Kojima trolling us once again. :P

Turns out David Hayter might still play Snake in 'Metal Gear Solid V' after all

MGSV: The Chosen One Youtube video

Well, this certainly is a long shot, but let's take a look anyway. Just moments ago (April 20)this video (also embedded for convenience) emerged on the net under the YouTube channel moniker "OnigawaraV," hinting at... something.

What we now know based on what Hideo Kojima (the creator of 'Metal Gear') has told us earlier this month is that David Hayter's departure as Snake's long time voice actor in the upcoming 'Metal Gear Solid V' signified a change and a step in a different direction with the series' gameplay and story mechanics, much to the dismay of long time fans. What's strange about this is that the Japanese voice actor has not been changed.

With that all said, could this video be a fan's ruse? More viral marketing? Something completely unrelated? Of course. This is a 'Metal Gear Solid' marketing campaign after all and if you've been following what has been going on with 'MGSV: The Phantom Pain' thus far, you'll know what to expect. Or to be more accurate, what not to expect.It would be difficult to imagine a 'Metal Gear Solid' game where we play as Snake without David Hayter beneath the veil. And it would seem even stranger that they would change voice roles out of the blue with little to no explanation and, as Hayter himself told us on Twitter, no heads up or "Thank you and goodbye" to the legendary voice actor himself.

If this does turn out to be related in some way and not just an elaborate fan prank/cry for help, this could mean astronomical changes to the Metal Gear Solid universe. For instance, the voice we heard in the latest trailer for 'The Phantom Pain' was not David Hayter, meaning that perhaps this is someone entirely new, despite all signs pointing to it being Big Boss aka Naked Snake.

Whatever the case, be sure to subscribe to Dalton right here on Examiner and stay updated with all things 'Metal Gear' as they emerge. We're all in this together and one thing is for certain: We'll know exactly what the hell is going on soon enough. Let's just try not to collapse with anticipation as the date draws nearer.

Nice repost

also: not system wars related

What the hell does,"V has come to" mean?Nengo_Flow

But I think they mentioned they chose to use Roman Numerals because V has something to do with the story of the game.

Edit* I remember Hideo Kojima on Gametrailers saying the V stands for Victory so it references "Victory has come to"

David bossman Hayter will return.

Video says he's done a lot of animated movies. Hayter hasn't done any.

That fine if people think it's awful. It's obvious it was a movie yet people are still hanging on to that joke thinking they're slick when they post it, it stopped being funny a couple years back.

That looks fake and just a p!ss take. And even if it were true I still don't think that means Hayter will be Snake

Changed his profile pic to Solid Snake, I honestly have no doubts he'll return.

As Solid or Big boss is the question though.

Hmmm interesting. Maybe he IS Snake then

I called it... I said it was another trolling from Kojima. I guess I was right

Hmm I didn't see that. Interesting. I think his return is inevitable.

It's obvious it was a movie

23Jarek23

Why? Because it has long cutscenes? It still had gameplay, and a great one. Sorry, its a game

[QUOTE="SolidTy"]

I called this as an elaborate and clever PR move when everyone else was pissing and moaning...Kojima is awesome. :P

seanmcloughlin

I still don't think Hayter's omission was a PR move or trolling. It legitimately seems as though he wasn't asked to do it, but if he IS in it now I think ti's because of what fans have been saying since

I think the opposite, hopefully the truth will come out around E3 time. I thought it was a clever hoax right when Hayter made his statements...because I have read and have come to an understanding of Kojima over the great many years as a longtime fan since playing MGS on NES (That was my first exposure, although his version was on MSX). I have various magazines articles, press statements, and of course his teasing fans/breaking the fourth wall many times. I just had a hunch...we'll see. The video released of Phantom Pain a few months ago also revealed clues to another character offscreen as well.

Some people relish the opportunity to work on different things... not this guy. Poor guy is the definition of typecast.zeroyaoi

Duh of course he IS Snake, wouldn't be a MGS game w/o him :P

Honestly though if Kojima did fubar us into thinking Hayter wasn't in MGS V....he can go to that special part of hell along with the people who talk in movie theaters.

my predictions, Big Boss = new guy, young Solid Snake = David Hayter

Vatusus

The guy sure likes to troll, everything is possible with Kojima. It would be more surprising if he didn't resort to any tricks/gimmicks when doing a game reveal. 

Video says he's done a lot of animated movies. Hayter hasn't done any.
