Kiefer Sutherland is the new Snake

So using a drunk is best? Lol Gaf.

so? if not using a drunk was apart of the decision for any sort of entertainment role, the bulk of actors/actresses would never get work.

come on, silly.

Why not? Kiefer isn't some super serious guy, he constantly pokes fun at himself and likes to have fun. Here's an example of him goofing off on 24 set:

Kiefer would have no issues with delivering offbeat Kojima dialogue.

I hung out with Kiefer at a TIFF party a couple years ago. He was joking around and playing with some huge feather all night. Guy is hilarious. He'll fit in just fine.
 
I hope they're ready for 5 to be the worst selling game of the series

I know I won't be picking it up because of bullshit like this as will most of the fanbase

They wont hope for anything.They will be expecting lots o' cash though.

Speak for yourself. I'm a fan, I'll most likely pick this up if I decide its good, when I get more information. Cant make an informed decision if you have little or no information, eh?

sutherland is a better choice than hayter at this point. hayter peaked with mgs1 and it's been downhill since; his va in mgs4 was appalling.
 
I'm okay with this. David Hayter became a caricature of himself after MGS1. It was painful listening to him try to deliver lines with any emotional weight in MGS3. He improved in MGS4, but went right back to his old ways in PeaceWalker.
 
Gone astray? It's almost been a decade since MGS3 was released and the morons ate it up. Hell they still think it's good. What's different now? Nanomachines and Patriots?

This franchise is dead to me. Period.

Fuck you Kojima you talentless hack.

People who like the things you dont are morons?

Hey, there's supposed to be an interview on GTTV tonight with Hideo, right? Does anyone know the time, or am I mistaken?

10:00pm PT/1:00AM ET on Spike TV.
 
Oh, okay. So 11:00PM CST.

Cool, thanks.


Do you folks think there will be any new or awesome info? Maybe a trailer? Probably not, huh?

Since they only discussed Keifer today and arent showing the trailer until next Wednesday, I wouldnt expect much from GTTV. I could be wrong but Im not staying up that late to find out :P
 
I was expecting acceptance at this point. Now people have conspiracies that Hayter is really in the game.

Yeah. I may be pissed at Kojima, but even I'm not crazy enough to think there's some sort of troll going on. Kojima's a dick, not buying the game, moving on. The extra $60 will be worth a few whiskeys or something.
 
I'm curious as to how much more they are paying Sutherland than they would have paid Hayter. If it is a significant amount I would have rather them put that money to use elsewhere (funding another game or something). Part of the reason budgets are getting out of control is that publishers are spending money when they don't need to. No one was asking for Hayter to be replaced and I seriously doubt this move is going to sell more copies of the game. Not like there are many people out there who had no interest in MGS5 who suddenly are interested b/c Sutherland is doing the voice. Seems like a huge waste to me. But what do I know?
 
I think Kiefer will do one, Hayter is being a real baby about all of this so it's hard to defend him.

Do people really thinking calling someone a junior (which as far as I know just means they have less than 300 posts) make them superior to someone? It seems like the equivalent of calling someone a "noob", which is really childish.

Also that video game tattoo... jesus....
 
As a fan, I see the reasoning for changing actors. Having mocap involved along with a demand for subtler performances would probably be outside of Hayter's limits as a VA.

That being said, I'm enjoying the various conspiracy theories floating about.

Your post is just shy of perfection. Just needs some Mountain Dew, Halo and a little bit of Call of Duty.
 
Sure it does seeing as the majority of Gaf voted MGS4 GOTY and consider MGS3 as good.

I'm pretty sure the people that think those games are good also own past MGS games. Sorry your vision of the series wasn't sent to Kojima's brain through human to human thought osmosis.
 
I get the hate that Hayter should be snake. I'm new to the Metal Gear series (and LOVE it) so I haven't been there since the beginning on PS1 with Hayter.

That said, as I played through the games in order of release recently, Hayter's snake, especially in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, was getting worse and worse. His Solid Snake in MGS2 and Big Boss in MGS3 were legendary to me. I couldn't get past the forced grittiness of his recent snake voices. (I can understand Metal Gear Solid 4, Snake wasn't in the best condition)

I hope Sutherland will do Snake justice and go back to a less gritty MGS123 voice. What I've seen from Kiefer in voice acting has been pretty good so far. That and Kojima wouldn't pick someone he didn't think could do it.

Again, this is coming from a Metal Gear newbie. If I was a lifelong fan, I'm sure I'd feel differently.

(Also, Hayter's whining on social media isn't doing him any favor in my eyes.)

EDIT: People don't like MGS4? I loved it and saw it as a good end to the Solid Snake saga.
