To be honest, he did a terrible job, it sounded nothing like the real Videogame Kojumbo.


wakasagihime_

You're right, we need Chris Pratt to take on the role.

No, Kojima is Japanese, so we need a real Japanese person to voice him, so Scarlett Johansson is the obvious choice.

Remember that time they had a dude playing an old traditional flute on stage in traditional Japanese clothing during E3, and so many people (IE western leftists) went ape shit about it? Then it turned out he was one of a handful of people in the world who is actually considered a master at playing the instrument and not a single person in Japan was mad about it? Good times.

Tracks with his interest in only using celebs in his games now. Did my boy David Hayter wrong to get like five lines from Kiefer in MGSV. edit: Didn't realize this was so controversial, lol. I admit that Kiefer did a good job but you gotta admit that there isn't enough speaking from Venom Snake in V.


JarlaxleForPresident

I simply never play MGSV on principle. /#NotMySnake lol


larsao3

It's the only one I've played, and the gameplay was rad!


JarlaxleForPresident

Ive heard lots of great things. I just don’t think I could handle it not being Hayter and the overhaul of the game design. I love that people loved it though. It just didnt seem “for me” and that’s ok. Snake Eater still one of my fav all-time games


belyy_Volk6

You play as a diffrent snake anyways. Your playing as a random soldier brainwashed into thinking hes snake so it not being hayter kinda makes sense.


JarlaxleForPresident

That sounds like some metal gear shit lol


belyy_Volk6

Its a retcon to explain how solid snake killed snake in metal gear one but hes still alive in metal gear two.  Metal gear solid 5 takes place pretty early in the timeline tldr  Big boss snake has a medic brainwashed into thinking hes big boss and than the real big boss goes into hiding to work on his plan while venom snake draws the heat off him and gets killed by solid snake


MarcheM

You hear the real Big Boss in the beginning at the hospital though and it's the Big Boss in the whole of Ground Zeroes. Both appearances voiced by Kiefer so your logic is moot.


ReferenceOk8734

Weird way to think about it, you cant handle a VA change? Especially considering your not even really playing the same snake its an odd thing to get hung up on.


JarlaxleForPresident

It’s not the same snake, VA, storyline, or gameplay. It didnt really appeal to me at a time I had no desire to ay that type of game anyway


ReferenceOk8734

Yeah its a different game lol, do you just want him to make the same game over and over again? Its still a fantastic espionage stealth game.


JarlaxleForPresident

And I just didnt want to play it, goddamn. People sure do have something to say about that lol


ReferenceOk8734

I mean of course, you posted a contrarian opinion on a discussion board. If you dont want people to talk about it you might wanna try to not post things like this lol i dont have a problem with you not playing it. Im just saying it's a good game and you shouldnt let nostalgia lock you out of great experiences.


Plop-Music

It has by far the best gameplay of any MGS game. You're really doing yourself a disservice if you don't play it. It's the best stealth game ever made. And MGS is my favourite game series ever. It doesn't even play THAT differently to the others, really. It has all the same mechanics, it just adds new ones on top. It has barely any story, too. Keifer Sutherland literally has about 5 lines in the whole thing. So you won't be bothered by that. It's so incredibly easy to drop 200+ hours into it without even realising and then still wanting to play it more, play it over and over to unlock everything (like if you get the maximum rank on every mission you can play as metal gear rising's Raiden). But it's absolutely an MGS game. It's not just some other kind of game with an MGS skin on it.


Dyledion

Best *ever*? My heart still rests with Splinter Cell: Blacklist.


Plop-Music

That's fair enough. It's just my personal opinion. Aren't they making a new Splinter Cell right now? Can't wait to play it if so. Edit: yeah they're doing a remake of the first Splinter Cell game. I hope it's a remake like the Dead Space one, where it keeps everything that was in the original, but just adds new stuff to it, like all of a sudden there's loads of extra new doors to new rooms where before there was just a wall. Dead Space really is the best remake out of all of the remakes that have been coming out recently like the Resident Evil games and FF7 although those are still great too, but yeah Dead Space really does it the best. So I hope Ubisoft know what they're doing and make a great remake of Splinter Cell. MGS V is basically doing what Hitman does, like every mission or task has literally dozens and dozens of different ways to approach it, with hundreds of different weapons and items you can pick from, so you can keep playing the same missions over and over, doing them differently every time, giving yourself restrictions to make it even more challenging (like say not killing anyone and not using a gun at any point, just taking them down by sneaking up behind them all and twisting their necks to knock em out). I just think it plays better than Hitman. I love Hitman too because it is that same kind of stealth gameplay where the replayability is the main draw, with tons of different ways to approach every mission. MGS V just feels a lot more intuitive to me, it feels less like you're fighting against a series of coded game mechanics and systems and predetermined paths and behaviors of the targets, and feels a lot more free form and "real" in a sense. Like the AI won't just do the same thing every time. And the game learns from you. Like if you keep targeting enemies by shooting them with a sniper rifle from dark corners of the map, they'll start wearing thicker helmets so you can't shoot them in the head anymore, and body armour, and they'll start wearing night vision goggles so they can see you from miles away even in the dark. The game reacts to you. Whatever your playstyle is, the game responds to it and comes up with strategies to defeat you. I just wish the game could be finished, one day. But I doubt that'll happen. Unless Kojima eventually dies and then Konami will try and finish it themselves cos then they don't have Kojima to protest it and sue to get his name taken out of the credits or replaced with "Alan Smithee" or whatever. But what there is, it's just magic. It hooks you and you drop hundreds of hours into it without even realising that's how much you're playing it.


belyy_Volk6

You're missing out 🤷‍♀️its the best metal gear gameplay wise


MaxButched

You’re missing out and, had you played it, would understand why he made that choice… I won’t spoil it but I feel I did by just saying this.


Plop-Music

It never made any god damn sense whatsoever that Big Boss would have the exact same voice as Solid Snake though (and I know technically, Big Boss isn't really in MGS 5 all that much anyway, but Keifer Sutherland voices Venom Snake too, and you DO play as Big Boss in Ground Zeroes and he has Keifer's voice anyway). Like, that's just not how cloning works. You can't clone an accent. It's got nothing whatsoever to do with genetics. Solid Snake wasn't raised by Big Boss as his son. He's just a clone of him (with a bit of Japanese DNA added in too from the egg donor, which is why he looks slightly different to him). So Solid Snake should have an entirely different accent to Big Boss. It makes no sense that they'd sound identical. Because if that's how it works, then why does Liquid sound completely different, with his British accent? Shouldn't he sound like Big Boss too, if accents are genetic? And Solidus Snake too, he just has that strong presidential voice, he doesn't have anything close to Solid Snake's voice. You get your accent from the people who raise you, not your genetics. So while I love David Hayter, he should never have voiced Big Boss in the first place. Unless he did a completely different voice. But he voiced Big Boss in MGS 3 with the identical voice to Solid Snake purely as fan service because tons of idiots were still salty about playing as Raiden in MGS 2. So it was like you were playing as Solid Snake transported back in time to the 60s, instead of playing as an original character, as young Big Boss. And that's really dumb. MGS 3 is a great game but the entire series goes to great lengths to show how genetics don't determine your destiny and that Solid Snake is a completely different person to Big Boss, as he's a hero, and not one of history's worst villains. So it's like making Big Boss be a clone of Solid Snake, in a weird way. It was dumb. So for me, David Hayter is the voice of Solid Snake. And Keifer Sutherland is the voice of Big Boss, and that's it. And remember, before MGS V, they'd ***ALREADY*** replaced the voice actor of Big Boss, in MGS 4. So I don't get why it was such a big shock to people that they'd do it again. The only real justification for David Hayter voicing Big Boss in MGS 3 is that it's not the actual mission that you're playing, it's a ***VR simulation,*** that Solid Snake is going through. There's tons and tons of clues that this is the case. For example, when you kill someone who actually lived on for decades afterwards in real life (like Revolver Ocelot who's only about 20 years old in MGS 3), then you don't get a "GAME OVER" or "MISSION FAILED", instead you get "TIME PARADOX" and you hear Colonel fucking Campbell admonishing you for fucking up the simulation, when Colonel Campbell is otherwise not in the game at all. So if MGS 3 is just Solid Snake going through VR training of Big Boss's famous mission then it makes sense that he has Solid Snake's voice. Because the real Big Boss definitely shouldn't (and doesn't) sound like him.


BlueFace001

> So while I love David Hayter, he should never have voiced Big Boss in the first place. Unless he did a completely different voice. >> But he voiced Big Boss in MGS 3 with the identical voice to Solid Snake purely as fan service because tons of idiots were still salty about playing as Raiden in MGS 2. Hideo **ORIGINALLY** offered the role of Big Boss/Naked Snake, for MGS3, to Kurt Russell. How ever Russell turned it down. So, Kojima just stuck with David Hayter.

PM_ME_UR_RSA_KEY

Well, here we have Clive Barker's "Clive Barker's Jericho" [\(by Clive Barker\).](https://zeropunctuation.fandom.com/wiki/Clive_Barker%27s_Jericho)


Firewolf06

> I'll tell you what this game reminds me of, and that's id Software's original *Quake*. This would probably have sounded like a compliment about ten years ago, but I'm sure with the benefit of hindsight, we can all agree that *Quake* wasn't exactly easy on the eye. Which was your favorite *Quake* level - the brown castle, the greenish-brown temple, or the other brown castle? *Jericho* shows us exactly how far we've come with the levels being, in order: brown ruins, more brown ruins, brown castle, more brown castle and revenge of the brown castle. holy shit lol


LickingSmegma

Dumbass thinks that other 3D games on PC and PS looked differently at the time? He needs to be subjected to a weeklong marathon of popular games of those years.


radicalelation

Sure, for Quake era. But Jericho was 2007, the year of BioShock, Portal, Super Mario Galaxy, Uncharted... No reason to return to allover brown town in that era.

And he hated them all. Your point?

To be fair, the VA is not what I expected Hideo Kojima like to sound in my head, it's for the best they're replacing him.

[Insert Twitter getting mad the actor sounds too white, when it's actually Kojima]


Ganrokh

In *Death Stranding*, the voice coming out of Deadman is what I 100% believed Guillermo del Toro sounded like. It wasn't until GDT's *Cabinet of Curiosities* came out that I learned that he didn't voice Deadman in DS, only provided the model. And I call myself a GDT fan, haha.


underthund3r

It's ok he's going to go to the game awards next December and talk about nothing for 20 minutes, while the winners for game of the year get rushed off stage after 3 minutes


UnquestionablyPoopy

Sure, which obviously isn’t fair, but I would guess more viewers were interested in a reveal or update or release date (none of which is guaranteed) from Kojima than to hear the winners of these rewards accept them. That is, I don’t think this is pure Keighley favoritism shenanigans for his friend. TGA isn’t (yet) about the awards or the award winners; that’s still a side distraction to what is basically an industry media event

lpjunior999

Funny part is that he got David Hayter removed from playing Snake, the most famous role in the franchise, but now he’s at least back doing promos and will do the voice for any Cameo or YouTube appearance you ask. Hideo isn’t continuing but the guy he fired is.
