Kiefer Sutherland Is Now Snake

I'm not exaggerating when I say this news has literally ruined my day.

I don't think I can justify buying MGS5... and that makes me very sad. :(

I think I'm one of the few die hard Metal Gear fans that isn't at all bothered by the change. Love my man Hayter but it's not like he's going to be out on the streets now. Plus if you're going to replace him, Kiefer Sutherland is a pretty damn good choice.

Can't wait for more Metal Gear!

Big Up the Kief!

Not sure if this is actually awesome. Hearing Keifer just makes me hear Jack Bauer pretending to be Snake. I think I'd be happier if they went with someone out there unheard of so I don't have to put a face to the voice. Reminds me of my time when I was playing Call of Duty: World at War, oh hey why is Jack Bauer in my world war II game.

My bad, I missed that part! I'll tweak. Who writes their tweets with breaks like that?

Patrick, why did you edit Hayter's tweets ? They are now grossly out of context. He's actually being very bitter right now, and is embarrassing himself.

Ain't even mad. Kiefer Sutherland is amazing.

I'm not happy with the choice, but I can see how having Kiefer Sutherland on would benefit in multiple ways. Aside from having a voice as well as facial performance capture, he could also potentially sign on for the live action MGS movie they've always been going on about. Since he's already involved with the game, makes sense for him to be in the movie as well.

As a fan of Hayter and Kiefer, I am okay with this.

Hayter is a goddamn diva though.

Naked Snake =/= Solid Snake

“Great actor, good man. The game will probably still be excellent. [...] - David Hayter

You didn't include the end of this tweet which kind of changes the meaning.

“Great actor, good man. The game will probably still be excellent. Like New Coke!"

Sucks for Hayter, he seemed to really like playing the character.

Solid Snake is not in this game.

Haha, damn. Yeah, that's not exactly "taking it in stride."

I feel that omitting the "like New Coke" part of his tweet, drastically alters the perception that he "took the change in stride"

Patrick left out the most important part of his tweet: "Great actor, good man. The game will probably still be excellent. Like New Coke!"

I guess the whole Hayter thing isn't some weird publicity stunt, after all?

Part of me wants to think this is Hideo pulling another one on us, but if you listen to the MGS5 trailer, both snake and Ishmael sound like Kiefer.

Will take a bit getting used to, but hey, a new MSG game.

I'm happy.

Metal Gear Solid V is a Big Boss game.

DAT KEEF

He's not Solid Snake

Fuckin' awesome.
