Keifer Sutherland is the middle-aged voice of Snake?!

Not sure how I feel about this . . .

I'm fine with it. Big Boss is getting older, and so should his voice. 

I don't mind this at all. 

I cool with this selection. Provided that the Keif knows how to be a proper voice actor. I know he's done a couple(2) games prior to this, but I haven't played them, so I can't speak to his voice work.

If anyone's badass enough to be the new voice of the Big Boss, it's Jack Bauer!

I love every single one of you. A forum where people UNDERSTAND the decision Kojima made. I cringe everytime I read an article about MGS5 and it's "Snake this, snake that", like if Snake is the character you'll be playing as. What is so hard about understand that Big Boss is near 50? 

Why now? Why didn't they change Snake's voice in MGS4? It does not make sense!

I'm completely fine by this. But I think something is being kept from us. Something just seems weird. Hayter is hating on his Twitter account today. Then he changes his picture with one of him and Kojima. The whole video about Sutherland being Big Boss didn't add up either. Not once did he say I'm Snake, or recite a line or anything. Something just seems off...

For the love of sweet Jesus, it's Big Boss who's getting the new voice actor. His voice was already changed in MGS4 to avoid confusion with SOLID Snake....

Yeah I know, forgot to mention that, haha. But yeah...something is smells fishy. I'm hoping Sutherland DOES do the voice for Big Boss and Solid Snake makes some sort of cameo with Hayter's voice. That would be epic as hell. Of course especially if a remake for Metal Gear and MEtal Gear 2 occur!

Everytime I read an article about a MGS game with Big Boss, people usually mention Solid Snake, confusing the two. Whether he did or didn't mistake the two, Big Boss did need a new voice actor. Regardless to say, we'll just have to wait and see. When has Kojima ever let any of us down? I trust his decision will be for the best. Hayter WILL come back to voice Solid Snake. I know Kojima will remake MG1 and MG2 to finally retire on the franchise that kickstarted his career. 

Hayters gonna hate...lol, but seriously though; Kojima is a freaking genius. So, I'm cool with it... I trust his decision with picking Jack Bauer over Hayter.

KS is probably perfect for the part. Hayter's VO started sounding more and more ridiculous as the series went on - it got more growly and hi-pitched from MGS2>MGS3>MGS4, and thus more cartoony and unrealistic :/

I agree.  To be honest, I really don't even like Hayter as Snake.  His voice always sounded silly to me, so I'm quite fine with this change.

On the other hand, I can understand why MGS fans are upset.  Hayter has been doing the voice a long time now, so it's easy to see why fans are upset.  I know if they changed, say, Nolan North as Nathan Drake I'd be livid, so I see where the majority of fans are coming from.

Regardless of what side of the fence you're on, I think we can agree that, if nothing else and all bias aside, Keifer Sutherland does have a good voice, and he should be able to play the role effectively.

Besides, thankfully they did pick Keif and not some overused, overrated actor like Mark Wahlberg or The Rock.

I'm fine with it. Big Boss is getting older, and so should his voice.

Doesn't matter to me personally, Snake is epic no matter who voices him. :)

...Couldn't agree more

Not sure how I feel about this . . .

I feel like I'm the only one who isn't a fan of Keifer Sutherland. David Hayter is Snake to me and will always be Snake to me. I know it won't be the same but I am such a fanboy to MGS that I'll get it anyway.

It's gotta be this, I don't really care what Sutherland is saying or even Kojima at this point. The trailers so far have way too many continuity errors in the trailer for this to be Solid Snake. Supposedly the game is set in 1984 which would make Solid Snake 12 years old, but Kojima is saying Solid Snake is 49 in this game. Also at the beginning of this trailer the guy "Solid Snake" is riding with mentions that he will have to rebuild his private army. Solid Snake never had a private army, but Big Boss did.

Also in the first trailer you can see that "Solid Snake" has a prosthetic arm. We have never seen an older version of Solid Snake with a prosethetic. Another thing is you can "Solid Snake" smoking a cigar. Again that's a trait of Big Boss not Solid Snake. 

Yet another thing is the eye patch, Big Boss had an eye patch on his right eye (just like in the latest trailer), and Solid Snake never wore an eye patch as a younger man. Even when he got "old" he wore the mechanical eye patch on his left.

It's clear to me that Solid Snake has not even appeared in the trailers for MGS5 as of yet. My only question is why is Kojima bothering with the misderection when it's incredibly clear in the trailers who we are going to be playing as.

Kiefer has an amazing voice. And you're seriously going to concern yourself with this despite how **** amazing the game looks? Geez! Some people!

Sounds like he is trying too hard to sound like him and I hate his acting.
