He's right.
MGS: Ground Zeroes trailer in "ENGLISH" UP!
- Thread starter Batzi
- Start date
He's right.
Yeah. This looks more like Far Cry 3 than Metal Gear.

Solidus had the same Japanese voice actor who does both Solid Snake and (non-MGS4) Big Boss, and his voice was basically the exact same but "older" sounding.
Even Liquid's voice in Japanese was deep and gravelly.
Too bad for you. Skipping what might be the best game in the series just for a voice actor is so..well..stupid. But that's just me.
To be fair that was in Peace Walker too.

Story is pretty important to me these days when it comes to games.
If there are going to be 9 hours of cutscenes, they damn well better be good.

The game is gonna end up being called MGS V
And peace walker was an atrocious game. Crippled by handheld design and full of more filler than a JRPG.
Excellent post due to truth.
Oh yeah I am buying used if the cut scenes are as long as MGS4. That shit was so ridiculous that it was the only "game" I played where a bunch of friends would come over to watch the cut scenes.
The story looks like it is going to be more mature this time around, but please Kojima, let the world tells the story.
Dude story is the most important aspect for me and I am getting it because of that and because I am a long time Metal Gear fan and because I love Kojima's work and respect his decisions. If he thinks Kiefer was necessary then it was necessary. Kojima never disappointed and you guys are judging the game when we haven't seen anything yet. They are just replaying the same pieces over and over again just to keep it spoiler free. Even the TGS demos were created for that purpose. Just wait till the final product comes out and judge the game after playing. There is so much awesomeness going on in this game that it's not even funny to joke about "not getting it because of a voice".

I just realized how ridiculous it is the Solid Snake was surprised by Solidus in MGS2. Solidus who is the closest thing to a clone of Big Boss was elected president of the United States, and at no point does anyone say "hey he kinda looks like that war hero / criminal from a few years back". Nor did Snake say " the president sure does look like me / my dad who i personally killed twice".

I think the phrase "Be careful what you wish for" applies pretty well here.

Kind of off-topic, but I'm trying to get into Babylon 5 on GAF's recommendation, but the acting is just horrible. At this point in my life, my time is more important to me. I don't have time to deal with shitty acting, whether it be in games or other entertainment mediums.

Sounded just fine to me. Liked what I heard at E3, liked what I've heard tonight. Sure, it will take some getting used to, but at the same time, it's exciting. Interesting that Christopher Randolph is still a part of the cast. Paz and Chico's voice actors are still there, which is a positive. Robin Atkin-Downe's tone sounded a bit more serious(? Heavier?) than in Peace Walker (though, this is supposed to be a pretty serious game - to a certain degree, anyway).

Never disappointed me.
The only Hayter replacement that would've been acceptable is Kurt Russell.
Yeah I just saw that part. That was awful.
I really hope higher difficulties disable the enemy tagging x ray vision.
Edit: Just saw the Spotted slo-mo. Hope that can be disabled too.
At least they kept the classic spotted sound.
So didn't Kojima hand pick Sutherland for this, like Sakamoto picked Jessica Martin for Samus? I just think with the language barrier they don't know what a compelling English VA sounds like, and that's the problem. They should have left the English voice director's keep doing what they were doing, even if the script was slightly changed in English because of it.
This post gave me cancer and made me HIV positive. I would rather eat my HIV cancerous puke than accept anything in this post.
You don't have to tag them if you don't want to. No tag = no x-ray.

Not the first time Kiefer phoned it in and it won't be the last.
Puke has no trace of cancer or HIV. Your post is pure ignorance as fuck.

Throw my hat in the ring of the disappointment with Keifer camp. Such a disappointment. Why the fuck did Kojima replace Hayter..... 
slap in the fans faces.
slap in the fans faces.Voice director is still Kris Zimmerman.
But I'd actually like to use the binocs, which seem to automatically tag them.
You can't be serious.

Skullface sounds weird.
Big Boss sounds bad. He isn't even trying to sound like Snake...
Big Boss sounds bad. He isn't even trying to sound like Snake...
I am. Unless he pukes "blood" there should be no trace of HIV and Cancer can't be diagnosed through puke. It doesn't work this way.

I didn't say anything when Kojima announced that Hayter got replaced but I wish I did after hearing that awful performance.
He shouldn't sound like Snake. He should sound like Big Boss. I am sure if Solid Snake was still in the game, it would be voiced by David but for now Kiefer should do it for me. I love his voice and I think he will deliver an awesome job and will blow our minds away with his acting skills. David Hayter has no acting skills and his voice went downhill after MGS4. He sounded like Old Snake in PW when he shouldn't have.
I just happen to be a big Jack Bauer fan and if you'd watch 24 (Season 8) you would know that his voice would fit within the context of "Revenge" that MGSV is going to be featuring along with the "Race" theme.

You know how it is when it comes to VOs with Japanese games, they rather waste money and time on dubbing games instead of simply giving us some subtitles, at least give people the choice to use the orginial language with subtitles. Blablabla we have to localize the game so we'll release it months later.
Fuck dubs in all mediums.

How much is Konami paying you?
I understand opinion and all, your absolutely entitled to such, but so far all the posts ive seen from you have only been defensive and seemingly ignoring any and all concerns for V (at least what seems to be the majority fan opinion) is illustrating in its voice department (let alone regen health, etc.). I understand being optimistic, and I will strive to remain enthusiastic for the game itself but the voice direction is terrible.

Kiefer is terrible.... I don't know if I can get past this.

I hope there is more video in the beginning of the game with BB and Kiefer talking so I can associate the voice with the character. Watching that youtube clip it was odd trying to associate that voice with BB with out context of who was speaking.
Hmm...I wonder what happened with her, I always enjoyed her previous projects.

His voice sounds fine... he's just completely phoning it in.

My god...I have been sad about Hayter not voicing Big Boss for these past months but finally hearing Kiefer made me feel terrible. I just ain't right....
I wish they were. Dude, you can't just label one as a fanboy because you disagree with his opinion. I respect yours and I'd appreciate it if you could respect mine. Again, we haven't seen much from the game and to be honest I loved everything we've seen so far and judging the game because of a voice actor is simply not logical at all in my opinion. Why don't we all wait for the game to release and see for ourselves. Metal Gear is more than just a voice.

Sucks to see a series that was a graphical showpiece devolve into this.

I'm willing to give Keifer a shot, but what's the fucking point when everyone around him is going to sound like shit? It's not like he's doing the full body mocap and everyone is going to be in the room with him acting. He's doing the facial mocap. It's a face. Keifer can act, but I don't judge his acting abilities by his facial expressions.
I mean, I'm not a fan of how Hayter's voice became a parody, but Richard Doyle would be more fitting.
It was Kojima's decision to change Snake's voice not Kris. And I agree with him. David Hayter's performance went downhill after MGS4.
