Earlier this week, 1up.com posted an article about David Hayter's appearance at Anime Expo 08, stating that the voice of Solid Snake was "frustrated at times with Metal Gear Solid series director Hideo Kojima's over-the-top scriptwriting and direction". After causing some controversy, Hayter has stepped forward, stating that 1up took what he said out of context.

He spoke out on his IMDB forum earlier today, stating "This is patently ridiculous. I love those games immensely and have nothing but massive respect for Mr. Kojima. I did mention one disagreement I had regarding the climax of the game, a question of character, but this is just par for the course when many people work on the same piece. Anyway, I'm sure I don't have to remind any of you out there, but please don't take half the stuff you read on-line seriously."
