IMDb confirms Niko Bellic in Grand Theft Auto V

As we all know, Albert De Silva is in GTA V voiced by Ned Luke. Now IMDB confirms Niko Bellic is in GTA V too voiced by the same actor as GTA IV, Michael Hollick!

Bounkass4538d ago

This is great news if you ask me! I wonder if he will be a playable character?

WhiteLightning4538d ago

Not really....he was a bland and boring main character.

He has nothing on CJ, Tommy and hell, even mute Claude.

I found Roman was more interesting then him and thats saying something.

TheFallenAngel4537d ago

CJ was not that good neither. Tommy was the best.

Yeah.. so a character that actually talks and interacts with things in the story is more boring than a mute one right? smh

Coffin874537d ago (Edited 4537d ago )

WHAT?? I loved Niko.
I liked him the first time I layed eyes on him in the Debut trailer.
I loved his accent, his dreams that didn't come true, his past that was haunting him, the way he dealt with it ...

Sure, Tommy Vercetti was still more awesome, but hands down, he was the most awesome psychopath that R* has ever created.
Edit: I think Niko had the deepest personality yet for a GTA main character.

sofocado4537d ago

I think Niko Bellic was the best. I also wonder if we get to play as him at some time.

StraightPath4537d ago

Niko was awesome dont know where you coming from buddy..Niko the most developed character of them all.

BitbyDeath4537d ago

I love Niko as well, he needs to go out with a bang, literally. I'd also settle for torture.

badz1494537d ago

NO! JUST NO! if yes, then another boring GTA confirmed! :-(

You can debunk this rumor as Micheal Hollick said that he was screwed over by R* by getting minnimum wage for his work and the game made millions - he said that he will be not working for R* agin unless the uop his pay.

Fez4537d ago

Didn't Ray Liotta say the same? He got shafted cos he didn't realise how big Vice City was gonna be. Must be quite annoying when you're the main character in a GTA game and don't get paid fairly.

On the other hand, these actors are loaded anyway!

IronFistChinMi4537d ago

Maybe they did offer him more.

farhad2k84537d ago

I agree with sugreev2001..
Luis Lopez was on par with CJ to me.
His story and character was put really well. Hope to see more of him.

Abriael4537d ago

great news or not, the name has been removed. See here: http://n4g.com/news/888648/...

DeadManMcCarthy4537d ago

Hurr durr IMDB confirms Niko Bellic is a voice actor hurr durr. If it ain't confirmed by R* then it isn't confirmed at all.

lol @ trusting a freely editable site like IMDB.

Idiots.

anti-fanboy4537d ago

I hope you get to kill him in V. His accent was so fake it was annoying. He is the worst GTA character.

Simon_Brezhnev4537d ago

I agree with you i hope you do get to kill him.

Gantrfaxx4537d ago

That would be great, i'm fu..ing tired of black gangsta and italian mafia stereotypes.

MrBeatdown4538d ago

Judging by the Edit button right next to the cast list, I'm guessing any moron with some spare time can edit the list. Plus, why would Rockstar want to bring back the voice of Niko when Rockstar and Hollick had a huge disagreement over what he was paid?

Coffin874537d ago

Funny, the same is being said about Ray Liotta (Tommy Vercetti).

49erguy4537d ago

Am I the only one who didn't like Niko? Luis and the guy from Lost and Damned were much more interesting IMO. But, when it all comes down to it, all 3 of them can get shelved if Tommy or Carl could make an appearance.

beavis4play4537d ago

agreed. i'm wanting tommy vercetti.

vortis4537d ago

Luis was a boring character archetype in my opinion. His character portrayal was fun and interesting, mostly because of Tony Prince, who I thought really stole the show.

I do agree that I loved Johnny from Lost and Damned...that story arc was spot-on amazing and it seemed like the ending was a bit rushed. I definitely want to play more of their "fighting out of the hole" scenario which seemed to just keep getting worse and worse.

Acquiescence4537d ago

after complaining about the paycheck he got for his role in IV. Anyway, I hope Niko isn't in this new installment too much; dude was far too downcast and angst-ridden for the GTA universe.

Kran4537d ago

IMDB cant ever confirm stuff.

While I'd like him in GTAV, IMDB is mostly ran by users, so anybody could put that up, a staff member thinks its true, and then it gets put up.

There's been a few things that went up on IMDB and turned out to be fake.

Cost of realistic looking movement.

lucasnooker35d ago

Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…

Profchaos35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.

Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game

MetalGearsofWar35d ago

They already learned they dont have to actually make a great game

sagapo35d ago

The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.

Zhipp35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls

jznrpg35d ago

Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games

Profchaos35d ago

I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
