The REAL Naked Snake reacts to Metal Gear Solid

[@laurenkaitlyn6341]

within the first 2 minutes Gameology confused Big Boss with Solid Snake. Big Boss isn't 35 years old in MGS4, Solid Snake is.

[@virtualsnake1994]

solid snake is actually 42 in mgs4! but he got the point across...

[@TheRealHappyHuntsman]

David Hayter was confused too. Snake didn't attend Meryl's wedding.

[@alexdperdomo]

I noticed that too, but it's easy to confuse, he was talking about Solid then Naked then an aged Solid on a scene with an also aged Naked

[@caguko]

lol yes they fumbled.

[@shesatwitcherify]

Also, Hayter doesn't voice Big Boss in MGS4, Richard Doyle does. The way they edited this makes it really strange.

[@aye_yuhh]

Love that whoever edited the video can't tell that he wasn't the voice of Big Boss in MGS4

[@vivaladokky]

Hmm... I don't know, think it's David who mispoke. First says Naked Snake and then mistakenly continues on with Big Boss when it's instead Old Snake @1:27 , easy to get them mixed when you voice almost all of them I'd imagine. I think the editor just worked with that they had.

[@zeesiiij]

Yeh it's funny, BIG BOSS who is naked snake in mgs3 was voiced by Richard Doyle in MGS4, who also narrated in peace walker, which they kinda showed in the edit. Obviously David will voice him in MGS DELTA and the original MGS3! So he may have referred to that. 😎👍🤔

Any time I hear him say “you’re pretty good.” I get a good flashback to when I met him earlier this year in April and we met, had a chat, signed my ps1 copy and we took a picture. After we were done he called my name, walks over to me and leans in and says that. I could’ve died right then and been happy lol!

[@Lunaria.Praesentia]

David always sounds so passionate and genuinely grateful when talking about MG or Snake, and that's beyond heartwarming, a lot of actors don't like being identified as just one character from their entire careers, but like I've said, David is grateful, and loves to still being seen as Snake, I love this man from the bottom of my heart

[@jarimyllys6577]

You are right about Hayder. Its his "pride" to be Snake. 💪

[@iudexe3103]

He's the opposite of steven ogg

[@boringrays]

Michael Ironside is almost the same as well

[@Nekomon.]

I also like how he sometimes says "me" in the context of what snake is doing. But it's not like an ego thing. He always says it in a fun way of him embodying the character. He's always extremely grateful for the role and everyone loves him.

Honestly, I don't think the editor knew MGS lore or did enough research. Did David Hayter kinda dirty, because it's such a good interview.

[@Dirkins-o1z]

I'd give them all a pass. The Metal Gear story line is one of the most convoluted and plot hole ridden storylines in all of entertainment.

[@shouryajaiswal124]

His best performance is easily in metal gear solid 1 it sounds smooth, badass and confident yet still has a tinge of sadness and tragedy. You can tell so much about solid snake's personality by just hearing his voice. And that is such a difficult thing to pull of but he absolutely nailed it.

[@majortriangle1432]

true. but y know hes 20y less

[@darkshadow54]

I respectful disagree. For me this voice in Peace walker was his best performance. In Peacewalker, he sounded like a broken, worn out soldier, who just wanted to die, because he was responsible for killing his master: "The Boss." And his whole country has betrayed him, and his master. The love interest is no where to be seen: "Eva". He just seen so sad and broken... an amazing, epic performance man...

[@TOMLEE64]

The part where he’s talking about voicing Old Snake, they thought he voiced Big Boss in mgs4, and then they go and show a clip of Big Boss talking from mgs4. Come on, guys-no clue at all.

Because he never liked him. He openly admitted didnt even wanted David in MGS3 but he had nobody else which was forced t have him voicing John.

[@kodybuffettwilson]

​@@SeriousDragonify I imagine this along with his idolization of Hollywood and its celebrities was a deciding factor behind him replacing David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland when he got around to directing MGSV. He never had any respect for the English cast or cared how much they helped make the series have a lasting mark in the West.

[@mrzclips]

@@kodybuffettwilson yep. iirc he was also upset that David hayter had so many fans despite him not being a famous person. Kojima is a great Director but his incentive to get recognized by hollywood to be part of it is just insane, he doesnt even speak english. I have respect for Kojima being a Game Dev but not as a Person.

[@ogPunkcln]

It's so cool that he can snap his voice to be snake's out of the blue. And not just that, different Snakes, young and old as well.

[@IsaacERAMM]

You pointed out big boss in the video as being 35 years of age, but David was talking about solid snake (big boss' clone), the guy in the black suit.

[@killerking2346]

Also old big boss is not even voiced by David

[@d00termcscooter17]

David was talking about Naked Snake first and for some reason hopped to mgs4 solid snake. I think david caused the confusion this time

[@hunt4gs]

Words can't describe how much I adore this man. My first introduction to him was at 5 years old, playing MGS with my dad. Then I watched him as Sean Barker in Guyver 2: Dark Hero. Guyver has since become one of my favorite anime series of all time, and it's because of him. Whenever Sho transforms, all I can hear is David jumping off that mountain in Dark Hero, and in his proto-Snake voice yelling GUYVER! Thank you David for everything. You've brought me smiles, laughter, and tears along the way. A true icon.

[@Feredizzle]

You've got to have love for David Hayter. I saw him at Comic-Con in 2023. What a great guy!

[@brian7becker]

MGS1 is my all time favorite game. Played back in 1999 when I was 14/15 years old. It was literally a game change in my life... as a gamer and as a person. Solid Snake for me was an example of a man and how to deal with problems and people in my life. I also start learn english by playing MGS... Today I'm 40's but I'm not even close of being that kind of man lol I'm much more a love and peace kind of guy I think... but yeah, thank you Kojima san and David Hayter for this character and it's importance in my life. 🥰
