There's a new Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater trailer showing off an extensive array of the game's early cutscenes, and it looks both gorgeous and absolutely faithful to the 2004 original.
But there's just something about the old voice acting coming out of the new character models that feels a little bit weird. Metal Gear Solid Delta reuses the voice acting of the original MGS3, so all the line delivery is just as it was back in 2004.
The original Snake Eater has one of the all-time great sets of vocal performances, with just the combination of military thriller drama and campy anime shenanigans to make it all extremely memorable.
David Hayter's performance as Snake is absolutely iconic for a reason. But while the camp worked great in the slightly stylized look of the PS2 original, it looks a lot weirder coming out of a bunch of modern, highly realistic character models.
Just take a look at the trailer below. Look at when Snake starts speaking around the 0:43 mark. It's a little off, right? Part of it is the lip sync, which looked a little odd even back in 2004, owing to the weirdly miniscule mouth movements.
