Junkie Monkeys: David Hayter has been the voice of a couple of "Snakes" for well over a decade and for some strange reason no one from Kojima Productions has approached Mr. Hayter to reprise the role of Naked Snake. While many doubt Mr. Hayter's return, there is still a chance that he could be approached in the future.
Yuji Shimomura joins Kojima Productions for another round.
Gee, I wonder if there were any contemporaneous issues internally while the game was being made?
Nah, couldn't be. Game was released exactly as intended.
MGS ended with 4 for me. I want Hideo Kojima to get the Snatcher IP from Konami so there can be a remastered release and a sequel.

Unless if you want to count Revengeance, which I started a new playthrough of recently, and damn is it still fun.
Yeah it was, he didn't want to keep making MGS and it showed. Even if he was given the time by konami to finish it, what was there was already so weak that it's hard to see what could've salvaged it. The gameplay was quality no doubt. I still cringe at the characters and story though and the jeep scene.
The Nerd Stash: Kojima Productions as a whole is nothing without Hideo Kojima himself and the backing of either Xbox or PlayStation.
Lets be honest Kojima is a Playstation man through and through and his effort on the MS project will be minimal, experimental and lip service at best. Once DS2 is complete he will focus almost all of his efforts on this new Stealth IP for Playstation, thinking anything else is just denial.
What I noticed was that Kojima’s spiritual Metal Gear new IP having game and movie integration/overlap/continuati on (in some way) sounds very much like the vision he revealed at the Game Awards regarding his partnership with Xbox.
Some chump was recommending he sell his business to PlayStation - why would he do that? He has his own company, it’s making big money, he’s partnered with the biggest names to create his dream projects. Hideo Kojima is winning.
So you think he's gonna intentionally blemish his reputation with a bad game... Because console wars? That's crazy.
I think O.D is a Spiritual Silent Hill and Physint is a spiritual Metal Gear.
Yep, Microsofts move to pay Kojima for his canceled Google project was a desperate play for relevancy. Just like them paying Sega for Persona, a genre game xbox fans largely aren't interested in just to say that they have quirky Japanese games on their platform to, same with
square and it's Mana game. Of course Kojima will focus on the project that will get the most attention from from the gaming public and make the most money.
so how should they try and have japanese made games on their platform then? Also was sony just desperate then that they threw 3.6 billion at bungie just so they can say they have live service games or does it only work one way?
Xbox never had as many japanese games as Sony/Ninty but they always had a couple of (good) japanese games on their platform, nothing wrong with having a amazing game like Persona 5 on your platform, I don't see how you can even give such a bad take about having persona be available to more players, astonishing.
MS provides the tech and funds for the OD project and you think he'll just ignore that game? You really think MS would allow that? Every person that thinks straight knows that, that's not how it works. That N4G logic in on another world of nonsensical stupidity.
They didn’t actually say stealth
They said espionage.
This is better for me I don’t have the nerves for stealth but a James Bond esque game with a bit of puzzle solving/ detective work and minimal stealth, would be great!
We all know Kojima likes his freedom and we know what console developers get the most freedom🤷🏿 only an orchard full of moldy brains would think otherwise.

i took that as him saying there will be no difference from gameplay to cutscenes. Equal amount game and movie. Something he wanted to achieve with MGS but with PS6 tech he will have that. I am sure sony will discuss PS6's specs with him so he can provide his feedback and know what he is working with
Workshyskiver
even he said his partnership with sony goes back 3 decades so yes i am sure he is a playstation guy through and through but i don't think he will short change xbox
Neutral you're not wrong. There is absolutely no reason for Kojima not to do his best with od its got his name associated with it. It's not like Kojima to half a$$ anything.
What I meant is the scope and effort put in to the project. I'll be shocked if OD is as big in scope as DS, DS2 or his new game.
Hideo is more like a cracked Whiffle ball bat. Roulette? No, he’s more likely to stub a toe in the shallow end of the pool and cry. I love how he’s a superficial champion because people liked and fan for his games, shallow minded as f. You need to seriously crack the curtain open.
Kojima Productions is nothing without its misplaced and very skilled staff (what you think Hideo came up//made/designed all this himself? are you nutz?). Hideo is 100% NOT a business man (As evidenced with his behavior and dealings with Konami’s funds and his own studio (eh…yeah that bridge is sooo krispy and still smoking).
Elitism, drama and ego have no place in gaming and it’s a constant theme with KP. Don’t give a f what their new game is about, and Hideo did that himself. Go suck an 1000 year old egg Hideo. We’ll expect to see your studio did for you on sale few months after release and free within a year. I’d love to see his staff go-western (since he likes to) and grow a pair and leave him flat on his ass).
These days Hideo comes off worse than an annoying influencer desperate for clicks. More news about his studio BS or the ‘innovation and special magic’ they infusing into a game rather than giving news on the actual game, and then we get shi7 like death stranding….

Kojima Productions and Xbox Game Studios forthcoming game OD files some strange patents, echoing Death Stranding's own strand system on PS5.
No both the headline and the article are totally false. There is no file for a "patent" just the trademark, which the article hosts hyperlinks to but seems to deliberately misquote.
>_>
Yeees...
Even if this isn't a Kojima April Fools' Day setup & someone else does voice Snake, he will definitely be back by the next Metal Gear (the one after MGS5).
Wait, wasn't there already stories on here recently about David Hayter wanting to take a break from MGS games? I'm sure that was reported.
I doubt it. It's getting close to mgs in the time line and they have always had him with a deferent voice past the fall of outer heaven. Plus since in the gameplay footage ismael is voiced by keifer Sutherland I think the voice work is pretty far along.
I hope that Richard Doyle will instead voice Big Boss this time in MGSV.
While I hope it will be Hayter or Doyle to voice BB, It's clearly not either of them, He actually sounds younger.. Also the Japanese voice actor is still reprising his role.. So why can't David?
Also the "Big Boss" we see coming out of the coma has gone gray but the one at the end with the horn still has his brown hair, he either dyed it or they aren't the same person.. (Long shot as they both have fake arms..) however the fact he sounds younger could put a bit of a favour in this thoery..
