How old is Big Boss?

[Bukkacracy]

In MGS2 Liquid/Ocelot tells snake that Big Boss was in his late fifties when they created the Les Enfants Terribles project. Specifically somewhere between 1972-1974 is what he was talking about. Since this TPP is meant to take place in 1984 wouldn't that place Big Boss in his late sixties?

If so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ he really has some legendary genes.

49-50. He was born in 1935.

Kojima stated that he would be reconning some things in favor of a better story. I don't have the source though. This "late fifties" fact looks to be one of the casualties.

To think I once trusted Ocelot's words like the gospel

he loks about almost 50 in GZ so 1935 makes sense as a year (since he looks the same in TPP)

I wish Kojima was able to remake the series and retcon everything so it all makes sense.
