Metal Gear Solid V Doctor Bears Striking Resemblance To Real Doctor, Fans Discover

Some might not like Hideo Kojima’s approach in game designing but no one can deny that some of the ideas the Japanese game designer comes up with are truly something else. This time, however, the man might have really outdone himself.

All those who have been patiently waiting for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain to hit consoles and PC this September have probably watched over and over the game’s trailers that have been released these past few months. Most of them feature a scene where Big Boss, aka Naked Snake, aka Punished Snake, aka Venom Snake, aka several other names, wakes up from a 9 years long coma. Updating the legendary war hero on his conditions is an unnamed doctor.

Some fans of the series might have discovered something really interesting about the doctor. Not too long ago, an Italian doctor called Sergio Canavero has revealed his plans to perform the first ever head transplant. The Italian doctor bears a striking resemblance to the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain doctor.

Other things about the matter also seem to fall right into place, as discovered by some of the members of the NeoGAF forums. Among other things, Dr. Canavero is doing a talk in Cyprus about head transplanting and the hospital where Big Boss wakes up at the beginning of The Phantom Pain is indeed in Cyprus, as discovered in the files of the PC version of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes some time ago. Mere coincidences or crazy viral marketing? With Hideo Kojima, it’s quite difficult to tell. Given the themes of The Phantom Pain, it’s not unlikely that Hideo Kojima might have simply been inspired by Dr. Canavero and his research. You can read more about the matter and learn more about other weird coincidences by reading the NeoGAF forums thread.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be released this September on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC. The game will be the final entry of the series directed by Hideo Kojima, as he will be leaving Konami for good this December as reported earlier this month to the dismay of fans of the franchise all over the world.

As a long time gamer, Francesco has survived more zombie invasions, meteor strikes, magic spells than he can count. He still keeps fighting today to bring hope into countless gaming worlds. Or destruction, depending on his mood. Writing about video games was only the natural step for such a dangerous life.

After a long wait, it appears that the search for a capable Hollywood actor to bring the brooding Shadow the Hedgehog to life has come to an end. Keanu Reeves, a renowned actor known for his iconic roles in film franchises such as The Matrix and John Wick, as well as his involvement in the highly anticipated game Cyberpunk 2077, has officially been cast for the role.

Speculation has been running wild lately, but The Hollywood Reporter has officially confirmed the casting, citing reliable sources in the know. News of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 being showcased at Cinemacon has quickly spread. Reeves is sure to bring his own special touch to the role, but it’s uncertain how well he will mesh with the mustachioed Dr. Robotnik, as Jim Carrey is set to reprise the character.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Retry Wording Has Been Updated in a Subtle Manner

Despite the numerous praises players have showered upon Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, there is one particular aspect of the game that has garnered nothing but criticism: the perplexing wording of its retry screen, which players encounter when facing a Game Over. Fortunately, the developers have discreetly resolved this issue in the game’s latest patch. They have fixed the Platinum Trophy progression, resulting in a slightly less confusing experience for players.

If you don’t possess exceptional combat abilities, chances are you’ve come across the game’s notorious four options: “Retry from Current Battle, Retry from This Battle, Retry from Before Battle, or Resume.”. As an avid gamer, I must admit that I’ve experienced the frustration of losing precious time due to my own foolish mistake. In this particular instance, I found myself engrossed in fine-tuning my matrix and equipping my party, only to have it all go to waste when I encountered a formidable enemy. To compound my error, I made the ill-advised decision to retry the battle, resulting in an hour of agonizing repetition. Lesson learned!

The “Retry from This Battle” option has become a source of frustration for players who are struggling with the game’s final boss encounter, leading to a significant number of rage-quits. Without giving away any surprises, opting for that choice after being defeated would result in players being sent back to the beginning of the final boss encounter, needlessly forcing them to forfeit approximately an hour’s worth of hard-earned progress in battle.

After the update, players now have the option to select “Retry from the Current Phase” instead of “Retry from Before the Current Battle.”. It’s worth noting that this change is only slightly improved. It’s rather disappointing that the screen is overly convoluted, which may lead to players feeling frustrated. While it’s better late than never, we can’t help but wonder if this issue will persist in the future.
