As if tactical espionage action wasn't extreme enough, it seems as if Old Snake may make a guest appearance in MotorStorm Pacific Rift. A keen viewer of the E3 2008 trailer noticed that at 0:44 and 0:58 seconds, a character riding a motorbike sported a startling resemblance to everyone's favorite action hero, Snake. We've included some screen grabs below.

    they do show the face, and it is a mask lol. it would be awesome if he was included, like the Assassin's Creed cloak was in MGS4, put snake in Motorstorm 2, but I doubt it completely. They would probably use the MGS1 and 2 version of Snake, not old.

    At 0:44 there's a brief view from the front, but the rider is in a mask so it's impossible to truly tell.

    I like this. I like how games incorprate other characters that are exclusive to that system.

    hey guys if you noticed its a girl with blonde hair wearing padding, if you noticed just shortly after they show the bck of the girl followed by a scene where they show her face.

    That doesn't look exactly like snake but since this rumor is going around they may throw him in there. That would be cool and It'd be the differance of me buying the game and not buying it. Snake screaming after falling off the motor bike would be awesome or making his fighting noises while punching.

    I fail to see how that looks anything like snake. Apart from the ong hair.

    psn id : gingo.... it wouldbe pretty cool to see snake in motorstorm but i really cant see it happening even though it looks a lot like him

    If it is Snake, what would be cool is if whatever vehicle he drives changes color to match the surroundings :)

    it could be an unlockable, solid snake is the face of playstation. why not have him seen in other games as a joke or for kicks or giggles.  atleast make posters of him in the game. he's probably one of the most well known characters in playstation games.      but,  i doubt they did put him in the game; you have to get konami,kojima to give it the ok. it's there character.

    Although I really don't think it's Snake in the video, it would be a cool premise to have the grissled veteran as an unlockable character.  What else is Snake going to do being forced into retirement with months left to live.  Why not go balls out in the world's most extreme racing event Motorstorm for one last taste of glory?

    i like the idea of putting characters as guests in games, it's soo cool, like can u imagine when resistance 2 is released and u start playing then after passing some of the game u have another prson to team up with and he is nathan drake from UNCHARTED wouldn't that be amazing ??

    ya know, it looks more like Psycho Mantis from MGS1. i mean look at how slim the character is, the clothing texture, and what looks to be a breathing apparatus on the face.

    Just because its wearing a gray outfit, have white hair and a bandana doesnt mean its snake. Pretty much like him but I'm 99.99% isnt.

     It does look like him but do you really think Snake would be in MotorStorm? That's just stupid. It's not Super Smash Brothers!

    They show that same rider leaning back and waving her fist about 2/3 of the way through the vid. Yep, I said her. Unless Snake had mammory augmentation.

    if you look at the image you can be fooled that it's snake but if you take a closer look at the video this rider is a girl,

     its a bit dubious how the possible Old Snake screenshots look graphically terrible compared to the  other confirmed ones.

    I would doubt very much that this is old snake, if they were going to do snake it would be accurate to the character, his suit is wrong, his bandanna is wrong.

    evoloution studios (motorstorm)  would have paid kojima (metal gear) alot of money to use snake so there is no way that is snake
