David Hayter, the long-time voice of Snake within the Steel Gear Stable sequence, is rather like some other inventive. He, like most of us who spend years bettering our craft, seems to be again at older work and needs he might iron out among the wrinkles. Possibly you would like you’d sung a special word, chosen different phrases to specific an thought, or posed the topic of a portray a bit otherwise. In Hayter’s case, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has him wishing the remake had allowed him to re-record his 20-year-old traces.
In an interview with Inverse, Hayter, alongside The Boss actor Lori Alan and the vocalist behind the sport’s music, Cynthia Harrell, displays on the expertise of engaged on the unique Snake Eater sport that launched on the PlayStation 2 in 2004. Every of them was stunned to study {that a} Snake Eater remake was within the works, however they have been extra stunned that they have been requested to contribute to it. Alan instructed Inverse she would have anticipated to be recast, however that’s not the route Konami took. As an alternative, Delta primarily reuses the 20-year-old recordings from the unique. Nevertheless, Hayter and Alan did hop again within the sales space to replace some traces for the sport’s tutorials. Hayter says that whereas he’s at all times right down to play Snake once more, he needs Konami would let him re-record his complete efficiency after gaining 20 extra years of performing expertise.
“I do feel that I’m a little better of an actor now than I was then,” Hayter instructed Inverse. “It was fine back in the day, but I would have loved to bring some of the knowledge that I’ve picked up over the past 20 years to it. But you don’t want the [new tutorial] lines to be better acted all of a sudden, because that’ll take you out of the game.”
Whereas Hayter’s involvement within the remake was small, he’s hopeful this implies the sequence is making a comeback after it went on ice following director Hideo Kojima’s departure from Konami in 2015, the laughably misguided survival sport Steel Gear Survive in 2018 however.
“Anytime they ask me to be Snake, I’m in,” Hayter instructed Inverse. “It’s the definitive role in my life. It’s so complex and so profound, and there are so many different aspects to both him and Big Boss. So anytime it comes up, I’m down.”
