Nolan North on PS4: “I’ve Seen Some Stuff… I Couldn’t Believe it was Gameplay”

Fresh off (well, not too fresh) his starring role as Deadpool in Deadpool, and that other game, Nolan North was present at the recent GameStop Expo in Las Vegas. There, he spoke to GamerHub about how Nathan Drake is the most commonly requested voice from fans, while also answering what he thinks the PS4 would add to a possible future Uncharted game.

Nolan North is the voice of Troy Baker

xHeavYx3868d ago

Lol, but I think they are both great. I wonder what he has seen though. He is kind of confirming that he is working in something. Damn you Nolan North! Tell more!

MWong3868d ago

Hopes it's a new Uncharted or a new IP.

ABizzel13868d ago

"I’ve seen some stuff… gameplay… that they’re testing for… I don’t remember what game it was but they were doing some testing on the PS4 and I couldn’t believe it was gameplay. I mean, it’s extraordinary technology."

Oh Noland you know what game it was. You've worked on so many games, but if you've seen demos up and running more than likely it was a PlayStation game and more than likely it's either The Last of Us or Uncharted, and seeing how your character met a satisfying end in TLoU, you've seen Uncharted 4 :D

FamilyGuy3868d ago

@_@ Tell.. Us.. MORE!!!

crxss3867d ago

@doctorstrange LMAO that was probably the funniest comment i've read on N4G

ChrisW3867d ago

I swear someone has said something similar to this since the PS1.

Yikes, next generation is going to be a killer. I bet it was from in house studios. Their talent is mind blowing

Ps4Console3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

Not in graphics terms more pixels on screen of course but not a huge leap in graphics no ., not like the huge leap we saw with the Ps2 to Ps3 no way but a lot better .

President3867d ago

@leef: this is the biggest leap since games went 3D

-Foxtrot3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

So Troy Baker is just another voice from Nolan North.... after Dead Pool, Nathan Drake, the Adventure Sphere, the Space Sphere, David in the last of us and the Penguin...makes sense :)

Silly Mammo3868d ago

I didn't know he voiced David in The Last of Us. Creepy...

-Foxtrot3868d ago

@Silly Mammo

Me neither when I played it, was a while untill I found out it was him

Thats how good he is if the studios wants him to be...not counting Prince of Persia because Ubisoft actually asked him to do his normal speaking Nathan Drake voice. The guy even said "Do you want me to do an accent or something" and they were apparently like "No...no were good"

allformats3868d ago

My body, my eyes, my palms, my fingers -- they all are ready.

Greatness awaits!!!

3-4-53868d ago

Nolan North is the voice of a lot of people.

Is that just an acting name too, or is it his real name ?

It sounds like a Porn star name.

1nsomniac3868d ago

I'm so confused, I just about know who Nolan North is...

beebap3868d ago

Joel from last of us. Main saints guy. Loads more people almost as many as Nolan

NarooN3868d ago

Troy Baker is Troy Baker, lol. He's a musician, does a LOT of voice acting jobs for video games and anime.

Basically the joke here is that since Nolan North has voiced at least one character in virtually every game released this generation, that "Troy Baker" is another one of his aliases or Troy is a clone, etc. because Troy also does a megaton of voice-overs for games and anime.

Basically they have both done a crapload of work in the industry, lol.

TrendyGamers3868d ago

Or Troy Baker is a clone of Nolan North to ensure Nolan North gets all the voice acting jobs.

PHOSADRA3868d ago

^ I think you're on to something...
:)

JoGam3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

Fun Fact.....Nolan North is the voice of Sackboy. He's everywhere.................... .LOL JK

showtimefolks3868d ago

Uncharted 4 confirmed lol

but on a serious note, can't wait to see what ND,SSM and MM along with many others are working on

kamisama3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

I hate u abbizel I haven't gotten to finish tlou yet because my launch 60gig crapped out Damn u and spoilers

Conzul3867d ago

If you must still frequent gaming circles, then ProTIP: CTRL + F "tlou"
That way you'll know if TLoU is talked about and you can avoid it.

CaptainYesterday3868d ago

No no no no you got it all wrong! They were trying to clone Nolan North something happened and Troy Baker was born.

nosferatuzodd3868d ago

Just hearing about what he saw makes me feel like o yah ... the hype level is is over 500,000

MRMagoo1233868d ago

PS4 is going to be blowing ppls minds.

AceBlazer133868d ago

Ps4 can't come soon enough.I'm really interested in what he saw,uncharted 4 maybe?

Summons753868d ago

Maybe Naughty Dog's new generation IP. Love uncharted but I kinda want them to stick to the tradition they have. One new big franchise than maybe a spinoff or new creative IP.

-Foxtrot3868d ago

They don't really have a tradition anymore now that Sony expanded them and spilt them into two teams.

One can work on Uncharted (or another old IP) and the other team can work on a new IP for next gen

Summons753868d ago

Well they still kept it (somewhat) 3 uncharted's but instead of a kart racer they had a second team to make a new IP while they were still hot off Uncharted 2. So still the same just a tiny bit different. I'd rather the Uncharted 2 team (Last of Us team) work on all the main titles and the second team (the ones that kind fumbled uncharted 3) work on the spin off/ new titles.

stuna13868d ago

I still think Naughty Dog should be given the Heavenly Sword IP to work on! Or Sony Santa Monica!

What ever Nolan North has seen, I'm sure it's enough to get the juices flowing, lol.

PS4; It only does multiple orgasms!!!

NateCole3868d ago

There are many possibilities that could happen.

1. Uncharted is now one of Sony's system seller so Sony might want it out by Holiday 2014 to help combat Halo.

2. ND reportedly wanted a break from Uncharted after Uncharted 3 hence they came out with TLOU. As such they might be or might not be refreshed enough to do another Uncharted.

3.ND might sense that a fair amount of their fans want a new or don't mind a new ip and will then infact produce another ip say Savage Starlight.

We shall see.

-Foxtrot3868d ago (Edited 3868d ago )

@Summons75

Actually the new team worked on the Last of Us, they were working on it just after Uncharted 3 released or a little while before hand. While the Uncharted team have been left since Uncharted 3.

Best way to know what team is doing what is by Amy Henning, she's the creative director of the Uncharted team and since she wasn't part of the Last of Us team shows you that her team is probably working on Uncharted 4...or maybe even Jak 4 who knows.

I don't really play racing games, but do people really cary about story modes in racing games? I thought need for speed in the past did a good job of it, somewhat cheesy, minimalistic story but it did the job imo. Just so there was some context in the game.

CrimsonWing691262d ago

like you said, the cheesy Need for Speed stuff kind of made racing a bit more worth doing over and over again because of the story, but I don't think anyone actively goes out of their way to buy a racing game for the story.

Nolan's going to voice the engine and Troy will voice the tranny. 😏

jgilbert111442d ago

It would be pretty cool if Nolan voiced the navigation system

MadLad1442d ago

Okay. Okay. That was good.

caddytrek1442d ago

I hope they do the engine noises haha Vroom!!!

rdgneoz31442d ago

Similar to his work in Portal 2 as Space Cube...

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

ifinitygamer1442d ago

These guys are in everything, and their voices are so damn soothing.

rdgneoz31442d ago

Got to seem them a couple years ago when they were part of a live reading of Princess Bride in various voices.

https://youtu.be/iSS0yOoiCH... - Joker from Troy and Nolan as Mickey Mouse shortly after.

timotim1442d ago

Not going to lie...looked like a poor man's Forza Horizon. I hope it turns out good though. The dev speaking on the game talked about no loading times...sounds great.

SyntheticForm1441d ago

I think it looks as good as any other modern racer, and it's quite detailed.

Why the "poor man's Forza" dig? Surely that wasn't necessary, even if the games look similar in some respects.

timotim1441d ago (Edited 1441d ago )

The festival aspect instantly reminded me of Forza Horizon...but the environments wasn't quite up to par to me. If you look at that NY track on the river...the buildings in the background looked very current gen. But like I said, I hope it turns out good. Will be interesting to see where the voice acting stuff goes...could be pretty cool.

I should say I love racers and play just about all of them.

AK911442d ago

I mean that's cool and all but the Dirt series isn't really known for its voice acting and dialogue.

RamRod881442d ago

They could be announcers like in Forza horizon
