Troy Baker has asked fans to "reserve judgement" on Kojima's decision to cast Kiefer Sutherland as Snake until they play Metal Gear Solid 5, stating that the 24 star "knocked it out of the freaking park".

Speaking at last weekend's Indy PopCon 2015, Baker, who plays Ocelot in this September's game, talked up Sutherland's performance, explaining that he was "glad that I wasn't Snake".

"To his credit, Kiefer Sutherland knocked it out of the freaking park, and he came in and he put the work in," he said. "I love David Hayter, I love David, he's a good dude and he's Snake, but so is Kiefer. And that guy showed up, rolled up his sleeves and got dirty on this game. So reserve judgement until you play it. You only have like two more months left and trust me it'll be worth it."

Baker also discussed his admiration for Kojima, explaining that "because Kojima decided to make Metal Gear, so many other people have decided to make games.
