One of the biggest announcements at Sony’s E3 conference was the return of Sly Cooper in Sly Thieves in Time. While it’s unlikely that the game will be developed by Sucker Punch, it’s still sure to a terrific title whenever it releases. Little is known about the game, but now news has been revealed that one of the game industry’s most prolific voice actors will be lending his talent to the title.
Andrew Duncan of GameGrin chats with Nolan North about DIRT 5, Deadpool and more.
Nolan North and Troy Baker share their experiences working with Codemasters on Dirt 5 and its story-based career mode.
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.
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.
Voice Over juggernauts Troy Baker and Nolan North are lending their talents to the latest installment in the Dirt franchise, as Dirt 5 was revealed during Microsoft’s First Look Xbox Series X Gameplay presentation earlier today.
Nolan's going to voice the engine and Troy will voice the tranny. 😏
Got to seem them a couple years ago when they were part of a live reading of Princess Bride in various voices.

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.
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.
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.
I mean that's cool and all but the Dirt series isn't really known for its voice acting and dialogue.
Well he has been in just about every game imaginable so this isn't surprising
He seems to be making damn good money just in the gaming world.
WOW! Did not see that coming. Can't wait for a proper reveal. Besides StarHawk next year, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is my most anticipated PS3 exclusive!
He is in almost everything.
I don't see why, he's good at what he does and what he does is pretty nice.
