Kojima was "inspired" by it, he has stated it in numerous interviews

That's correct. Snake even refers to himself as Plissken in MGS2.

this is called a "homage" not a theft

@d21lewis: Yep, that and Snake's sleeves are rolled up! It's clearly not a copy.

Is this for real? How can anyone not be aware of this? Solid Snake has always been based on Snake Plissken!



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

It's not the movie, but the character. Escape From NY and MG couldn't be more different as stories unless they made Escape From NY a romantic comedy. Kojima pays homage to many different movies and books in his games as do many other game makers. Did you know some of the dialogue from COD4 was lifted , word for word, for the some of the dev's favorite movies as a homage ?

Also Snatcher is heavily influenced by Blade Runner. The two main characters from Policenauts bear a striking personality resemblance to Riggs and Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon. Kojima is very influenced by movies when making his games.
