i know theres not much info here but if you closely at the badge its a dog and not a fox which represents the dog next to him, what makes me interested is that these dogs can be used to hunt foxes. this has led me to believe that another clone has been made to hunt down solid/old snake. would be cool to have snake as the hunted and not the hunter.
Only problem is this: who is hunting Snake and why? The Patriots have been shut down, Zero is gone, Big Boss and a majority of the antagonists are dead. However that dog might just be a Fox Hound, perhaps it's a bridge between Big Boss leaving FOXHOUND and his eventual return to the unit?
I was thinking on the same train of thought as you. What im thinking is that there was either a fourth clone of Big Boss (Ie; Liquid, Solid, Soilidus and Mr 4th guy) Or even a clone of Solid Himself, which was designed to act as a sort of failsafe in case of the destruction of the central AI (such as the one at the end of MGS4)
This clone might be trained to assassinate all living clones of Big Boss, Since the only real thing that could kill a Big Boss clone was a Big Boss clone (-Or raiden, now that i think about it-)
But that's just assumption.
for all i know, it could be another Big Boss story; Before MGS3. After all, there was a time when Big Boss was just Snake, Before he started the mission to kill The Boss. Perhaps this is one of these stories? I mean, there is a large amount of time before the time of MGS3 that could be used.
However, i just realized that the entirety of the MGS storyline is more of less closed and finished; MGS 3 being the first in the storyline (Where Big Boss found the Philosophers legacy), Followed by the Peace Walkers and Portable ops (After which Big Boss was successfully cloned to create the three clones, and the beginning of the "Patriots" AI scheme), Then followed by the Original Metal Gear And Metal Gear 2 (Where Big Boss was "Killed" by solid snake), Then MGS1 (Where Liquid snake is killed -Death of clone one-, and Ocelot is forced to attach Liquids hand to his arm - Or DID he?!?! -), MGS2 (Where raiden successfully destroys AI one of four - GW i think? And kills Solidus - Clone two - Leaving snake the last remaining clone) and MGS4 (Where "Liquids Insurrection" uses the Guns of the Patriots, only for Solid Snake to kill "Liquid Ocelot" and destroy the remaining AI systems, stopping SOP)
So, all the way from the start at MGS3, everything is more or less finished by MGS4. Ai are dead, Two of three clones are dead (and snake to soon follow), Big Boss finally dies, Zero dies, Otacon moves on in life, Naomi dies, Vamp dies, Basically, the only person left alive is Mei Ling.
So what else is there? Either MGS5 is the start of a entirely new storyline with entirely new characters, or is a stand-alone prequel to MGS3.
Or, of course, something i haven't though of yet.
TL;DR I have no friggin idea.
FakeEdit: I just thought, it could be more related to Jack's (Read: Raiden) Story. Afterall, the part where Jack rescued sunny from the Patriots is only mentioned in passing in the game. This is something they may expand upon.
