What causes him to age is that he was a clone of big boss, and if you clone a 50 year old, your genes are gonna be that of a 50 year old and aging onward. You're gonna go real fast.

So then why does Snake look younger than 50 in four different Metal Gear games?

 

Advanced cellular degeneration caused by the cloning process used to create him has aged him prematurely. That is how things work. Ever keep hearing the phrase you havn't aged well? It was used even in metal gear solid 1 by frank jaeger. I also know im correct cause I was asked this question at the midnight launch and won a playstation backpack for it.

At bolded: That is how things work where? You're acting like this is scientific fact.

Also your first statement about cellular degeneration caused by the cloning process aging him prematurely contradicts your earlier statement that it was caused because he has the genes of a 50 year old man. Also Snake is in his fourties in MGS4 based on the timeline(born in 1972) meaning he's over 90 years old when you add that 50 years he started out with. I fail to see how Snake would have been able to do anything other than walk to the nursing home with a cane at that age.

 

Do you ever wonder why you never hear of clones living long for animals and usually die within a few years? It is because of this.

Here is a link even proving that

he primary theory as to why Dolly and other clones did not survive is that of accelerated aging. Accelerated aging in this sense would be due to the shortening of telomeres. Telomeres are "the segment of DNA that occurs at the ends of chromosomes (Cloning)." These segments prevent genetic threads on the DNA from wearing out. Once these telomeres are completely worn out, the DNA can no longer be reproduced.

 

EDIT: and once again in case you missed it. The history of solid snake stating exactly as i have said above. http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Solid_Snake
