The REAL Big Boss talks about the future of Metal Gear Solid

[@StrikerEureka85]

I love the fact that David admits that it bothers him that they didn't call him in for MGSV. It's human.

[@thefearofg0ds758]

He honestly should never have been cast as Big Boss in the first place. Him being replaced in MGSV was to be expected. I've always hated David Hayter being Big Boss AND Solid Snake. They're 2 different characters with 2 completely different personalities and should have different voice actors.

[@mathewhaight]

The fact that the original Big Boss does show up in a cutscene at the end of Phantom pain, is such a wasted opportunity when they could have had David Hayter voice the real big boss at the end. People would have still been annoyed by it, but they would have at least been able to accept it better by having that final acknowledgment.

[@Lord_of_Dread]

That would've made it completely ok to me. Venom shouldn't have the same voice, facial reconstruction is one thing, but voices can't change like that.

[@isolirionband7300]

WE WANT THE REMAKES OF THE MSX VIDEOGAMES!!

[@Traveler_202]

I’ll be honest, my dream as a fan is Hayter playing Solid and Kiefer playing Big Boss in the same game, I just vastly prefer Kiefers delivery as an older Big Boss

[@rinraiden]

That wouldn't have made any sense in the context of the game. Everyone would instantly know it wasn't Big Boss because his voice doesn't match. Big Boss and Venom needed to be voiced by the same actor. And yes, that actor should've been David Hayter.

[@mathewhaight]

@rinraiden To quote Naked Snake when asked by Sigint how he has a gun that not only is a one-of-a-kind but was just seen in the hands of The Boss a few minutes prior. "Don't get worked up over the details". Not to mention that venom snake had 108 pieces of shrapnel lodged across his whole body. It really wouldn't be that hard to hand wave away a change in voice as one of his vocal cords getting hit.

[@rmlsi4650]

I couldn't imagine a new Metal Gear without Kojima simply due to his design quirks, but if they remade MG1/2 (MSX) into a single game it would be great to have Hayter back in the role.

[@fintan9218]

There is some potential with MG1/2 and MGS remakes because Kojima doesnt like remakes and was apparently behind the choice to make the game cube remake so different(the team involved wanted it to basically be 1:1 with the cutscenes). If the team at konami took the magic from those games and just updated the graphics and gameplay a bit they could be great. In my opinion Kojima has become an egotistical hack, but thats just my opinion. His masterpiece for me was MGS1 but that is largely nostalgia(I still enjoy the game though).

[@TheWorldsOkayestUSMarine]

David Hayter is ICONIC.

[@drumeshopeth]

Mad respect to Hayter for being so committed to my absolute favorite franchise. Thank you for sticking with it. Truly. MGS3 is a masterpiece.

[@BellowDGaming]

David is really transparent when it comes to voicing Big Boss and Solid Snake, gotta love him for that since imo he's the definitive voice of Big Boss and Solid Snake in the English dub. I'd actually pay for a DLC for MGSV for a full redubbed of David Hayter just to voice Venom Snake.

[@StrikerEureka85]

there are some clips right here on YT of David Hayter's voice added in. Interesting to watch.

[@neilisalive4892]

*spoiler* Venom Snake is just some medic so it wouldn't make sense for him to have Boss's voice. The choice wasn't against Hayter in any way, it was just narratively logical.

[@Noctuam734]

It would sound really goofy, Hayter was never intended to be Big Boss

[@pentiumradeon]

@@neilisalive4892 not true, just watch his own explanation here.

[@BenHughes81]

In Japan, Akio Otsuka did the voices for both Venom and Big Boss. What I think would have worked well would have been to use him as only Big Boss, hire another person for Venom, and chalk up the voice change as yet another of the many injuries Venom suffered. The injury angle would fit perfectly with the idea of Venom "forgetting" how to speak Russian. So, the same could have been done for the English version. David Hayter stays as Big Boss, and Keifer Sutherland as Venom. Then pull an M. Night Shyamalan (What a twist!) when the real Big Boss arrives in "The Truth" cutscene.

[@CrashHWD]

Thats actually my headcanon 😂 Kiefer is cool and all but theres no replacing Hayter

[@OldSolidSnake]

Thank you! Exactly what I have been saying all these years! Hope it gets changed when it gets remade (hoping it gets remade)

[@gunplamaniac8500]

Venom having a less gruffly voice compared to Big Boss can be explained by him being longer in a coma. (the real Big Boss woke up way earlier) since he stopped chain smoking for nearly nine years, it affected his voice.

[@chromesucks5299]

In japan, if they had gotten another va to try and play for any variation of snake/boss it would have caused a PR issue, culturally they dont 'change' va's unless the va cant do it or has passed away. Its more of a cultural issue there.

[@Timbermannetje]

Couldn't even imagine being at a restaurant & overhearing a conversation between Snake & Otacon.

[@Антон-ч4ъ]

2:10 Players familiar with the series knew from the very beginning of the game, without any tapes and the end of the game. Those who missed the beginning could have found out in the middle in the dna mismatch scene. The twist is broken. In the ending of ground zeroes we were shown big boss after the accident without damage and shrapnel, then in the hospital without a scar on his stomach, in the same hospital flowers from the 3 mgs were in bb's room, the very dialog between bb and venom, hints were all around.

[@totallyinteresting68]

And there’s even more hints too like the fact Venom can’t speak Russian at the very beginning.

[@jaythomas468]

MGS has been, hands down, my FAVORITE FRANCHISE across all mediums of entertainment. The day they announce a NEW ONE is happening (and it looks “up to par” with previous entries and has Kojima’s involvement or at least his “blessing”), you’ll probably see this grown man cry tears of joy.

[@DreamyRelaxtionChannel]

Davidd's voice, makes me feeling saucy...and im a straight guy. What a guy... David... Your the best, wish you all the best & a wonderful christmas.

[@dolurosu]

On top of the fact that Akio Otsuka still voiced both as David Hayter mentions here, he didn't even get to voice Big Boss in Ground Zeroes. So the reasoning that he didn't get to be the voice because it was Venom isn't very good to start with. Unless you go with one of those theories where GZ was actually Venom's dream during his coma or something like that of course.

[@haveacigar5291]

Solid snake is emotionless in the way he doesnt ever let them control him, thats a part of every elite soldier, nasa pilot etc.

[@omegacloud99]

We were all robbed when this man had his role stolen in MGSV cause of Kojima's obsession with Hollywood

[@86RSJag]

Agreed.

[@bobthekangaroo8858]

More obsessed with himself in my opinion

[@Gonsoi]

I remeber that i read somewhere that one of the reasons raiden was the protagonist of mgs2 instead of solid snake was to make snake look like the perfect soldier that it was known to be. In the player's hands that would be difficult since the average player makes a lot of mistakes when playing the game. So it was to make a better development of the character (i feel that it worked really good when you play the game)

[@DavMCycle]

He is a pretty good writer, the x men movies that he worked on were the best ones, I hope that he gets to reprise his role as a young solid snake.

[@Dark_Ronius]

I stand by the view Hayter should have been in V as Big Boss at the end. Because Sutherland was breathtaking with the few lines he had. But it was such a great way to let Kojima have his cake and eat it with the character. Personally I think Sutherland is a better middleground between Hayter's Big Boss and Richard Doyle's Big Boss.

[@ragingfilthycasual]

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Hayter. Also, You're pretty good. 👉 👉

[@NevOriaw]

He has a point about the voice, I mean Venom was meant to be such a 1 to 1 of Big Boss and suddenly he sounds different? Top that off with the fact like he said the Japanese cast remained the same.

[@DonForceFeedback]

4:42. I'm pretty sure it's been said that Raiden is the protagonist in MGS2 so that the player can look at snake from another perspective, for snake to look badass to the player and that sort of thing.

[@Drakis07]

I must admit that i was a little mad and disappointed when they replaced him in Metal Gear 5 when in the japanese version they kept the same voice actors who played Snake in all the previous games.

For people wondering why mgs3 is being remade first. It's technically the first story of snake, since it takes place 31 years before the first games.

[@BadassRaiden]

I am actually very happy to hear that Davis finally played through V and I totally get that he is still a bit annoyed. However, as he described his feelings in the past, it used to be something that affected him deeply and it seems like after playing, yes he's still annoyed but in his own words, not that much.
