Will Uncharted's Drake Voice Snake in MGSV?

IGN: '' Voice actor Nolan North talks about his career, Marvel Heroes, and new rumors on Up at Noon. Plus, we pit Walking Dead against Game of Thrones.''

Snookies124028d ago

That would be.... Too weird... As much as I love Nolan for his performances, I just can't see it. (or rather, hear it.)

Agent Smith4028d ago

We're gonna have to call him Solid Drake or Nathan Snake.

CraigUK4028d ago

Well, it would be Naked Drake or Nathan Snake, maybe even Big Drake or Nathan Boss.

CaptainSheep4028d ago

^Naked Drake...? Yeah, I love Drake but I would rather not imagine that. XD

NewMonday4028d ago (Edited 4028d ago )

Nolan North is verstile, also did Captain Martin Walker in Spec Ops: The Line and was great. but Snake still needs a sharp voice, something like Clint Eastwood

OcelotRigz4028d ago (Edited 4028d ago )

Or we could call him Papa Bouba Diop.

I like North, but for me Hayters rusty, gravel voice IS snakes voice for me, its just a part of the series as anything else. Like, most gaming protagonist have regular generic voices but the minute you hear snakes voice you know exactly who it is straight away.
It is going to be very weird hearing snake as another generic voice, it wont feel right at all.

Big boss:Kitty got wet.

BOO! Young Justice cancelation!

Hope they get Nolan North as a cameo in The Last of Us, that would be awesome.

Muffins12234028d ago

I could see it happening if he made his voice more gritty for the role.

Mounce4028d ago

And as much as I love his voice acting.....I don't want his bloody voice slapped on Snakes' image.

Nolan North is one of my favorite voice actors... but to have him be Snake would be rather off-putting for me. Couldn't they just get Doyle who voiced Big Boss in MGS4?

Kanzes4028d ago

I agree, Doyle is a better choice than the current va (David H still the best though).

PopRocks3594027d ago

Agreed wholeheartedly. David Hayter will always be my first choice for Snake in a Metal Gear game with voice acting.

wishingW3L4028d ago

oh god no, Nolan is overused.

BanBrother4028d ago

Am I in the minority that actually loves him? All his characters I remember so fondly. Funny thing is, I didn't like some of his characters at first, but then I loved them. He brings such personality to'his roles, and they are not all the same, though his voice is distinct.

Desmond from'Assassin's Creed.
Nathan Drake from'Uncharted.
Sergeant Forge from Halo Wars.

Those characters funnily enough I didn't like when I first played them, but after I absolutley loved them. He brings such charm and charisma to his characters. Spec Ops was great for him also, it really showed what he can do as a voice actor. He has a great humour to'him also.

Deadpool6164027d ago (Edited 4027d ago )

He's not over used, it's how they use him.

When it comes to acting it's about giving whatever the director wants. If they want his natural voice, he'll give it to them. If they want something different, he'll give it to them. Listen to Nolan North's voice as The Penguin in Batman Arkham City. I could normally pick up certain actors by listening to the voice, but I had no idea he played The Penguin. Brilliant voice acting.

InTheLab4027d ago (Edited 4027d ago )

He's way overused. He's Drake, Desmond Miles, Deadpool, Superman, Superboy...random thug in Batman, dude from Spec Ops,etc.

I say we need more Troy Baker...

KwietStorm_BLM4028d ago

Man this whole thing has just gotten weird. I'm a huge Metal Gear fan. Nolan North is that dude. But I still feel trapped in limbo over David Hayter not being involved. If Snake ends up sounding soft, its really gonna hurt the big picture, because sadly, too much focus will be on the voice.

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan168d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara168d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus168d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow168d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Yea I don’t get why they’re allowing old reviews to be posted here. Someone did one on Soul Reaver and I got so excited thinking there was some stealth release of an HD Remaster, but no… it’s just someone who had a slow day posted an old review…

Cacabunga184d ago

I liked the game but for me it felt somehow like a military simulator rather than a proper MGS.. i got bored of that

micdagoat19184d ago

I do wish they would remaster all the soul reavers

micdagoat19184d ago

it was done this morning though

goldwyncq184d ago

The author was in a coma for 9 years and didn't get to play the game when it released.

Chocoburger184d ago

This review arrived just in time for launch. Perfect timing!

RupeeHoarder184d ago

Amazing how bad this game looks already. We keep acting like this gen doesn't feel like an update but I think we're starting to see it.

YourMommySpoils184d ago

Looks better than Starfield, Cyberpunk and most recent games out. Still fine.

RupeeHoarder184d ago

It most certainly does not lol.

andy85184d ago

Have you player Cyberpunk since the first day? It's absolutely stunning now

1nsomniac184d ago

One of the worst games ever made. Absolute overhyped trash!

Snowb420184d ago

The gameplay was great. It was the tacked on open world and repetitive missions that messed the game up.

Shane Kim184d ago

The game started really strong in that hospital, but after a couple of hours I wondered if it was even an mgs game I was playing.

KyRo183d ago

The hospital section was the only bit that felt like a MGS game.

MGS4 was the ending for me. I totally ignore the fact 5 exists. It didn't need to exist tbh
