Kojima explains why Hayter is not in Metal Gear Solid 5

Quote :

Wednesday we learned that David Hayter, longtime voice actor for Solid Snake and Big Boss, will not be back for Metal Gear Solid 5. GameTrailers asked Hideo Kojima how that could be, and he gave them an answer. “It will be a new person, I can’t say who yet. What we’re trying to accomplish is to recreate the Metal Gear series. It’s a new type of Metal Gear game, and we want to have this reflected in the voice actor as well.”

im not sure what kojima is pulling but it better be good.

The guy who voices Cole train should voice snake :yey:

Bullshit, Akio Otsuka is back voicing the Jap version, how is that re-creating the series? Well, I'll probably rent it, no fucking way am I buying it, as petty as that sounds. Fuck Kojima.

METAL GEAR V

By

David Hayter

So,

Here’s a recap of events:

I have been up in Toronto, for the past eight months, directing my first film, (WOLVES -- 2013, TF1/COPPERHEART). On the December break, I came home to Los Angeles for the holidays. I heard then, that recording sessions for MG:V were being put together.

But I didn’t hear anything about whether I’d be needed or not.

So, I got in touch with someone involved in the production. We got together for lunch, and he told me that they "wouldn’t be needing me" on this game. No reason, or explanation was given beyond that.

And that was it.

I drove home through Laurel Canyon, bummed, and thinking about Snake.

To be clear, I love being a part of the world of Metal Gear. I admire its technological innovations, the gameplay, the political message of it all. But primarily, I love the fans of these games. Two grown men burst into tears upon meeting me at the Vancouver Fan Expo last year.

Now that... Is a rare and excellent role. You know you’re making an impact.

And I love doing it.

In 1998, I tried to do come up with a voice which epitomized the kind of worn, put-upon, genetically-engineered clone-soldier that I saw Snake to be. Over time, as the games became more stunning and visually sophisticated, I tried to transition that initial voice into the increasingly real environments in which Snake found himself. My level of success is up to you, but any perceived deficiencies were not for lack of hard work. I have dedicated a huge amount of time and effort into creating a compelling character, capable of expressing the myriad emotional, physical and psychological hurdles that Snake has to face.

Anyway, now it’s been fifteen years, nine games, and an enormous blast to undertake.

If it were my choice, I would do this role forever. To hear anyone else’s voice coming from Snake’s battered throat, makes me a little ill, to be honest.

But the truth is -- it’s not my choice. Any and all casting decisions are the sole purview of Hideo Kojima, and Konami itself. And that’s fair.

And I’ll get by. I am not lacking for employment on any level.

But I didn’t want anybody to think that I was intentionally abandoning them.

And know that I will miss this job, and this character, very much.

My best wishes to you all,


David Hayter

Could this be some inside troll between Kojima and Hayter? Why the fuck would he put the date down the end?


He mentions here that it's "no joke" https://twitter.com/DavidBHayter but also mentions he's doing an interview on it? With who? It better be a some insane marketing stunt on either his movie, Wolves or MGSV or else I'm out for good.

i really hope so too, stoney.

No David Hayter = rent or borrow from muh cousin

Aannnnnd that's me out.

I literally feel sick over this, Keifer Sutherland just makes it worst.

I'll probably buy it pre owned. I remender David Hayter cut his voice acting salary/cost in half for that GameCube remake so that they could hire the original MGS1 voice actors, great guy that absolutely loves the characters and the games, highly disappointed. I've also been spending fucking weeks asking around on comic forums for a MOTHERFUCKING COMIC.BOOK SIMILAR TO MUH GODDAMNED METAL GEAR SOLID!!!
