A question after every statement? Grunts? I dunno. I rather keep the serious tone with this one.

David Hayter tended to be too hammy in his rendition of Solid Snake. I wouldn't mind having him back if he toned it back a little bit. Going back and playing MGS1-4 really show how terribly David Hayters portrayal of Solid Snake has aged

It's gotten to the point where I could care less about this game. I think we're going on year 3 now? It's just too long for me to stay hyped and not even get a release date yet.

You sound like the XV crowd. Wait until you get that release date and trailer. The hype will return.

Dude, the release date is probably within a few months if strong rumors are to be believed.

Nah the true FFXVersus fanbase faith hasn't waivered in 9 years, extremely hype for the demo.

Man you guys are dedicated lol. I hope the game is great since I was a diehard FF fan for years but god I just don't care about it at all until it comes out

I'll admit my faith for the game drifted off a couple years ago to the point thinking the game is just vaporware. The latest updates we've been getting lately, whew. Back on the train.

This is my main concern, especially after seeing that trailer (or maybe it was an E3 demo) in the desert where Ocelot is talking and talking to Big Boss and it keeps looking like he's gonna say something back, but instead he just looks back and forth and concentrates on his hand.
Which sort of feels like someone said, well we couldn't get Sutherland to voice this part so how about we turn Troy Baker into an exposition machine since he's more affordable than Sutherland, and our animator will do his best to make it look like Big Boss is listening and understanding.
Whilst I agree the performance got weird, there was a video recently that proves David Hayter can still do the MGS1 snake voice.

I just care for XV though! My fav FF is VIII ;P I hope the game turns out to be good.
It's gotten to the point people want Tabata to stop doing active reports so frequently lol weird times.
Man I hope we get TPP SE on wed.
He does a great Solid Snake. Then they tried to make him do something different yet similar with BB and failed.

You COULD care less? So, you still care a little then?

I think Hayter is probably gone for good. Even if he wasn't, I don't imagine they would pull a charade this long just to spill the beans before the game actually releases.
Yeah pretty much. Even if Hayter is in, Kojima wouldn't have done all of this in the past 2 years only to go "yeah btw Hayter is in" just a few months prior to release.

Yep Hayter is absolutely gone and even if he wasn't they wouldn't reveal it like this.

I saw some grungy dude in a bar a few weeks ago wearing a jean vest jacket with "I could fucking care less" embroidered on the back... Dude thought he was David Hayter Old Snake Hard, Turns out he'd just smoked him self stupid.

Well,the engine is already ported to PC(GZ), so it's not something that would take time.
It's kind of beautiful that the fans have made Hayter part of the game all on their own. Throughout the first playthrough, there will be a certain buzz. A whiff of David Hayter in the air.
Then the sadness. We'll all be there when the credits roll and Hayter doesn't show up. It will be a very memorable moment of MGSV which Kojima won't have even intended as Director.
Our moment. Hayter's moment.

Fuckin Hell whatever this is its gonna drop at 6 am...
Guess I really should get started on all this homework
Guess I really should get started on all this homework
i believe high, for a number of factors.
the steamdb entry is still getting updated every couple of months, so we know it's in active development and having the build updated, the preorder page on the mgsv website has the pc version front and centre with the console versions (although the tab is greyed out, because you can't preorder on steam until a product has a release date), mgsv's listing on konami's financials lumped all platforms into a single slot (if they had made the decision to split the release they probably might have given the pc version a separate slot on the listing for the sake of clarity).

Do I have to play Peace Walker to understand this game? Its the only one I haven't played
To understand it? No.
You need to know the story of PW. There's a lot of text you can read in GZ to fill you in, or you can check a wiki. Either way you'll be missing a lot if you don't know PW's story.

If you've got the time, its definitely worth playing (get the HD collection version if you want the best experience).
I believe Ground Zeros has casette tapes that go over most of the story. You've played or plan on playing GZ... right?
Most of PW's plot is irrelevant to Phantom Pain. All you have to do is play Ground Zeroes and consult the tapes, which do some work of establishing the characters and their motivations for people who didn't play Peace Walker.

Disagree, PW gives way more context to Chico and Paz than just those tapes.
But to "understand" Ground Zeroes, you don't need it.
I mean, you'll "feel" the story more because you've been following the characters longer, but it's not like he will feel lost if he plays it or something.
People won't understand the significance of
Mother Base nor Big Boss' army that got totally ass fucked at the end of GZ.
Has Kojima said this? GZ would have been borderline incomprehensible without some knowledge of PW's story.
I hope so. That'll be the only CE I buy this year if they announce a LE with the red arm.

Despite loving the series, Peace Walker felt like a chore to play. I ended up watching this on Youtube and yes, it's important know what happens.

Um no,
His Solid Snake has always been good.
The direction he was given made him change his voice for MGS3(which is when the "OTT bad acting" started.)
After that we got Old Snake and he was made to try matching that god awful version of Solid(Old Snake sucked in every aspect)
Finally he has to go back to the Big Boss voice yet age it up as well and try to make it more of a finalized Big Boss voice.
Hayter's best voice and acting is MGS1 which is closest to his regular voice.
The material and direction is what has ruined the voice.
Especially with the way he has been handling this. He's burned all bridges.
Yup, although MGS1 Snake is GOAT. With MGS2 you can start to hear the stressing of the "rrrr's" and more gravel which only increased with each role. By the time we get to Peace Walker he's in full parody mode. But, MGS1 Snake was so damn good the perfect mixture of an ice cold delivery with an light gravely tone.
EDIT:
One of my favorite pieces of delivery from MGS1:
