In reply to ChatWraithShichi. My point was that he absolutely could've done mocap for Big Boss.

In reply to Covarr. David Hayter, a grown man, is not going to be able to do performance capture for a child version of solid snake.

Completely agree with you. I wanted to give Kiefer a chance. But the man struggles even with basic lines such as : she survived. It’s becoming a running joke. He mumbles words and sounds like he just came home from drinking all day and reading stuff from a transcript with very little effort put in.
But the latest trailer they showed, he was much better. The trailer where he says that when the time comes he will kill Quiet. The only time I was ever impressed with Kiefer and it was just one line…
I really miss Hayter though. He had such a great presence and such a sexy gruff voice. Hayter = Snake. The only time I thought Hayter was not as at his best was in PW. In the other games he was spot on. With MGS1 being my favorite performance. In MGS3 he also recored so many great lines for the mini games like the Ape Escape missions. It always sounds like Hayter really puts so much soul into his VA. Something I never felt with Kiefer’s performance. 🙁

The thing about the motion capture is that Hayter has live action experience as well. Not to say that Guyver 2 was exactly a stellar movie, because it wasn’t, but it would’ve been great to at least give him the chance to audition, y’know?

As for Sutherland, I think it’s completely reasonable to dislike at least what has already been shown in Ground Zeroes. Sure, it’s only a small portion of his overall performance, but what’s there is incredibly mumbly and often incoherent. I really hope TPP doesn’t have this problem, but it’s most certainly front and center in Ground Zeroes.
