Biography: A dangerous mercenary with a taste for blood, Vamp was a member of the Dead Cell unit that was co-opted to become the terrorist organization “The Sons of Liberty” in MGS2. Vamp seemingly has supernatural abilities, as well as being indestructible - Raiden apparently kills him several times in MGS2, though he is seen in the crowd at that game’s conclusion.
What he’s doing in MGS4: MGS4 will see a rematch between Raiden and Vamp - the 2007 E3 trailer showcases some of this epic fight, and it’s a doozy. Whose side is Vamp on though? We’re not sure yet…
Metal Gear Solid's former art director once said he spends "a lot of time fussing over the details of the characters' backside since that's the side the player sees most in-game"
In 1997, Hideo Kojima said the "one thing" he wanted to avoid in Metal Gear Solid was "tedious" cutscenes with characters "blabbering at each other for 4 or 5 minutes"
