Snake also wears the “Solid Eye” device which is basically an electronic eye patch that highlights enemies and items on the battlefield. This is a far cry from the constant camouflaging that was required in Metal Gear Solid 3 and a natural evolution of Snake’s sneaking suite. By simply standing close to something the suite automatically replicates the texture. It is a very different gameworld but fortunately Snake also has some new technology to help him out.įirst up is his OctoCamo which allows him to blend in better with his environments. Weapons are monitored and controlled by ID tags that ensure they don’t’ fall into the wrong hands. Unmanned bipedal robots with organic legs stalk the battlefields and strike fear into soldiers by mooing like cows before wreaking havoc. Soldiers on the battlefield are augmented with nanomachines that not only enhance their performance, but also make it easy for them to be monitored and tracked by the artificial intelligence network that oversees everything.
War fuels the economy with private military companies engages in constant skirmishes with rebels.
