Kiefer Sutherland Is Now Snake

Tiny bit down about Hayter's reaction. I fully understand how he might feel especially if things were as unceremonious as they looked from this side. But man, I expected more from the Man I know as Snake. Fingers crossed there is a little bit of theatricality in there for his eventual return as Solid Snake along side the legendary soldier Keifer Sutherland.

@innovacious: Right right right.

EEEeeeeehhhhhh... Snake is Hayter to me. Mr. Sutherland is going to have to turn in one hell of a performance to not garner a lot of disappointment from fans. If they wanted a change I think they should have just gone with an unknown actor, oh well.

Apparently I share a birthday with Revolver Ocelot. Not sure how to feel about this. I'm so overshadowed.

Hayter will be back when we reach Zanzibar and Outer Heaven (MG1 MG2 Solidized remakes), He has to be Right?

No he's not. He's "Snake." Ostensibly Big Boss. Giant Bomb's awful knowledge and no respect for this series continues to get on my nerves.

I'd rather still have Hayter. I never liked Kiefer Sutherland. So sad, Donald's fucking awesome.

Is it just me, or was Solid Snake always kind of trying to be Kiefer Sutherland anyway? And I can't be the only one who thinks that the older Big Boss from MGS2 kind of looks like Donald Sutherland.

i still think hayter will make some sort of cameo as a solid snake at the end of the game.

but Kiefer Sutherland should do a decent job

btw @patrickklepek, he's voicing big boss (naked snake) , not solid snake, might wanna fix that in the headline :P

aand you would want to attach the story to the big boss page. not the solid snake one.

1. I will miss Hayter.

2. I still hope they will announce that Mgs5 is also coming for the Ps4. I want those fine PC graphics, damn it.

I'll play it, but it's going to bother me the whole time.

THIS LEVEL OF BADASS-NESS IS SURELY ILLEGAL IN MOST COUNTRIES?! HOW WILL THE GAME GET RELEASED?

I wish it was still Hayter, but I'm fine with Sutherland taking over as Snake. He'll do a fine job with the role.

To me he will always be the dude from the 2nd english version of armitage the 3rd the movie cut and that is all I am going to see the entire time I see words come out of snakes bigboss mouth.

he should be in a snatcher game.

I'm torn. On one hand this is awesome. On the other it's frustrating. IT'S AWESOMELY FRUSTATING!!!!!

Did Avi Arad kind of throw David Hayter under the bus, in that Konami show?

That was...awkward.

EDIT: but then again - Hayter's reaction to him being replaced, is also a bit childish.

David Hayter is trolling WAYYY to hard for him not to show up somewhere. Ever since this whole deal about him getting replaced started he's been doing nothing but poking people with sticks and getting them riled up about him not being in the game. The "Like New Coke" thing is just....too good.

Exactly he will be Big boss

I like Kiefer Sutherland, he will give a great performance, but he will never be Snake.

Hayters voice is far to recognizable and iconic at this point.

If you just hear an audio clip, you'll know exactly who it is. Now you'll hear Jack Baur.

Again I really like Kiefer's stuff but at this point it would be like changing Nathan Drake or Shepards voice to a bigger stars voice. No need.

Konami fucked up.

So my theory is, the game is Ground Zeros and seems to be in two parts, you play the first part as Naked Snake/Big Boss voiced by Keifer as you establish outer haven. Then you play the second part as young Solid Snake and you have to take the old man down, effectively making it a retelling of the original Metal Gear. Im maybe being a little too optomisitic but i hope its the case or im probably going to pass on this one, just like Kevin Conroy is Batman, Nolan North is Deadpool, to me David Hayter is Snake.

@spitznock: He is conveying inaccurate information. Trying to make sure it is correct is not "being dicks". Relaying news is a service and people who use the service deserve to have the correct info. Not all criticisms are personal attacks.

This is great news. I was growing tired of Hayter's voice "acting."

He isn't Kiefer Sutherland. He's Jack Bauer.

Oh you mean that guy from Young Guns?

Kiefer did some voice work for an anime in the 90s called Armitage III iirc, he was not very good. I'm not particularly happy about this, I don't seem him putting in a Hayter-esque performance, I hope he treats the role as seriously as it deserves.

He isn't Solid Snake....

Doesn't bother me that much. Frankly, I've felt like Hayter has been doing an impression of himself in the role for the last few installments anyway.

Guys, it's Revolver Ocelot's birthday today. He was born on D-Day. SIX SHOTS!

Naw, I'm with you. I am super excited in knowing that Sutherland is the new voice of Snake. I'm sure he'll do a terrific job.

I'm like Patrick(just with better hair) in the fact that I think MGS 1 and MGS 3 are awesome and the other ones suck my ass. I'm checked all the way the fuck out. Its nice to see what you guys think about this. I would be upset but would wait and see(if I cared).

Bullshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

kiefer's awesome. that is all.

@patrickklepek: A screenplay writer. :) Whitespace yo. Helps the page count.

Longest con in the history of gaming? Aside from Infinium Labs I mean.

^^^ This.
I'm sure he'll do a bang-up job. People just want to complain.
Also: To the people going "Durr you're an idiot, Patrick. He isn't going to be Solid Snake; he'll be Big Boss."... you get the idea. Hayter voiced Big Boss as well as Solid Snake. They may as well be the same person. Stop being dicks.

?

But is Keifer Sutherland in Smash Bros? I want to live in a world where something that weird happens.

They should've got Keith David.

Keifer Sutherland wishes he was a quarter of the man David Hayter is! David Hayter will always be the one true snake! BOYCOTT!!!

(I'm kidding, I don't actually care, but I will miss Hayter's cheesiness)

!

I hope there is a convoluted in game explanation.

This is the new Big Boss.

The pile of tears and rage on twitter is the old Snake/Big Boss.

I'm pretty sure Solid Snake is going to show up at the end like Big Boss at the end of MGS4, and he will be voiced by Hayter.

Doesn't matter to me, love Hayter, LOVE Hayter but if they want to go in a different direction, fine by me. Just give me the damn game already.

oh i finally get what peoples posts are about. you said he is now "solid snake". solid snake isnt in this game. Keifer is voicing Big Boss, not Solid.

Hayters gonna Hate

Keifer Sutherland is playing Big Boss not Solid Snake.
