Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
I'm happy for David, Kojima did him dirty by pushing him out for nonsense Hollywood "talent." MGS became more successful because of the excellent translation work and Hayter's performance.
I also feel for Kojima to a degree anyway. He wanted to end MGS and Konami kept forcing him to bring it back. Konami thought their IP was more important than their talent, and I don't have huge hopes for anything they do with MGS going forward (just look at the issues with the Master Collection).

I'm sorry if nostalgia got the better of you but Sunderland is a much better actor than Hayter, so hopefully they don't.

Didn't kojima did that more than once? And V was the last straw?
About the news I'm happy, metal gear solid was the first game that I really started to follow voice actors and care about the cinematography side of video games, Hayter voice is special I meet him twice in comic con and is a really nice guy

I'd be down for that.
I don't think Kiefer did a bad job, there was just so little snake dialog anyway that the change was pointless, would be cool to have a full series continuity

I 100% agree with this. Hayter in Peace Walker was a fucking parody voice of Snake. Hayter got worse as the series progressed. He would have ruined MGS:V.

This is the best thing about the MGS Collection.

Yeah, spot on, and considering this is Gaf you would expect very few to fall in that hole, but seeing the discussion continued around that out of context idea looks like there was very few of us that actually completed the game to see the full story, here on Gaf.

Ironically you’re right
maybe just have David Hayter voiceover that ONE tape by the real Big Boss, I think that would be a better reveal of the truth.

I honestly think that the people at Konami don't really think about Kojima at all anymore. They brought back Hayter because they knew it would make for a cool marketing opportunity.

Yes and no. In Ground Zeroes, which was very dark and BB wasn't a mute I felt Kiefer's performance to be fitting. But in PP it seems they ran out of budget or something, Kiefer barely speaks and what he speaks he kinda phones in.
In hindsight PP is stupid, with the vocal cord parasites and Skull Face going full comedy so Hayter would be a good fit there.

Did not know that. Fair play to him tho, am sure there's many who wouldn't as it would be 'beneath' them.
Truth be told all his MGS money would be gone anyways. Imagine if he got like 80k for MGS4 - that was 15 years ago.

In my opinion it never made any sense. Because if so, liquid and solidus would have also needed hayter's voice. I really think we had his voice as big boss in mgs3 because people was angry enough with mgs2, and they wanted snake back. Big boss is also voiced by someone else in 4

They should have him record the lines when they inevitably release a free to watch metal gear game like silent hill ascension.
