Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Will Retain Original Voice Cast

Konami's remake of the seminal classic, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, will retain its original voice cast for its characters.

So we're not 100% sure if it'll just be using old voice lines, or if VA's are reprising roles for updated audio. Either way, it'll be great having David back for Snake! I honestly thought Keifer did a good job, but it just wasn't the same without the original. I can't wait to see that last fight in modern graphics. It's still one of the most beautiful things I've seen in gaming.

It is said that they will all be reprising their roles because there was an article about 2+ years ago stating that the original MGS voice cast was ''working on an unknown project''

That’s good, means we have around 2 years of dev time already committed.

Thank you… honestly it was my biggest fear for the game.

Then you have more faith in Konami than I do. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to hear that they're keeping the voices, but there's so many other ways they could potentially ruin this remake. Hopefully more information about the project gets released in the upcoming days and weeks. Right now it's kinda hard to know what to expect.

[PhillyDillyDee]

Lol i never said i had faith. But this is good news either way

[Nebaku]

Even IF they have a good team doing it, they should have remade 1 or 2 first.

The fact they are jumping straight to the most "acclaimed" one in 3, reeks of desperation to try and get fans back on their good side.

[I_am_Batman]

I'm just saying out of all the things that could potentially go wrong with this project, a change of VAs wouldn't top the charts for me. But yeah it is good news. Let's hope this trend continues.

[PhillyDillyDee]

Thats fair. Honestly all i really wanted was david hayter

If only we can get Metal Gear Solid 4

The mgs collection had a "vol 1" title to it. Likely meaning vol 2 will consist of 4+5+peacewalker.

[Sonic1881]

I thought part 4 was difficult to remaster because of the PS3 Cell processor? They should actually remake that game in the future

[Infamous298]

I think Vol 2 will likely include portable ops, peace walker and mgs4.

[sadraiden]

What about Metal Gear Solid 1? Why are they remaking 3?

[Terry_B]

Because it is the most popular and probably also the best game of the series.

[MaxiPower90]

It's arguably the best in the series but more notable is that it is the origin story of Snake and thus the easiest to market to a new generation hence why they cut the number from the title. And as 3 was a more ambitious game than say the 2d or mgs(ps1) onwards then it sets a standard of quality that should be aimed to be achieved in future remakes.

Personally, I would have preferred a reboot rather than these high-quality remakes.

Now the series is finished they can actually tell a story from start to end without reconning every few games

[GoodGuy09]

Holy $hit. Good job Konami. Maybe it really was because of only Kojima that wanted a different VA.
