SOLIDUS

Real name: ---------
Lenght: ---------

"Solidus," a name mentioned in the

belief is that Solidus is a third clone

Snake, but Konami is understandably
tight-lipped on the subject.

MGS2's character models are very refined, especially in
terms of facial detail -- finally, the characters in a Metal
Gear game have eyes (incidentally, those 3D faces now
appear in the codec screen, too). They also have far
more model detail adorning their bodies. Snake has all
kinds of odds and ends attached to his web gear;
Revolver Ocelot's gunbelts and duster coat look
marvelous; Olga's baggy parachute pants provide an
oddly voluminous counterpoint to her slight figure, and
she has all sorts of weaponry attached to them or tucked
inside.
The game's realtime cinemas (none of the cutscenes
shown so far include any pre-rendered footage) provide a
remarkable showcase for those characters. They are
animated with amazing precision, and their direction
shows an unshakably sure hand. The standoff between
Snake and Olga, for example, shows excellent pacing
amid some very complex bits of animation and camera
direction -- it's the equal of any number of classic action
films.
