Metal Gear Solid V

[Epidemik]

While Metal Gear fans are excited this week with Metal Gear Solid V announced, many are displeased that Naked Snake/Big Boss will not be played by the character's longtime voice actor David Hayter, who wasn't even contacted about the project.

Upon watching the gameplay footage shown at the 2013 Game Developers Conference, it is clearly audible it is a different person other than Hayter voicing Snake. Hideo Kojima explained his decision to choose a new actor in an interview with GameTrailers' Geoff Keighley. "I can say, yes, it will be a new person. I can't say who it is yet. What we're trying to accomplish here is 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."

That doesn't sound promising for Hayter, as Kojima implies that this new voice actor will become the new voice of the Snake characters from here on out. A recent rumor speculates that 24's Kiefer Sutherland may not only be voicing a new supporting character, Ishmael, but Big Boss as well.

Let us know what you think about Kojima's casting decision in the comments below and keep checking back to PSU for the latest news on Metal Gear.

No new trailer, I guess. Damn you GameSpot.

If they wanted to move on from Hayter, could have done worse than Kiefer.

I like Keifer as much as the next guy, but fucking find a new story Kojima. I don't care if you've retconned this into the series...it was getting tired (IMO) with MGS4...DO SOMETHING NEW.

I am really beginning to think that you might be retarded. Wanting Kojima to do something NEW AND ORIGINAL is a BAD THING!?

new story

fuck that shit I want more snake missions. The only way to do that is go to the past. In a way this is probably going to stray away from the patriots and be focused more on the progression of a green snake into the SNAKE we know and love

As long as he can continue to deliver a strong story about sneaking and espionage with a legendary character everyone loves in a deep universe why not continue. You may of thought MGS IV was tired and boring, but for a lot it was a masterpiece 31 years in the making.

But that's my point. It's a new story in a contrived way. Maybe it will be fantastic. I hope that it is (like Metal Gear Rising was)...I just feel like 4 was already almost one too many times back to the Snake well. Again, just my opinion, I just don't know what other interesting stories there could possibly be to tell.

Yes, I may have thought, which is exactly what I said? I am glad it was a masterpiece for a lot of people. I still don't understand why you wouldn't want the guy that built that masterpiece to start building something new, as opposed to finding ways to slap on new stuff to his old work?

It take's a lot to construct a new universe and characters, even more to pitch that idea to a company, get complete control of its direction AND get people to ultimately buy into that new series.

that's a shit load of work to do when you already have a rich universe that you can still explore. (btw, just in case your thinking it, this is not like the cod or battlefield series because each MGS game has an intricate story along with a bevy of improvements, of which I'm sure hideo spends years tweaking.)
