    I wish the release date was here, but I’m happy for Kojima all the way! Anyway, who here agrees that if they were to remake MG 1 & 2. Then Kiefer would voice Big Boss and David would voice Solid Snake?

      I agree definitely about the voices. But the big questions are, will he do it after Silent Hills and how many years we gotta wait for possible MG remakes :(.

      That would be a dream come true though…but not sure do he want to remake what started it all. I can imagine how epic it could be …

      I can roll with that, though I’d prefer Richard Doyle to play Big Boss again. That 30th anniversary is coming up so expect something

      I really don’t much about the VA aspect. I doubt he would use the old guy for solid in a future game, that’s only because the same stuff still applies. Motion capture, getting too old to play a man in his twenties. Usually when a game changes VA, they don’t revert back to the old. I hope they get a new guy , known or unknown , it matters not, unless they are jerks and don’t care about being perfect.
      I just don’t understand why this bothers people. Things change all the time. one thing people do say is why didn’t the Japanese change? I read somewhere that it’s bad luck to replace actors/voice actors with others, or is just distasteful. Idk. What I do know is that here in the west , that don’t bother us because some of the best franchises have been played by multiple people.
      I’m all for change.

        I’m surprised it’s never been rebooted/remade for modern audiences.

          It was, with the 3rd Birthday on the PSP, it was a lot more “reboot” than sequel to me, anyway.

          • More like “Death” than a reboot to say the least , they were trying to kill the franchise in anyway , gamers needs to unite to tell SE that we need this franchise to comeback

      Vib Ribbon is a game that doesn’t get nearly enough love.
