Snake's Japanese Voice Actor Once Vowed Not to Return Without Kojima, but Now He Wants Konami to Make Another Metal Gear

Akio Otsuka, the Japanese voice of Solid Snake and several other versions of the character, has noticeably softened his old stance on Metal Gear. After Hideo Kojima left Konami, Otsuka once said he did not want to work on the series without its creator.Now Otsuka says Konami should make another Metal Gear game, even if Kojima is busy with his own projects.His reasoning is fairly simple: fans want another game, and the series should not disappear just because its creator has moved on. His comments do not confirm that a new Metal Gear is in development, but the change in attitude is still a pretty striking 180.
