Metal Gear Solid V Drops David Hayter As Voice Of Solid Snake
- Thread starter Earnest Cavalli
- Start date
I'll miss Hayter as the voice of Snake, but seeing as how this game seems like it'll focus on Big Boss, whom we all know is voiced by Richard Doyle in MGS4, I can understand him not being brought on for this project... Kind of, at least. It'll be a weird transition, but at least not one that'll seem horrendously unnatural.
I really, REALLY hope that Hayter's only been cut as the voice of Naked Snake though, not voicing Big Boss? Alright, sure, I can tolerate that... But not voicing Solid Snake? Hell's to the no, that would just be wrong.

Yeah I could see Richard Doyle doing the voice for Naked Snake/Big Boss in this one. After all chronologically this would take place in the 80s so he's getting up there. It would make sense that we would have to transition from the younger Hayter to the older-sounding Doyle, especially since the trailer showed Snake looking more like Big Boss than in previous games.
Considering I haven't played a Metal Gear game since Snake Eater I don't see myself being terribly hung up about this.
However his voice was just so iconic to the brand I feel unless he's suffering from some kind of ailment that affects his voice there is no practical reason to remove him.
This is a "Bad Decision".

Only way this makes sense is if David was asking too much money.
Otherwise, it doesn't make anysense. What? Replace him with someone new so they can pretend to do David's snake?

This can only mean that Snake isn't in the game at all! It's Raiden with a fake beard!
Time Paradox!

This makes sense. At the end of Peace Walker, Snake did a big transformative step into Big Boss and if the trailer is playing tricks with us, it looks like this takes place 9+ years after that with the other big event happening during that time. This would be the place to do the change and even though he was old, there was still a rookie feel to Peace Walker that I imagine will be gone nowAkatsukiLeader13 said:

You made me read this in their voices!
On Topic: while annoyed at first, I think this can be a good thing. I mean, at some point big boss can't be just like solid snake and a good way to represent that change would be a new voice actor (cause he's old and weathered). It's not like they had both used Hayter's voice in mgs4
Ground Zeroes will have Hayter, after the 9 year coma before MGS5 I am fairly certain it will be Doyle.
I 'unno, if we're playing as Big Boss this time round again; it'd be an interesting dynamic to separate him from Snake. The final scene of MGS4 isn't David Hayter talking to himself, after all.
EDIT: Hey news team, don't you think saying that MGSV isn't going to have David Hayter as the voice of Solid Snake is a little misleading, considering that so far this doesn't seem to be a game that's going to involve Solid Snake?
Everyone else, don't you think you're being a *mite* presumptuous?

Wasn't it said that
Makes sense that Hayter wouldn't be doing his voice, especially since
So, if this isn't Kojima pulling our legs, I am both completely slapped and also not surprised.
But this is Kojima. He hid the game under a different title.
I'm expecting nothing until it's here, and even then I'm ready for the plot to fuck my head open.
Big Boss was in a coma for 10 years?
He wasn't voiced by Hayter in 4. He had aged a fair bit by then so it's natural his voice would have changed.

This is sad news but I won't accept anything as fact until I have the game in my hands and I am playing it! Kojima's tricky like that.
Besides, he can't use Steve Blum; he's already been a Metal Gear Solid character:
As far as Silicon Knight's Twin Snakes goes, I heard that Hayetr actually paid the original voice actors out of his own wage in order to get them to return and redo the voices for the Gamecube remake. What a guy.

This - they (possibly by accident) made it harder for them to justify an old Big Boss to be voiced by Hayter so they might chose to go with the guy doing Big Boss at the end of MGS4.Moontouched-Moogle said:
Doesn't mean that, if we get a young Big Boss or Solid Snake in an upcoming game that it will be without Hayter again.
I was the same about old snake not being young and spry. I was hoping that it was a joke and alas twas not.uchytjes said:
I'd like to think that this is just Kojima playing mind games but on the other hand, if he isn't then that would be pretty disappointing. I mean, Big Boss was voiced by someone else in MGS4, so it's not that unlikely that they decided to go with someone else.
Anyway, in case it's just a trick by Kojima, I'd like to be pleasantly surprised, so I'm going to assume Hayter really isn't coming back.

YOu have my sympathy David Hayter (i don't think that's cashable at the bank or in the collective memory of the gamer subconscious though).
For once, just for once, i would not mind having been duped. On the other hand, i was sceptical towards MGS3 after initially playing two, and that worked out fine.

Well, this is getting close to the Outer Heaven Uprising, and there needs to be a difference between Big Boss and Solid Snake. Since MGS5 and Ground Zeroes are seemingly taking place in Big Boss's story, I hope they're getting Richard Doyle from MGS4 in.
