Would be great to have hayter back in any capacity.

Nitrowolf22048d ago

I’d like him back in some form to, but I think this just may have to do with the movie tbh

naruga2048d ago (Edited 2048d ago )

while a bit of a duche bagg (especially after MGS4) ...i consider him the original ,the only and the best Snake voice actor...its acting in mGS1 and MGS3 is unsurpassed (in mGS4 is overacting a bit)....Kiefer Sutherland was horrible alltogether

Goldby2048d ago

@Naruga

but then again.

Keifer was never snake or boss

DarXyde2048d ago

Naruga,

How did he overreact in MGS4? He did a phenomenal job of portraying an old and grizzled Snake. Very calm and tired. Peacewalker I could understand, but not MGS4.

Richard Doyle did God's work with Big Boss though. A+++ acting.

Dirtnapstor2048d ago

@DarXyde
Hayter became very bitter with Kojima because Kojima replaced him. Apparently this was in works for some time, but finally came about after MGS4.
Hayter did a great job as Snake. Curious as to how he will act now, if he's changed his post-MGS douchebag mentality.

P_Bomb2048d ago (Edited 2048d ago )

@goldby

I thought of that angle, but technically Keifer was OG Boss in Ground Zeroes and in Phantom Pain’s true ending where Boss and Ocelot light up by the bike. His legacy will be as the medic though.

@DarX

Agreed. Richard Doyle did good with the mountain of exposition he had. To come outta nowhere and have to end the series, end the character, and pull it off without sounding green.

Completely misleading.

Eonjay2048d ago (Edited 2048d ago )

*Facepalm* GB... you don't see the layers upon layers of irony here do you?

Exvalos2048d ago

Pretty big reach because hideo is actually the person that wanted hayter out of Mgs 5

Goldby2048d ago

because it wouldnt have made any sense.

why have the person iconic with snake voice a character that isnt snake or boss

solidsnake2222048d ago

... You do realize that the Japanese voice actor of Snake continued his work in the Japanese version of MGS5, right?

Goldby2048d ago

yes, and that person is also attached to DS.

Akio Ōtsuka is well known in japan and with people who are deep in with MGS.

but the average person associates David Hayter with MGS and snake mainly because the English version gets more air time.

as much as i enjoy listening to Akio Ōtsuka, i would say David Hayter is more the voice of snake than Akio is.

-Foxtrot2048d ago (Edited 2048d ago )

I’m surprised since Kojima replaced him with Sutherland in MGSV and didn’t even give the guy who’s played the character for 20 years a phone call to just say “look I’m doing this, this is why, no hard feelings”

Blew up in his face anyway since Sutherland was awful in the role.

GOULDYBOBS2048d ago

I still haven't got over it

PitbullMonster2048d ago (Edited 2048d ago )

Maybe he choosed someone else because of the plot twist?
*Spoiler Alert*
I mean Venom Snake is not Big Boss or a clone of him.

Goldby2048d ago

yeah thast what people always seem to forget or leave out.

Snake was never in the game, and having david voicing venom would have only made things more confusing and disjointed

generic-user-name2047d ago

@Goldby That would make sense, except Snake was in Ground Zeroes and was still voiced by Kiefer. Plus the real Big Boss does appear in Phantom Pain, as Ishmael/Cassette tapes/etc, and it's Kiefer again. Add on the fact that the Japanese actor was never replaced for MGSV and this excuse doesn't add up.

I love Kojima, but he did Hayter dirty.

CDbiggen2047d ago

The Japanese VA for snake didn't change for MGSV, so there goes that point.
Hideo is a celeb fanboy, that's the only reason keifer was bought in.

P_Bomb2047d ago

@generic
That’s true too, the cassette tapes after you beat it have HUGE story. You hear the real Big Boss in the hospital talking to Ocelot about everything that happened and will happen. The plans to move him etc, while medic’s still asleep. And of course the tape he recorded for Venom that Venom listens to right before Solid presumably kills him.

RedDeadLB2048d ago

Oh come on, Sutherland did a much better job than Hayter ever did. The only thing about Hayter is that we're used to him voicing Snake.

The real issue is that Sutherland didn't have too many lines to work with.
That scene alone when you bring Quiet back to Mother Base outdid everything Hayter ever said as any Snake ever.

Neil Druckmann clarifies true intent of new Naughty Dog game comments

Following a recent interview with Sony, Naughty Dog head Neil Druckmann claims the original intent was “unfortunately lost” in the process.

just_looken2d ago

He can take dog shit put it in a oven with seasoning then call it waistland cookies the sony fans will pay $40 a cookie give them a medal of cooking.

No mater what trash this sobs puts out/talks about it will sell.

The true fact in the 8 years sense uncharted 4 his first time in the main seat to a point all this "amazing" team did was get 2 dudes to fuck in a van then destroy a franchise they never created.

But being a port studio they are decent at they should keep in there lane at being just that a glorified port studio.

fr0sty2d ago

Salty Bots... gotta love it.

just_looken2d ago

@frosty

Over what? naught dog under his command is a glorified port team tlou2 was mostly tlou 1 asset's with the same game play loop but forced a trans down your throat.

I would gladly help pay for this blight and his team to get removed from gaming in general.

fr0sty2d ago

Seeing a LGBT person exist in a work of fiction isn't "forcing them down your throat". Nobody is forcing you to play it. Nobody is forcing you to agree with it. If you think that just seeing a LGBT person exist is "force", it sounds like they make you very uncomfortable, and maybe you need to be doing some serious reflecting on exactly why... looks to me like you're suppressing something with all that fear.

just_looken2d ago

@fro

When i think of the last of us i think of a group of survivors crossing the apocalypse wasteland with a growing bond between 2 people that end up with Joel making ellie his new daughter.

Then you fire up the 2nd one bang joel is dead oh that comic series? bang dead

Oh you want to continue all that we grew in the first one? na f that toss it in the trash

Now here is a trans woman so strong superboy would blush go out there kill all what made tlou1 then halfway get a forced sex scene that you can not skip between 2 dudes.

The gameplay? just like the first game the combat/backpack system crafting sytem? 0 changes/improvements.

I could go on but lets face it they copy pasted that tlou 1 assets bin a shit ton of times.

There is nothing on the box or the ads or anything before the game that said you would going to spend most of the game controlling a new trans character that has no ties to anything of the first game the only existence was to kill what the first game made.

Oh but hey there is a mp mode coming out before 2022 wait what is that? oh we made it its own game then cancelled it now go but the game again as we port it a few times.

mkis0072d ago (Edited 2d ago )

What has Straley or Henig released since they left ND? Not a thing! stop scapegoating! Which of them is credited with co-writing a majorly successful show?

just_looken2d ago

@mkis007

You bring up Bruce Straley really? someone that gave us 4 generations of amazing games and was there in the creation of 4 legendary franchises but was tossed in the trash for the pos niel druckmann not 7? years ago

So yeah in those 7? years you right all he has done is get 2 awards one is a game award for a puzzle game he made oh boy right like for fuck sake's all niel has done is one game that was a overhyped fan boy orgasm underneath all that ps jizz was just a typical 5/10 game.

Then you drag Amy Hennig that poor woman was also kicked out then became this century's Brendan Fraser with her sexual misconduct information coming out.

We all know how horrible people are treated behind the scenes she might have been sexual attacked groped or something.

So yeah all she did after was battlefield hardline forspoken now that new marvel 1945 game but hey Brendan Fraser was a great actor till he also said he was sexually attacked just now he is allowed back in no doubt she also had to take a leave of absence out and or was forced out on ice.

Man there are way to many out there that look at niel at the new gaming jesus when all he had done is some work on uncharted 4 then tlou2

Oh also the tvhshow? for real all they did was use stuff from the 2013 game its like saying GOT was a 10/10 but never watching past season 3

-Foxtrot2d ago

@mkis007

That's highly unfair to them both

Amy Hennig got messed around working on projects that got cancelled by the publishers (EA) and then ended up on a awful game (Forspoken) where you had 4 other writers working on it which is just a recipe for disaster. She is now working on Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. Not her fault she was pushed out of NaughtyDog, something both Nolan North and Richard McGonagle have both said in interviews.

Bruce Straley left after burn out, the rest of the story we don't know and will never know just like what happened with Amy Hennig. He decided to take a break and wasn't sure if he wanted to come back to gaming however he had an idea he wanted to make so he founded Wildflower Interactive, a smaller studio where they are currently working on a new game.

Tacoboto2d ago

@the obvious stain of a commenter

The trans character wasn't Abby. Try playing Part 2 instead of gatekeeping what you think Part 1 was about and meant.

Maybe try watching the show while you're at it, because you're terribly off with your opinion on that too

MajorLazer2d ago

Naughty Dog is better than all the MS studios put together.

derek2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@just he has been behind 2 of the greatest games ever made. Tlou2 was easily the best non-vr game made last gen. Losers just can't get over Joel's death, mixed with the usual console war nonsense. The fact that you so casually call him a sob shows how deranged some gamers have become about Drunkmann.

derek2d ago

@frosty, for people like Just, including anyone that can be categorized as being a minority in any kind of media is "forcing it down his throat " lol. I to don't care for poor "checking box" inclusion for inclusion sake but that was not the case with tlou2.

fr0sty2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

The pathetic part about it is, you can tell just_looken never even played TLOU, because that was the game where Ellie's sexuality was first brought to light... No "that was forced down our throats" to be said about that.

Only terrified folks in the closet that use their hatred as cover from outing themselves fear LGBT people that much. They exist. They will exist in all aspects of life, including popular media. Get over it.

just_looken2d ago

@all

Once again you drag out something like its a big win

Here is my old channel a clip of me playing TLOU on ps3
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Search my channel for more clips

Proof its my channel? look at this profiles banner that is 7yrs old then look at other vids on that channel like my bf3 clips to see my psn id. But knowing this group that is way to much work.

Also elle being a lesbian is another trump card? one dlc is all we got of that a dlc that took over a year to be tossed out.

Glad he clarified it but i'm still somewhat skeptical. Plus, his comments about how Ai will revolutionize storytelling were still pretty iffy.

No need to bow down, Stan your ground. The AI comments were gross though.

Pretty excited as I read these. I just cant wait to see what ND is up to.

It will be something like "we erased gameplay all together it's just a movie now"

purple1014d ago

every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'

from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4

and now we will see what they do with ps5,

Arrogant asshole who sniffs his own farts bigs up next game…sounds like typical PR to me

You know what I find interesting? Almost every site reporting this as the main title where the REAL interesting bit of the interview is Neil praising AI and saying it will be used to help push story, characters, dialogue and more.

It’s super shitty to big up AI especially when it comes to story telling and other creative elements.

senorfartcushion4d ago

Just because someone says this type of stuff, it doesn't mean that it's guaranteed to be good news.

You can say this about microtransactions. MXTs revolutionised the gaming industry.

He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.

I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
