1998 overall was an amazing year for storytelling in video games, you had Metal Gear Solid of course but you also had games like Half-Life and Fallout 2. While of course aiming for different experiences than Metal Gear Solid all three helped contribute to the idea that video games can have better stories.
Got to meet him this past weekend at FanExpoSF. Super nice and down-to-earth. Got a photo, autograph and personalized recording with him. Also met Cam Clarke too(Liquid Snake). 😊❤
I think Solid Snake ending up different than Big Boss is mostly due to nurture more than nature. David (Solid Snake) was raised by many people. He didn't have a beloved mentor like The Boss, and didn't suffer the same ways as John did. I think in terms of personality there are similarities to them. Both say the exact same thing about how they've "never been interested in other peoples lives", and both has an interest in dog sleds. In some sense it's like Solid Snake and Naked Snake shared a similar if not the same soul, but at some point a deviation occurred, due to the different types of trauma and overall experiences they went through. And Solid Snake was never put in a position of leadership. He never had to be responsible for the lives of hundrets of men under his command. So really i don't see Solid Snake having a stronger will than Big Boss. Great interview man. Thanks.
Perhaps, but at the same time Big Boss never was a child soldier like Solid Snake was. In fact Big Boss didn't have the whole "Never been interested in other people's lives" mindset in MGS3 SE that Solid Snake had in MGS1. Solid Snake Has suffered the loss of people to get to that point as well. Mainly in MG2 Solid Snake. Gustava Heffner being a big loss that comes to mind. There is also the fact that Big Boss is literally the reason Solid Snake even HAS the trauma he had in MGS1 thanks to what he did prior to and during the events of BOTH MG1 and MG2 Solid Snake. And then what eventually cause him to actually commit to the Boss's will more than Big Boss did by starting the NGO with Otacon in MGS2 Sons Of Liberty and going forward with it in MGS4 Guns Of The Patriots and he doesn't even KNOW who the Boss is. I'm sorry but Solid Snake definitely has the stronger will than Big Boss does to me.
Solid snake did have a stronger will if not just as equal even though he was never a leader that commanded an army , he killed off his best friend in combat at Zanzibar but ended up being saved an turned later into cyborg ninja ,and who he thought was his father but was actually venom snake , and making it his sole purpose to destroy metal gears and save thousands of lives while being framed in the media after the tanker incident
@@Xxandrew01 I would figure that Big Boss would have being a child soldier in his background, considering the fact that it's made perfectly clear that war is all he's ever known. At the very least, he was a adolescent soldier
@@Xxandrew01 Big Boss literally said that he has never been interested in other peoples lives in MGS3. And using Gustava Heffner as a "big loss" example makes no sense. He literally just knew her for a day. Not for over a decade as John (Naked Snake) knew The Boss. And then was forced to kill her. And Solid Snake was never a child Soldier, so get your facts straight. Eli was.
Some great questions here, follow through needs some work. Don't just go down the list, try to make them flow together. Just a little critique, keep up the good work!
❤ my life long hero , youve been a part of my life for close to 30 years David i will cherish the memories of playing metal gear with my father always, thank you so much
Great interview. I would have liked to ask David his thoughts and opinions on if video games like Metal Gear can give people and players any real-world benefit/value. Also, what the best counterargument is to when someone says videogames are a waste of time. And if it can really be worth immersing oneself in these small universes for weeks on end for completions sake.
AWESOME interview. It comes off as way more personal than promotional...although you missed the one question I've *always* wanted asked; _Is Solid Snake's real name based on Kojima's original idea or was is inherited by David Hayter?_
Ahh but come one David Hayter, we all know though that Big Boss didn't just turn for the sake of MGS3. We then have him captured captured and again cheated by Zero after putting differences aside and helping him, to find he stole your DNA to continue the Clone Project which he had already shut Para Medic down on. Then Les Enfants Teribles project to use as insurance if Big Boss would refuse to continue this IDOLIC SYMBOL of his which he knew of from the end of MGS3 his mission to kill The Boss. You then go off on your own and your set up again, but your made to beleive its Cypher ran by Zero but over powered by Skull Face that attacked his base putting him in a 9 year coma. Then when you wake up as Venom and it leaks Cypher tries as Big Boss again. Zero needed ending no matter what, its just a shame that Snake was lured into Zanzibar land by those against him and Zero gains his ICON enduring Big Boss remains comatosed JD System.... so we now can add that Zero forced him into a coma for years. Luckily it was also part of his plan and could entrust the only one loyal person he knew wouldn't betray him, Ocelot. As he uses snake to do the work for him, they manage to end the patriot system, free Big Boss so he can end Zero. End of the day Big Boss didn't have to explain any of this to Snake, but he owed it to him to explain and to live on as a free man, or he could have just walked away after killing Zero and live on as he knew of FoxDie and how it would kill him. And as for Snake I definitely agree about him as a character but also that he is also more like The Boss and what her ideologies actually were. Maybe Big Boss saw this in him where he couldn't in Solidus or... well definitely not in Liquid.
What i really wanted to know is his view on X-men dark pheoneix and the fact the Writing and narative flow was so fake and emotionally perverted like all the x-men where incapable of controling their feelings they had to argue about everything and it was werird like a mind virus took the franchise over and ran it head first in to the ground. I would love to see a GUYVER REBOOT if Hayter scripts it but not many producers are intrested in the "arc" because it's such a meta arc like Devilman/guyver could be the same narative but seen perspectivly diffrent one being demons the other alien mutants. i however do think Guyver NEEDs a reboot to just kick DC in the balls over Bluebeetle Plagrism (damn even used a prop from 5th element) but there is V that 5 being used over n over revolving aournd some fracnchises.
you all forgot what happened to Hideo Kojima. yet you all fall to a corp reselling you a game that screwed over the original creators and og writers and engineers. you all are why there isnt anything that happens.
A man whose voice shaped my childhood!
What does this mean when people say it? It's said so much I feel it's lost it's meaning.
An absolute legend.
He's my favourite actor and screenwriter because he was my favourite videogame characters and he wrote my favourite CBMs of all time. What a legend.
Amazing to hear him talk. Hes still up there as one of the greatest voices for a game ever as for as im concerned.
David is a true hero. Always has been, always will be

Great interview, congratulations! Metal Gear Solid and Kojima owe so much to David Hayter.

I believe that Snake might have the same recessive gene that allowed BB to even feel empathy😮

Just discovered your channel, great interview!
I appreciate the metal gear solid questions. Great to hear that David himself likes to play MGS3
Great interview. Thanks so much!
you smashed it with the interview! thanks for the upload
❤ my life long hero , youve been a part of my life for close to 30 years David i will cherish the memories of playing metal gear with my father always, thank you so much
A legend his voice is FUCK8NG AMAZING ❤
While at times the interview seemed shaky. I felt like you did a good job rebounding and getting a few good questions in. Good stuff my man!
imagine the person that saw the potential in david at just 9 years old. asked him for a autograph that would increase in value over the next 30 years
I didn’t know watching Mitch Hedberg interviewing Solid Snake would be so cool
The REAL Big Boss
Great interview. I would have liked to ask David his thoughts and opinions on if video games like Metal Gear can give people and players any real-world benefit/value. Also, what the best counterargument is to when someone says videogames are a waste of time. And if it can really be worth immersing oneself in these small universes for weeks on end for completions sake.
You need somebody else to awnser that question for you?
@@sumstuff6956 I suppose not but I would have liked to hear David's opinion on the subject
I feel like he would have the same rational answer as most - "if you are having fun, you're not wasting your time".
Hopefulness and Resilience in tough situations and tough times is the biggest real-world benefit.
@@takeshinakamura4543 agreed!
Love the interview. Love David. Thanks.
How do you not have thousands of subscribers? I see a ton of interviews with the most legendary legends. Great stuff, keep it up
This is great David is so chill👍🏻
This was great. Thank you
AWESOME interview. It comes off as way more personal than promotional...although you missed the one question I've *always* wanted asked; _Is Solid Snake's real name based on Kojima's original idea or was is inherited by David Hayter?_
iirc Snake is named David because Ottacon is named Hal. Kojima wanted to make a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey
Just like Solid Snake David also has a soft heart. Great interview 👍
this reminds me of that bit live-action scene in MGS 4 when they are asking David H. questions like this
Let your dreams drive YOU. A message of hope to today's youth from David Hayter. *I never actually said that.*
Really great interview. Great questions.
He is the G.O.A.T!!!!
i love him so much S2
All hail the one true Boss
Loved him as Bernie in GUNDAM 0080
Awesome performance ❤
remember when david hayter was guyver
Great interview! 👌
Solid is a good boy, because he got the good genes from Big Boss
How did U get him? I tried to and was told he wasn't available
Kept you away from Metal Gear huh 😂 I was so sad when they replaced that iconic voice
Yeah that was so dumb
I literally didn't play the game for years cause of that until I saw a mod that brought his voice back
@literallyme961 Delta looks ok but without Kojima I feel it will lack something
@@lea-rw5cb I was talking about MGSV. But I don't think Delta will be a disappointment
This video has 9.4K views but the channel only has 101 subscribers and the video only has 490 Likes. I think The Patriots might be behind this. 🤔
"How does it taste?"
"They're rats..."
"I know what they are... how do they taste?" Lol
David, Your pretty good
The poor interviewer can't stop shaking
I think most if us would be shaking talking with David Hayter😂
David i follow you on twitter. next time your in slc i got to come stop by.
crabbattle!!
This guy is “pretty good”
Would have asked him to teach me how to do the Solid Snake.
He sounds so much like snake
Boss
Snyder cut WaTCHMEN? 5 HOURS WOULD BE COOL
