The voice of ‘Metal Gear Solid’ tests the game where he was replaced and is surprised with a “laryngitic Solid Snake”

But beyond the Laryngitic Snake? This game is quite fun.

In 1998, at the age of 29, David Hayter, who until then had only done different roles in anime dubbing and in the animated series ‘Spider-man’ as Captain America, was about to get the role of his life, the one that would put him on the map worldwide and instantly recognized: Solid Snake in ‘Metal Gear Solid’. However, 13 years ago he was left aside by Konami. And then, what happened?

Snake, Snake!!

Hayter had no problem surviving: in addition to his voice acting work, which grew throughout different video games, he became a screenwriter for movies like ‘X-Men 2’, ‘Watchmen’ or the series ‘Warrior Nun’. But he always had a thorn in his side because Kiefer Sutherland replaced him in ‘Metal Gear Solid 5’.

Now, Hayter has finally played that cursed game for him, and his reaction on social media has been better than expected: “Okay, I’ve ignored it for years… But, beyond the Laryngitic Snake? This game is quite fun. (Raises his fist to the sky) “KOJIMAAAAAAA!”. The little jab, of course, couldn’t be missing.

This was Kojima’s farewell to the saga, which he may never have the opportunity to return to, but it’s not like Konami is doing anything with it: in 2018 they released ‘Metal Gear Survive’, which was excessively generic (and really didn’t appeal to the public), and they are only preparing the remake of ‘Metal Gear Solid 3’. In the end, everyone has lost. That’s the way the video game world works.

Surprise Scam Alert: The Metal Gear Solid Collection Hoax We Missed

This is the same collection that already came out in 2012 and that had the same five games from ‘Metal gear solid’ for MSX to ‘Metal gear solid 3’ for PS2, taking advantage of the fact that in 2021 that game in question stopped being sold.

Video game studios have found a goldmine with high-definition remasters. Sometimes, indeed, it’s a complete facelift for the game to fit a new generation, but more often than not, it seems like they just apply a filter to make it look clearer, put it on a disc, and start making money all over again. This is exactly what has happened to ‘Metal Gear Solid Collection,’ which, stumble after stumble, is attempting to extract money from the most naive players.

High definition-no

It’s not like Konami is trying to deceive anyone: this is the same collection that was released in 2012, featuring the same five games from the MSX’s ‘Metal Gear Solid’ to PS2’s ‘Metal Gear Solid 3,’ taking advantage of the fact that the latter game stopped being sold in 2021. The issue is that new games from the series have been released over the past decade, and it’s highly likely that they’ll charge us for them separately. It’s certainly painful to know that we’ll have to pay twice for the third part of the series: now and in the ‘Snake Eater‘ remake.

But this isn’t even the main problem. The issue is that this HD edition thinks that the acronym means something else, and Konami has already stated that the second and third parts will run at 720p on the Switch. In other words, the same resolution as on the PS3 and Xbox 360 back in the day. Wanting to sell us this at this point, after ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘ and with Nintendo unable to handle more, is almost an insult to consumers.

Of course, the producer has rushed to say that these are just rumors and that in the other versions (PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC), it will run at 1080p and 60fps. Or at least, that’s their goal. It remains to be seen whether this “goal” is the maximum the game will achieve or if it means that everything will run at the same specifications. Keep in mind that the collection will cost 60 euros, so they should have put some effort into it.

In 2023, releasing something on PS5 that runs at 1080p with a lot of effort is a bit underwhelming, let’s be honest. The games will also have a warning about outdated expressions and themes, but they won’t modify them to “preserve the historical context and the original vision of the creator.” Well, that’s the least they could do, although, given what we’ve seen…
