Kiefer Sutherland as Snake/Big Boss (MGSV)
 

Metal Gear fans,
I heard the rumor about 5 or 6 months ago, but it was finally confirmed that Kiefer Sutherland is the new voice and the facial mo-cap actor for Snake/ Big Boss in the new video game... Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. I liked David Hayter as Snake, but I like this news as well. It's not a bad choice for the new game, and leaves me to wonder who will be in mind for the role if and/or when the film ever finally reaches the casting stage. I have some qualified names to suggest, but that would be an entirely different discussion.

Here is one of many links...

E3 isn't until next week. However, yes this happened and YES this is stupid. Konami's sad descent from relevance continues.

I don't even care about Metal Gear Solid anymore. I preordered the Legacy collection and I'm going to wipe my hands of the series. What a shame.

Metal Gear Solid is one of the few Japanese game franchises that HASN'T gone downhill like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy did.

Both MGS4 and Rising were great games and I expect MGSV to be excellent.

I love Metal Gear, from the MSX games to the Solid series. I am a fanboy through and through.

I don't think it is the las we've seen (heard) from Hayter, but i do like having Jack Bauer as Big Boss.

I was going to get that collection, but I already have every game that it contains... I would still get it to add on to my MGS collection, but I have more important things to be concerned with. If you already own it, at least it will be there in case somebody wants to buy it off you. Maybe a friend will use it? In any case, it's an awesome collection.

Maybe they replaced Hayter because Big Boss in this story, is starting to get older. After all, In MGS4 "old" Big Boss was played by Richard Doyle, not David Hayter. So maybe they will bring David Hayter back when they bring "SOLID" Snake back.

With Big Boss story line coming to a close, i really hope for a Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake remakes withing a modern engine

Yes! Both stories could easily fit into one epic remake... :tgrin: I thought they would've put that out already between 5 to 10 years ago. I remember reading an article somewhere about that being what the prequel stories are leading up to...
