Quarrel, Scarlett, Meryl Silverburgh and Metal Gear Solid

Anyone else here played Metal Gear Solid?

Occurred to me that Meryl - with a significant role in MGS4 - is a bit like :quarrel: and very much like :scarlett:

Anyone expert in the admittedly substantial MGS concordance?

You're right! I checked the link and even her CGI model is similar to VvsV :scarlett:

Had :scarlett: reached Japan back by the mid-90s?

Hideo Kojima is an über-OCD case. He'd remember her ...

Hmmm... I just noticed that the Policenauts version is not so similar to :scarlett: as the Metal gear Solid version. Maybe Hideo Kojima found her attitude similar to "that character from that western toyline" and redesigned her according to that?

She does have a resemblance to Quarrel and Scarlett I agree.

I think character too. Though by MGS4 she's more like :snakeeyes: 's older sister. Yeah, the main character is called 'Snake'.

Get the rest and get a PS3, worth it, esp. now as the latest slimline version is more robust.

Some of the meta-narrative offshoots to PSP and Nintendo, haven't played those yet. Maybe in my next life.
