Only thing I'm still unsure is if we actually already truly saw this famous "underworld" where you're supposedly taken when the monsters catch you. Is it the grey place with all the dead fish where Sam is naked in the reveal trailer? Or is it the very short shot of Sam with a grey face about to shoot himself? When Mad's character appears from the black goo, is he coming from this "underworld"?
Dude, I'm so glad I'm not alone in this thinking. This game is going to have so many twists and turns that it'll put MGS2 to shame.
It's crazy, we're going into this knowing fuck all. While maybe not a bait and switch a la MGS2, there's that feeling of mystery that pervades the entire game from marketing to the world to even basic moment-to-moment gameplay (though we have a better understanding of that now).
It might not be a total bait and switch like MGS2, but I really feel there is a big twist very close to the beginning that they are keeping really close to the chest.
