David Hayter Asks How Fans Would Feel if He Wasn't Snake

David Hayter's 15 year role of voicing Snake from the Metal Gear series may be over. A revealing tweet says it all.

it'll suck...like when actors get replaced in movies.

knowyourstuff4061d ago

It's simple - David Hayter asked for way more money, and is leveraging the fans to get him more money. Don't people get it? There's a reason he's tagging Kojima and Konami Productions. He wants them to know that without him their game won't sell, and will piss tons of fans off. He's right, the reaction by and large has been terrible.

Diver4061d ago

I am a huge Metal Gear fan but I actually prefer Richard Doyle's version of Big Boss. It was master work in MGS4.

MysticStrummer4061d ago

@knowyourstuff - That was my first thought. Contract negotiation.

InactiveUser4061d ago (Edited 4061d ago )

Sounds like he's trying to get paid $$$$$. See @HIDEO and Konami, they love me, pay me big $$$ or your next MGS will flop.

I see knowyourstuff beat me to the obvious.

Would I like the same person to voice Snake.. yes. But if there's someone that sounds the same, I'm sure he could be replaced if he's holding the game hostage for a unreasonable pay day.

Here's one from a 2 second YouTube search:

I'm playing MGS2HD VR missions at the moment btw.

That's like having Kratos give out lolipops instead of death wishes. No thanks.

Abdou234061d ago

If he stops being snake then they should kill snake.

Nyxus4061d ago

I don't think it means anything, as it says 'informal poll'. I think GZ will be voiced by Hayter, unless they want to use Richard Doyle (which would be interesting too).

kostchtchie_4061d ago

i would have to rip that voice box out, cant have you voicing / playing anything else if you don't do snake :P

DigitalSmoke4061d ago

I can do Snake.
Relax, i got this.

Aleithian4061d ago

It would be unfortunate if he didn't continue. But if he does stop, it feels right that it be after MGS4. With the send off for Solid Snake in that game, now would be the best time to say goodbye to that era, if at all.

7 Lesser Known Metal Gear Solid Games

Metal Gear Solid is a hugely popular series, but not every game has achieved true notoriety. Here are 7 lesser known Metal Gear Solid games.

Konami Is Making a Comeback, but What About Metal Gear?

Now is a good time for those who shy from broad daylight. Silent Hill is coming back, with its concrete-coloured fogs. Fans might get a new Castlevania, with interest in the series sharpening like a thirst, thanks to the Dead Cells crossover DLC. A trademark has also been registered for something called “Project Zircon” – the zircon being a collectible item in numerous Castlevania games, most notably in Symphony of the Night. The begetter of both series – and thus the celebrated bringer of gloom – is Konami, which, like a recumbent Dracula, is gradually returning to health.

But there is one more cherished Konami son, of whom we are yet to hear anything solid. Where is Snake? And what should we reasonably hunger for, as fans of Metal Gear?

That's what I want to know. Konami did say that the series will still be supported: https://www.metalgearinform...

This was in 2016 mind you. Still nothing. They also removed some of the games from digital storefronts and despite promises that this was only temporary and they will return soon, so far it hasn't happend.

cammers1995395d ago

Konami stated after the collapse and cancellation of silent hills they would support the series and it went on that long hiatus. Hopefully they’ll bring back other stuff soon.

Nyxus395d ago

Yeah I hope the revival of the Silent Hill series means Konami is going to bring back some of their other franchises as well.

MGS without Kojima is not MGS

Nyxus395d ago

Perhaps but they could at least rerelease the old games on new platforms. They haven't released them since the HD Collection on PS3 / 360.

mastershredder395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

You mean without his very large staff that make 95% of the game for him to overlay in the credits (SEVERAL TIMES): “all made be me! Hideo Kojima! because the game is actually about me!

They don’t need Kojima's ego, drama or misappropriation of company funds. Be glad that they have moved on, and Kojima can align himself in new holes to dig himself out of with MS (and of course, take no accountability for).

MG and MGS never belonged to Kojima and THAT is a nice little sting he’s always and justifiably going to feel. Good riddance.

Outside_ofthe_Box395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

I will never understand Kojima haters. Yeah he doesn't code the game but he's providing the overall gameplay direction and story. Every MGS game he released introduced something innovative in the stealth department. That won't be the case in any future MGS entry.

Just remaster the old games, without Kojima it's not Metal Gear

Flawlessmic395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

Mgs is coming guys, there's been to many rumours of a ps exclusive for there not to be smoke.

The remake will be exclusive and hopefully we get 4k set for all the other games.
