Iconic Actor Leads Returning Cast of Voice Talent for Highly Anticipated PLAYSTATION®3 System Debut of the Legendary Metal Gear Solid Series

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced that iconic actor David Hayter will lead an all-star cast of returning voice talent in the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. Continuing his commitment to the series and character he helped to define, Hayter will provide the voice for an aging and exhausted Solid Snake in the latest chapter of Hideo Kojima's legendary tactical espionage action video game series.

Returning to voice Solid Snake in an original script by Hideo Kojima and Shuyo Murata, David Hayter will be joined by returning voice actors Quinton Flynn, Paul Eiding and Christopher Randolph who will continue their work as the voices of Raiden, Roy Campbell and Hal 'Otacon' Emmerich, respectively.

In addition to his well known voice work in the Metal Gear Solid series, Hayter is an accomplished Hollywood script writer, having penned the original screenplays for box office hits such as X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and the upcoming Black Monday. Kris Zimmerman will also return to the Metal Gear Solid series to direct the voice acting sessions for the game.

"I couldn't be more excited about this game. What I've seen of Metal Gear Solid 4 has absolutely blown me away. To bring the focus of the story back to Solid Snake, and to work with Kris Zimmerman and many of the amazing actors that provided iconic voices for the previous games, is like coming home," said David Hayter. "I'm so proud and grateful to have been involved with Mr. Kojima as the voice of Snake, for nearly a decade, on this legendary video game series. This game is going to plunge players into the ultimate Metal Gear experience. And personally, I can't wait to play it."

Cool, David Hayter does good work. It would be weird having someone else voice Snake.

Can't say I'm that excited for MGS4, but it'll be good to have it on the Xbox 360.

No surprise. The man is the man.

And that is why I am against a MGS movie - no David Hayter - no dice.

Then again looking at the guy, I dont blame the studios staying away from Hayter. Snake is suppose to look badass....not like a pussy.

Never really liked MGS series. No idea who David Hayter is either, so prolly not even gonna think about this game the least bit.

I love the MGS series. I have every game in the series, including Acid 1 and 2. I expect MGS 4 to blow every other game away when it released. It has always been my number one reason for wanting a PS3 and if it remains exclusive then I will without hesitation drop $600 on the PS3.



Edit: Contrary to popular belief, Splinter Cell can't touch Metal Gear Solid.

I love the MGS games. I am very excited for MGS4. If MGS4 is exclusive to PS3, I will eventually get a PS3 (well for that and God of War which I'm sure will go to PS3).

I am glad that this dude is returning to voice Solid Snake. I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it.

God of War III has been already hinted by David Jaffe. So yea, expect a PS3 version easily.

Right now he is focused on God of War for the PSP, its a completely new game to the series, not a remake of the original.
