Absolutely epic. You guys have really outdone yourselves this time! Having met David Hayter myself, I know he's a class act and that really comes through in this video.
@@LeeEverett1 Explain Sean Hayes then. He received millions and millions of dollars for YEARS for his role of Chef in South Park but then he said he hated the show. There's also Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher who hated the Star Wars sequel trilogy even though they got higher paychecks than the main lead actors!
Thanks to MGS1 I learned to speak English, my native language is Spanish, I’ve tried to comprehend the game, not just killing people… so I played the entire game with an English-Spanish dictionary on hand, more than a couple of times. My favorite franchise.
MGS 1 helped me learn english back when I played it as a kid. I so much wanted to learn to understand it better. I'm polish. Not only that but just this single game is fully responsible for creating my preference for treating story in video games as the biggest selling point for me. It's been something like 20 years now since I played it and still this hasn't changed a single bit. It's not my only preference of course. But a really good story (and I mean for real) leaves practically every other characteristic far behind. Damn... Good thing I had this and not... Things like Fortnite. I mean I have nothing against Fortnite... But I definitely would not want IT to be responsible for creating my preference as a kid:|
That Snake Eater joke he made with the game having 69 cut missions killed me, lol. I only thought, "Nice," as usual, but didn't make that connection, lol.
I wonder if some of the stuff he proposed would be possible now? I'd be interested to see what wacky ideas Kojima can implement with modern hardware in his future games.
Kojima is full of insane ideas, and it shines through in his recent titles the most. MGSV and Death Stranding are full to the brim with amazingly thought out mechanics that interact with one another wonderfully. He is a creative genius and I don't think there's any way to deny that. He can be a bit hit or miss, though, as he's had his number of backfires throughout the years. Also, the dude has a serious problem with pacing. I'm a huge Kojima fan, but I can see how some people might be put off when they have to deal with his issues, like the beginning of MGSV (that hospital sequence is insufferable, especially when you have to replay it), or many of the choices in Death Stranding, which I'm currently playing and I find myself avoiding to interact with some of the most cumbersome mechanics (yeah, I know, I'm supposed to use the rope to go down that cliff... but hear me out: what about jumping down and see if I make it??)
"you want a controller people can TASTE WITH? BLOOD SCENTED PAINT?! MUSHROOMS GROWING FROM PISS?!!!" Maybe the reason Konami switched to pachinko was because they were so burnt out dealing with his bullshit...
Epic how Kojima predicted big tech would be taken over by the intelligence agencies to control the minds of the populations. We see it all now with the twitter files
Honestly, that's just how creative visionaries are. They dream big and then the people whose talent is negotiation, implementation, and marketing bring them down to earth and the final product generally turns out well. When a creative has too much control, you end up with over ambitious material that either never gets completed or ends up losing too many people. When they don't have enough control, you get design by corporate focus group and the product loses its soul.
As is the case with so many creators out there. The most fantastical words you could ever dream of, limited by our technology. Though this gap becomes smaller each year.
@@Ougerosity598 Nah, even Kojima knows killing his fanbase would be bad for business. He would propose the shock to put the player in coma for 1 month.
Snake himself calling Raiden's "baby maker" "what should not be seen, would be seen" made me laugh much harder than expected. What a fucking cool guy he is. Amazing of him to come onto a TH-cam channel..TWICE!
Okay, Kojima bringing the devs into a forest and having them captured by combat specialists to make MGS3 is the most based thing I'll ever hear a game director do.
You know how a lot of scenes in MGS2 have Raiden talking to someone right in front of them but they need to switch to codec? I wonder if those were originally gonna be fully animated cutscenes but they couldn't be finished because they had to reallocate that time into changing the ending.
I always wondered why characters opted to do that so many times. The codec in general I think gets used as a way to freeze time during info-dumps. It also doesn't make much sense that all the people you run into just happen to have a codec. Why would Stillman in MGS2 have one, for example?
It's probably a budget thing. Imagine every conversation having a cutscene, how much time would have to be spent on music, sound-design, animation, camera work, etc.
All of David's small interjections throughout prove it to me. That Snake losing his charm and personality may have been due to the script, but it was also due to David not being there. Man has a charm that just bled into the role. There can be only one Snake and one Big Boss! *dramatically jumps into Metal Gear Ray*
Worst decision Kojima made was remove Hayter from MGSV, and more broadly his recent obsession with hiring TV/movie actors he likes. That’s not to say those actors are at fault, but when many factors came together, the performances ended up very hit and miss.
Love you guys for going all out and bringing David himself to narrate these vids. Metal Gear has always been one of my favorite franchises and MGS3 might just be my all time favorite game, and it is heartwarming to see such a popular channel keeping the legacy alive.
kojima is utterly insane with his ideas and i love it. he constantly starts with IMPOSSIBLY ambitious goals, so when he inevitably doesn't meet them he still ends up with something that's above and beyond!!
He would have done better to NOT have terrible, insane ideas. Then instead of wasting everyone's time on bad ideas that aren't remotely possible, they could have spent more time and effort polishing the good ideas.
@@TheMisterGuySo a developer can’t have ambitions on their games? Either way, the ideas are usually cut early in development so it wasn’t a time waster.
I'm the guy who wrote this video, and I promise you that line wasn't in the script. Hayter added it while recording. I was quite surprised when I heard it lol. 100% not joking.
@@DJIVision obviously I was skeptical in your claim at first (cuz you know, internet) but holy shit you're deadass. That's awesome!! Glad to know David Hayter has his own amazing sense of humor lol
For an off the cuff reading, Hayter did a great job with those few lines from Rising. He's not just fantastic because he voiced snake, he's a great acting talent.
It’s just so crazy to listen to David “Snake” talk about MGS. It’s like a super secret cutscene where you find out Snake was just acting the whole time. Thank you, David.
This also happened to The Phantom Pain, Ground Zeroes was the release that was most what Kojima intended, playing with dark themes and torture, which was mostly cut from TPP. It's honestly a shame, reality is dark, and horrible. Games that are designed to reflect reality and tell stories should be as close to that as possible in my opinion.
But TPP is dark. I mean there are child soldiers, losing limbs then hunting your enemy till you lose yourself in the process and your humanity,washed up dead bodies in a polluted factory because of experiments with a parasite, a rape scene, the whole part with Huey which is just deplorable, Venom snake forced to kill his own soldiers, the wounds of colonialism and its aftermath ; not to mention the countless tapes one of which is a sort of rendition of The Rwandan Genocide. This game is dark, perhaps it's more subtle in its bleakness but I think follows perfectly the line introduced in Ground Zeroes
@@oniricuncle "But TPP is dark. I mean there are child soldiers..." The problem is it doesn't fit. The game is too silly for those heavy themes. The bad guy's name is Skull Face. This is seriously Adam West Batman levels of camp. And oh my god, I just realized Quiet (aside from being a woman who looks hot and can't talk) is like a combination Poison Ivy and Catwoman. And those ridiculous prosthetic fist weapons...They could literally cast Adam West's Batman as the hero and this wouldn't get less silly.
I still wish the original MGS Rising concept could see fruition. I just always loved the idea of an inbetweenquel about Raiden going full cyborg and saving Sunny from the Patriots. Even if Platinum doesn't get to make a game out of it, I think seeing the scenario play out in the form of a comic book or something would be sick.
With how Revengeance got popular recently and all the memes, lets hope that could convince Konami to let Platinum do another one, hell maybe they could even bring Kojima to consult with them again.
Kojima: WE NEED TO CANCLE THIS GAME OR ELSE THE AMERICANS ARE GOING TO BE PISSED ABOUT 9/11! The US fan base: WHY AM I PLAYING THIS PRETTY BOY TWIIIIIIIIIIIINK!
@@yrh002b8 He hated it, there was a video essay about it but the guy deleted it, he hated the fans and if u played mgs5 you would understand, he all fkd with us left us with the phantom pain...
It’s not that insane, actually. Probably the hardest thing is to have them match schedules, but Hayter is a pretty chill, down-to-earth guy who shares the fans’ love for the franchise and is always up for collaborating on anything Metal Gear related… or even letting fans record him on their phones saying anything using Snake’s voice
They have all the resources, all the incentive, and all the demand needed to release a completed version of MGS3 with all previous and unreleased single-player bonus content. Even photo camo could be easily retooled for modern platforms. New bonus content could even be made using the old multiplayer maps. Could you imagine just what we could have if the IP rights were in the hands of a competent team who actually cared about the artistry in and experience of one of the most beloved games ever made?
It's infuriating now to see Konami pretending like they care about Suikoden when we all know they're just pissed off at Eiyuuden Hero Chronicle's existence.
I'll always love David Hayter for how much he adores his audience. Very few actors and actresses are that way where they continue to interact with and entertain their fans on a daily basis decades after their performance.
David Hayter will always be Solid Snake. You taught me lessons that set in time and time again for years of my life about being an individual, about how big industries work, about passion for art, and how oppressive the world can be. Also commenting for the algorithm because I saw that post that they wanted this video to have another shot. It's a good one and love David's hosting on this channel every time. Bring him back for every MGS video and more!
What’s harder to believe? All these unknown facts coming to light? Or the Fact that the Legendary Solid Snake is narrating which makes some of us wonder if there is a hidden truth behind this video. p.s. Thank you David for helping out in this video. I could imagine Snake doing narration. Maybe the next video is DYKG: The Real Ending of MGS V??
MGS2 is still my favorite of the series, and it's been absolutely wild watching the events of the plot all but play out IRL. Censorship, information control, government fearing loss of control, the internet becoming a walled garden...
Social networks becoming methods of social control via dissemination of misinformation and incomplete, malformed opinions (AI-Rose: "No one is right - but neither is anyone invalidated.") and on and on. If we were really paying attention, MGS2 should have scared the shit out of everyone who played it. We were distracted by LOL WUT I NEED SCISSORS! 61!
I had the VR missions , this is what I spent everyday during summer doing , I played them on my dads original copy of ps1 metal gear , it had that option in the menu , that’s why I convinced my dad to pick it up when they released a stand alone. VR missions is what trained me for my “no kill” runs on mgsv , I will probably get a mgs2 tattoo , that’s my favorite metal gear game , even though raiden isn’t that great , snake is where it’s at. Love metal gear , and thank you for all involved , best game ever made since playstation 1
The scary thing is that if the world ends, thanks to his 30 years of survivalist training in the name of art, Kojima is going to be leading a survivor community. His own Mother Base.
Man these are some good ones. That original pitch for MGS4 seemed to become Death Stranding. And even that it's small scale compared to the original pitch. Damn I wish we got to see the A,B,C wars in MGS4 and also being rehashed and improved in MGSV. It's heartbreaking. That made the MGS4 feel so alive.
Mark Hamill is the voice of many people's childhood, David Hayter is mine. Thank you for your time, talents, and continued passion in voice acting. Thank you to DidYouKnowGaming for all of the research and bringing in the Legendary Solid Snake himself.
Working for Kojima sounds like one of the most chaotic experiences ever. Hey guys, i think MGS6 should take place in a hellhole country filled with crime. And then the entire staff is sent to one for research and end up getting shot, mugged or kidnapped.
This was a fun watch, hearing David Hayter himself narrating this and adding his own interjections was the icing on the cake. The MGS fan community is doing a better job celebrating the series' 35th anniversary better than Konami themselves, lol.
Wow, while it looked like a lot of effort went into making sure Kojima didn't get too derailed with some of his more fantastical ideas, he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general. Him and his team were some incredibly talented and dedicated people (from the lengths they went to to learn more about what they were making, etc.).
"he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general." No he didn't. All those ideas are terrible. A realistic, simulated jungle, instead of just good level design? It adds nothing to the game because players are there for the spy fantasy, not horticulture, but it makes the hardware requirements go way up. A game that makes your room smell like blood by melting paint inside your console? Jesus Christ dude, no, I don't want my video game stinking up my house, and I don't want melted paint in my console. His ideas are expensive and bad, and the fact that they couldn't be done saved his career over and over. Fortunately, the parts of his ideas that were good, like making a Hollywood action movie into a game, were also achievable and fun.
I was 2 mins into the video and the whole time I was like “this guy does a good David Hayter impression” until I looked at the comments and what’dya know, its actually the man himself
Halfway into the video, I'm like: "Did you know? Kojima also wanted Jesus of Nazareth to be an an optional boss in MGS5, claiming to be the true mastermind of the entire series. Unfortunately the PS4 wasn't strong enough to fully flesh out this idea,"
God, the more I learn about Kojima, the stupider I think he is. He always has entirely unrealistic expectations of everything. Like absolutely no grasp on reality at all.
Music List: MGS3 - Main Theme MGS1 - Discovery MGS2 - Tanker Infiltration MGS2 - Arsenal's Guts MGS2 - Main Titles MGS2 - Dead Crew MGS3 - Surfing Guitar Jungle Ambience (no, really) MGS3 - Title Screen and CQC Theme MGS3 - Life's End MGS3 - Salty Catfish MGSPO - Intro MGSPO - Research Lab MGS4 - Love Theme MGS4 - Old Snake MGS4 - Father and Son MGS4 - Gekko MG Revengeance - Main Menu MG Revengeance - Ambushed (Montenegro) MGS Integral - Discovery Briefing Files MGS1 - The Best Is Yet To Come
Of course all the research and writing is incredible, but it's hard to not have David Hayter steal the show here. Thanks so much for the video, 40 min went by in a flash.
I hope we get another traditional Metalgear game. If they do make a new one I'm actually hoping that it's not open world. I never finished Phantom pain because it was too big and repetitive. Metalgear is a series I prefer to be on a smaller scale rather than big open areas.
Love these videos man and Hayter too. But oh yes, cover Rising please. I remember that old trailer, the music and the style. It's something that wasn't talked about
I love how kojima wants to do ideas not because they fit some game design principle but because they're just cool. That's how you make a game that doesn't feel like other games

I mean there are child soldiers, losing limbs then hunting your enemy till you lose yourself in the process and your humanity,washed up dead bodies in a polluted factory because of experiments with a parasite, a rape scene, the whole part with Huey which is just deplorable, Venom snake forced to kill his own soldiers, the wounds of colonialism and its aftermath ; not to mention the countless tapes one of which is a sort of rendition of The Rwandan Genocide. This game is dark, perhaps it's more subtle in its bleakness but I think follows perfectly the line introduced in Ground Zeroes
@@oniricuncle "But TPP is dark. I mean there are child soldiers..."
The problem is it doesn't fit. The game is too silly for those heavy themes. The bad guy's name is Skull Face. This is seriously Adam West Batman levels of camp. And oh my god, I just realized Quiet (aside from being a woman who looks hot and can't talk) is like a combination Poison Ivy and Catwoman. And those ridiculous prosthetic fist weapons...They could literally cast Adam West's Batman as the hero and this wouldn't get less silly.
Needed this just at this moment! Thank you.
Looking cool Joker
The little bits of personality you guys let Hayter interject into this made it so fun to watch.
I still wish the original MGS Rising concept could see fruition. I just always loved the idea of an inbetweenquel about Raiden going full cyborg and saving Sunny from the Patriots. Even if Platinum doesn't get to make a game out of it, I think seeing the scenario play out in the form of a comic book or something would be sick.
Nice to see it, revengeance I like it and mgs4 made me start loving Raiden as a character
With how Revengeance got popular recently and all the memes, lets hope that could convince Konami to let Platinum do another one, hell maybe they could even bring Kojima to consult with them again.
Read so much about the initial concept that raiden saving sunny is still my headcannon
@@manfreddawg I believe that particular aspect of the plot is still intended to be canon, at least as far as Kojima's intentions go.
I LOVE this so much! David is amazing! I hope him and Kojima are on good terms these days. David is an absolute legend in my books
That must have been eerie to see "My plot in the game playing out in real life"
Kojima: WE NEED TO CANCLE THIS GAME OR ELSE THE AMERICANS ARE GOING TO BE PISSED ABOUT 9/11!
The US fan base: WHY AM I PLAYING THIS PRETTY BOY TWIIIIIIIIIIIINK!
americans had no taste back then smh
Kojima looked for any opportunity just so he could stop working on mgs.he hated the franchise so much man .
@@freshnesbro3792 he didn't hate it, he wanted to pass the torch to his subordinates but no one want it.
@@yrh002b8 He hated it, there was a video essay about it but the guy deleted it, he hated the fans and if u played mgs5 you would understand, he all fkd with us left us with the phantom pain...
Yo David hayter again. It’s insane that they’re able to get this guy. Hearing his random comments throughout is awesome
It’s not that insane, actually. Probably the hardest thing is to have them match schedules, but Hayter is a pretty chill, down-to-earth guy who shares the fans’ love for the franchise and is always up for collaborating on anything Metal Gear related… or even letting fans record him on their phones saying anything using Snake’s voice
David Hayter will always be THE BEST! He is THE Voice of Snake, no replacements, no exceptions! Thank you so much David, you're amazing!
Agreed
for solid yes, i kinda like sunderland more for big boss
@@jmgonzales7701 Agreed, especially an older Big Boss
@@nutball3756 he is the one that fits
Ppl are still malding about Reefer Sutherland, huh?
Please keep getting David Hayter for these videos. He makes them even better.
They have all the resources, all the incentive, and all the demand needed to release a completed version of MGS3 with all previous and unreleased single-player bonus content. Even photo camo could be easily retooled for modern platforms. New bonus content could even be made using the old multiplayer maps. Could you imagine just what we could have if the IP rights were in the hands of a competent team who actually cared about the artistry in and experience of one of the most beloved games ever made?
But mate, P A C H I N K O
It's infuriating now to see Konami pretending like they care about Suikoden when we all know they're just pissed off at Eiyuuden Hero Chronicle's existence.
29:23 So this is why in Death Stranding we see plants grow and die, it's an idea he's always wanted, and now he could do it.
Really appreciate you guys actually getting David Hayter to narrate these, the man is iconic! They did my boi dirty in MGSV !
I'll always love David Hayter for how much he adores his audience. Very few actors and actresses are that way where they continue to interact with and entertain their fans on a daily basis decades after their performance.
14:18 ohhhhh David just straight up flame throwing that shade daaaaaaaaaamn
The only word I can think of when I see this level of content: respect.
38:49 I love how you provided some Snake voices for Snake's sword for MGRR Mr Hayter lol
Stellar. Simply stellar. This video is a must watch for any MGS fan.
Cheers!
David Hayter will always be Solid Snake. You taught me lessons that set in time and time again for years of my life about being an individual, about how big industries work, about passion for art, and how oppressive the world can be.
Also commenting for the algorithm because I saw that post that they wanted this video to have another shot. It's a good one and love David's hosting on this channel every time. Bring him back for every MGS video and more!
David Hayter was one of the reasons I loved Snake other than Smash Brawl
I love how David willingly collabs on these videos.
What’s harder to believe?
All these unknown facts coming to light? Or the Fact that the Legendary Solid Snake is narrating which makes some of us wonder if there is a hidden truth behind this video.
p.s. Thank you David for helping out in this video. I could imagine Snake doing narration. Maybe the next video is DYKG: The Real Ending of MGS V??
Well, they weren't exactly unknown, since they were told in all of those magazine and video interviews he showed. But all in one place, now, yes!
Super appreciate DYKG having Hayter come on to do more Metal Gear stuff. I hope you guys don't replace him with another guy any time soon ;)
Next one is gonna have him replaced with Kiefer Sutherland, I’m calling it XD
Just kidding though.
😂👍
I could listen to David all day. Everything he says feels impactful, Solid Snake brainwashing.
Hearing Hayter talk about this is soothing to my soul and puts a smile on an old hero's face.
That's wild that you actually got David to narrate this. 🔥🔥
I see "ft David Hayter", I automatically like.
11:53 "....Babymaker." hahah This completed my life. I love David Hayter!
i figured he would of said 'snake' lol
@@MiBrCo4177 It's canon now. Raiden's meat is half the size of Astolfo's.
MGS2 is still my favorite of the series, and it's been absolutely wild watching the events of the plot all but play out IRL. Censorship, information control, government fearing loss of control, the internet becoming a walled garden...
Social networks becoming methods of social control via dissemination of misinformation and incomplete, malformed opinions (AI-Rose: "No one is right - but neither is anyone invalidated.") and on and on. If we were really paying attention, MGS2 should have scared the shit out of everyone who played it. We were distracted by LOL WUT I NEED SCISSORS! 61!
Yeah that was wild back then!
I had the VR missions , this is what I spent everyday during summer doing , I played them on my dads original copy of ps1 metal gear , it had that option in the menu , that’s why I convinced my dad to pick it up when they released a stand alone. VR missions is what trained me for my “no kill” runs on mgsv , I will probably get a mgs2 tattoo , that’s my favorite metal gear game , even though raiden isn’t that great , snake is where it’s at. Love metal gear , and thank you for all involved , best game ever made since playstation 1
The scary thing is that if the world ends, thanks to his 30 years of survivalist training in the name of art, Kojima is going to be leading a survivor community. His own Mother Base.
so cool you got David to do another one of these. Sounds like he had a blast recording these.
David Hayter, what a man.
Excellent stuff guys, I've absolutely loved this video. You've outdone yourselves once again!
Man these are some good ones. That original pitch for MGS4 seemed to become Death Stranding. And even that it's small scale compared to the original pitch.
Damn I wish we got to see the A,B,C wars in MGS4 and also being rehashed and improved in MGSV. It's heartbreaking. That made the MGS4 feel so alive.
35:06 they took something great from us
The naked soldier too
12:00 beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I hope Kojima one day will make a MGS2 uncut edition
Mark Hamill is the voice of many people's childhood, David Hayter is mine. Thank you for your time, talents, and continued passion in voice acting. Thank you to DidYouKnowGaming for all of the research and bringing in the Legendary Solid Snake himself.
All these ideas that Kojima couldn’t do could definitely be done in this day and age. That would be beautiful to see a fully imagined MGS
I would imagine something like ARMA but with a wild story and spiritual spooky elements.
Respect to David Hayter to doing this even after the whole MGSV fiasco. Such a legend
Hey Hayter remember when you lost to Quartering?
Why did you work with Bryan Singer on X-Men?!?!?!/
@@abrahamicreligionsbowbefor3585 huh
@@abrahamicreligionsbowbefor3585 No one can lose to Quartering because the dude is an abject failure
@@abrahamicreligionsbowbefor3585 Are you lost?
MGSV sucked anyway, and I still want my money back. Thankfully, playing that shit story kept me from being tricked into buying metal gear survive
I actually did not know that you had to shoot the boss manually, I thought that snake just does it himself
I’m the other way around. I didn’t even know it happens automatically. I figured you had to do it yourself
He really did make his simulation world with death stranding 🤯
The fact that David Hayter genuinely enjoys us fans nerdy obsession with MGS makes me very happy.
Working for Kojima sounds like one of the most chaotic experiences ever.
Hey guys, i think MGS6 should take place in a hellhole country filled with crime.
And then the entire staff is sent to one for research and end up getting shot, mugged or kidnapped.
This was a fun watch, hearing David Hayter himself narrating this and adding his own interjections was the icing on the cake.
The MGS fan community is doing a better job celebrating the series' 35th anniversary better than Konami themselves, lol.
They did David dirty with MGS5
Man that shark boss battle sounds so cool.
David very clearly had a lot of fun with this.
I love these Metal Gear videos. The last one about the nuclear disarmament in MGSV was incredible, as was this one.
Amazing content as usual, and as always great to hear more commentaries from David Hayter.
Wow, while it looked like a lot of effort went into making sure Kojima didn't get too derailed with some of his more fantastical ideas, he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general. Him and his team were some incredibly talented and dedicated people (from the lengths they went to to learn more about what they were making, etc.).
"he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general."
No he didn't. All those ideas are terrible. A realistic, simulated jungle, instead of just good level design? It adds nothing to the game because players are there for the spy fantasy, not horticulture, but it makes the hardware requirements go way up. A game that makes your room smell like blood by melting paint inside your console? Jesus Christ dude, no, I don't want my video game stinking up my house, and I don't want melted paint in my console. His ideas are expensive and bad, and the fact that they couldn't be done saved his career over and over. Fortunately, the parts of his ideas that were good, like making a Hollywood action movie into a game, were also achievable and fun.
@@TheMisterGuy "Made sure he didn't get too derailed by his more fantastical ideas"
Can you fucking read?
I was 2 mins into the video and the whole time I was like “this guy does a good David Hayter impression” until I looked at the comments and what’dya know, its actually the man himself
Halfway into the video, I'm like:
"Did you know? Kojima also wanted Jesus of Nazareth to be an an optional boss in MGS5, claiming to be the true mastermind of the entire series. Unfortunately the PS4 wasn't strong enough to fully flesh out this idea,"
God, the more I learn about Kojima, the stupider I think he is.
He always has entirely unrealistic expectations of everything.
Like absolutely no grasp on reality at all.

Of course all the research and writing is incredible, but it's hard to not have David Hayter steal the show here. Thanks so much for the video, 40 min went by in a flash.
I hope we get another traditional Metalgear game. If they do make a new one I'm actually hoping that it's not open world. I never finished Phantom pain because it was too big and repetitive. Metalgear is a series I prefer to be on a smaller scale rather than big open areas.
Love these videos man and Hayter too. But oh yes, cover Rising please. I remember that old trailer, the music and the style. It's something that wasn't talked about
I love how kojima wants to do ideas not because they fit some game design principle but because they're just cool. That's how you make a game that doesn't feel like other games
We have David reading the lines for Revengeance's Snake Sword, now let's wait someone to mod it in
