Hideo Kojima “Still Based in Tokyo”, “All Will Soon Be Revealed” – Donna Burke
Metal Gear Solid track vocalist is “interested” in what Kojima is creating next.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain director Hideo Kojima has been on the down-low a bit since the game’s release. Though we’ve heard reports of him leaving Konami and having his last day at the office (which Konami subsequently refuted), there hasn’t been any real concrete information on what Kojima has been up to, even with rumours swelling about his appearance at this Thursday’s The Game Awards.

Interestingly enough, singer Donna Burke who sang “Heaven’s Divide” for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and “Sins of the Father” for The Phantom Pain’s E3 2013 Red Band trailer provided some clues regarding the same. When speaking to MetalGearSolid.be, Burke was asked about Kojima Productions being disbanded and fans feeling left out.

She responded by saying, “I’m very interested, curious and excited to see what Hideo Kojima is going to be creating next. I’ve heard he will still be based in Tokyo. But all will soon be revealed!”

The last line is particularly interesting – why would Burke be interested in what Kojima is creating next and then say “all will soon be revealed”? Regardless, it seems that something is going on with Hideo Kojima and it’s no coincidence that such buzz is occurring when The Game Awards are around the corner. Stay tuned for more information in the meantime and let us know what you think in the comments.

Metal Gear Solid Actor David Hayter -- "I've Got No Particular Love for Kojima"
"The whole thing could have been handled better and a little more respectfully, but I'm not going to cry about it."

The voice of Snake in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was performed by 24 actor Kiefer Sutherland, not series veteran David Hayter. Now, Hayter has spoken up about why he was not involved with the project and explained that he has no intention to ever work with series creator Hideo Kojima again.

Regarding why he wasn't involved with The Phantom Pain, Hayter told Game Informer that he bumped into a producer for the game at a recording studio and was told Konami was going in a different direction. "That was basically it," Hayter said. He then spoke with Metal Gear English casting director Kris Zimmerman, who reportedly told him, "'We're going forward, but it looks like they are going to try and replace you.' They tried to do that before, and it never worked. They tried to get voice matches, and it never happened."


Hayter further explained that the writing had been on the wall. There was apparently some amount of friction brewing between Hayter and Kojima, with the game designer hoping to find a different actor to perform the lead role, though it's unclear why.

"I had to re-audition for Metal Gear 3 to play Naked Snake," Hayter said. "They made me re-audition to play Old Snake, and the whole time, they were trying to find somebody else to do it. I heard that Kojima asked one of the producers on Metal Gear 3 to ask Kurt Russell if he would take over for that game. He didn't want to do it."

Hayter goes on to say that he cherishes the time he spent working on the Metal Gear Solid series, though he wishes his professional involvement with the series could have ended better.

"I don't have any ill will toward Kiefer Sutherland or anything like that," he said. "The whole thing could have been handled better and a little more respectfully, but I'm not going to cry about it."

Finally, he says he hasn't played The Phantom Pain ("that'll be 60 hours of humiliation") and that a future partnership with Kojima is unlikely to happen. "I've got no particular love for Kojima. I don't feel any need to go back and work with him again."

In 2013, before the launch of The Phantom Pain, Hayter said Konami never asked him to work on the game and never told him why he was passed over.

"If it were my choice, I would do this role forever," Hayter said at the time about Snake. "To hear anyone else's voice coming from Snake's battered throat, makes me a little ill, to be honest."
