  • he plays matt who leaves his wife in dead island

  • Raiden was a great choice when you look at the proper meaning behind the story.

  • @SHAYLUVSMJ yea I was never a fan of switching main characters.but I adjusted too,turned out good.It gave this series a "human" side with his love interest etcc

  • Didn't he also play Donatello way back when on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

  • I was mad as hell that I had to play raiden in MGS2. But I adjusted. I can't wait to play MGS: Rising. I got all of the MGS series. I'm a chick who LOVES this game...

  • 1:40, wrong. If U played MGS 2 u would know Raiden was a child soldier and has ALOT of combat experience. That's why his nickname was Jack the Ripper.

  • i cant believe he plays axel lol XD im soo thick.. haha

  • @ayanomurigu Really? You could relate to Snake? Oh wow, you must have blown a tank with a grenade then, you grumpy soldier you. :P

  • LMAO SNAKE @ the beginning! HAHAHAHAH xDDD

  • SNOP.

  • I NEED SCISSORS! SIXTY-ONE!

  • "we've managed to avoid drowning!"

  • @lucbauer agree the ''cyborg ninja'' frank jaeger alias Grey fox is the best ninja of the world

  • We've managed to avoid drowning!!

  • Lol I love the fact that Flynn KNOWS Raiden is regarded as an utter pussy. He was still a good character though, I prefered him to Solid Snake in MGS1. He can't beat Snake in MGS4 though.

  • Oh my god.

    Snopp is Swedish for dick, so.. there's nothing that's gonna dick him. Oh wow.

    Also, never a huge fan of Raiden, but apparently his voice actor has a great sense of humor so I think I like him more now.

  • Initially I was pissed at having to play as Raiden in MGS2, but after a while I got used to him...Still wanted to play as Snake though

    The only problem I ever had with him wasn't his looks, it was with his voice in MGS2, sometimes it sounded like he plugged up his nose or something :P

    Wasn't as godawful as Tidus voice in FFX though and he sounded alot better in MGS4

  • his voice is damn distinctive i would remember it even without the work in games.

  • IS GE GOING TO VOICE RAIDEN IN RISING, IF NOT ILL BE UBER PISSED

  • When I hear Quinton Flynn, all I picture is Axel in the seat saying every word hahaha!

  • <3 O//////////////O

  • I loved the original Raiden, yeah he looked a little.... feminine but he was a great character. Honestly I would say that ninja Raiden is more of a bitch. Hes all like "IT EVEN RAINED THE DAY I WAS BOOOORRRRNNNNNNN!" *cry in a corner*

  • @VulcanBaum687 Yah but when they were on the boat and he said "I am the lightning the rain transformed!" you have to admit that was pretty badass!

  • ITS KON!!!

  • Axel!

  • HEY HE PLAYS AXEL1

  • In the new MGS4 I think that Raiden has reached the same level of badass as snake is

  • @nazeres1 uhm.... no.... has he been in every game? no. all he is a ninja. snake is legendary, nuff said

  • @1123joey yeah I know that. but I just like that Kojima tried to make him more badass and show that bitch that said she wanted a less "older" man in MGS2. Which is why I'm pumped for Rising to find out how he turned out in MGS4.

  • LOL Naked Cartwheel

  • his voice makes me multiple orgasm

  • Oh god. His voice is amazing.

  • Snop: To defeat while kissing. (snog and stop)

  • Snop him..

    stop him..

    hahaha..

  • Ryan: Quinton Flynn's joining me, the voice of Raiden

    Quinton: That's right... and this is Ryan

    Ryan: Ryan...Raiden?

    Quinton: I'm Raiden, you're Ryan

    LOL

  • I remember way back when they said they would show the trailer with raiden and vamp during the e3 coverage. I watched for hours just to see that then they announced they didnt have time to broadcast all of it xD

  • Oh Shit ITs AXEL!!!

  • lol "it's hard to find people that don't like characters like this"...back when MGS2 came out, it was hard to find people who DID like him haha

  • @TwelveBridges Yeah thing is..alot of people say mgs2 is the best metal gear ever made..In my opinion MGS1 was the best because they just went all out on it

  • @BlackPrince97x totally agree with you, Metal Gear on the MSX2 & Nes was a great game, it was MGS that catapulted a successful franchise and pioneered "Stealth Action" games.

    I was a fan of Guyver Dark Hero, and when i realized that David Hayter was the voice of Snake i just couldn't believe it.

  • @aussiepinoy tell you the truth I didn't start playing MGS until MGS2 i'm 13 so I was still pretty young when MGS2 came out (I never played MGS1 or beat MGS2 until this year) And I played all the newer games before I actually played MGS1 and it was alot better than any of them I mean it was a mega down grade in graphics but Its still my favorite MGS game of all time.And I've never heard of Guyver Dark Hero so only place I know David Hayter from is MGS

  • @BlackPrince97x There right u know... MGS 2 is the best MGS...

  • @Kyle247l Not exactly, I played MGS2 before MGS1 and I still enjoyed MGS1 more

  • Why do people believe that it was his appearance and voice that made him unlikeable? Because those were not the major reasons.

    imo It had to do with his personality, which was rather weak and negative. It seemed like the character didn't want to have anything to do with being a soldier. So basically you were left with "Then why are you here Raiden?"

    I don't dislike Raiden. I just dislike that Kojima seemed to limit this character in so many ways.

  • continue...

    And then revamping him completely without any growth made it rather awkward. He went from a vulnerable young man to a killer cyborg.

    Complete 180.

  • @Decembirth Because his appearance and voice does make him unlikeable. He looks way too female, and his voice sounds like he's constantly whining. So yes those were the major reasons which is why they were the things Kojima decided to fix.

    Weak and negative personality? Being a child soldier tends to have that impact. Why's he here? I'm guessing joining the organisation Snake worked for was desired by many soldier and the fact he had nowhere else to go had. (Haven't played MGS4 if that helps)

  • I think everybody missed the whole point on Raiden's character. Raiden (in MGS2) is an example of all us guys playing action games. Don't you remember the whole thing about him saying that he beat all training simulations in VR training? Kojima gives off a subliminal message that kids who spend time playing action games increases their confidence in actually doing well in the military. The lesson that Raiden had to learn was that it is different in the battle field. As time goes by, he changes

  • LMAO! i like the beginning when he goes AHEM-HEM-HEM! COUGH* COUGH* CHOKE*

  • Rose and Raiden were poorly acted..a lot of clunky line deliveries on their part. Maybe they embraced the melodrama a bit to much. Hayter, Randolph, Zimmerman and especially Paul Eiding as the AI Colonel gave great performances. Even the Dead Cell characters and Solidus were better acted.

  • @clockstomper

    They were supposed to be though, clunky I mean - they were going through relationship issues, "losing" eachother...

  • @TwelveBridges I was talking about their line deliveries...like shouting the line "we've managed to avoid drowning!" for no reason. Stuff like that. The rest of the cast seems much more natural in the delivery of dialog. By the time MGS4 came out, Flynn was a lot better. Rosemary was about the same...

  • @clockstomper well most of the Raiden*Rose drama was all between Raiden and AI Rose.... An emotioanally unstable, damaged ex-child soldier and a computer program... no wonder it came off awkward and bad hahahha

  • i thought raiden was awesome what the hell is people's problem with him

  • wtf james bond does have a side kick every bond movie he has a new girl that is his side kick!!!

  • NOTHING WILL SNOP RAIDEN!!!!

  • RENO!

  • Don't know if u guys noticed but if you played marvel ultimate alliance 1 he voiced spider-man awesome voice actor

  • at first i hated raiden,but now i think he´s cool.

    Well...in MGS4 he is!

  • TBH, Raiden's English voice is very whiny. Raiden's Japanese voice is actually lower.

  • lol i love the intro with snake!! and i hope he plays raiden in mgs rising ... it just wouldn't be the same raiden

  • 1:52 - 1:56 sounds like ocelot

  • will quinton fynn be voiceing raiden in the new metal gear solid risen

  • @jackasskillthecow as far as we all know, yes

  • i don't think raiden was "redeemed" ... he didn't actually need redeeming in the first place. he was just disliked cuz he replaced snake(which i guess can be a valid reason). if he was given a different role, he might have been received better; people who have actually given him a chance. *I* always like raiden, anyway.. (:

  • this is not raiden thats raikov in raiden's suit!

  • Raiden was a GREAT character in MGS 2 AND HE STILL IS IN MGS 4!

  • you know, i think i like quinton flynn better as a voice actor than david hayter

  • Im so tierd of people like IT WILL REDEEM HIM i loved the ORIGNAL riaden

  • @quinnjdq Me too. MGS4 has a lot of depressing character developments.

  • I can't believe what they are saying about Raiden in MGS2 :'( ... I know he's attitude is a little... wimpy, but I think Raiden is cool, and you know what, no matter how bad something is, some one is gonna like it.

  • i love his laugh

  • David Hayter is such a bro

  • i hope in mgs rising wonce u beat the gam u could unlock mgs 4 and mgs2 outfit that would be sweet

  • what about colonel we avoided drowning

  • lol in the pic he looks the white shigeru miyamoto

  • "He'a been to hell and back and there's nothing that's gonna sno-snop him? Yeeahh.. nothing is gonna snop him."

    You can never go wrong with Mr.Flynn that you can't. ^_^

  • And now he's been to hell and back, and there's nothing that's gonna snop him! c:<

  • My first name is quintin and my middle name is flynn. So when I saw in the credits I was like, Holy Shit!

  • smoking is bad for you, snake... o.O

  • he also did keal'thas in warcraft 3

  • why is Axel doing the voice of Raiden and having an interview?

  • Is Quinton going to voiceact Raiden in Rising too?

  • @DilsDileva he was in the teaser so.. probably

  • @DilsDileva of course

  • lol at the begining it sounded like snake just took a huge hit from a blunt.

  • I could tell there was a resemblence between the voices of Axel and Raiden, I just couldn't tell much.

  • xD haha nice

  • i think the thing is, people want a character that, if in real life they could rely on, which is why characters like Snake, or Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell or Marcus Fenix from Gears of War, they are all strong cool guys that you would want next to you in a foxhole (as it were) and in MGS2 Raiden came off as young, unexperienced not as confident as snake, and NO-ONE would want their life in that kinda guys hands, but in MGS4 he's more cool, stylish etc

  • @l4dlover92 yyou know i never looked at it that way , but yeah i agree

  • @l4dlover92 but wasn't the whole point of raiden was to say that he can't be solid snake -- and in turn tell the PLAYER that he can't be snake either? lol ego blow much? :D

  • Snop lol

  • lol he's so funny

  • MGS2 was the best one. I wish QF looked more like Raiden :(

  • @MrPhoenixab I havnt played 2 yet,just got into the series and started with 4 :p Hes badass in that game *-* I kind of just gotten into the series...and...it awesome as HELL *-* I havnt seen Quinton Flynn yet :o I My comp is being slow ._. I heard him as axel and some other people I think :D ...and if he looked more like Raiden...Id be droolin ova dat guy *-* -slaps mah comp- WORK! |:O

  • FISSION MAILED

  • i recently played mass effect 2 and noticed raidens voice aka quinton flynn. he played thane krios' son. almost certain it was him

  • OMG!! The part where Raiden and Vamp are fighting is so BADASS!!!

    It's as if they were telling each other

    "Hey, Im gonna kill you and Im gonna dance while doing."

    So BADASS!!!!!

    xD

  • @magzepeant

    *doing it"

    :P

  • wen i played mgs2 i was so shocked but evry1 hates him at first but after goin throu it all u kinda felt as if he kinda did good he took on like ten metal gears altoogetr nd basicly killed his kinda father nd found ou he was been played bu nothng stopd him like snake nd big boss his will to survive kinda shaped him in to the hero of the big shell im kinda ify bou mgs rising bu im open minded

  • @ja60102 Do you think that that's Raiden? His eyes are amber in the pictures for MGS Rising, but they're blue in MGS2 and 4.

  • I loved Raiden :P he was awesome

  • o.0 indeed lmao

  • wrong, he's the voice of kon, ichigo is done by Johnny Yong Bosch

  • Quinton Flynn also plays as Itchigo in Bleach english version

  • jonny yong bosch plays ichigo :P quinton plays kon

  • wow Quinten Flynn also plays Kael'Thas wat a guy

  • @fally15 In warcraft?

  • dunno if he did in in warcraft wbut he did in world of warcraft

  • @fally15 Oh true. He sure is famous haha

  • @fally15 He did the narriation for Super Mario Advance 3 commercial.

  • SNOP!!!

  • MGS4 totaly redeemed Raiden as a character.

  • I think he was OK in MGS2 too, but in MGS4 he is a total bad-ass

  • @MatticusFinch1820 More like MGS4 ruined Raiden as a character,

  • @KazuoKiriyama666 I gotta say, having only played MGS 1 and 2, I'm having some doubts on him turning ruthless in 5 years. He looks cool, and everyone says he's so badass, but having not played MGS4, it seems forced. I just can't see it.

  • @soridosuneku he has been through alot of shit. His wife is with another man, his body gets fucked up and turned into a cyborg, he becomes very rough edged

  • @randyds5 And yet, it's still too forced and we didn't learn what happened to him in MGS4, just that "hey I'm a cyborg ninja now, LIKE ME!!!!"

  • @KazuoKiriyama666 well, I actually liked Raiden in MGS2. I thought he was an interesting contrast. And the new Metal gear "rising" is a prequel thats in between mgs2 and MGS4 that tells what happened to Raiden. From my research, it seems that he was kidnapped by the patriots and his body was experimented on just like Grey Fox, and he was reconstructed with an even better technology than Grey fox. Just play MGS rising when it comes out. Im sorry you didnt like Raiden. But some people do

  • @randyds5 I liked him in MGS2 far more than I did in MGS4. I never had any problems with him and felt like it was such a terrible turn on his character to be this caricature Cyborg Ninja that was all emo-ey. Terrible.

  • @MatticusFinch1820 RAIDEN WAS ALWAYS COOL FOO!

  • @MatticusFinch1820 "i just dont fear death!"

  • He is also the voice of Kael'Thas in Warcraft III

  • NOTHING'S GONNA SNOP HIM

  • Quinton Flynn has been axel in all the KH games.

  • quinton flynn also makes the voice of axel from kingdom hearts 2...

    well davis hayter and him are way koolll

  • i seriously didn't know he also did Axel's voice in KH!!!!!! i had no idea...

  • and also the voice of reno in advent children

  • and izaru's voice in final fantasy 10

  • SNOP!!!

    Hammer nime!

  • @darthnazgul LOL FISSION MAILED

  • david haytor is my hero ty for the awsome voice

  • @EATDEEZNUTZ, when was the last time you were in school?

  • I'd 'snop' Raiden. XD

  • I need scissors!!! 61!!

  • I use to do the cart wheel when Raiden was naked and pause it when he was in mid split.

  • wtf?

  • thats weird bro

  • And here I though I was the only one who did that. >_>

    Did anyone realize that he had no junk? :P

    ~Meg

  • they should have made him say "colonel, raiden here, WEVE MANAGED TO AVOID DROWNING!"

  • @Americas13 Dude, you might want to replace that E with an O...

  • i remember that part of the game......very odd part not only was riaden naked the cornol and rose......... wow i still don't know what flapjaw is............

  • raiden* and colonel*

  • Why that nude picture of raiden? it disturbs me

  • wow u can hear raiden when hes talking XD so cool ^^

  • HE ALSO PLAYS AXEL IN KH

  • And don't forget Reno in FFVII: AC.

  • and pvt.ender in COD:united offensive!!! :D

  • Its Plain And Simple Hideo Kojima just can't be beat....

  • Hell yeah Raiden!!!!!!!!!111

    Greatest character ever!!!

    But Raiden's girlfriend, Rose is a crybaby slut....

  • I don't know if this is true but I herd that the ONLY reason he got the job was because he was Cam Clarke's lover.

  • Quinton flynn is also reno from ff7 ac and crisis core. Reno and axel are so similar

  • lmfao at 7:15 lmfao

  • i liked raiden. but i didnt like not playing as snake the whole game. snakes a total badass

  • if it was a japanese game......why oh why.....would they have made the characters look chinese......

    silly silly

  • Have you ever looked at Final Fantasy games? If those characters don't look like androgynous Asian people I don't know what does! =D

  • Raiden is my Favorite MGS character by far..the MGS2 Raiden is my favorite though..idk ppl dont like him i mean hes Young..has more personality than snake (even though i love snake who doesnt) and like "crazyturtlevideos" said hes human..and hes VERY agile..hes a normal human kickin ass and causing all kinds of hell to bigshell..whats not to like?

  • Agree Raiden the best because he was so much more human and vulnerable.Like Snake but loved Jacks stort best.

  • towards the end of mgs2 raiden started to forget his emotions and man up and started to contain his anger and just kick ass

  • a developing character

  • hahaha im not suprised, must be hard.

  • look, just because he had long ass hair it dosen't mean he was a bad character in mgs2. I mean, for starters, he was a lot more human and had a much more personality than the walking gun we all know and love as solid snake, and besides, i thought he was a lot more emo in mgs4. I still liked him, its just i hate how most people hate him mainly just because he look slightly feminine.

  • Agreed, 100%.

  • @crazyturtlevideos thank god someone finally stop downing raiden he is awesome as well as snake best of fighter, in this proxy wars

  • can u blame him in mgs4 he fort his girlfriend dint exsist n he was a used child solider but i never fort he looked like a girl but i dont get why ppl hated him in msg2 i fort he was pretty kool just unsure about fings but he was young n he slowly remembered his past soo yeah i fink hes the best character in mgs4 by far n the best ninja he felt pain but cud ignore it like he did wit vamp witch was kool "no...........i just dont fear death best" quote in mgs4

  • @crazyturtlevideos exactly thank you

  • @crazyturtlevideos I totally agree to your comment. You took the words off my mouth.

  • @crazyturtlevideos I dislike Raiden, not because he's feminine, but because in MGS2 he's kinda dumb. And he complains about everything! Granted, his childhood was crap, but he's just so annoying about it.

  • @crazyturtlevideos i like raiden hes my second second favorite character in mgs, but when i first played mgs2 i was like Is that abby? (my ex) mostly because of the hair though not anything else lol.

  • whr can u watch the main character chair trailer fight thingy??? i realli wanna see it xD

  • It's on the second disc of MGS3 Subsistence.

  • mgs 2 was great and would have been poor without kojimas clever change and more human character.

  • lol i love quinton flynn
