Kiefer Sutherland: The Perfect Choice for Snake

Hardcore Gamer: David Hayter was a fine Snake and deserved better than being (apparently) unceremoniously dumped; but as good as Hayter's Snake was, it's a relic of gruff macho protagonist video game voices of the late '90s and early aughts. A motion capture and voice performance from one of the most underrated character actors, Kiefer Sutherland, will enhance the stakes of what Metal Gear Solid V is trying to accomplish.

Personally I think that the perfect choice for snake would be david hayter....

I_LOVE_MYSELF3966d ago

Pretty much what I was thinking.

guitarded773966d ago

I think changing from David Hayter sucks, but from what Kojima said in the Konami video today, it seems he wants a more cinematic game, with a more mature script and better acting. I'm pretty certain the game will be great, but it does suck that Hayter got the shaft.

GameCents3966d ago

Out with the old, in with the Jack "Dammit" Bauer.
I for one am stoked!

Mr_Nuts3966d ago (Edited 3966d ago )

I suppose he would be an alright choice :D

I still can't wrap my head around this, such a douche move by Kojima

Reads title.... Well, this story sucks and is just looking for hits from the real MGS fan base.

Btw, watch the video.

Kiefer stats:

I'm not a gamer

I've never done motion capture before

guitarded773966d ago

True, but he's not being asked to play a game... he's being asked to act.

ZBlacktt3966d ago

Hhhmm, lets see take the guy who's done the voice for over 15 years. Who has a background in movies and drop him. All to make up some bs story and give it to a guy with no experience in what he's hired to do. Rrrrrright. This real issue here is Kojima doesn't want David in his games anymore because of control. Yep, Kojima doesn't like the fact that David is looked at as a huge part of Metal Gear. So take David out and I take back that full control. Well, to bad it's the fans who really have the control. When the games sells don't do as expected..... Just like that total crap spin off Raiden game.....

guitarded773966d ago

I didn't say I was for it... I just stated the truth. The game is mo-cap, and Kojima wanted an actor, not a voice actor. You got a problem with it, take it up with him. I'm sure he'll care.

And Revengeance wasn't made by Kojima. MGSV is a Kojima game. Recommend checking out tonight's episode of GameTrailers, Kojima talks more about Sutherland.

CrossingEden3966d ago

many actors don't play games and have never done motion capture before, -__- being a gamer in no way shape or form goes hand in hand with acting, which is a completely different skill and mindset

ArnoldSchwarzenigra3966d ago

Hayter made genuine sacrifices for his role, he treated the characters with respect and gave life to two characters with his acting abilities. It was his defining role and he knew that. To Kiefer, it'll just be another notch on his Hollywood belt.

This is all because of Kojima's fascination with American movies and his desire to recreate Snake in a way he would have originally preferred had he been able to utilise Hollywood actors back in the early days of Metal Gear Solid.

cell9893966d ago

dude you nailed it!! Hayter respected that character and had love for the franchise, respect to Keifer but he isnt here for the love of the game, he is here for the money. Kojima preferred paying more money to an actor who has no idea what MEtal Gear was before he started his roll, than keeping Hayter at a lower pay and with guaranteed passion for MGS

cell9893966d ago

David Hayter the perfect choice for Snake

cell9893966d ago

Big Boss and Snake are technically the same person, Snake is a clone of BB!!

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan165d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara165d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721165d ago (Edited 165d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus165d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow165d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…

Cacabunga181d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19181d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19181d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq181d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger181d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder181d ago

Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.

YourMommySpoils181d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder181d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85181d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac181d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420181d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim181d ago

The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.

KyRo180d ago

The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.

MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
