@sparky_buzzsaw: Pretty sure that's already happened, and it was pretty awesome.
@ravelle: Yeah I don't know what they're doing anymore. They also offered Jim Piddock, the voice of Major Zero, an offer so insulting he had to turn down the roll.
You'd figure these guys would have their shit together in one of their biggest games. You'd be wrong.

What was so insulting about returning as Zero?

Cause I'm sure some high powered offers are really rolling in his way. Must still be living on that Skylanders: SWAP Force money.
@ravelle: It wasn't the role, it was the money. The offer, in his words, was "insulting".

That's exactly the point. They offered him so little money that he couldn't take it. They bring in guys like Troy Baker and Kiefer Sutherland and you know they are making bank, yet they couldn't even offer pocket change to the guy who's going to be playing one of the more important characters?

Oh man, that is scummy. And even more crazy considering hiring Sutherland is way more expensive than Hayter.
Oh boy! My own bumped thread!
Anyway. Since posting this a million years ago, I've become steadfast in my opinion that David Hayter is like for realz donezo with MGS. I don't believe in the ruse cruise anymore. I still believe Solid Snake will appear in some capacity, but not with David Hayter.
Kojima said Liquid would appear in Peace Walker and we'd get to see the reason he turned evil. That, as we all know, didn't happen. So, with as long as Kojima has been working on MGSV, there's a good possibility that he originally planned on including Solid Snake at some point but had to cut him out for whatever reason.
I honestly wish this was kept a secret, but oh well. I'm guessing kojima still has some tricks up his sleave (hopefully)
I think it's the curse of the long development time that causes things like this to slip. With MGS4, we knew pretty much everything about the game before it came out, so we had very little to actually learn(Aside from nanomachines), so with the reveal of all of the stuff inside of MGSV, I kind of hope they tone it down. We're learning an awful lot about this game that's most likely just going to get delayed into 2016. I don't want to know everything.
In a recent AMA on Reddit Hayter replied to one of the questions that he would love to do more Snake/Big Boss and that he was bumped out he wasn't asked for V.
Eh, I don't really buy that right now. Especially with what Hayter was tweeting before the Sutherland reveal - all the stuff about his voice feeling very raspy and the New Coke crap. Seems way too convenient. Not to mention that the Sutherland reveal itself had a bunch of weird shit in it, with Kiefer always talking about Big Boss as "the character", being dressed as Kojima, et cetera.
I might be wrong here, but some things happening around that voice change were just too weird.

Sadly, nothing out of the ordinary. It's mostly because unions don't secure residuals from game sales and due to cultural reasons it's kind of impossible for Western VAs to have the same status as seyiuu have, so they are often a) expendable and b) do not consider their work important enough to sign specific contracts. Michael Hollick, the voice actor for Niko Bellic had a lot of negative stuff to say about Rockstar and how much he was paid, which is why he refused to reprise his role in DLC, even for the short cameos his character had.
