With the announcement of Metal Gear Solid Delta, fans are happier than ever to see this iconic video game character again. Konami has finally listened to fans’ requests and is becoming much more active in developing games and franchises that players have been asking for years. While waiting, these fans experimented on social media, and the results were more than fun.

On X, a user took the opportunity to show what Solid Snake would look like with the face of his original voice actor, David Hayter. The result amazed the franchise’s fans, who appreciated how it appeared on the body of the upcoming new version of Solid Snake.

Remember, the actor has voiced this character for years, and it wouldn’t have been a bad choice for the studio to include his face as well as his voice as part of this iconic character.

Max Payne’s Creator, Sam Lake, Was Also Part of This Fun Experiment Involving Metal Gear Solid

Users continued to play with these possibilities and also added the face of the well-known Sam Lake to the body of the new Solid Snake. This director is the creator of games like Alan Wake and Max Payne.

The outcome is truly remarkable, prompting fans to jokingly compare it to Metal Max Gear Solid Payne. This particular director has already utilized his face for various character roles; one of his talents is his ability to act quite effectively with his face.

These versions of the iconic character went viral on X, and players generally loved the result. Most likely, in Lake’s case, he will also lend his face to the new version of Max Payne. Remedy is working hard to complete a remake of the first two titles about this character. Fans of one of the popular cult games of the 2000s are eagerly awaiting a trailer or gameplay to be more hyped about this title.

For now, Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater does not have an official release date, but according to leaks, the game will arrive sometime this year. The title is scheduled to be released on PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. It will mark this character’s return in a completely new and improved version of one of the best titles in this franchise, according to critics and players alike. This is the first step for Konami to regain the trust of its fans.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
