I thought they burned every bridge. I’m assuming they’ll abuse him bc he needs a paycheck.
Kojima burnt the Hayter bridge actually, he decided he wanted a big name Hollywood actor because he wanted it to be a cinematic experience.
No, that was just the first time he actually paid attention to the English VA. Kojima never paid much attention to the English VA in the MGS games. The Japanese VA had some interesting tricks like having the Solid Snake VA also voice Solidus and then having his father voice Old Snake for MGS4 (while the original did the mo-cap).
Rumour is that Kojima never really liked Hayter as Snake. And Hayter's VA quality kept getting worse and worse. Compare his Peace Walker performance to MGS2, it's like night and day.
As to his voice quality going down, I know it's been a while since he did snake, but just watching this video I agree. Honestly, if I didn't see him, and I just heard his voice at the end, I would assume it was a different actor.
