Meryl Voice Actor on David Hayter Not Playing Snake in MGS 5: “What the F**k is Going on?”

So yes, be assured that the reasons for Hayter not playing Snake are still very much up in the air.

[Zefros]

He probably is in the game, but NOT as BIG BOSS, probably as Solid Snake.

[KonsoruMasuta]

It wouldn't make sense if Snake was in the game.

The time line is way off.

[Minato-Namikaze]

Isnt Liquid supposedly in the game?

[crxss]

Snake is in the game... Punished Snake. It's looking like Eli aka Liquid is definitely going to be there. Not sure if David aka Solid will be in the game but it makes sense to have him if Liquid's in it. Hopefully there's a scene in the future that has Solid in his younger years (around MG1) and is voiced by Hayter. Wouldn't make sense to have a kid Solid Snake being voiced by Hayter.

Also I'm thinking that IGN should have asked her what she thought about Hayter not reprising his role as Big Boss not Solid Snake. Hayter IS Solid Snake. Now that Big Boss is older it makes sense to have a different voice actor since they did that in mgs4. One could argue that mgs3 was a simulation being run by solid snake as well... but that one's a little out there

[Irishguy95]

Kojima be trolling, all you gotta do is pay attention. Kojima's 'giant surprise' has been figured out already. Unless Kojima wants to **** up the time line himself.

[shaft0140]

It's speculated that Liquid is in the game, but the guy we think is Liquid is some teen we saw on the trailer. That would make Solid Snake the same age as a teen.

If Solid Snake was in the game, I doubt "teen-snake" would have David Hayter's voice.

[Tapioca Cold]

Author, herre s whats going on: your acting like childish bedwetter. Man up snd quit whining like a sissy. No one cares.

[WitWolfy]

Biggest cover up ever, or biggest middle finger FU in recent years to fans?

[-Foxtrot]

We'll soon see...if it's the second one then Kojima is officially a massive douche bag and I hope he gets called out over it.

[Joe913]

Has anyone even read the article better yet has anyone watched the video? Well I did and it is very interesting first and foremost according to her David Hayter lied about giving up his money to do the twin snakes game she did not say he lied she just told a different story making him a liar she said he demanded more money when kojima said no he refused to do the game told them to try and find a better voice they could not so they paid him more. So maybe since then Kojima been trying to replace him and Kevin Feige basically found someone for him cause they could not find a American that can do a gruff voice but that would make Kojima the nice guy cause he could have called Hayter out for being greedy. I bet you he demanded more money again but they found someone else this time then took to twitter like as a last resort so all you ppl out here not going to buy the game for Hayter you are being used open your eyes watch the up at noon video if you think I’m lying she said it with her own mouth what really happened.

[-Foxtrot]

Mate if he was asking for more money then why did they get Kiefer Suthland, a high profile actor. David Hayter would of been cheaper and Hayter is a bit of an actor as well so he could of done the mo cap. Besides he should of done away with the Japanese voice actor. Theres a bigger fanbase for him then the Japanese one

[extermin8or]

@joe go reread the article she isnt talking about twin snakes... but they rerecorded the audio for mgs1 all those years ago and werent going to pay the voice actors for the rerecording they were choosing todo. So he demanded to be paid for the time soent doing that which tbh is perfectly fair I think? So I got from that they initially offered to pay him less than they normally would the same as like aby other voice actor in the world who doesnt have experience etc behind them. She also states that they deserved pay for that work AND that it was over 15 years ago... that isnt the reason and if he had demanded more money which I doubt then why was he so clearly out of the know when mgs5 was revealles...

[SnakeCQC]

I know right. I still cant believe they used kiefer

[KrimsonKody]

Where's the bom...uh-hmm,
I mean, where's the Metal Gear!?
Lol.

[SnakeCQC]

lol

[theoriginaldon]

this game is based on naked snake when he turns to big boss in the late 80s right before solid snake xD SO I BELEAVE WISHFULL THINKING THATY THEY ARE REDOING ALL THE MGS SERIES THAT WOULD BE AMAZING

[Joe913]

Maybe he would redo the Metal Gear games but I doubt he go all the way to Metal Gear 4 I would be so pissed.

[ZHZ90]

I was shocked when I saw Kiefer(Star of 24 series)(Or someone else instead of Hayter in general) is voicing Snake instead of Hayter.

[Pillsbury1]

I have a feeling the end of mgs5 is going to surprise us all...

[Chaos_Raiden]

I have a feeling that the entirety of MGS5 will surprise us all.

[extermin8or]

Anyone noticed what appears to be a piece of metal in snakes forhead in the trailers... is it actually snake is my question? I meanbhe appears to massacre a load of innocent imprisoned african civilians at one point.... thats not the Snake we no ore or post big boss...

[AKS]

!

[KrimsonKody]

I believe that David Hayter is in the game somehow at some point.
Kojima said that "he won't be voicing Solid Snake", but he never said anything like "we no longer need Hayter" or "Hayter will have no role in MGSV".
I think there's a trick in there somehow. There's no way that Keifer can support all the voices of Snake.
Hmm, what if....(wishful thinking)....that once you come to the end of MGSV that (gasps) it takes you into the Shadow Moses incident?
(!)

& if all that I'm mentioned is false, then Kojima is just a playa Hayter!

[WitWolfy]

"he won't be voicing Solid Snake", but he never said anything like "we no longer need Hayter"

Dude thats stretching it, sounds like the whole ME 3 ending back in the day where people only read what they wanted to read, then making outrageous assumptions on it like its some kind of God riddle or something.

[Brazz]

Theory:
We are not going to play whit bigboss in this game, but whit Mr. grayfox that for some process (bizarre as Liquid possessing Ocelot from "a implanted arm") Fox won the appearance and many of the memories of bigboss to perform some mission, for reasons not yet determined.

[TheOneEyedHound]

I kinda,have made that theory myself.

If hayter is in the game, he will be in Ground Zeros not Phantom pain.
If Grey Fox or not.

"Grey Fox is Big Boss's most trusted Leutaniet"Have we seen anything as of right now, that will make you think that was true? If Grey Fox is Big Boss, Grey Fox surely deserves that title.

[Tainted Gene]

I saw a video saying putting out the theory that Gray Fox is "Big Boss"... so as a fan of the MGS series for over 12 years and a huge fan of Hayter, I have subscribed wholesale to this theory until proved otherwise (aka until MGSV is released).

So I am with you Brazz

[extermin8or]

Your "some bizzare process" I call it now... something todo with what appears to be a chunkbof metal in his head in the trailers.."

[theoriginaldon]

brazz I think ill take 2 of whatever your taking xD , U GUYS REALLY DONT KNOW , METAL GEAR ,

[Brazz]

take 3, and if the golden-skinned redhead riding a silver unicorn with blue wings does not appear, take the 4th, but do not you dare take the 5th because the sea elephants may appear ... u do not want the sea elephants to appear, believe me ... . I'm dead serious! just stay with the golden redhead!

[Tainted Gene]

You should check this out then...

[Brazz]

great video man! good thing to see other metalgear fan that know about the "grayfox" theory! crossing my finger for this to be true! gray fox deserve a metal gear!

[No_Pantaloons]

Kojima's been on thin ice with me since his raiden stunt in mgs2, i'll wait and see, but this may be the first metal gear I don't buy.

[Joe913]

How about Quiet he did say she was a main protagonist in the game and that’s all you been seeing lately more of her than BB himself. I hope not I would hate if that was the case I just want to play as BB no surprises and see his complete fall to become a bad guy once and for all.

[extermin8or]

Well tbh I didnt have any wish to see as much of quiet as weve seen lately.... but I certaibly dont want to see as much of big boss :p

[Drewminati]

first same fisher now snake.. sigh

[theoriginaldon]

THE ONLY ONES THEY NEED TO DO ARE THE ONES FROM NINTINDO the first metal gear , staring solid when he fights bigboss IN THE 80S right after PHANTOM OF PAIN I believe and also they need to do mgs1 mgs2 mgs2

[Joe913]

@Foxtrot I'm just saying that might be what happened for all we know Kojima could have been looking for a replacement since Twin Snakes because that is a dick move he did if what this lady is saying is the truth. But the thing for me is the fact that whoever told the story he gave up money so everyone can come back and do twin snakes is BS and that is the main reason ppl are behind him if ppl found out he just another greedy Hollywood guy would they still be behind him cause if her story is true Hayter would not have been snake a long time ago and Hayter basically extorted Kojima lol. And another tidbit just because Kiefer Suthland do movies doesn’t mean they paid him millions to do MGSV a lot of American stars do commercials and stuff overseas for way less than what they would do them for here or if David Hayter tried to get more money again Kojima could have been like if they are going to pay so much money why not get a real actor it would maybe cut cost because Sutherland could do voice and mocap if it was Hayter he would do voice and someone else would have to do mocap I do not believe Hayter could have pulled off mocap it has been a long time since he acted in a movie and the last movie I liked were he acted was guyver and he sucked in those movies I was just really into guyver at the time lol.

[extermin8or]

But its not a dixk move they wanted him to record coice over again and not pay his full rate is what im getting from it infact she makes it sound lije they didnt want to pay at all... she even says "they were entitled to be oaid for that"....

[Welcome2Die]

My theory is that they are going to bring back Solid Snake at some point again and HAyter will be back...

[ForgivenZombie]

If Hayter isn't in it, I won't buy it.
