* This phase shares many similarities with the ''Metal Gear Solid'' series, such as similar stealth mechanics and the dialogue presented if Agent 8 is splatted, though these similarities may be coincidental. However, it is worth noting that Jordan Amaro, one of the designers for Octo Expansion, has previously worked on ''Metal Gear Solid V'' and stated he placed an homage to the series on his Twitter account, as well as his name in the credits bearing strong resemblance to the font used for the original ''Metal Gear Solid'' logo.
