10 Best Quotations From The Metal Gear Solid Franchise
5. I've Been Waiting For You, Solid Snake. Now We'll See If The Man Can Live Up To The Legend! Revolver Ocelot (Metal Gear Solid)
Whenever the Metal Gear Solid franchise is mentioned, one characters influence can never be overlooked: Revolver Ocelot. Making his initial debut in 1998, Ocelot, also known as Shalashaska, immediately made his impact within the first boss battle as he delivered one of the greatest lines from an introduction: I've been waiting for you, Solid Snake. Now we'll see if the man can live up to the legend! With Hideo Kojimas influence of films deeply incorporated within his illustrious franchise, the first boss battle set the atmosphere for a classic Wild West standoff between Solid Snake and FOXHOUNDs formidable gunslinger. Ocelots history within Metal Gear Solid has been explored in-depth with the more titles that Kojima has created, as his comment in the first MGS bares even more significance when its applied within a wider context: Ocelot never defeated Big Boss in battle, with him being humiliated on a number of occasions by Snake in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, but a showdown with the man who defeated Big Boss is an opportunity that Ocelot did not pass up. With Ocelot expected to play a crucial role in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Troy Baker (new voice actor for the character) says to Big Boss in the trailer, Now go! Let the legend come back to life! Taking Ocelots first comment and comparing it with this one, does he mean whether or not Solid Snake can live up to the legend that Big Boss created on the battlefield, or the one he created following the events of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake? Whichever way you look at his comment, Ocelot certainly made an effective first impression in Metal Gear Solid.
