Part 6: EVA and Raging Raven

 

Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Brian (@BrianJDraft) join Snake as he heads to Eastern Europe to locate Big Mama, who we know as EVA from Metal Gear Solid 3. This gives us plenty of opportunity to discuss her character, the history of The Patriots, and even a cut gameplay escort mission. And over all this hangs Raging Raven, who is just waiting for Snake to give her his anger!

#22 - Trapped in the Memory of Shadow Moses

Sequels, Prequels, and Remakes

Special Episode

 

Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Brian (@BrianJDraft) take some time to ruminate on the future, if any, of the Metal Gear Solid games franchise. We address the Kojima of it all, and if we even would want another MGS game in the first place. Finally, we opine on some of the popular ideas for future MGS games. A little something extra before our sojourn into Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots begins!
