It was March 2013 when David Hayter, the iconic voice behind Solid Snake and later Big Boss, first hinted that he may not be reprising his role in Metal Gear Solid 5. Then a few days later during GDC 2013, Hideo Kojima confirmed a new voice actor which resulted into outrageous backlash from fans and critics alike but somehow people believed that this is all part of of Kojima’s tricks, and Hayter is secretly involved as a young Solid Snake.
In the last two years, David Hayter has teased his involvement a number of times only to deny later, gave several interviews where he mentioned how he wants to come back to the series and how he is wrestling his demon. There is literally a ton of stuff that Hayter has put out there which I can keep on writing about and as the game’s release date is approaching, it’s becoming obvious like sunshine that he is in the game. In fact, Quinton Flynn the voice actor of Raiden, who is also Hayter’s friend was told that he is still Solid Snake and more recently Troy Baker gave a very interesting response to Hayter’s recasting. Personally speaking, it’s very unlikely that a Hollywood professional like David Hayter will stretch a minor hiccup in his career to this extent. The fact that he is still talking about The Phantom Pain is weird, at least to me.
So, Hayter has yet again tweeted something interesting. The tweet which you can check out below is self explanatory so I won’t go into the details. I completely understand that this may be a random tweet but the choice of words is interesting. The tweet means that he is Solid Snake which goes in line with the theory of a young Solid Snake appearing at sometime in The Phantom Pain. I know this is speculation at best, but when we tie with all the teasers and denials Hayter has put out in the past, it adds more fuel to the fire.

On a related note, Kojima released a few screenshots from The Phantom Pain showcasing Big Boss ready to take off in a helicopter. There are a few interesting details that you may have missed out such as the AK series rifle and the grenade launcher which looks extremely similar to the ones that were used by the XOF soldiers during the destruction of motherbase in Ground Zeroes. This could be another hint that Big Boss and Skullface might be working together, so they are also sharing the same weapon technology.
The image also shows further customization of motherbase from the one we saw earlier. If you look closely, it seems that the construction is not done yet, possibly indicating that construction of the new motherbase is time bound. And finally, the helicopter has been fully camouflaged which might be a factor in deciding your success ratio in missions. Such type of camouflage are usually used in desert areas and The Phantom Pain will feature plenty of them in Afghanistan and Africa.

It's a yoga stretch but then again all Kojima news typically is

Funny enough, I started playing MGS4 again yesterday I didn't realize how much I missed modern day Solid Snake/David hayter :noah:

fukk Kojima for giving him the shaft. Both Solid and Hayter.

-DMP-
I like Big Boss, and when I play MGSGZ I get hype, but then I go back to my PS1 and play MGS and the voice acting really pushes that game to such an epic status.

Sentinel (toy manufacturer) have published a new blog post showcases the full scale Bionic Arm replica with details and new photos.

However, Sentinel are now considering selling it outside of Japan after an recent tweet from Ken Imaizumi (Senior Producer KPJ). Now check out the new photos:

According to wiki, Big Boss lost his left arm during the XOF Trojan Horse operation in 1975 (Ground Zeroes), although he was originally fitted with a simpler prosthesis. This Bionic Arm was fitted shortly after his escape from the hospital in which he had spent nine years in a coma (The Phantom Pain).

Specifically designed for Big Boss, the arm was red in color, although it could be customized to include new gadgets and colors, including an upgradable battery that could deliver 120 volts to knock an enemy unconscious.

Recently, Ken Imaizumi (Senior Producer KPJ) has asked Sentinel (Makers of the arm) : SENTINEL did a great job! 1/1 arm looks great! I'm sure western people want one too. What do you say? then Sentinel replied: Absolutely! As it’s really a great work, we will consider selling outside Japan as well. Ken retweeted Sentinel's post to the fans and saying Yes!!! Again! Good job Ken!

Local retailers haven't yet been given the RRP for the Collector Edition of the game :snoop:. Currency is in the toilet and they are worried of the exchange rate.

This thing probably gonna cost the equivalent of $200 for me :snoop:.
