This boot screen is seen at the start of the Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection: PS Vita edition.

I can't make out what the picture is supposed to be.

    I've taken the liberty of swapping out the hand-held image for an HD one that I found on MobyGames.

The picture is a composite close-up of two separate machines seen in the Metal Gear Solid franchise and found in the HD Collection


The top part of the picture is a close-up image of the front prong of the Shagohod from MGS3: Snake Eater.

The bottom part of the picture is a close-up image of the arm of the Metal Gear RAY from MGS2: Sons of Liberty.

  • I don't think the arm is rotated in the boot screen image. It's just the left arm rather than the right. Well answered otherwise though. +1 Commented Feb 10, 2021 at 0:25
  • @LogicDictates - We were both wrong. They've flipped the image horizontally.

  • I was 'speaking' from an in-universe perspective, rather than an image-formatting perspective. In-universe, that's just the left arm. Commented Feb 10, 2021 at 0:58
  • @LogicDictates - Well, no. It's a picture that has been flipped horizontally. It's actually the right arm in-universe.
