Very coincidentally, I replayed Metal Gear Solid this week and, to my surprise, this very in-depth video from Game Informer popped up:
There are long and very in-depth interviews with most of the cast and the director, and it gives a lot of perspective on both the series, the acting decisions, the fan reaction at the time and video game voice acting in general. Also, it's the first time I heard David Hayter talk more openly about MGS V, and I was sad to hear that, even though he is a huge fan of the series, he didn't even found will to play the latest games because it would just be hard for him. He even says he don't think he would work with Kojima again, as he thinks Kojima handled too poorly the MGS V situation (and also clarifies that Kojima tried to replace him before, even as back as in MGS3). Hayter was always one of the main forces behind the series, even doing everything he could to guarantee that the same voice actors would redo their voices for Twin Snakes, so it's sad to know that Kojima/Konami just ignored him for the last game. Anyway, it's still nice to know he remembers fondly his experiences recording the previous games, so it seems that he accepted his situation as something not uncommon on his line of work (as much as it sucks).
