Does metal gear solid ever have an explanation for anything sciency beside
>NANOMACHINES
?
>>332617967
Nope.
Wasn't really necessary until 4 came along and shat the bed.
>>332618313
Why did 4 fail so much with the story?
Fuck 4 was long, almost 8 hours of cutscenes
>>332617967
Some shit in MGS can't actually be explained even with the use of NANOMACHINES, such as Psycho Mantis or the Sorrow.
>>332618590
But it was explained in V, wasn't it?
PARASITES
>>332618653
Actually the only thing NEVER to be explained was Mantis, it's heavily hinted that it isn't parasites. The rest is either NANOMACHINES SON or PARASITES SON.

There is a fair assumption of 'the supernatural just roll with it' untill nanoachines, son

Psycho Mantis and Sorrow were natural born psychics, and Ocelot inherited some of that from his parents as well.
Spirits and psychic powers are literally canon in MGS universe.
Most of the tech in the series is based on real-deal things, or at least their prototypes. Metal Gears and optic camoflages obviously go to the scifi section.
