Metal Gear Solid’s Vamp Resurrected in Assassin’s Creed 4

Metal Gear Solid's Vamp, who has been killed numerous times in both MGS2 and MGS4 – appears to have come back once again; this time in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.

As you can see above the multiplayer characters bears a striking resemblance to the Snake's nemisis.

Reddit noted that Vamp's been through a pretty rough ride:

MGS2

• Shot in the head after Fortune fight
• Repeatedly shot and drowned during his boss fight
• Sniped in the face after Emma section 

MGS4

• Shot in the face after South America segment
• Raiden stabs him numerous times, again after South America segment
• Repeatedly shot during his boss fight, then injected
• Raiden cuts him up a bit

This isn't the first time Kojima and Ubisoft have played homage to each other's games – You can unlock a Raidan skin in Brotherhood while Snake has an Altair costume in MGS4. There are also references to Assassin's Creed in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker including a leap of faith.
