Battle Of The PS3 Legends: Snake vs Drake

PS3Blog.net writes:

The Legendary Hero, Solid/Old Snake, makes a special return to test out the new blood in town; Nathan Drake. While Solid Snake has 3 ( PlayStation ) generations of experience behind him, Nathan Drake has youth ( and the ability to survive a train wreck! ) on his side. Which one of these heroes can come out on top?

Long time MGS fans will prefer Snake while those who haven't played or aren't keen on MGS are more likely to prefer Drake. That's what I think anyway. I'm more of a Drake fan myself.

Since when Drake is a legend? Solid Snake is a legend, a copy of the even more legendary Big Boss. Drake is a newcomer and he doesnt pretend to save the world as Solid Snake did.

2 - MGS4 and Uncharted 2's combat gameplay is pretty much the same actually.

but

Old Snake will win this no problem.

He will CQC the sh1t out of Drake. And if he ever tries to fight Snake with guns, Snake carries tons of weapons compared to Drake's 3. :D

Err, while Nate is cool character, Snake is far superior. He can stealth the sh*t out of everybody and beat the crap of pretty much anyone, looking at the history and events he survived, Drake is still newbie on the field.
But since they belong to the same playground I bet they go on a smoke or drink together in free time between the load times, cutscenes and gameplay scenes.

This comment is as much ridiculous as the article but at least the former contains some logical explanation.

Dude, Solidus was beaten by RAIDEN, the series b!tch (as cool as he was in 4.. he was still a b!tch).

Though I see where you're coming from, since Solidus is the exact copy of Big Boss. I admire it though.. stand up for your avatar!

Edit: Okay, I correct myself. Otacon is the series b!tch. At least Raiden doesn't cry in every game.

But don't you get it, that was the whole point. Solidus wanted to be remembered, he wanted to transpire into the ages so that he would never be forgotten. So that's why Kojima made him and finished him off with Raiden. A kid that nobody gave a sh!t about. Kojima also didn't really portray the story of the antagonist as good as MGS3 or 4 for instance. It didn't have that "I feel bad effect" like the two new iterations of the franchise. Hell, he even did better with Portable Ops with Gene.

Solidus deserved better, even in MGS4. Even the unlockable mask is called Big Boss even though its Solidus. He did show some of his badassness in MGS2 so I give Kojima some credit for portraying it.

Drake is just an everyday average joe, with killer aim. Snake is a military legend sent out to stop Armageddon on multiple occasions. Plus, all of the BS Old Snake had to endure during MGS4 made him probably the best hero of all time.

I've never seen so much internal PS3 conflict. Sony should totally do a Smash Bros rip-off. Snake, Kratos, Drake, Cole, Hale, Ratchet, Clank, Jak, Daxter, Gabe Logan, Sev.. hell, they could even bring Crash back. And Spyro. They could use the guy from Yakuza, and the main character in White Knight Chronicles (I don't know their names since they're NOT IN THE US YET DAMMIT).

But in all seriousness... Snake.

Since there isnt any exclusive for xbox 360 side to match with sony ps exclusive, two big ps exclusive or dev teams, ND and KP are being matched for the best place regarding the best game ever made. umm hard to me since it is a ps exclusives that we are talking about, but without doubt sorry drake, you just cant make me feel what playing through the metal gear sequels did but chills, uncharted 2 is just sooo epic, but snake win this for me, mgs for the win.

Snake>>>>>> Drake. Let see, Snake's been around 20 years, made it big 11 years ago. When he comes out with a new game it sets records ( 1.4 million sold on day one ). He moved sells $499 and $599 PS3 up 4003%. If you look at MGS4 and UC2, you will see a few similarities UC2 did that seem MGS4. Both are great at what they do. But Snake = Stealth and Stealth = a killer without notice or warning.
