Is this all an elaborate April Fools prank? Or will David Hayter truly not be reprising his role as Snake in Metal Gear Solid V?
Recently, David Hayter announced the unthinkable- after 15+ years of voicing one of gaming's most iconic heroes, he would be replaced as the voice of Snake for Metal Gear Solid V. Ever since the announcement, I've personally felt that this may all be another elaborate ruse by Hideo Kojima - he's very well known for his pranks and red herrings, as proven by the recent The Phantom Pain/ Moby Dick Studios fiasco. I've been pondering for some time as to whether Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes (now revealed to be a part of Metal Gear Solid V) would lead into a Metal Gear remake- with both Solid Snake and Big Boss taking center stage.
Whether it's showcasing damage realistically or simulating fractures and conditions, these games are worth checking out.
The Metal Gear series has sold 60.2 million copies, as of September 2023.
Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.
...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is another rollercoaster of a game in the Metal Gear Solid series. Here's what to expect and why you need to experience it.
Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…
I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that
The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.
Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.
Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.
The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.
The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.
The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.
MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
" No reason, or explanation was given beyond that. And that was it.” 15 years and 9 games, no explanation would be a true lack of respect and class. I hardly believe that is how
Hideo Kojima would end his MGS relationship with Hayter. It has to be a prank.
If he comes back and says "Kept you waiting huh?" I'll quit....no I'll cry YAY!
Mark my words, this is just a lame April Fool's joke. I don't know why they're even wasting our time, its not funny.
No I don't believe it is a prank, hope it is though.
No. I don't think he'll be in MGS V. But he will be in MGS VI.
