What do you mean?

Hope we aren’t in store for 6 hours of cutscenes and 4 hours of gameplay like MGS4. It would be great if cutscenes are almost non-existent in this.

You're right, he didnt replace David Hayter. He threw him to the curb in his rush to get Kiefer Sutherland to take over a role that David Hayter had been doing for over 10 years. He didnt even have the decency to give the man a call saying, hey we are going with a different actor this time around. Being a decent human being costs you nothing, but he got his instant karma when Konami kicked him to the curb and preceded to step all over him.

No one needs Kojima to legitimize anything. Gaming is bigger and better than it has ever been. He is simply making his game, his own way. Nothing more, nothing less.

No that decision to replace him was a kojima decision. Ever Sense the first metal gear solid game kojima always wanted a high profile Hollywood actor, David has even said that Kojima has tried to replace him in the past.

They were trying to replace him in three and it happened again in four.

While Konami is. Without a question of the doubt responsible for some really bad decisions, We shouldn’t be turning a blind eye and thinking that everything bad that happened with metal gear solid five was strictly on them

Kojima did wanted to create a Silent Hill game with Norman Reedus and Guillermo del Toro. But Konami decided to cancel it for their “own” reason. That caused the fan and Guillermo del Toro himself got angry about it.

few things are more cring-worthy than bad voice acting. I thank the heavens for these high-end actors. Especially now-a-days with all the mo-cap. It's incredibly important in narrative for immersion to have great acting. In a "you get what you pay for" world, i'm happy to know Death Stranding will have top talent from the narrative side. With Sony backing DS, I'm sure there was enough in the Budget for the dev team and the actors. If you cheap out on the actors - you simply don't get as good of acting. It breaks the immersion or at least dampers what it could be. It's a new IP... one of their featured exclusives, I'm sure the Budget is somewhat near Kojima's vision of what will be his most closely analyzed title of his career.

I am not sure how much of a studios staff are members of the screen actors guild. The actors for mocap and voice over are members. But are animators and programmers? I don't know. But I do agree that spending millions for a recognizable face in a game feels unnecessary.

Interesting read, but I think we all think they get something closer to Hollywood voice actors but a little less. I wonder if their names bring in that much extra money for the famous actors. I am sure mo cap will add to that expsense as well. I also know, a lot of "famous" actors like do video games because it is a passion project. They also grew up wth video games so they want to be a part of that as well.

I am would be curious to know the actual answer.

Haha these guys are so fanboy their playing accountant. The trailer looks crazy and dope, and the actors have nice faces. Works for me.

Ray Liotta is perfect.

Nah, it's a modern Nintendo game.

Nah, it's Uncharted 4. You make your own pacing in Elder Scrolls games and I, personally, can see its charm (coming from non ES series fan)

@Obelisk92 ...Get out. Nintendo is one of few who still remember that games are meant to be fun, not interactive movies for lazy casuals.
