Wes has been covering games and hardware for more than 10 years, first at tech sites like The Wirecutter and Tested before joining the PC Gamer team in 2014. Wes plays a little bit of everything, but he'll always jump at the chance to cover emulation and Japanese games.

Eight years after Metal Gear Solid 5, the actor behind bikini-clad sniper assassin Quiet has spoken about the role and working with Kojima in. Actor Stefanie Joosten called making Metal Gear Solid 5"an absolutely wonderful experience," but also reflected on"the perspective of the people that are not as happy with how she was portrayed," saying"I think the video game landscape has changed quite a lot since then.

Looking back, Joosten praised working with Kojima and said she'd"absolutely" work with him again."He had a really clear vision for the project, but it was just so large in span that the actors, including me, would often ask for more input on the characters' motivations and the world we were in. And he was incredibly helpful and always present to make sure we really got the characters," she said.

"I think video games are, in a way, still a sort of fantasy world you enter, so I definitely respect the choices regarding the Quiet appearance, for instance, being quite revealing," Joosten said."But I also understand the perspective of the people that are not as happy with how she was portrayed. This game came out in 2015, and I think the video game landscape has changed quite a lot since then. People are looking for more representation, and I really get it.

I think it's fair to say the '80s pop revival is on full display in her new single; it's technically a cover of a song from 1979, but the full-on synth treatment here as '80s as it gets. Maybe Kojima will put one of Joosten's new tracks in Death Stranding 2?Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.before joining the PC Gamer team in 2014.
