  • Keifer = Snake?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

WTF?!?

This make zero sense at all. Hayter has been iconic as Snake, why change it now?

The ONLY reason I can think of this happening is Big Boss and Solid Snake appearing in the game at the same time. When that last happened, they had a different voice actor for Big Boss. If that's not the case, this is silly and unnecessary. As much as I love Keifer, Hayter has been Snake for 15 years. Anyone else would sound silly

Same goes for Sam Fisher. And yet, here we are.

Professional actor (Ironside) vs voice actor (Hayter). Not only that, they replaced him with a MUCH more expensive actor which is the opposite of logic

We'll see, I was apprehensive about Tricia Helfer voicing Kerrigan in Starcraft 2, but I've actually enjoyed her performance(The voice and acting, not Blizzard's butchering of the story) ;p

She's pretty great. She did EDI in ME2/3 real well.

Professional actors might get paid more, but they don't get paid the same rate for voice work as they do for real acting.

He'd still be more expensive than Hayter just for being able to use his name.

Again, doesn't make sense unless they're on screen at the same time. The more I think about it, the more that seems to be the likely scenario

Every time I see this thread I see "Kefir = Shake" and I think this thread is about the delicious yogurt drink. Very disappointing every time.

Watch the trailer, you won't be disappointed anymore :-)
