hideo kojima and the soldiers of hayte

 

There has been a single overriding topic that has consumed my mind in recent months. Let me ramble on about it here. Of course. Like most things I say. Don't consider what I say here to be anything close to actul facts. Its all for the best.

 

Only kojima could make me NOT hyped for metal gear solid 5. no matter what you say about the man. No matter what I go on to say about him here. You cant deny. He is a master troll. To be fair. Hes continuing to do his job. He hates us fans.

What I'm bleathering about is david hayter not returning to voice big boss for ground zeros or the phantom pain. Just goona say this up front. I don't believe this is true. Call me delusional if you want. Its fine. But this is just too kojima a development for it not to be trolling. Here me out loikes.

David hayter IS the voice of snake. I mean. He just is. FUCK IT. David hayter IS snake. Replacing him is just unthinkable to me. It disturbs me that other folk think its no big deal. I just thought we didn't take shite like that. Now. Don't get me wrong. There is president for hayter to not voice big boss. He didn't in mgs4. That's fine likes. Bigg boss was auld then and hayter was cutting about as solid snake. So it is fine for hayter not not voice big boss eventually. One day. Years from now. When we're all very dead.

 

However it seems ground zeros takes place soon after peace walker. So I think you'll agree its weird for big boss's voice to so suddenly change. Now. Maybe there's room there for hayter to voice big boss during ground zeros but not in mgs5. I could by that big boss was effected by his coma and the years spent in it. Basically. Like most sane folk . I want hayter in mgs5 in some fashion.

And there's hella room for him to be in it. So much room that I feel this is something worth talking about. I think the general feeling is that the time line is getting to the point where by mgs5 we could be seeing kid solid snake cutting about. So it entirely possible that hayter will be voicing him and not big boss. That's the main hope I cling to. Its what keeps me sane. There's a wee problem with that theory in that kid solid would only be about 10 years auld at the time game is meant to start and I don't think the legendary gravel growler snake voice of hayters wid work on a pre teen. Though. I'm gona call it now and say that mgs5 MAY take place over several years. Allowing for popper snake action.

Kiefer sutherland. The actual fuck. So you replace hayter with someone new. But its just some actor. Its not even like you replace hayter with another voice actor. You get a famous guy. Like. You COULD have got steve blum. That would have lessened the pain. But no. even if kojima wanted a famous actor to voice snake he could have got kurt russell. You know. SNAKE PLISSKEN. For fuck sake. I'm sure kojima could have just given him all the money to do it.

Meta wise. Its not like we haven't been here before. Snake has continually been replaced as the player character in the actual games starting with mgs2. Everyone was hyped as fuck to play as the legendary solider in the next gen graphics of the ps2. What we got was raiden. I like radien. He's a true bro. But ayes. That was kojimas master work of trolling. In mgs3 we play as big boss for the fist time. Who is A snake. But not OUR snake. Again. True bro though. We had to wait until mgs4 where we once again got to play as our hero. And he was an auld man. See what I'm getting at ? The replacing of hayter is just another aspect of playing as not snake. This time its a little bit more personal. It cuts hella deeper.

This is all just delusional fan boying. Ayes. But we all know something WILL happening mgs5. Something will happen and then it wont stop happening. There HAS to be some sort of twist. Mad meta plots and cardboard box shenanigans. Its metal gear solid after all. It dose seem big boss is going by punished snake for 5. that seems some what significant to me. Its entirely possible that who we believe to be big boss isn't. That it may be another clone. All the sons of big boss other than solid we're voiced by other folk after all. Though I will admit this seems a little unlikely after recent trailers. Though. We shid NEVER trust metal gear trailers.

There are things that can be said against hayter of course. I here grumblings that doing the snake voice hurts him. But come on now folks. I feel we can be fairly confident in saying that the man would do the voice until it killed him. Folk are also on about the voice being degraded . Being a parody of itself now. I cant even process that. Like. WHO are these people ? what is wrong with there blazing souls ? The snake voice is quite huge part of the fun of any metal gear game. For me at least. A large part of the games is codec conversations after all. And yes. It may not be exactly the same as in the ps1 days. But big boss IS ageing after all.

 

Well. At the end of the day. It may just be real life shiting all over the dream. It may just be ugly personal real life stuff getting in the way of awesomeness. The thing is I hold kojima to a higher standard. The man made a game about memes in 2001 for fuck sake. He's clearly a god. Or maybe. Was a god. Still. I cling to the hope that all will be well. That its all just a funny jokey joke. That come release day everything will be set back the way it should be. That we'll all be sitting by roaring fire toasting auld kojimas genius.

We shall see.
