An anonymous reader writes "Snake is back from the ashes, and this time it's gonna be a videogame made by Namco! It is based off the new comic book, and John Carpenter, Debra Hill and Kurt Russell all seem to be involved! 2005 is a long time to wait, but here's hoping it is better then Escape from LA." Another reader points out an MSNBC article discussing the resurgence of the un-Solid Escape From New York character, whose videogame adaptation looks to be courtesy Namco Hometek, US-based developers of Dead To Rights.

Snake is a great character for a video game. Plus the gadgets in the movies would also be good to develop. I wonder what engine this will use, but I'm guessing it'll be akin to the Doom 3 engine.

The character art looks pretty darn cool too. If they do this right, it could generate the kind of popularity Vice City did, yet with a Fallout flavour.
