Because in TPP you are Venom SNAKE, but not Big Boss.
GZ you are BB.
William Murphy
Do you need to post this fucking thread ever day?
Aiden Barnes
What the fuck are you saying? I'm trying to point out that Big Boss still goes by Snake in Ground Zeroes. Somehow, "call me Big Boss" went completely over his head.
Somehow, my question went completely over your head.

It's called marketing demands the player character always be referred to as "Snake" and to not worry about it.
Parker Jenkins
Been a while since I played, but I remember hearing "Boss...." at the start of every fucking sentence over the radio.
Ethan Clark
>marketing demands
Uh, no
They call him "Snake" in TPP's script as well, even when it details the Truth mission.
Not OP or or btw, just a passerby
William Scott
What does the original Japanese say?
Asher Thompson
I'm pretty sure he meant they put it in the game on purpose for brand recognition. Raiden is the only exception in MGS2, but every other game you play as "Snake", whether Solid or Naked. And in the Solid saga you fight Liquid a lot.
Even people that don't play the game will call Solid/Naked "Snake."
So it makes sense to include it that way.

Obviously, you know what this means in English

>Even people that don't play the game will call Solid/Naked "Snake."
Why would a voice casting sheet account for that, it wouldn't help with anything

>In all games you have Snake
>Well, actually, two Snakes, two different Snakes
>By always having Snake in every game, his background slowly develops over time
Kojima doesn't call him "Big Boss" in this interview when referring to him as a favorite character of his, he calls him Snake.
Chase Howard
Because the devs purposefully go out of their way to call him Snake when possible for recognition. So even new players know they are Snake, since the series can be confusing to newcomers.
And they initially call him Big Boss so veteran and new players alike know which Snake it is. They could go with "Naked Snake" but he more or less ditched the codename when you only look at lore.
It's a mainstream video game so it makes sense they would want to make it as approachable as possible.
It's really not that complex and makes sense from a marketing stand point to include this down the the development level.

Then why does GZ introduce him as Snake?

THEY PLAYED US LIKE A GOD DAMN NINTENDO GAMECUBE

Did you not read the OP pic dumb fuck
That's straight from the opening of Ground Zeroes, which takes place after Peace Walker (the game where he said "from now on, call me Big Boss"), mind you.
Anthony Ross
>he calls Big Boss "Snake"
>he calls Venom Snake "Big Boss"
Parker Bailey
And several anons have explained that even if it breaks lore it makes sense for marking and brand recognition.
It's not our fault you're too autistic to accept it.
Anthony Bell
It doesn't break the lore. Big Boss goes by Snake whenever he's on the field.
It looks like you're more autistic than me for saying that it's all for "marketing and brand recognition".
Dylan Fisher
Autism of a weaponized kind.
Asher Martinez
Is there even a difference between Snake and Boss
Gabriel James
Then why are you spergging in this thread?
Nolan Barnes
10, in fact. Can you spot them all?
John Morgan
Naked Snake = Big Boss
Venom Snake = Faggot Big Boss LARPer shitty plot point Kojima shat out of his ass
Logan Roberts
Not you asshat
Christopher Ross
Kojima never said that he calls Big Boss "Snake" for marketing and recognition
Kojima never said that he calls Big Boss "Snake" in the context of when he's on a mission
Kojima uses Big Boss and Snake interchangeably
You guys really need to find rehab

Shut up, shut up, shut the fuck up with all of this autism RIGHT NOW.
His protagonist name is "Snake".
His character name according to the timeline is "Big Boss".
For the body double, his protagonist name is "Punished 'Venom' Snake" despite what Metal Gear Wiki, the opening of the Truth mission, and Ocelot say
His character name according to the timeline is "Big Boss' phantom".
Now shut the fuck up and sage this thread to oblivion.

Jaxon Bell
A important aspect of Metal Gear is that major characters go by a million names each.
Noah Barnes
>when Boss calls Ocelot "Adam" and Ocelot calls Boss "John"
and of course it was buried in goddamn cassete tapes
Benjamin Green
Characters as NPC's in Metal Gear are allowed to do whatever they want. They're way more badass than when they're "the protagonist".
They don't have to go by Snake and be bound to being a role in war sob stories.
Ever wondered why Solid Snake was sort of an asshole to Raiden in MGS2? It's because he was being an NPC there.

>He specifically represents Big Boss' phantom.
