Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater – Snake’s Voice Actor Would Have Liked to Re-Do His Lines

One explanation for the favorable reviews received by Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is due to its use of several voiceovers similar to those in the highly praised 2004 release. David Hayter, who voices Naked Snake, expressed some dissatisfaction in an interview with Inverse, as he didn’t get a chance to re-record many of the lines from the original game.

As a seasoned gamer looking back, I’ve gotta say, playing the iconic character once again for the remake was like stepping into a pair of well-worn shoes – comfortable yet exciting. With twenty years under my belt since the original release, I can confidently admit that my acting skills have significantly evolved. So, when given the chance to reprise this legendary role, I felt compelled to infuse some of that hard-earned experience and wisdom from all those years in the gaming world into my portrayal.

He admitted that he believes his acting skills have improved since then, adding, “To be honest, if I could redo those old performances with the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the past two decades, it would have been amazing. However, it’s crucial that the quality of acting doesn’t suddenly jump for the characters, or else it might feel strange and disrupt the game.

Similar to numerous fans of the Metal Gear series, Hayter considers his portrayal of Snake as one of his most significant roles, and he has expressed interest in participating in any upcoming Metal Gear projects if given the opportunity.

Whenever they need me to take on the role of Snake, I’m all for it. This character is pivotal in my gaming life; he’s deep, complex, and multifaceted, with Big Boss being no exception. Every time the opportunity arises, I’m ready to dive in.

Previously, Hayter hinted at the prospect of carrying on the Metal Gear series post-launch of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. He acknowledged that the new installments might not mirror the series’ original style under Hideo Kojima, but he emphasized their potential to be equally impressive.

Earlier this month, Hayter made it clear that what’s coming won’t be identical to Kojima’s original work. It can’t capture his unique brilliance, oddness, or particular character in an exact sense. Just as I adored Tim Burton’s Batman as a kid and felt it was the perfect portrayal, only to appreciate Chris Nolan’s version later on, saying that what’s coming will be exactly the same is incorrect. However, there’s potential for it to be incredible.

The game titled Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater serves as a comprehensive remake of the 2004 hit game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The revamped version offers players the choice to use contemporary control systems, along with visually stunning graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5. However, it’s important to mention that the game will predominantly retain the original voice acting from its predecessor.
