    Poll The end of a Hayter Snake era? (80 votes)

    Tired of it. 39%
    He's rich, bitch! 36%
    They want someone else. 25%

    So Mr. Hayter posed an "informal" question to the twitterverse:

    Informal Poll: How would you react if I didn't play Snake in the next Metal Gear?@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN@Konami

    Now, what does this mean?

    1) Is he just tired of voicing Snake?

    2) Does it just not pay enough for him to justify spending his time on it? His net worth is apparently 13 million which is not surprising if you know that he's the writer for several popular movies X-Men, X2, Scorpion, Watchmen (I guess that's a cult hit, right?) IS YOUR MIND BLOWN?

    3) Konami wants someone else

    NOTICE THIS IN THE TWEET? He linked Kojima and Konami to the twitter post. Is this because he wants to suggest something to them? Or is this because they asked him to throw a feeler out and wanted to see the responses.

    No man, I need Hayter to voice Snake. I'm not tired of it one bit. Metal Gear is like this crazy drama that is sort of a comedy but you're not really sure and you need all those little pieces to fit together. A box scene, copious amounts of smoking, Johnny having diarrhea in a bathroom somewhere, and of course David Hayter being gravely as fuck.

    He's a screenwriter? Well maybe he's sick of reading all of the terrible, nonsensical dialogue they write for him in the MGS games.

    I doubt it's because Kojima wants a change or Hayter wanting more money. His voice not being Snake's is going to be really fucking weird. I think we've reached the point that we need a good replacement for the characters (plural since it goes the same for big boss).

    David has done a great job, and will forever be Snake for me. His dulcet tones have been entertaining me for over a decade, for if for whatever reason the end of his tenure as Snake has come, then so be it. Nothing can last for ever. Perhaps a new voice-actor will provide a chance to change-up Snake's character a bit, and to rejuvenate the MGS world around him. I loved 4, but that was the end of an era for me, and I'd love to see Kojima give the series a different feel. Whether he will...

    Ha, Re-Revengeance would make for a superb subtitle for a Rising sequel.
