Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima’s 1998 classic, got a hilarious review featuring David Hayter, Solid Snake’s voice, courtesy of Ricky Berwick. The “not so normal video entertainer” had a special treat for Metal Gear fans as Solid Snake made an appearance.
Ricky Berwick is a Canada-based vlogger who has been diagnosed with Beals-Hecht Syndrome, an incredibly rare genetic disorder. He is famous for his comedy skits and appearances on comedy shows.
Metal Gear fans are truly having a good time with the franchise with at least two more games in the pipeline, although no official release windows have been confirmed yet.
Rickey Berwick Gets Snarky With Solid Snake
Ricky Berwick has made a name with his unabashedly-in-your-face brand of comedy that has gained a solid fanbase. Now, in a recently posted video on X, he can be seen getting snarky with Solid Snake. And about whom? None other than Mei Lung.
Ricky Berwick can be seen playing Metal Gear a lot and his videos feature characters like Special Snake and Mantis. His latest video however blew up to a whole new level as it featured the man David Hayter himself. In his iconic Solid Snake voice, he can be heard congratulating Ricky regarding the review of Metal Gear Solid.
However, when asked about Mei Ling, Ricky can be heard blowing him off saying he is “kinda busy” while Mei Ling’s voice can be heard in the background saying,
Ohh Special Snake! Come off that wheelchair baby.
Solid Snake, in his deep baritone then says the titular expression. And he promises that Ricky has only won for now. This means we can look forward to such videos in the future too. Especially with the Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake already announced. And David Hayter has also returned to the franchise.
Metal Gear Solid 6 Remains Uncertain
Developers Hideo Kojima and publishers Konami are no longer working together. So, the prospect of a Hideo Kojima game looks pretty slim. Especially since Konami owns the IP. But this hasn’t stopped fans from expecting Metal Gear Solid 6, with discussions in the community forums frequently turning to it.
And rumors are making rounds regarding the Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake being a console exclusive. But again, apart from the game definitely being in the works, nothing much is known about the Konami remake of the 2004 game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
There have been no updates from either Konami or Hideo Kojima regarding a sequel to the last game, Metal Gear Solid Survive released in 2018. However, content creators like Ricky Berwick are responsible for keeping the franchise relevant among fans.
What do you think of Ricky Berwick’s video? Do you think it is part of a campaign by Konami to boost pre-sales for the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
