Snake himself (the real-life, writerly version) is facing yet another threat (and this time, it's not from another Metal Gear prototype). He wants to write the Metal Gear Solid movie -yet Konami won't let him. You can help by putting down the PS3 controller (just wait for a cutscene), and signing David Hayter's online petition.
The PlayStation 2 boasted an impressive collection of stealth games. Here are some of the best stealth games worth experiencing
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
While I thank David for all that he has done for MGS, there are much better screen writers out there. So as a huge MGS fan (avatar) I wont be signing any petition.
As a fan of the series, I believe Mr. Hayter understands the series enough to not let me down. There may be better choices, there's definitely a lot worse, but bar Hideo Kojima, I doubt anyone understands the series and what it means to fans like David Hayter does.
While Hayter may not be the best screenwriter out there, he does have a leg up on all the other screenwriters in that he actually knows more about the Metal Gear universe than them.
Regardless though, I think making a Metal Gear movie is a horrible idea simply because the games themselves were awesome (and pretty much movies themselves). I think that a movie version of Metal Gear will fail to live up to the quality established from the games.
This article needs to be edited. David Hayter made it clear in multiple interviews a few weeks ago that he would NEVER petition online for the writing job of MGS: The Movie. This article makes it seem as if it is David Hayter who started this petition. He didn't. Very misleading news item.
Well never mind forget this comment... go away now
