Snake’s Ageing Well

Hideo Kojima recently tweeted a side-by-side then and now of METAL GEAR SOLID. Within a short technological development space of 17 years, you’re looking at photorealism at its finest to date:

Snake Then & Now

METAL GEAR’s epic narratives are top-notch too, to mention the obvious. Not sure about Kiefer Sutherland replacing David Hayter though. Two very distinct, very different voices. Kojima-san just wanted 1984 Snake (49 years old) to sound different I guess, or if I was to take an educated guess, I would say that Sutherland’s experience as an actor out performs Hayter’s assumed ability to do live motion capture to Kojima-san’s perfectionist standards. Not a bad thing.
