look at his beard, and his hair is a lot more brown in the new trailer and he is more younger in the face. Psyco mantis could be doing this, but will still represent what went on when he was in a coma. Also, the missing arm could be another representation of a past event. Or perhaps when he went into a coma, he broke his arm in some way. But he was in a coma at some point, liquid explain this in metal gear solid 1.

kid flying => Psycho Mantis.
I know that what liquid explained happens when Bigboss is about to get cloned. But still this soldiers equipment is the same as in GZ, which shows that they both happen around the same time.

That is why I think: (copy pasting my previous comment)
What I think is happening is that BigBoss has been captured and they are using the powers of Psycho Mantis to dive into his mind and get some information, and all what is happening about the whale, the flaming Pegasus and the killing is only happening in Snake´s mind. The one bandaged is the dude from the ground Zeroes trailer, and maybe in that illusion Psycho mantis is making him help snake so that he trusts him, and give them the information they want. OR the burned dude was really there.
The arm thing most probably refers to something that actually happened in the game. Maybe he broke his arm, so in the illusion it is like a prosthetic arm because he can not use it.
But in the end, the Illusion is made around the memory of the events after he was in coma.
Or Snake is just FUCKING DREAMING ABOUT HOW HE ESCAPED!!!! LMAO!
