Steel Gear Stable V: The Phantom Ache was Hideo Kojima’s remaining Steel Gear Stable recreation, and it was an odd one. Regardless of having a number of the greatest sneaking motion and gunplay, the open world and “missions” construction didn’t essentially converse to followers of the extra linear, tightly scripted really feel of the earlier video games.
However MGS5’s most sudden change was the choice to exchange David Hayter, Stable Snake’s English voice actor since Steel Gear Stable’s launch in 1998, with film star Keifer Sutherland. And, as many followers rightly level out, the casting resolution is even stranger contemplating that Snake doesn’t converse an entire lot in The Phantom Ache. Kojima’s resolution to move on Hayter for the half amounted to a little bit of 2010s online game drama, because it appears Hayter was largely left at midnight as to why the casting change passed off.
However perhaps it’s time to show a brand new web page? In a recent post on Twitter (at present often called “X”), Hayter experiences that he lastly performed the 2015 Steel Gear recreation that didn’t embody him. Not solely that, he appears to have loved it.
After saying he “put it off for years”, he confessed that the “recreation’s fairly enjoyable” (perhaps a not-so-subtle reference to the “you’re fairly good” line featured in plenty of Steel Gear titles?) after noting that the “Laryngitic Snake” didn’t resonate as properly. Proper there with ya, Hayter.
Hayter has been identified to submit numerous Steel Gear- and different video game-related jokes, together with one about simply how lengthy it’s been for the reason that final foremost GTA recreation got here out—that one garnered an MGS4 “Previous Snake” reference.
David Hayter has not too long ago appeared in ads for the kinda-not-so-great Steel Gear Stable Grasp Assortment. His “that is solely the start” line in mentioned advert has definitely left followers questioning what else is across the nook within the Steel Gear universe.
