This was covered on 1up a while ago apparently but i have only just stumbled across it - a fan asking David if there were any disagreements on what he had to say/do in the metal gear maes, and after Davids quite detailed

Couldn't agree more.

Jesus, I thought you said David Hayter committed suicide in the title.

"Jesus, I thought you said David Hayter committed suicide in the title."

Not that I care much, but isn't that a spoiler in the title itself?

I'm pretty sure that this is about Metal Gear Solid 4, though."

Sorry :) allow me to elaborate

About 3 years ago there were preview videos of MGS4 and they showed old snake sat on a barrell putting a gun in his mouth and hesitating

thanks for the fucking spoilers with the topic name, asshole...

I concur. Not a spoiler.

I was looking for the trailer to back this up but its been drowned out by all the more recent ones.

Come on guys lets not be mean ^_^ it was just showing an insight onto the input voice and character actors have over the game as a final product and the emotional attatchment that they go through - and then to discuss it -no need to cuss each other out <3 we all friends here 

This is old and not a spoiler. The scene depicted in that trailer does not appear in the game.

Anyway, I agree with David that Snake shouldn't hesitate to kill himself. Just based on Solid Snake's personality in the first few games, he has that sort of attitude that when if he was faced with death, he wouldn't really care. So seeing that hesitation in the trailer seemed a little odd to me too.

Found the trailer, near the ending (10 minutes in) is the faux-suicide scene:

Woah, isn't the topic title a spoiler?

"Some stories can't be told by words"- LOL

Agreed Kojima is really losing his abbilty to tell the snake story he needs to stop.

Oh, I still don't get it, but... Okay, whatever."

"Agreed Kojima is really losing his abbilty to tell the snake story he needs to stop."

"YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T READ THIS POST IF YOU DIDN'T BEAT METAL GEAR SOLID 4

I agree with him completely. Not only do I think he's right, on that but I think Snake should have actually went through with the god damn suicide. It should have been *gun in mouth* *BANG* *credits*. Not *gun in mouth* *BANG* *fake credits* *Big Boss bullshit* The cut scene at the end with Big Boss and Snake was the only cut scene in the game where I was like "Come on...is this over yet?" I thought the whole scene was fan service and just completely ridiculous. The series should have ended with Snake committing suicide. Like Hayter said, Snake should know when it is time."

It's pretty much over...


At least Kojima can create an immersive story, that stuff is clearly on its way out."

" I agree with what David said but - I dunno... just because he has killed people doesn't mean he would neccessarily not be scared to do it to himself. That does show him to be weak like he says but, I dunno.Yeah I suppose he's right. "

It sounded more like he was saying because he has killed people he doesn't have the right to be scared to kill himself. "

 @The_Laughing_Man:  Either I didn't realise how old it was, or thought it didn't matter because there couldn't be that many threads in the MGS4 forum, maybe both.

I totally agree with the suicide scene. I felt the exact same way.

Kojima has been doing what makes for the most dramatic scene as opposed to what makes the most sense for what the character does since the beginning. He did what he did because its more dramatic than what Snake would "actually" do.
