Quinton Flynn Believes He Is Not Raiden in MGS: Rising. Confirms David Hayter Is Not Involved Also

TheGamingLiberty.com:

"In the final part of our interview with Raiden voice actor Quinton Flynn, we speak at length about Quinton’s concerns regarding Metal Gear Solid: Rising. Quinton tells us why he believes he is not involved in the project, why Konami and Kojima Productions have not returned any of his calls and emails relating to his involvement and how disappointed he is at the idea that someone else is potentially taking over as Raiden’s voice.

No Kojima.
No Flynn.
No Hayter.

Might as well make it a new franchise.

sinncross4740d ago (Edited 4740d ago )

That is absolute rubbish. How could he not be Raiden in a game centred solely on his character?

MGS fans: "In like Flynn, right?"
Konami: "What?"

NarooN4740d ago

Love the UC2 reference. +Bubbles

And this might be Kojima/Konami trolling as usual.

Fans: ZOE3 Kojima-san? :D :D
Kojima: Lol no.

CameronL994740d ago

What should be mentioned here is that studios NEVER call actors until the script is completely finalized, especially in the case of Metal Gear Solid where the plot must be kept in complete and utter secrecy. MGS has been known for dropping huge plot bombs, and the later actors are called the less risk you take on as a company.

Reibooi4740d ago

If this is true then this really really sucks. Whoever decided to recast everyone should be shot. I mean these are the voices who made the characters who they are and changing that all now is retarded.

I can only hope that this isn't true and it's confusion or something. I mean the game is still quite a ways off so perhaps it's confusion and if not hopefully they will listen to the fans and bring back Flynn and Hayter anyway(and anyone else that should be brought back for that matter)

Hellsvacancy4740d ago

This news just confirms what i said when the game was announced "its gonna suck"

StanSmith4740d ago

Sadly, as much as it hurts to say this:

No Kojima.
No Flynn.
No Hayter.
No Buy!

anubis564740d ago (Edited 4740d ago )

Kojima will be serving as executive producer...

plus you guys need to stop hating the game now just because its coming to 360, more gamers will get to enjoy the game.

@PirateThom

The game is being made by Kojima Productions so don't worry ^-^
plus I don't know but its still very early for them to discuss about the voice over thing...the game is still in early stages of development.

PirateThom4740d ago

Executive Producer is nothing when he's not directing, writing or taking any other interest in the game...

The fact it's coming to 360 is irrelevent when the main designer of the game isn't involved and the main series voice actors haven't even been called about it.

lil Titan4740d ago

might as well not even buy it unless its some how a good game but spin offs are almost never good

ZippyZapper4740d ago

They hate on it because it's on the 360.

End of line.............

PirateThom4740d ago

Yeah, just like the rest of multiplatform games people are enjoying right now... hey, I just invalidated your whole statement.

ZBlacktt4740d ago (Edited 4740d ago )

No one cares if it's put on a darn DVD people. We are talking about this so called...game. This extremely poor projected based off one of the all time great series. This trying to milk player's out of money hack n slash game.

ZippyZapper4740d ago

Your response proves my point, so does your comment history. If a game is gets more love on the PS3 you jump for joy. When it's better on the 360, you hate. Any game that was once a PS exclusive and goes multiplatform, you hate on it. You going to deny it, or should I start posting your past comments? I know what I am. What are you?

PirateThom4740d ago (Edited 4740d ago )

How does my comment prove your point? You said people hate it because it's on 360... I said that's not why they hate it because there's multiplatform games people are enjoying right now... but, go on then, post my past comments, I'm glad you care enough. I have never once hated on a game for being multiplatform or praised it because a PS3 version is better than the 360 version, I praise it if's a good game. You're a bitter fanboy trying to gloat at a multiplatform series going multiplatform, I get it.

lil Titan4740d ago

yes and no, all i know is my games will always be on "1" disc to play lol

JasonPC360PS3Wii4740d ago

He gotcha PirateThom. Your comments are riddled with as much anti Xbox/MS as mine is with anti PS3/Sony. You have a full page just hating Final Fantasy because it went multiplat.

Just_The_Truth4740d ago

dude what are you talking about no one even mentioned the xbox so stop with the insecurity. If you've ever played a MGS game which i doubt you'd understand why the voice actors and kojima are so important. I also hate the fact that SP changed the voice actor in infamous 2 and thats an exclusive just be glad you getting the half retarded little brother of the real MGS and stfu.

ps3destroyer4740d ago

And that's all Kojima's fault not Konami's.If Hideo wasn't a ps3 fanboy and worked on the game maybe all those guys would come up eith him.Now we're left with Konami trying to find people who are willing to make a good game not just a ps3 exclusive(Kojima refused to work on the game because of exclusivity for sure).

Baka-akaB4740d ago

how dare a creator not support more a spin-off that would happen weither he wants or not ?

Your statement is even more ridiculous when he still appears even for that game , when needed .

I dont know what else you want from the guy when he's got his own stuff to work upon , including the main mgs serie

Blaze9294740d ago

hmm, Raiden had a voice?

Maybe he isn't being casted for Raiden again because of the survey's conducted and how everyone pretty much hated Raiden as a character is this is Konami/Kojima Productions make a fresh start for Raiden in whole. That means a new voice then so be it.

I don't really see how voice actors will suddenly make a game bad. People are hating on this game WAY too much for information they know WAY too little of. It's still Kojima Productions and Kojima isn't going to let a group of people tarnish their good name of a company with a bad game. Of course, there are other reasons for the hate...yeah, disagree with me.

Hyperbomb694739d ago

so many things are wrong with this game...
plus it doesn't help that its gonna be a multiplat so chances are that its gonna be a really shallow game.

IPUMPMYGUN4740d ago (Edited 4740d ago )

Lol, this game is going to flop and this is why MGS series should stay on PS3. This is what happens when you make a multiplatform title with the same brand. You gotta dumb it down.

Tigerfist4740d ago

Are you aware that both MGS and MGS2 were multi-platform titles?

sayonara894740d ago (Edited 4740d ago )

Ports were released years (2 for MGS and 1 for MGS2) after orginal releases. MGS3, 4, PO and PW were exclusives to Sony platforms. Looks like main series is still exvlusive, let's see what Kojima will show at E3, if it's MGS5 I think it will be exclusive to PS3, NGP or both.

anubis564740d ago (Edited 4740d ago )

flop? dumb down? just because that guy wont be the voice actor for Raiden?...eh typical fanbois here can't get more idiotic...

For me I trust Kojima Pro they never failed me once personally can't wait for the game!

El_Colombiano4740d ago

Do you not understand that the man himself isn't interested in the game?

No Way4740d ago (Edited 4740d ago )

Which is stupid.. There is no reason why Kojima shouldn't be working on it.
The only reason why he would not want to work on it is cause it's multiplat..
Which is not something that he wanted, but regardless, it's still his game.

The only other reason, would be that cause it stars Raiden, but really..
Which is a poor excuse, if I must say so. As he did create Raiden, so ..

ps3destroyer4740d ago

The game will flop because Hidoe is a ps3 fanboy and couldn't care less for a multiplatform game.It's not Konami's fault that he didn;t want to work on other systems.We have iconomical crisis all over the world and you think Konami would make the favour to the ps3 fantroll named Hideo Kojima release the game on one system?They're not as stupid as ps3 fanboys on N4G I think.

maverick404740d ago

ouch, i have a bad feeling about this game. I wonder what kojima is working on though?

@Erik7357

Obama banned mulsims too? So whats you point. It all of the sudden tpeople have a opinion on it due to not liking trump. But didn't care when Obama did it in 2011. Liberal Hypocrites.

ravinash2659d ago

He's been in barely a week, and all he does is create policies that give the appearance that he's doing something to please the people that voted for him. Nothing that is actually effective mind you.
He promises to build a wall, says Mexico has to pay for it - Mexico says it won't pay for it = no wall.
Even if the wall was built, if people are determined to get in, they will either climb or tunnel through, so the wall is completely pointless.

Then the ban on people from 6 Muslim countries. Basically creates a lot of hardship for innocent people (a lot of whom are american) because it's stopping families from being together.
And again it's ineffective because if someone really wants to get in (fake passport or go through one of those tunnels under the wall), then they will.
Even if they didn't, most of the attacks these days have been brainwashed people who were already living in America.

This just shows a president who is more concerned with the appearance they give rather than creating an actual thought out action plan to make the world a better place.

JunMei2659d ago

I'm not sure if he's serious or not. Needless to say, any time a country tries to make things overwhelmingly in its favor, making things unfair for everyone else, that's when countries stop doing business with that country. Which then causes exports from that country to falter, since it loses out on trade.

The most promising games that never saw a release

VGS: 'Part of the excitement in gaming comes from watching a game be unveiled, following its news updates and eagerly awaiting the day of release. But there are times when it never gets to that final part. Either the game is cancelled, put on hold indefinitely, or becomes ‘vaporware’ - meaning, we simply never hear from it again. Here are some games that never saw a release, but that did look rather promising.'

Agent20093853d ago

I'm still disgruntled by Kojima's decision to cancel the original Metal Gear Solid: Rising's concept. It was absolutely ambitious: an open world stealth slasher with an ability to cut literally everything to make your way through... without enemy's notice.

I guess it was just too beautiful to happen.

Nyxus3853d ago

Yeah the idea was very cool but they just couldn't get the concept together. It's a shame but maybe they will do something with the material they have some day.

-Foxtrot3853d ago

I know right, in my opinion the game we got was horrible compared to what could of been. The Rising game we got seemed out of place for being a MGS game even despite being a spin off.

Eight Days hopefully will make it's way to the PS4 one day, the gameplay back in 2006 looked amazing. Imagine what it will look like now

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3853d ago

Rising is actually canon. LOL

Also, although it seems out of place. It was by no means a bad game. Terrible story, but gameplay was AMAZING.

-Foxtrot3853d ago

Get out...really, it's now cannon

I thought Kojima said it was a non cannon spin off...christ sake <sigh>

Dagobert3853d ago

I was seriously looking forward to Konami's MGS Rising. That was supposed to be an actual prequel to MGS4 where the storyline made sense. The new one just sucked honestly, it would have made a great Bayonetta game where gameplay is fun and storyline is just stupid.

zeal0us3853d ago

Blame the development for not being able to get the action and stealth element together.

ChipChipperson3853d ago (Edited 3853d ago )

The original concept for Rising definitely looked way better. It just had that swiftness and accuracy to the whole cutting mechanic. There was a certain, I suppose, elegance and finesse to the way they had Raiden move and how he fought. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Revengeance for what it was, but I was really looking forward to what Kojima Productions was going for, both gameplay wise and story wise. Who knows, maybe one day they will use concept for a new Rising game that is made by Kojima Productions or possibly a new IP from them.

Nyxus3853d ago

I agree, while I did enjoy MG Rising, the previous concept did look and sound intriguing, and I was interested in that story focusing on Raiden's transition to cyborg ninja.

Murad3852d ago

I totally agree with your statement, but now that I'm thinking about it, if he did do it, it would be very difficult in terms of programming. The reason why is because every time, let's say hypothetically, Raiden cut something, that dataStructure would have to look completely different, or disappear and be replaced, there would be far too much to necessary power to be put on different systems, I believe, unless I'm thinking of programming this game completely the wrong way.

ZBlacktt3853d ago (Edited 3853d ago )

And when I was saying this spin off game was going to do so poorly long before it came out. People just clicked disagree, lol. I know the gaming market. :cool:

Same with MGS5. People will buy it for sure. But it won't have the impact MGS4 did. More so changing out David Hayter for no real reason at all. But more for a personal one of Kojima's. Many diehards did not like that at all!

A lot of the games history died in MGS4. Now it's become just some game. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

TheDivine3852d ago

Idk I really didnt care for MGS4, it was too action focused, stealth meant nothing, the story was horrendous, along with many other things like lack of memorable boss fights. Still, MGS is as awesome to me as always. The game didnt live up to snakes last mission in my eyes but it was still a good game. The series is still amazing for sure.

I do agree axing David Hayter was a HORRIBLE thing to do. He is Snake. The series is def going more TPS and mainstream. I'm worried how Kojima will manage to keep it stealthy in an open world setting. I have my worries but Kojima has delivered time and time again so I will trust him and hope he makes me feel like a fool for doubting him lol.
