News \ David Hayter to Voice Solid Snake In Metal Gear Solid 4
Atari and Konami Digital Entertainment has announced that 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. Hayter will voice Solid Snake in an original script by Hideo Kojima and Shuyo Murata, and is joined by returning voice actors Quinton Flynn, Paul Eiding and Christopher Randolph who reprise their roles as the voices of Raiden, Roy Campbell and Hal ‘Otacon’ Emmerich, respectively.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is Kojima Productions’ first game for PLAYSTATION 3. Set in a world overrun by private military companies (PMCs), wars are no longer fought over nations or ideologies. Instead, they are overseen by ambitious PMCs. Thus, joined by a familiar cast of characters, Solid Snake must once again return to the battlefield to confront a life-long rival who is manipulating wars from the one world which soldiers will always have a place …
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 on this legendary video game series for nearly a decade. This game is going to plunge players into the ultimate Metal Gear Solid experience. And personally, I can't wait to play it.”
David Hayter will be a special guest on The Kojima Productions Report podcast on March 29th to discuss his involvement with the Metal Gear Solid series and his approach to portraying a very different Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 4. The podcast is available for download at the official Kojima Productions web site (http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/english/) and via the iTunes store.
