  • I'm not even listening tot he words,I just LOVE his voice ^=^

  • So this is a response to all the people who kept telling me to play the game or wait for Rising:

    I bought MGS4 relatively recently...and I loved it. Didnt really explain much on Raiden that I know of, but theres always Rising. HOWEVER, I think the plot of Rising has changed. From what I read, its not going to explain why he turned into a cyborg. I hope another game is made that does explain it.

  • if i met this man in real life i would ask him to please for the love of god

    say "WE MANAGED TO AVOID DROWNING"

    for me..

  • im irish :D while his accent is a little stereotypical its good

  • "I am lightning, the rain transformed"

  • shiiiiiit the interview guy met suda51 too?!! (creator of no more heroes)

  • lol i name is quinton i love mgs4 and he is my second fav my first is the beauty and the beast

  • i never knew he was henry, that's a crazy difference.

  • Phil looks like a skinny version of the Old Spice guy XP

  • It is alot like the JAK games jak was all cool and simple then fans wanted him to look really awsome so they 'JAKED' him up and I never liked that but then again RAIDEN looks really cool now

  • Raiden is an awesome game character like axel from kingdoms hearts the best characters voiced by Q.flynn even reno from Final Fantasy VII

  • I liked Raiden in MGS2. Those saying he was gay or sissy are either insecure of themselves or need to grow up. I think Raiden in MGS4 is cool as well, but I feel like he was never supposed to be that way. Like Hideo was sick of the negative feedback on Raiden and changed him just to please the fans. They even gave him a larger body with broader shoulders. It just looks so awkward with his more feminine face. By the way, did they explain his new body in MGS4? I never played it.

  • @LotusDragon09 Not really in the MGS4 game, no... If you want the story on why he became a cyborg, you'll have to download the 'MGS Encyclopedia' of sorts, called the MGS4 Database (It's free on the PS store of your PS3).

    But then again you can probably find a copy of the database online if you google for it.

  • @yuyuzja Its not so much that, but at the end of the game, I know the make him fully human again. I saw a video. Like, they give him a new body. He wakes up in a bed and Rose comes to greet him. Then I think his child too. During this scene, you will noticed that his shoulders and upper board is much more broad than in MGS2 and in MGS4 while he was a cyborg. Its really really weird to me and I dont know if they give an explanation to that or not.

  • @LotusDragon09 Wow, a lot of typos. Just woke up, sorry! Im sure you know what im trying to say.

  • @yuyuzja Actually they might of mentioned when Raiden brought up Dr. Madnar (IDK his name) who saved Raiden's life and then Otacon mentioned he worked underground with cybernetics.

  • @LotusDragon09 Yeah, we didn't like MGS2 Raiden so we need to grow up...how exactly does that make sense? Yes Raiden's inexperience shows in that game, and he acts awfully pansy at times, so people don't like him for that. Deal with it. And what are you a psychiatrist telling us what's wrong with ourselves and how we feel inside?

  • @Dsurvivor21stCentury No, im not a psychiatrist, but you may be deliberately interpreting me acting as such. Want to talk about it?

  • @Dsurvivor21stCentury MOST people who didn't like Raiden just hated him for the simple fact that they were tricked into playing him. I guess it's kind of a legit complaint but most of the time people just resorted to calling him gay or about the way he looked. THAT'S immature and petty. i think if he were introduced into the game differently more people would have liked him. i personally like mgs2 raiden more than mgs4 and japanese gamers liked raiden since the prettyboy look is popular in asia.

  • @selphiexfairy You are right. MGS2 Raiden was really funny at times and towards the end when he got fed up of it all, you could only feel sorry for how he was being manipulated. I still prefer MGS4 Raiden cause it seems more realistic (a child soldier, orphaned, tortured, night terrors) MGS4 Raiden's personality is how any man would be if he was subject to this his whole life. His peppy behaviour in MGS2 doesn't show this. I don't blame them, because his memories were suppressed but you know...

  • @LotusDragon09 Finally! Someone mature enough to like Raiden in MGS2! I thought he was cool, no matter how many somersaults he did!

  • @DarkX6 Woo! Yeah, the somersaults were weird, but he was still a pretty cool character. I dont think he was as whiny as people make him out to be. Like I said, people need to grow up. So what if he wasnt the epitome of masculinity. Thats what we have Snake for. A story will be very boring if all the characters are like the main character.

  • @LotusDragon09 No. That's why MGS Rising is coming out next year. It is set between MGS2 and MGS4 and explains who turned him into a cyborg.

  • @DANKIDYD Yeah, I want to get that game. Too bad I dont have a 360 or PS3 yet.

  • @LotusDragon09 It'll be on PC!

  • @LotusDragon09

    Just wait for rising, its before mgs4

  • @LotusDragon09 metal gear rising explains it

  • @LotusDragon09 in mgs rising they will explain raidens story,since it takes place between 2 and 4,and u play as raiden...

  • @LotusDragon09 Forget the gay and sissy comments but he did have to change. Because of the exp. w/ Snake, the situations in the battlefield he's never faced before. He's changed into a more wiser ninja. As for his body. Technology has advanced, so he needs a suit that matches. This just enhances his abilities that he already has, and any he gained while wearing the suit. I wont spoil it for you, but know that since BIG SHELL alot of sh*t happened to him.

  • @kale61 Well im completely fine with his personality changing since Big Shell, as it makes sense. Rising will fill the gap (Which I keep getting reminded of!!!!), so im looking forward to that. I didnt mind his personality in MGS2, which was my main point. I do agree that in order for his skills to improve he had to change. Which did happen. The change I was against was that his in body, and I dont mean the suit. Whats up with his torso after the suit is removed? Rising better explain.

  • @LotusDragon09 Yea it sucks that his personality had to change because he was just introduced to us and then totally flipped as a character in MGS4. At least give him one more game for us to feel a real connection for. Unless we see that "flip" in Rising. Have you played MGS4 yet? i hope so dude...

  • @kale61 I havent actually lol. Im trying not to watch any walkthroughs and keep my viewing of MGS4 media to a minimal. Its definitely on my wishlist though. I actually dont have a PS3 or 360 yet, unfortunately. Its possible I will eventually end up with both. Yeah if Rising is going to explain his transition to a cyborg, we *should* see his personality changing throughout and the turmoil that caused it. Im also hoping for a pre MGS2, post MGS1 game as well.

  • @LotusDragon09 Dude im glad i didnt say anything lol. Trust me, you dont want to ruin it for yourself. This is hands my number one favorite game. Youre gunna enjoi the f*ck out of the story mode and it has TONS and I mean TONS of replay value. So when you get your PS3 we need to play METAL GEAR ONLINE together! (the multiplayer for MGS4)

  • @kale61 Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the online part! That would be interesting to play. I have MGS3, but never played its online mode. I hear mixed reactions to it though. I have seen videos of MGS4's online mode and it looks pretty fun.

  • @LotusDragon09 Raiden obviously wasn't gay, but he was a bit of a sissy lol. They even made a joke about his feminine appearance IN the game. Remember when tries to rescue the president? The first thing the president does is cup Raiden's testicles, because he's unsure of whether he is male or female lol. It didn't make him an less of a character. I thought he was brilliant in fact. He felt like a real person, there was nothing exaggerated like there is with most other fictional characters.

  • @l3awl3ag Yeah I remember that part. I thought it was funny :). Though reflective of how stupid some people can be. He is clearly male, but yes, I do get the joke. You make a good point about him being more of a real person. I think it definitely balanced out Snake's personality as well.

  • @LotusDragon09 But yeah if you decide to buy a PS3 at any point, grab a copy of MGS4. Raiden is quite different, but it's definitely still him. There's a reason he has changed, and even in MGS4 it isn't fully explained. But if you play MGS4 you'll understand enough. I wont say any more though because I don't want to ruin anything lol.

  • @LotusDragon09 he was given this new Body from Dr Madnar (which if i remember well is a reference to Snatcher Hideo Kojimas older game), BUT hopefully that story will be covered in MGS Rising :D

  • @LotusDragon09 No but either you can download the MGS4 Database or you could google Metal Gear Solid Wiki and then just search for Raiden.

  • @LotusDragon09 I didn't really hate Raiden or like him. But he was cool in the sense as he was just a regular guy. Most heros in a video game are hardcore killing machines and Raiden in MGS2 was just a regular guy. I liked that aspect and it was cool to see Snake from another characters view.

  • I dislike him in MGS2 now I'm whatever about him. Just don't ever have me play as someone other then Snake. EVER again.

  • holy crap its axel from kingdom hearts 2 and raiden quinton flynn is honestly a really cool voice actor

  • I love his voice! :D

  • I remember playing mgs2 and saying "wtf who the hell is this Raiden dude? He's gay, where's snake??? :(" Then I played this game and said "wow.....nevermind, this guy is bad ass as fuck." When you hear him say "its my time to protect you" DAMN fucking awesome voice!

  • quinton flynn looks like zac effron!

  • lol It's funny how they refer to the MGS stories as dense in a positive way, as opposed to when people say "Man, you're so dense!" in a bad way.

  • haha is there reno or raiden?

  • i like what mgs2 Raiden would have said more XD

  • 4:41 "old raiden would say, 'this time, I'm here to protect you! Cause I'm a wiseacre and I'm gonna kick some ass! what's going on?!' " lol, you just gotta laugh at that.

  • to true raiden in mgs4 everyone likes him

  • I loved Raiden even before knowing who Quinton Flynn was. He's definitely my favorite voice in the industry though.

  • @arcthelove It's very distinctive, isn't it? It works incredibly well for a very specific kind of character. He does a wonderful job.

  • He sounds like Willem Dafoe

  • LOL @ all the quinton pictures that came up as soon as the handsome men subject came on XDD

  • i didnt notice it before, but raiden sounds so different in mgs4 compared to mgs2!

  • becuase Hes older then he was in mgs2 ...puberty

  • @flamingpheonix5000 lol How did you not? No offense to Raiden fans, I like him too, but Quinton Flynn voices him like he's trying to do Snake. He's still a great voice actor.

  • AXEL AXEL AXEL!!! <333

  • 4:40 LOL wiseacre!

  • I love Flynns voice. :'D

  • AXEL!!!!!!

  • @milan0525 Crap, he really does sounds like Axel in this interview... O.o

  • Comment removed

  • Haha I'm friends with this guy on Facebook...

  • 1:32 sounds just like when Raiden says it in mgo...

  • MGS2 was scary at the end espicially when colonels nose indented in and his weird messgaes like with the tuning fork

  • I need scissors...61..

  • i was driving home then there was a orange light in the sky then i was home what do you think happened to me?

  • I used to hate Raiden..i admit it. I still don't LOVE him yet, but i do like him, but i hated him for the wrong reasons (cause i was forced to play him in MGS2 & wanted to play Snake<the reason why most prob didn't like him)....now Snake?, yea i LOVE Snake!!< Naked and Solid.. ; )

  • I think thats good as I always like Raiden best but understand the shock What I dont get is after 8 years the retarded hate and gay shit when he is the only one with prove of straight.Love snake when he is so caring in mgs4 too.Should play mgs2 again he is more human to relate to i think.

  • i actually am playing MGS2 again...i'm in the middle of it. True, all the hate and gay shit is unwarranted, and i have realized that..Raiden is ok and people should give him a chance, but you have to understand (& i know u do) it's been only Snake up until the bait and switch of MGS2 and it pissed a lot of ppl off (including me) ..but i'm sure i will like Raiden more once i get the chance to play MGS4..but Snake will always be my favorite.

  • oh i do understand but Raiden caught my interest and Snake is cool after mgs1 and i played mgs2 first.Love pretty boys and blonds.

  • Comment removed

  • Well, i played MGS2 first too...and well, i like manly men who have smoldering eyes and are gruff and scruffy,...and if his name is Snake then that's even better haha : )

    .......and what hat are you talking about?

  • The red hat in picture,or is that not you.I like manly men too but DONT SEE WHATS TO HATE IN THE OTHER TYPE.HES SO LIKABLE.Prefer him as human unlike most do.Should have stayed with Rose and done the nappies.

  • Love your hat it looks so cool.Must have been a bit of a shock, my bro was shocked at first.

  • i'm wearing a black sock cap on my youtube profile, i guess it's not me cause i don't know what you're talking about.......please man..I've only played 2 and 3, so no spoilers : )

  • iM SORRY DIDNT MEAN TO SPOIL ANYTHING,WILL SHUT UP NOW.

  • Nah man, it's cool..i'm not pissed or anything, i was just saying so you'd know....it's all good.

  • Rose was pregnant at the end of mgs2,thats probably why she was such a pain.hope i didnt give too much away.Have a nice day.

  • Well, that actually kinda explains why she was so god awful annoying..lol

  • I know im a mum.They have it easy.

  • i thought the rose in mgs2 was fake like the colonel if i remembered correctly they were part of arsenal gear of something else the real rose u see is in the end

  • I think she was real until she revealed her deception and pregnancy ,but I may be wrong.

  • ok but i think ill stick to what i thought, whos right?

  • I was just wondering about this like 2 days ago..i think i'm gona agree with you on this one..by the way...i made something that i've been wanting to show you....you might dig it :)

  • Sounds good thank you

  • how do i get it to ya? it's a pic i made..or put together i should say..can we post pics in the comments on each others personal profile? i'm not sure.

  • i kno why u hated him, i liked him in mgs2 but he looked like a fag, now he looks like a bad ass, i think every mgs fan realises that

  • Yea, in contrast to Snake he was a bit feminine.

  • I dont think so :)

  • AWESOME IRISH ACCENT!! XD

    this guy is awesome =)

  • well.. the appeal for raiden to the female gamers was a little off.. at least in my opinion lol.

    but i'm so-so on raiden. i dont hate him but hes not really that great.

    not compared to snake, i love him <3 :D

  • I hope Quinton voices Raiden in MGS: Rising.

    Raiden (MGS4): Snake. This time, I protect you.

    Raiden (MGS2): Snake. This time, I'm here to protect you! 'Cause I'm a wise-acre & I'm gonna kick some ass! What's going on?!!

    Hot Damn, Quinton's got a sexy voice & a lot of vocal talent. Bow Chicka Bow Wow.

  • Quinton Flynn, Mark Hamill & Matthew Broderick all sound pretty similar, don't they?

  • lol im a girl and i can vouch for the success of raiden's purpose for female gamers. xDD

  • so you like raiden? :P

  • of course. (:

  • I LOLED so harf at 4:42

  • Quinton flynn is the same guy who did those Epic Boss Quotes for Kael'thas in Magister's Terrace.........PURE EPICNESS SHALL DROWN IN EPIC BLOOD!

  • nothing will snop him!!!!

  • It's kind of freaky causse I personally think that Quinnton Flynn looks a little like Reno from FF:7!

    and I love Raiden

  • reno is played by Quinton Flynn

  • I know that...but he looks a little like Reno..just a little to me

  • Quinton seems like such a funny and relaxed guy. You have to like him.
