Snake's Voice Actor Might Not Return for Ground Zeroes

[Frostbite3789]

David Hayter is the voice of the goodguy Snakes, that's not going to change anytime soon. If it did, I'd be done with the series, perhaps a bit petty but it's still true.

Have you played Peace Walker? I wouldn't call Big Boss a 'good guy' in that game. Especially at y'know...the ending.

I never did like Hayter THAT much, always preferred the Japanese voice to snake, until I played MGS4. He was bloody brilliant as Old Snake and shone when compared to the Japanese voice. Even now when I replay the games I play MGS1-3 in Japanese and the fourth in English.

 

[uchytjes]

While it wouldn't be the same without David's voice behind the character I would still buy the game provided it is on PC or 360. I'm almost regretting not getting a PS3 now.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

David Hayter is Snake; there's just no two ways about it. It's the damn rules.

What does Snake have to say about this?

. . .

Huh, how fitting.

 

[Genocidicles]

Maybe Big Boss is old enough in Ground Zeros that they'll get Richard Doyle (who voiced him in MGS4) to voice him instead?

 

[Zelgon]

Good. Now huge fans of MGS will feel how I feel when it was announced that Michael Ironside will not be returning as Sam Fisher Broke my heart.

 

[Rad Party God]

Guyver

How bad were those films? i cant believe i watched the second one knowing how bad the first one was.

Well, actually, the second one is a lot much better than the first one, it was less campy, but equally ridiculous, the major difference was David Hayter himself spicing things up a bit

 

[Rellik San]

This would be for MGS what Kevin Conroy mostly retiring from Batman is.

BATMAN DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT NOW AND NEVER WILL! AND NEITHER WILL SNAKE! AND THE PEOPLE ON MY FACEBOOK JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE HURT!

*Runs and cries like a little girl*

(The worst part, that's only a slightly satirical response, but no matter how much I resist it, a large part of me feels that way.)

Wouldn't mind the guy who did the voice for Big Boss in MGS4. I think this is a perfect chance for him to take that role considering Naked Snake is now a completely different person.

And David Hayter should voice Solid Snake if they evre decide to remake the game about Outer Heaven

 

[Infernai]

D-d-david's not gonna voice Snake..? Damn it, I don't think i can take this.

Richard Doyle? Yeah, given how old Vic Boss er, Big Boss looks in this game, it's understandable why he might be doing it over Hayter. Also Hayter said he wouldn't really want to voice anybody like Old Snake again because it did murder to his voice. Not to say I still wouldn't feel broken by his absence. T.T

MG1 & 2 remakes with modern tech? I'd do something stupid and violent for that.

They really should remake MG1 and 2 considering how important they're suppose to be

Should add more content and backstory that fleshes out the story as a whole

 

[Scrythe]

Maybe Big Boss is old enough in Ground Zeros that they'll get Richard Doyle (who voiced him in MGS4) to voice him instead?

That's exactly what I was thinking. I honestly wouldn't mind so much if that's the route they took.

Besides, not that many people are going to rage that Big Boss all of a sudden sounds suspiciously a lot like The Fury.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

There are some characters who's voices are simply irreplaceable. If they go along with a new voice for Snake they may as well reboot the franchise because it just won't be the Snake we all know and love. That voice is just too iconic and recognizable to be replaced.

 

[Little Gray]

While I think David Hayter pretty much is Snake I could live with a different voice actor. I am not saying that I would like it its just that it would not stop me from buying the games. I would still be really pissed off about it though unless it was Richard Doyle. The new voice actor would have to do an absolutely blow me away amazing job though to even compare.

I think if they replaced him thats really the only way they could go without pissing off a ton of fans.

Exactly, I stopped playing and traded in my copy of lego batman 2 for the horrible Joker (seriously it was like fucking adam west batmans joker) Mark Hamill Is the only one to voice the Joker in any game or cartoon, and David Hayter is the only one who can voice Snake( be it solid or naked)

 

[rasta111]

Seriously, if this actually happens I think I will die a little inside... A little more.

David? DAAAAVVVVIDDDDD D;

 

[ninjaRiv]

I'd hate to see Hayter leave but if they did have to replace him, I think only Steve Blum could do it.

 

[DSK-]

Take away David Hayter and you take away away the very essence of Snake. David Hayter is Snake, they are one and the same now. Plus if they did replace Hayter, if Snake's voice even sounds slightly different I imagine the fan backlash would be 10 times worse than the MGS2 "hey you get to play as this whiny "man" in a wig for the rest of the game" backlash.

So much this. He is the character. Also, the things he has done in the production of the last few MGS games (I believe he helped with script writing and other stuff (could be wrong), as well as his ability to speak Japanese and converse with the developers first hand) makes him all the more best suited for the role.

The only replacements I could really see working are Steve Blum, Ron Perlman and Michael Ironside....OR Egoraptor!

 

[Eric Milligan]

They should replace him with Kurt Russel, the guy who played the character that Snake was based on: Snake Plissken.
