In Kojima Station episode 6, the studio's official podcast, Kojima Productions staff members gave some insight into the casting process for Metal Gear Solid V in response to a question sent in by a fan about why they cast Troy Baker to play Ocelot (who was previously voiced by Patric Zimmerman and Josh Keaton). Assistant producer Sean Eyestone responded to this question.
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
Because he is in everything:P
He is a great voice actor, but my guess is that all the changes in MGS are because they surely wanted to "westernize" the game to appeal to a "wider market".
If only Japanese developers realized that the West market want Japanese games, not Western games made by Japanese debs.
While I think Troy is a great voice actor I'm still not convinced by all the voice actor changes. They wanted Ocelot to sound older compared to MGS3? That game came out 10 years ago and I'm sure that the voice actor aged since that time.
I agree with Colonel on the reason for the voice actor changes. Outside of the MGS fanbase Hayter and co. are by far less known than Kiefer and Troy.
I always have and always will play Metal Gear Solid games in Japanese.
Because Kojima wants to intentionally kills the series so he can finally retire. I definitely won't be buying casual gear solid 5 featuring a washed up VA.
