Are they really the same person, the writer and the actor?

Yes. --68.33.179.8 03:15, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Pretty amazing, huh?

It seems that the author(s) of this page have confused David Hayter with Steven Jay Blum on several projects. It happens frequently, but they are indeed two different people. --User:The_S 10:46, October 23, 2005

[edit] E.A. Sports

I have heard he is also the voice of "E.A. Sports, It's in the game." at the start of every E.A. Sports game. Is this true? JP Godfrey 15:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I've heard this rumor before, and I have also heard that it is false. However I can't be sure. If your not sure about it, you should probably remove it.--209.147.90.202 01:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

He actually isn't the voice of EA Sports. THe voice is that of Andrew Anthony, and was confirmed to me by EAsports.com (through a customer service ticket) but also in an article on IGN back a few years. The article can be found here. http://ign64.ign.com/articles/161/161571p1.html As such, I'm removing this erroneous information from Hayter's page.Docbengal 02:01, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the E.A sports reference within the trivia section since it has been confirmed to be Andrew Anthony as the above poster mentioned. dudeyall 11:28 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I could almost swear that I read Hayter confirm that it's him, something along the lines of "I was in the studio recording some lines, they asked me if I could try the 'EA Sports' line, and I did it." Has anybody else read this? Maybe he recorded the line but they used someone else's version? -Asriel 20:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

THAT'S WRONG!!! I also spoke with IGN and David Hayter is the voice. User "Docbengal" didn't understand that Andrew Anthony did the voice for the TV commercials- that's it. It also says that right on that article from IGN. The line for the commercials is different; it says, "If it's in the game, it's in the game". Daivd Hayter does the voice for the EA games; it's even in the credits at the end of any EA Game that included that line. I'm adding it in. It's pretty funny how people are idiots and think they're all rough with their information. But I'm not like that. I'm done.

[edit] Trivia

I did a little rewording and grammatical editing to the trivia section. It still needs a little work, I think.

I removed the entire first trivia entry. The unverified statement about Kojima liking English voice acting doesn't seem worth noting in this article. I think it's also unlikely that English voice acting was used for Integral simply because Kojima may have liked Hayter's voice. The statements that the Japanese versions of MGS2: Substance and MGS3: Subsistence give the choice of either Japanese or English voice acting is, as far as I know, entirely untrue (unless the Wikipedia entries on those two games are incorrect), and they're really not relevant statements.

I removed the last sentence in the second entry: "However, many users were dissapointed when they learned the Soundtrack was reworked, if not, totally remade, as well." This is irrelevant.

Citations are also needed for the second and third (now first and second) trivia entries, but I don't know how to insert the "[citation needed]" into the article.

I also believe that the final statement in the biography section should either be moved into the trivia section, or removed altogether: "It is speculated that Hayter could play Solid Snake in the announced live-action Metal Gear Solid movie, or possibly work on the screenplay adaptation." This was simply some speculation by GameSpot, and shouldn't be in the biography, and the statement about Hayter possibly working on the screenplay is already mentioned in the trivia section.

--68.114.154.249 19:44, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I am readding first one unless you could seriously find reason to find it unverifiable.

I have the actual article from magazine GameInformer. It is a Issue 104, revealing Integral's reason for English voice-work. This issue is one which also contains the interview based on the original third trivia. The back issue of 152 saids MGS2:S and MGS3:S has following info I have mentioned. Also, I have MGS2:S NTSC/DVD-Region 2 and it features English voice work.

--Dooly00000 21:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

So the magazine actually said that the reason for the English voices in Integral is because Kojima said he prefers English voices? If that's the case, then it's fine, but I think it should be mentioned in the article that Game Informer was the source of information, and not that it was simply a rumor. However, I still think this is simply something that should be on the MGS page, and not this page, unless Kojima specifically said he prefers Hayter over Akio Otsuka (Snake's Japanese voice actor).

As for the voices in Substance and Subsistence, I do know that the Japanese version of Substance has English voices and Subsistence has Japanese voices, but what you're saying is that they contain both Japanese and English voices. According to the Wikipedia articles on those games, and as far as I have always understood, this isn't the case. The Japanese version of Substance contains only English voices, and the Japanese version of Subsistence contains only Japanese voices.

I'll leave everything as it is for now.

--68.114.154.249 01:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

You're right, it isn't the case - The Japanese version of Substance only contains English voices, and the Japanese version of Subsistence only contains Japanese voices. And this particular item doesn't really look like it belongs in the article. - DoubleCross 00:24, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

In that case I'm just going to edit the entry for now, but I won't delete it. I removed the incorrect information about Subsistence, and edited the sentence about Substance so that it says the game only contains English voice acting. As for the first part, I just reworded it to sound better, but I still think it should be moved to the Integral section of the MGS article (and the part that "Kojima might like David Hayter's voice better"--as if he actually gave an indication that he prefers the voice over Akio Otsuka--should be removed). -68.114.154.249 16:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Metal Gear Solid 4

Any one know if he is doing the voice of Snake in the English version?--88.107.119.42 08:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

That's yet to be confirmed by Konami and Kojima Productions --Simsimius 19:06, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

But looking as Japanese uses same voice-actor as previous releases, likely, they'll use same voice actors. I think it'll make everyone happy (and makes people's life easier) also. --Dooly00000 (talk • contribs • count) 17:27, 09 September 2006 (UTC)

I just added a cite that he is

[edit] Seperation of Voice Work and his other works

I think this is important, because just rather then having everything in one spot, we can have it seperated, since his works are considered to be many different, with voice-acting as primary. --+Dooly00000 (talk • contribs • count) 18:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zasalamel?

Is there any evidence that he voiced this Soul Calibur 3 character? I'm not able to find any. The S 22:11, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jewish?

Is there a source to confirm this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.96.210.48 (talk) 02:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Vandalism?

I noticed a small amount of what could be considered vandalism in the info box under his picture. It was small amounts, marital status was put as alive, family had 1 wife 1 child. Its nothing big, I changed it back. Just to let y'all know.--Captain Capatilism 15:36, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WATCHMEN

So is he not going to write or direct the Watchmen movie? 08:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
