Actions speak louder than words and Kojima's actions speak the loudest. Also have you ever seen what Troy Baker looks like? It's no wonder Hideo Kojima didn't want anybody knowing he'd be in the game. Troy Baker is pretty much close to a working professional in the game's industry who happens to look like a live action Ocelot. Again if this weren't true then why all the secrecy in regards to Troy Baker of all things? Why put his character in a mask? We already well aware that various other actors, i.e. Lea Seydoux, Mads Mikkelsen, Lidsay Wagner Norman Reedus have all lended their likeness to their characters; I'd imagine the same is going to be for Troy.
Furthermore, what's Troy Baker's character doing here specifically? He's summoning a big cat whilst talking about: 'tweaking the rules...' Come on... I get symbolism; but that's not even close to being subtle; it's a jack hammer to the skull. Ocelot wants to be seen as the king of the jungle afterall, an Ocelot with the pride of a lion. Pretty blatant. In addition to the context of trailer 2; Mads's character in particular happens to just look like The Sorrow looking for his son during D-Day 1945. Ocelot was born on D-Day after-all. After The Boss had given birth on the battlefields of Normandy he was taken by an agent of The Philosophers.
Both this character and Mads have a similar pointing gesture. (Just like The Sorrow and Ocelot.) If this had absolutely zero connection to Metal Gear as a universe then why does its origin suspiciously tie to 1945 Normandy D-Day? You'd have throught that for an new IP Kojima would be more original; not copy and paste the entire origin story template from Metal Gear Solid. It's clearly not just some random series of events; there must be a ryhme and reason to all this. Therefore if the whole thing was indeed a lovecraftian style nightmare within a A.I. (The Boss's mind became the base of The Patriots A.I.) all of these connections would make a lot of sense.
Not to mention people originally assumed that the hooded figure in the third trailer was Mads; all this time it was Troy Baker. Which means Mads's character is mainly tied to the events of 1945, but I could be wrong. He just, so happens to be the same age as The Sorrow would potentially be during that time period...
