Always suspected that Kurt Russel and Clint Eastwood served as the main inspiration for solid snake. There is also a manga element to the character design that carried over as the representation of the characters became ever more visually realistic.

Snakes ethnicity would then be 'western european/caucasian heroic male' as envisioned by japanese character artists.

Yeah, but the V model is just plain weird. That's what I'm trying to bring up. The 3 model has a tinier forehead, less edgy cheeklines, and overall looks way more Western European/British than the faggot that I put in the OP

They clearly went for less anime influences in V but still keeping a resemblance to the young Big Boss as depicted in 3.
Anime heads that have a big crown and pointed jaw like snake in 2,3 and even MGS4 is a very feminine ratio for a skull.
As snake was made ever more realistic they prob felt they had to introduce more masculine features to his overall bonestructure.

In V Big Boss is also on the path towards becoming the villain.
The expression built into his neutral face is prob very deliberately depicted as being more harrowed and tormented.

anon, the MGS3 models look fine. Pachislot shows that the MGS3 style can perfectly be upgraded without problems.

Yeah looks fine, but all the characters in the game are then as coherently weebed.

If you had a snake that looked as weeb as the MGS3 version in MGSV you could not juxtapose him with a Quiet that looks like a real woman and so on.
Snake would look like a cartoon character next to all the more photo-realistic depictions of humans in that game if they kept the MGS3 morphology.

I don't see how this can be considered weeb, plenty of humans look like these in real life

You've probably consumed too much 2D and is no longer able to tell.

>plenty of humans look like these in real life

That artstyle is like everyone is a cartoonized version of some Hollywood A-list actor, both men and women have the same feminine base morphology with
more idealized and spindly features and lighter bonestructure than you'd ever happen upon in real life.
Look at Ocelot there, Orlando Bloom playing an elf looks less elven than that Ocelot, even for a women that would be a very light glass jaw IRL.

You have grown ass men running around looking like they're a sixteen year old Leonardo Dicaprio with an adults complexion, that doesn't happen in real life.
Where you do see adults with such super juvenile lightbulb heads and pointed jaws all the time is in anime.

Therefore you can look at characters from MGS you can look at RE, DMC or FF and go "yeah, this was made by the japanese".
You don't go "hmm these looks just like everyday people, I wonder from what very specific island nation this may not at all have originated from"

Did no one even play the game or at least seen the ending? MGSV BB isn't BB, makes sense his face would look different from the original since surgery can only go so far.
Considering his past shenanigans, that looks like something Kojima would actually intend.

Yeah I do remember that part now that you mention it. I kinda retcon Kojima in my own head so his stories are way less retarded than they really are.

The man is sorta like JJ Abrams, quite genius at conveying mood and feeling, terrible at telling a coherent story
without massive plotarmor and straight up magic shit happen left and right to handwave away what's happening on screen.

>"First you wake up in the hosptal and it feel really visceral and gritty real because you have muscle atrophy and can't walk u see" "ok cool."
>"But then we subvert your expectation of reality by introducing vengeful FOFF ghost!" "uhm.. Mr Kojima are you sure we wanna?"

Not him but you're only saying that these don't look real because you know they don't.

If you showed these faces (>>843338) to someone that has never played video games, they'd likely give some sort of palatable responses
>"This lady looks like that actress"
>"This lady looks British"
>"That man with the skinned hair looks French"
Even if it's entirely wrong.

No I'm not saying that at all. They look realistic but they absolutely don't look real.
If one of these characters walked past you in a supermarket you'd be stunned that sumkinda weeb android just strolled by.

There's very obv stylization going on, you don't need to be a trained artist to realize that these aren't meant as depictions of real humans.
Hyper realism was never the goal there.

What I am saying is that if we applied similar quality skinshaders to a bunch of scans of real faces and did a line up and asked people to pic out the fictional characters
10 out of 10 regular people would succeed and 9 out of 10 faceblind mofos would also be able to accomplish the task.
