MGS: V - If David Hayter Voiced Snake

[Misa]

Here is David hayter performance as Snake

Snake isn’t very memorable to me in MGS V. It was Hayter’s voice we were all familiar with that carried the weight of the character for so many years. The story of the game and what happens to Snake would have resonated so much more if Hayter has once again provided the voice for Snake.

It’s a shame he sees it like that. But then again, Kojima did basically drop out the guy who made the great soundtrack for the first MGS game just to get some medicore hollywood name for it.

And after that the MGS music hasn’t been as memorable as it was before in the first Solid game. There are few tracks I like in the games that came after it, but the whole soundtrack for MGS1 is great and very noticable. I know right away where the music is from, even when I haven’t played the game for years now.

So I think it’s just the same thing here. Kojima wanted some “proper” hollywood actor for it. This all said, it doesn’t really matter in the end, the MGS5 has Snake barely even speaking.

sutherland is no Big Boss. he's No naked, he's no Solid.
he isn't David Hayter and he isn't snake.

It's time to move on buddy, and it's almost 2 years.

Never liked Hayter's voice for BB. I'm fine with him as Solid Snake, especially does the voice fit for Old Solid Snake, but Big Boss needs a heavy voice like Sutherland's.

Who cares, they made Venom mute anyway aside from the ashes scene you can't get used or appreciate Kiefer

[Chewytaffy]

Weird, its not big boss in MGS V is venom snake. So why should both have the same voice actor.

I just pretend that MGSV is a spin off like Rising.

And Survive, right? Pretend what you want.

I like Sutherland. His voice was spot on for Venom Snake.

I do too. It doesn't sound exaggerated

Spin off or not, both games are canon

Sutherland does the voice for Big Boss too...

Seriously, it seems that you cant stand any critique towards this game.

I can. But despite you or anyone trying to believe it isn't canon won't change the fact that it is. :)

The video is just Frankensteining different things David Hayter says in the various MGS games and, quite frankly, it sounds terrible and inconsistent.

While I was also a bit bummed out about how Hayter got completely brushed aside for this game, I think having him voice Big Boss as well was a mistake; I found his performance in Peace Walker to be rather lackluster. Sutherland's portrayal of the character in MGSV was just fine.

Seriously, it's time to let it go and move on.

idc i still like him as big boss and venom

I think David Hayter voice just dont fit the the new face of Snake. If he looked like his Peace Walker version it would have been perfect. Instead we got a fat Boss who ate too much of MSF's tortilla chips (jk).

Kiefer is a great actor, but I don't get why they felt they needed to change the original voice actor... David Hayter is iconic in this role (equal to the japanese va; who still voiced the character for this game) and I wish companies would consider the fans first and not the off puting opinion of the series creator and or other misguided staff... (It is everything as a whole that makes a great game, the graphics, the music, the voice work and the gamplay that makes a great game; if one of these areas are lacking it can break a good thing) unfortunately today fan service is seemingly less important than ever... (for example recent events with Capcom i.e. Revelations 2, Resident Evil 7 and the soon to be released Resident Evil 2 Remake).

I would have liked to see Kiefer introduced to this series as a new iconic Metal Gear solid character as another hero in the series or perhaps even a villian.. that I think would have been interesting... Instead we got controversy that they knew would be bad for buisness...

He honestly should've voiced Snake in MGS3 and maybe even 4. Then conversations like this wouldn't be an issue.
