As long as Kojima finds a reasonable way to explain "inconsistancy", I won't call it a retcon. Thus the only time that I can think of him retconning is for the two earliest MG games.

Now onto the part with Liquid Snake's comment on Big Boss' age, don't forget that Liquid may not have been told the truth to begin with. All long-time MGS fans would recall Liquid died thinking that he is the inferior one when in fact he's the superior one, I won't be surprised if Kojima applies the same principle to say Liquid was misinformed of Big Boss' age. And in the case of Liquid Ocelot, the laziest way Kojima can "explain" his comment is that Ocelot lies (as he always does). Anyway, this is just how I see it and I am interested to see how Kojima tackle this in-game. Thats what i was trying to say. Sometimes in the story its interpretes by certain characters in a specific way which may turn out be wrong in the future. So i wouldnt class that as a retcon but the main thing as long as he does it in a proper manner like the whole Dr.Clark incident with her being thought to be man whilst actually being a woman in reality which actually happens in real life and could just be a common mistake to mistake her for being a man. I hope whatever in TPP Kojiima is gonna do to the metal gear canon he'll do it inn a way that makes sense which doesnt f@#k up the main storyline thats already been established.
