NEWS: Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater Game Previewed in New Trailer

Listening to the audio, it seems to confirm what Konami said about retaining the recordings for the original for this game. I'm kind of mixed on that. On the one hand, it avoids any potential alterations to the script and performances, but on the other hand, it's a pretty easy way for Konami to save money. I met the actor who played Ocelot, and he said that he hoped that they would get to come back for this, and I didn't have it in me to tell him that it sounded like Konami was just going to reuse the old recordings.

I suppose this leads into the question around residuals for voice acting in games. A lot of MGS3 is being remade, and Konami even saw fit to distinguish it with a different title, and will obviously be selling it as a new game. But the actors probably won't see anything since their part isn't "new."
