GamesRadar - The most iconic characters in gaming often have just as iconic voices. Much like Mel Blanc's legendary voice will always be associated with Looney Tunes, names like Charles Martinet (Mario) and Nolan North (Nathan Drake, among others) will always be linked to their characters.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.

What they've replaced Jaks voice actor completely now...Josh Keaton sucks as Jak. He sounded terrible in All Stars, I hope they don't use him for Jak 4
I didnt mind the Infamous voice change.
Its gonna be so bizarre for Snake though, after so many years that voice has become part of my childhood.
No Michael Ironside? Fail. Man has got one of the most iconic voices in gaming.
Not happy about his omission from Blacklist but Immo play the heck out of that game regardless!
David Hayter is only good at voicing young Solid Snake and Naked Snake. He totally blows at playing the older Snake's like Big Boss.
I hated his voice in Peace Walker, it sounded too much like Old Snake and it sounded fake. You need someone more natural and the right age to play Big Boss, not a young guy trying to sound old.
It was the right decision to hire another voice actor to play Big Boss. I just wish it was John Cygan, the guy who voiced Solidus Snake.
No hate on David Hayter though, i'm a big fan of his and grew up playing MGS since 98. MGS1, MGS2 and MGS3 were solid performances by David. It's a shame about PW though.
