It\u2019s not ACTUALLY a series about Big Boss and his sons. It\u2019s a series about Big Boss\u2019s legacy and the people who were affected by it. In Metal Gear Solid, Snake works with Hal \u201cOtacon\u201d Emmerich. Thirty years earlier, in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Naked Snake works with his father, Huey, and they\u2019re largely identical in most ways, so identical that one has to wonder for a minute if Snake was the only subject in the Patriots\u2019 cloning program. But if you played MGS2, you already know they <i>\/aren\u2019t\/<\/i> the same because Huey goes nuts and drowns himself and tries to drown his stepdaughter in a vengeful murder-suicide after he catches his second wife molesting Hal. \u201cRevenge\u201d is explored in MGS5, where we learn that Hal &amp; Huey are pretty much only identical in appearance."}
