BAFTA to Honor Nolan North with Special Award

The prominent voice actor will receive the first award for "games performance" at a ceremony in LA on June 11. The event, which takes place on the eve of the E3 games conference in Los Angeles (12-14 June), is part of BAFTA’s ever-increasing global games activity.

The award will be presented to Nolan North, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to performance in games. Previous games professionals to receive a BAFTA Special Award include Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill (on behalf of Riot Games), Brenda Romero, Amy Hennig and Markus Persson.

It's about time. How many games has this guys talent elevated. His performance as David in TLOU is by far on of his bet performances. It goes without saying that without Nolan North, it would be a very different Nathan Drake.

It's good to also see Amy Hennig being recognised as well. It's a shame that she hasn't quite landed on her feet, but hopefully this will give her some much needed recognition.

Finally. He’s been up a few times for Uncharted Best Actor at the Video Game Awards but used to always miss out...I’m sure he won one of them eventually

My favorite voice actor of all time, well deserved. His latest performance in God of War was incredible.

UCForce2201d ago

I was surprised he and Troy Baker were in God Of War.

So happy for Nolan!

Nolan, Emily, and Richard were the first actors to ever make me feel real emotions in video games, with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Him and j Nolan as David in TLoU still gives me the willies. Amazing in that game as well. Such a strong, special, well rounded actor, who’s stayed humble since his career took off with Uncharted.

Much respect & love to him!

Take-Two CEO: We're So Focused on Delivering More Value Than We Charge

Take-Two head honcho Strauss Zelnick states every time they establish a price, they want to make sure it's "good news for consumers."

It's the why we close servers after 2 years, why we re-use the same assets every year, and why we bundle our game with enjoyable microtransactions.

Running digital casinos in every game

Re-using assets is not a bad thing tbh. Development is all about re-using code, assets and components.

neutralgamer199213h ago

Can you please focus on delivering enough quality content to justify the $70 asking price? While I appreciate the idea of over-delivering, it's essential to ensure that the base content itself is worth it. I have concerns that GTA6 might have less single-player content because most of the focus seems to be shifting towards online play and microtransactions

The sleaze oozes out of these gaming CEOs faces. It's honestly disturbing how distorted people look when you've realized how money obsessed they really are. He gives off "in one ear and straight out the other" vibes.

I really don't get it

do they think anyone believes what they say?
is it that being in charge surrounds you by so many yesmen that they get deluded into thinking everyone is like that?

Well if you look at the last 10 years you will notice there wasn't as single paid dlc. Every update was free whether you want to complain about sharkcards or not.

They're going to make billions on this game especially if they keep the same formula as last in regards to updates.

Good-Smurf12h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Selling Shark cards and removing content are not exactly "good news for consumers" lol.
The last time they released any DLC worth playing was 15 years ago.
GTA V is so broken and unbalanced that people would rather do stupid cringey stunts with than do heists.

JackBNimble1h ago

I'm sure the player base would disagree, and gta5 is still being supported, much longer then most games, after all I bought gta5 day 1 on ps3....

Didn’t a leak about a max Payne remake surface a while ago?

banger881d 16h ago

I hope it's Mafia 4. And I really hope it's set during the 70s or 80s, and not a prequel of the first game as was rumoured.

TheColbertinator23h ago

Mafia 4 would be cool if set in a 70s to 80s era
