Kiefer Sutherland is the new Snake

These conspiracy theories are so weird, they went from a videogame voice actor to a proper one, thats it.

Hayter's acting was memorable but hammy as hell, just like the games. In Kojima's deranged mind he now thinks he's capable of making something that's genuinely 'Hollywood' quality so it makes sense that he would get an actual Hollywood actor to star in the game. Whether Sutherland can rise above the inevitably terrible writing remains to be seen.

Dang... so beautiful.

I'm still hopeful for Hayter's participation somewhere down the line here. He's just playing his part extremely well but we all know he's one of Kojima's puppets.
 
Yanno with all this shenanigans about the voices, I think they'll have Hayter play an antagonist or some kind of role with a non-Snake voice.

Yeah like some antagonist gonna have Snake's right eye grafted on himself and that will allow for some weird shit with voices and stuff.
 
The reason was the need for a more broad acting range to convey emotions through face mocap.
Because David would have said "Otacon, are you ok?" while lo and behold KS will do with just "Otacon...?" and his talents will lay upon us such powerful subtext as "...are you ok?!"

Citizen Kane got nothing on MGS5


LOL
 
So I've watched the new trailer and I have to admit the game looks amazing.
But every time I hear Big Boss speak, it instantly takes me out of the immersion. If I played this game, every time he speaks I would instantly get a mental image of Jack Bauer talking to someone at CTU. After having watched all of 24, that's what happens 100% of the time when I hear Kiefer Sutherland's voice. It happened in Call of Duty, and it happened in this trailer.
I still won't buy this game because of the way David Hayter was backstabbed, but if for some reason I ever did play it, I would play it on mute with captions on, and in my head I would read Big Boss's dialog with David's voice.

It's a good thing I haven't seen anything Kiefer Sutherland played in.

Also, Jesus Christ at the bolded part.
 
Gotta say, he was perfect in the E3 trailer, so despite being a Hayter supporter (it fit the wacky side of MGS, with his bad VA) i'm actually very ok with this.
This entry seems a bit less wacky anyhow.
