It's always seem really strange that a 3DS version of this game was made, especially since no other Metal Gear game was ever released on any Nintendo portable. Having a 3D game which changed to a 2D game when the main character lost an eye was too great an opportunity to pass up, and by an interesting coincidence Naked Snake lost his eye in [=MGS3=], so that's why he chose that game to port.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


As successful as the novels were, though, there was a concern that it was still too close to the truth. So, the government decided to set up an ongoing series of propaganda films. However, this time, the truth had to be stretched as far as possible. Multiple actors were cast to play James Bond, as a larger-than-life, NighInvulnerable, OneManArmy heroic pornomancer, each carefully selected to make sure that they didn't resemble the real 007 too much. The Bond girls of the novels were changed further into either love interests, typical action girls or brief eye candy. Villains had their evilness and hamminess cranked UpToEleven. Gadgets became futuristic wonders, cool cars were driven, exotic locales were visited and spying was presented as a thrilling adventure to the public. Finally, just to make sure, the films were heavily hyped until they overshadowed the novels in fame.

*Venom Snake throws a wrench into this one. Although Big Boss didn't flinch at the idea of having a brainwashed body double live a lie, he did eventually tell the truth to Venom. Hum.

\n* All of you are missing the obvious truth: Ocelot was already using Revolvers long before he met Snake. Think about it; Ocelot appears in his first scene already wearing spurs, using revolver shooting techniques, and executing fancy trick shots like a pro. Operation Snake Eater occured barely a week later, not nearly enough time to learn how to juggle three revolvers with the skill he displays. It's not as if Snake inspired him to start watching Westerns, and John Wayne sure doesn't use semi-autos. Ocelot was simply using a Makarov for the sake of the Virtuous Mission, planning on having it jam. He might have left it at that, but having Snake talk down to him over an intentional mistake really pissed him off. Enough to try to stab Snake, despite his mission, only to get himself handled legitimately. This would explain why he takes every opportunity to show off later on, and anything else he said was just keeping in character.

[[WMG: Each VideoGame/MetalGear game takes place in different [[AlternateUniverse Alternate Universes]], and the FOX unit have different roles in each one.]]
Considering how much the series tends to {{retcon}} a lot of stuff for each game, and how a lot of people say that the PlotTwist about the FOX unit being [[spoiler: the founders of the Patriots]] came out of nowhere, I figured it'd make sense for each game to be an AlternateTimeline of some sort that showcases different futures for the FOX unit.
* In the original ''Metal Gear'' games and the first three ''Metal Gear Solid'' games, only Big Boss went rogue as a result of the Boss's death, while the rest of the FOX unit didn't and just simply went about their own lives after the events of ''Metal Gear Solid 3''. [[spoiler: The Patriots]] were instead a shadowy organization of completely different people.
* In ''Metal Gear Solid 4'', the FOX unit were EvilAllAlong, and even in the 60's showed signs of being megalomaniacal from the start, using the Boss's death as an excuse to start controlling the masses. Basically the MirrorUniverse to first timeline.
* In ''Metal Gear Solid 5'', Skull Face takes over [[spoiler: the Patriots]], while Zero was GoodAllAlong.
