David Hayter: The Thought Of Another Person Voicing Solid Snake Makes Me ‘A Little Ill’
Surely it was a joke? Another bizarre jape from Hideo Kojima. April 1 was pretty close, makes sense. Right? Right? But it’s starting to truly sink in that David Hayter will not be voicing Solid Snake in the next Metal Gear game. That makes us sad, and it apparently makes Hayter a little upset as well.

Let’s Watch Solid Snake Read Shakespeare’s Hamlet
Well, technically, let’s listen, since the video features only the voice behind Snake (David Hayter) and not the game character’s digital self.
You will really want to skip straight to the Hamlet passage itself, which begins 5:00 in.
It’s a fair effort by Hayter given he’s both in character and taking the piss, but it’s still not my favourite reading of the famous passage itself. That honour goes to this.

Comic Book Movies Show Potential Of Video Game Movies
David Hayter isn’t just the English language voice of Metal Gear’s Snake, he also wrote the first X-Men movie. So he probably has a good handle on why it’s so hard to make a good video game movie.
