Either your feet or your shoulders will get cold. All you can do is choose which way to suffer. I couldn't help but think of this phrase while playing FIFA 14. Hundreds of thousands of hours have been poured into the franchise to get it to the point where it stands now, and the fundamentals of the game's mechanics - the very foundations upon which this towering behemoth has been built - are resolutely fixed."

News::Kiefer Sutherland plays Snake in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain


Kiefer Sutherland plays Snake in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Hideo Kojima has revealed.


As part of Konami’s pre-E3 briefing, Sutherland was revealed as having lent his acting abilities and voice to the lead role in The Phantom Pain.


Kojima also said that the open world game has a greater sense of tension than previous Metal Gear games, and that it would deal with themes like race and revenge. Sutherland was considered ideal for the role because the game’s tone is much darker and it required a subtle, subdued performance.


He was “the perfect fit in terms of age and performance, so we made him an offer,” said Kojima. “We wanted to try and see just how far we could go in making a living, breathing Snake.”


He also promised more depth than ever before in terms of the new game’s storytelling and atmosphere.

The voice of Snake for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been revealed today -- it's non other than Jack Bauer himself -- Kiefer Sutherland. Kojima stated during Konami's press conference that the year is 1984, and since Snake is 49 years old, they need an older voice for the role.


Kojima states that he's the "perfect fit with age and performance." Sutherland has worked in games before, including Call of Duty: World at War and Street Fighter X Tekken. Honestly, I'm okay with this, as I think he could bring a lot to the role. Besides, it's not like Hayter ever can't come back, right?

The campaign follows Rome's transition from a Republic to an Empire, and stretches from Spain in the West to Afghanistan in the East, from Britain in the North to Egypt in the South. The series has always delivered two games in one. The first is a game of grand strategy where the player manages diplomacy, tax rates, building projects, army movement, and all the other duties an emperor needs to manage. The second is a real time tactical game that puts players in the role of a general on the field of battle as soldiers clash with each other in some of the most cinematic historical battles gaming has to offer."
