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.
...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.
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.
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.
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.
