Solidus' body was at the feet of the Washington Statue one moment and then gone the next... and burned to a crisp? Try Big Boss, Solid Snake had to sort him out a few times.
But Vamp, we saw him stop breathing after convulsions and what not then the base collapsed when Snake and Raiden...and the MK2, fled in REX. Not to mention Shadow Moses Island was sinking into the sea thanks to global warming.
I'm not dead set against Vamp for any reason, but if it's him in this new game, set after MGS4... then they better explain why.. with a better reason than 'this is a separate adventure to MGS'.
EDIT:
@Sickboy
Yeah, my posts read like I am a Vamp hater, but I am still annoyed about why they never explained Fortune's ability to deflect missles AFTER she had her magnets disabled.. and now this? They used to TRY to answer things for us.. that's what MGS4 was meant to be, answers to the questions and resolution. But yeah, sounds like I am getting worked up over it.

Fair enough, the way I see that is that there doesn't need to be an explanation for Fortunes abililty to deflect missiles after her magnets disabled because it's a work of fiction and that moment was just a nice wee symbolic thing of 'Wow, she was lucky afterall' type thing you know. Although if an explanation is what you want then there's a possibility that that device someow reacted with nanomachines within her body during the time it was on her and so they perhaps evolved to give her that ability,,, even just temporarily perhaps cos its not like she does live for long after it's taken off of her.
It's cool though, we all see things differently.
SPOILER WARNING EDIT - In MGS1 Liquid survives a Helicopter crash, and falling off of Metal Gear and Stinger missiles to the face when he's in Metal Gear and a car crash, in MGS3 Big Boss gets shot in the eye and doesnt get medical treatment yet is totally fine, in MGS4 a man essentially walks through a massive microwave and is fine, I don't think we can realy get too caught up in the explanations xD
In MGS4 his body (or what remains of it after all of the surgery that's performed on it) is used as a decoy for Big Boss' and its burned when Vamp (?) throws it on the burning wreckage of Meryl's boat. It's just before the part where Snake saves Eva from the flames, but burns the left side of his face in the process.
*knows too much useless stuff*
Anyone else watching E3 stuff live over at gametrailers.com?
Was just a playthrough of a section of Rising Revengeance and it looks pretty good. The slick combat that Platinum are known for along with some Metal Gear quirks, ie the alert sounds and cardboard boxes.
Im sure it'll be on youtube or whatever soon
It looks okay, but I still don't know how I feel about a Metal Gear game where I'm basically being forced to kill the enemy. I know that was basically Raiden's thing in MGS4 though I prefer the traditional MGS style of play.
Speaking of stealth, I saw the Splinter Cell demo shown at the Microsoft conference and it just seemed really dumb to me. It's like the lead designer of that game just slammed a copy of Uncharted 3 onto the board meeting table and basically told everyone to make that. I'm not a fan of Splinter Cell's "hide in the dark of corner of a room to progress" style of play, but it just looks like the Tom Clancy games are all just converging into the same game template now.
I've seen the video of Rising now where that Keighley guy acts all awkward with the developers and we see Raiden do a stealth kill and an impression of Yoshimitsu at the same time.. .then cut the tree down which then disappears, which I didn't like.
The game looks ok though apart from that. I expect if I play it I'll be very much a one-chop-then-grab-the-blue-thing kind of player... saving my slice'n'dice stuff for when it forces me to. I got bored of it in Afro Samurai.

So.............. (highlight to read possible spoilers) he's had all his cyborg stuff upgraded sine MGS4? I still think overall the games gonna turn out realy good, but it worried me a little when the guy in the video said there's going to be surprise appearances from certain characters. I almost think the further the game distances itself from Metal Gear in everything other than name then the more it'll be accepted, but hey, still looking good
