Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was Hideo Kojima’s ultimate Metal Gear Solid recreation, and it was an odd one. Despite having among the greatest sneaking motion and gunplay, the open world and “missions” construction didn’t essentially communicate to followers of the extra linear, tightly scripted really feel of the earlier video games.
But MGS5’s most surprising change was the choice to interchange David Hayter, Solid Snake’s English voice actor since Metal Gear Solid’s launch in 1998, with film star Keifer Sutherland. And, as many followers rightly level out, the casting resolution is even stranger contemplating that Snake doesn’t communicate an entire lot in The Phantom Pain. Kojima’s resolution to go on Hayter for the half amounted to a little bit of 2010s online game drama, because it appears Hayter was largely left at the hours of darkness as to why the casting change passed off.
But possibly it’s time to show a brand new web page? In a current put up on Twitter (at present often known as “X”), Hayter stories that he lastly performed the 2015 Metal Gear recreation that didn’t embrace him. Not solely that, he appears to have loved it.
After saying he “put it off for years”, he confessed that the “recreation’s fairly enjoyable” (possibly a not-so-subtle reference to the “you’re fairly good” line featured in quite a few Metal Gear titles?) after noting that the “Laryngitic Snake” didn’t resonate as properly. Right there with ya, Hayter.
Hayter has been recognized to put up numerous Metal Gear- and different video game-related jokes, together with one about simply how lengthy it’s been because the final principal GTA recreation got here out—that one garnered an MGS4 “Old Snake” reference.
David Hayter has just lately appeared in commercials for the kinda-not-so-great Metal Gear Solid Master Collection. His “that is solely the start” line in mentioned advert has definitely left followers questioning what else is across the nook within the Metal Gear universe.
