Voice acting in MGS is very good. But many games this gen also have fantastic Voice Acting. Red Dead Redemption, Assassin's Creed, Dead Space... the list goes on.

Overall I like the voice acting in MGS series the best, but I like the ones in Uncharted as well. Other good ones are ME 1&2 DAO, and The Witcher 2, never played the 1st one so no idea about that one. Cant forget the voice acting in R* games :P

I concur. Not even Mass Effect games have the the quality of MGS4's voice acting.

I disagree, a lot of MGS4's voice acting sounds like they are "acting" or overdone.

Uncharted, Dead Space, Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption and Bioshock. Just a few off the top of my head. There are plenty more.

Really? I think his voice acting is absurdly overdone and he sounds constipated.

What is so good about it? I mean, it's decent, but it doesn't sound particularly natural, David Hayter sounds constipated and doesn't sound at all like a real person would talk, etc.

I think Uncharted murders MGS as far as voice acting is concered. It just sounds so much more natural.

People hate first inFAMOUS's Cole for being like "Christian Bale trying to sound like Batman," when they love MGS's David Hayter. I like David Hayter, but by no means is he the best voice actor.

You've listened to Mario? 0.o


But off the top of my head, Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed, Dead Space, Mass Effect, Uncharted all have better voice acting

Edit --> Forgot about RDR and LA Noire. RDR probably has the best voice acting this gen

Maybe the butchered america ones (Which was by design I think), not the actual Korean voices though.

Even Gears of War surprisingly has decent voice acting and talent behind it.

Remove Dom and I agree with you.

nah, the actual Korean voices are so cheesy and overdone. Not to mention they speak like.... South Koreans. No NK dialects as far as I know. Maybe it's because I actually understand it so I can catch how unnatural the intonations are. EDIT: as for their English voices done by NK soldiers.... their accents sound like more Chinese.

LMAO no way. ME is not as good as it should be, given its mass (pun intended) amounts of dialog. Uncharted and MGS4 remain the best I have seen, but I recall RDR being very good.

Weren't there games in 1998 that had better voice acting than MYS? I'm thinking along the lines of Thief and Grim Fandango.

Unless MGS4 is noticeably worse in voice acting than MGS, I think you define "better" way different than I do. I've played lots of game with voice acting to rival that. Some of them came out that same generation. Plus, David Hayter is trash as Solid Snake. Everyone else in the English dub is decent enough or good but that guy tries his damndest to ruin any scene he's in. He's like Christian Bale's Batman grovel mixed with Duke Nukem, but with even less emotional range than both.
