There IS the possibility that they're trying to transition to Big Boss's voice as heard in MGS4, when he had a different voice actor from Solid Snake. It's likely David Hayter will still play the role of Solid Snake if he makes another appearance.

I'd be surprised if he could even do the voice after playing Old Snake in MGS4...

That had to kill his voice...

It wouldn't be the same without Hayter. Guess the guy was tired of the same role. Though this man was dedicated to the role before, I think he was willing to give up half his pay in the Twin Snakes remake just to make sure the rest of the cast would return. If that voice we heard in the trailer was suppose to be him.... at least get a grizzled sounding person. It doesn't feel right man.

He is Solid Snake.

I sense tricksy Kojima shenanigans.
This is exactly what was going through my head.

But to be fair, denial is the first stage of grief.

Indeed Hayter, you had a good run.

Although Kojima you better not be pulling a MGS3 intro on me here. I'm not falling for the bait and switch twice. Knowing the internet perhaps a internet leak of the credits will shed some light on Kojima's shenanigans.

Speaking of Raiden... he's the new voice actor for Snake! Quinton Flynn as Raiden as Solid Snake! It's brilliant!

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan I think we all know this is a joke/hoax. It's like when they tried to say Phantom Pains had nothing to do with the series and was a new IP. I don't buy it.

That's what I'm thinking of as well.

I never played any of the MGS games, but I love them from the let's plays and stuff I've seen. No David Hayter would make me a sad panda, but if its for that same guy in MGS4, then I would at least be OK.

Ppl, come down. Reason for Snake to not have Voice in the game is April 1st.

(Yahzee voice on)

David not returning to play Snake. "Oh, no" sad the fans "What are we going to do?".

"Tro-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo" sad Kojima "Its April 1st, Bitches!"

(Yahzee voice off)

Its a joke, it has to be, you don't do Animation of the character fist, and then put the voiceover artist last. This is all a Joke from our friendly troll Kojima. Case closed.

It's okay everyone, just play the game muted with the subtitles on and pretend it is Hayter doing the lines! It'll work. Please let it work! D:

Considering that Kojima has reportedly been upset with every single localization of his games, this sounds legit to me. The gravelly clint eastwood voice was developed by the original localization team, and Kojima didn't like the liberties they took with the translation. Seems entirely plausible he would lobby to replace Hayter now that he has the clout to do so. Sometimes I think the MGS games are successful despite Kojima, rather than because of him.

Well, that sucks :(

It won't be the same without [small]Guyver[/small] David's charming gravelly voice.

I dunno, Kojima's been disappearing up his own ego in the last couple of years.

Like when proudly showing of Revengeance to the press it was him that walked out onto the stage and showed off 'his' game (was it the 2011 Spike's? Can't remember). Then when the reaction was let's say... muted, suddenly it's Platinum Games fault and he's publishing videos of the development team apologising for the crappy job they've done while he says it's nothing to do with him. It was a very public humiliation for people he was all too keen to pretend didn't exist when the hype was on his side.

I hope you're right, but if you're not then it smacks of 'no one can be famous for Metal Gear than me' syndrome.
Yup. Peace Walker had inordinate production values for a PSP game as Kojima wanted it to be MGS 5. When it didn't sell he had it put in the HD Collection to "reach a wider audience." Now he's making another Big Boss prequel game? It's like he can't let things go. WE MUST APPRECIATE HIS GENIUS!!!11

This cannot be. Hayter HAS to be Snake. There will be rioting in the streets. The fallout... THE FALLOUT! D:

[sub][small]If you make a Fallout about that I will personally hunt you down.[/small][/sub]

Then again, this is Konami, and they're... not exactly on the ball, these days.

Somehow I doubt Hayter has been dropped as the voice of Solid Snake and more likely Naked Snake's voice actor is changing. I believe it's still possible that we may eventually see another game with Solid Snake taking place before the Shadow Moses Incident. Not likely, but possible.
