EP Daily’s old pal David Hayter has given us an exclusive interview about his absence from Metal Gear Solid V.
Popular Japanese manufacturer Nissin Foods, known for its Cup Noodles, brought back a Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain meme.

With a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 on the horizon, game developers have a chance to tie in one of the series' biggest narrative reveals.
Just remake the game, don't add anything I don't trust Konami to change anything and pull it off properly at the same time.
So no thanks :>
God no, the studio in charge of this has made 2 games so far both of which were awful. I dont want these people to be rewriting anything. Just give us better visuals/controls and thats it.
Giant snakes hiding in caves, this was the scariest part of the game, think I’ll pass on this one bc I can’t take that jump scare again l. 100 serious
Not a good idea, and here's why:
- This is a medium budget remake, its going to be as close to 1:1 as possible from the PS2 game. This isn't a re-imagining like FF7 or RE 2 / 3 / 4. This is cheap-ass Konami, not actually willing to add much budget to their games, but only willing to go so far as to profit off nostalgia and not much more.
- The game is using the PS2-era voice acting, so adding new dialog or lore would feel out of place with the old recordings from 2003 - 2004.
- Changing the cut-scenes and the lore by adding new characters who don't belong in the background is absurd.
- This doesn't even make sense for a forward-progressing linear game. Only a few locations do you return to, you're not going to see the clean-up crew for most of the game anyway.
- Its a bad idea, the clean-up crew most likely arrived AFTER the mission was complete (and Snake flew away on the MIG), they're not actually tailing Snake throughout the entire freakin' mission. That's just a stupid concept all around.

300,000 Metal Gear games were sold during the first quarter of 2023, Konami has announced, bringing the total number to 59.8 million.
I know re-makes and stuff have been played to death this generation.
But damn I wouldn't mind an MGS4 remake
I thought the series would have sold more over all these years and different releases.
Some of the best fun you can have online was the first metal gear online and to a lesser, but still fun to an extent, MGO2. The magazine, CQC, stealth, and tactical play Vs real players is just a blast. Not to mention playing Snake vs everyone? Amazing. The game will never be the same without Hideo, but Konami can definitely update what’s already there and take my money.
David will always be Snake for a great amount of people that knows Metal Gear Solid frachise since MGS1. I don't know what kojima is up to, but David is already been missed right now as Snaker's voice. He IS Snake, if I can say that way. I hope for a surprise.
So, anyone still think it's a prank?
i hope Kojima gets to make a remake of the saga, and then including hayter on it,
will be weird, to play as Naked Snake without Hayter.
They can't do this. Konami and Kojima are gonna have to cave, because like he said, this franchise is 15 years old. It's not like Infamous that was only 1 game
You can't just change the voice actor of a character 15 years after we've gotten used to it :/
Mainstream games journalism and advertisement = Dubstep and super-exaggerated reporting accents.
But yeah I just hope Kojima hasn't kicked out David for the actor in the upcoming film. Seriously, minus respect for that if it's the case. That film is almost definitely going to suck unless it's really experimental and wacky like the original game, which it definitely won't be. I don't know why Kojima just doesn't direct it himself...
Also I think it's safe to say this isn't a prank. I don't know how you could expect anyone to find this funny.
