Metallic Gear Stable V: The Phantom Ache was Hideo Kojima’s ultimate Metallic Gear Stable sport, and it was an odd one. Regardless of having a few of the greatest sneaking motion and gunplay, the open world and “missions” construction didn’t essentially converse to followers of the extra linear, tightly scripted really feel of the earlier video games.
However MGS5’s most sudden 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 choice is even stranger contemplating that Snake doesn’t converse an entire lot in The Phantom Ache. Kojima’s choice to cross on Hayter for the half amounted to a little bit of 2010s online game drama, because it appears Hayter was largely left in the dead of night as to why the casting change occurred.
However possibly it’s time to show a brand new web page? In a recent post on Twitter (at present often known as “X”), Hayter experiences that he lastly performed the 2015 Metallic Gear sport 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 “sport’s fairly enjoyable” (possibly a not-so-subtle reference to the “you’re fairly good” line featured in a lot of Metallic Gear titles?) after noting that the “Laryngitic Snake” didn’t resonate as properly. Proper there with ya, Hayter.
Hayter has been recognized to publish varied Metallic Gear- and different video game-related jokes, together with one about simply how lengthy it’s been for the reason that final fundamental GTA sport got here out—that one garnered an MGS4 “Outdated Snake” reference.
David Hayter has not too long ago appeared in ads for the kinda-not-so-great Metallic Gear Stable Grasp Assortment. His “that is solely the start” line in mentioned advert has actually left followers questioning what else is across the nook within the Metallic Gear universe.
