Metallic Gear Stable V: The Phantom Ache was Hideo Kojima’s closing Metallic Gear Stable recreation, and it was an odd one. Regardless of having among the finest 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.
However MGS5’s most surprising change was the choice to switch David Hayter, Stable Snake’s English voice actor since Metallic Gear Stable’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 Ache. Kojima’s resolution to cross 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 came about.
However perhaps it’s time to show a brand new web page? In a recent post on Twitter (at present often known as “X”), Hayter reviews that he lastly performed the 2015 Metallic Gear recreation that didn’t embody 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” (perhaps a not-so-subtle reference to the “you’re fairly good” line featured in numerous Metallic Gear titles?) after noting that the “Laryngitic Snake” didn’t resonate as nicely. Proper there with ya, Hayter.
Hayter has been identified to submit varied Metallic 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 “Previous Snake” reference.
David Hayter has lately appeared in ads for the kinda-not-so-great Metallic Gear Stable Grasp Assortment. His “that is solely the start” line in stated advert has definitely left followers questioning what else is across the nook within the Metallic Gear universe.
