He doesn’t actually insult anyone in the podcast. He just talks about his disappointment, humiliation and how he never had a close relationship with Kojima but he respects the man. There were no real fighting words and no real venom that this article is trying to trick people into thinking.

Just because they do it doesn’t mean they did it the right way. It’s common courtesy to at least contact the person being replaced and telling him he’s being replaced.

The series ended at 3 for me.

Did we play the same MGS5 game because there was no emotion in Sutherland’s voice. In fact, all I envisioned when he talked was the grimace face he always made in 24 as though he doesn’t want to be bothered.

But they kept the same Japanese voice actor.

But then you realize Akio Otsuka, the Japanese voice actor for Snake played every single Big Boss/Snake except for old MGS4 Big Boss.

MGS3 was the first game that had a voice for Big Boss. There were only three voice actors who did Big Boss and Hayter did the majority of them.

I’d like you not to be salty after enduring the 500th “why were you not in the game” or “how do you feel not being in the game” questions. Further that saltiness knowing Kiefer probably only had like 10 minutes of dialogue in MGS5.

I would have been fine even without MGS4.

I remember that time when Kojima was like, “Yeah, I don’t want to make anymore MGS after 4.” At least now he doesn’t have to.

He didn’t help? I remember when MGS4 came out, he basically busted his ass going out there with Kojima promoted the game. He goes out of his way to do live action MGS skits for game award shows and you can clearly see he loves doing the voice of Solid Snake/Big Boss. The simple fact is, David is as big of a part in…

But then you realize that (SPOILERS)...

But then he goes on to use Hayter as Big Boss in ALL the portable handheld games and visual graphic novels. For someone that didn’t want Hayter from the get go he really milked Hayter for all he was worth. Yeah, string him along until you find the big name actor you have wet dreams about. Is it hard to think that…

The fact that there were subsequent handheld games with Hayter as Big Boss also it just boggles the mind to replace him at all.

Yeah, sure, I can believe Sutherland being the fake Snake (it’s hard to mimic voices I guess) but then why wasn’t the real Snake voiced by Hayter? I just can’t believe Big Boss/Snake’s voice can change so dramatically from MGS3 to MGS5.

I don’t know about that, some could say the character came alive when Hayter took helm of the voice. There wouldn’t be such a backlash with MGSV if Snake’s voice actor wasn’t so beloved.

I remember watching a live stream of Stefanie Joosten (the model for Quiet) playing MGSV and she got to the part where she basically saw Quiet in the game. I find it funny that everyone is disgusted by the overly sexualization of Quiet yet Stefanie talked about how she loved everything about the character. Maybe it’s…

I wish they’d make more alternative non-main story movies. Nothing I’d love to see more than Thomas Wayne as Batman or Martha as the Joker.

An actual movie? I doubt it though.

Aggressive seems to also mean garbage.
