Jennifer Hale and David Hayter are two of gaming's most recognizable voices, a pair whose combined credits include lead roles in Metal Gear Solid, Metroid Prime, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Overwatch, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and the list goes on, and on, and on. Which is to say: when these two industry titans join forces, as they are for the upcoming PSVR 2 game Synapse, you know to pay attention.
The first thing that strikes me as I sit down to chat with Hale and Hayter – other than the fact that I'm hearing the voices of Solid Snake, Commander Shepard, and so many other characters I've loved since childhood – is the mutual respect between the pair. They aren't just frequent co-workers, they're dear friends, admirers of each other, and mentor and mentee all at once.
