METAL GEAR SOLID Voice Cast Reflects on Legacy in Konami Roundtable
The roundtable frames the collection as a generational handoff, with the cast noting players who grew up with the games now share them with their children, and it surfaces behind-the-scenes details like the nine-month MGS4 recording process.

Konami released a roundtable video with the English voice cast of Metal Gear Solid to mark the launch of METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.2. David Hayter, Phil LaMarr, Quinton Flynn, and Christopher Randolph joined host RogersBase to watch playthroughs and share memories. Randolph noted that players who were teenagers at release now play with their own children. Hayter revealed MGS4 voice recording took nine months, done out of order and without a script.
Hayter used the session to talk about how the series treats AI. He compared it to nuclear weapons, asking whether being able to build something means it is a good idea to do it. The lesson he drew from both games is that technology should not be developed just because it is profitable, unless its impact and dangers are fully understood.
Hayter's live-action cameo in the opening of MGS4 is preserved in the new port. The collection is out now on PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch. MGS4 and Peace Walker are sold individually, while the full collection adds Metal Gear Ghost Babel as bonus content.
