Konami confirmed the long-rumored remake of one of Hideo Kojima's best games, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater at the recently concluded PlayStation Showcase. Naturally, the modern remake of the classic Konami title is looking splendid and it comes complete with the franchise's knack for wildly convoluted names (who names their game Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, right?). But, amidst all the excitement came the question, who's voicing Big Boss, who also goes by the name John, Jack, and Naked Snake?
Well, we've got good news for those who would like to know if, among other things, David Hyater is coming back to voice Snake in the English version.
Konami has since revealed that the original voice cast of the game, Hayter included, are coming back.
This is excellent news that should curry Konami some favor from some of the most ardent Metal Gear fans.
Roughly around a decade ago, Konami, specifically Hideo Kojima, replaced David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland as the voice of Big Boss for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. Years later, Hayter confirmed in several interviews that this wasn't the first time that Kojima had tried to replace him but it was the only time he succeeded. Hayter says Kojima had openly lobbied to replace him as the voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss since Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
