Makes sense. Assassins creed would likely offer more work than Uncharted courtesy of its yearly schedule.

you didnt read the article did you -_-

What's even funnier is that you don't even need to read the whole article. It's written right there below the headline. LOL

Zefros3761d ago

Nolan and troy, the best voice actors there is in gaming! They really are in almost every game!

Rimeskeem3761d ago

The best voice actors with arguably the best devs. Amazeballs awaits

GameDev13761d ago

Maybe thats because he knew nothing about Uncharted compared to Assassin's Creed that was popular and got a yearly release

And he didnt shun it, he chose to buy a game he was more familiar with before playing a new IP

what a clickbait headline

Assassins Creed was like a week old when Drakes Fortune released. I guess he was just more hyped for Assassins Creed than Uncharted at the time.

Dunno when he was borrowed the PS3 though so he might have gotten it a year or so later.

LOL man, these sites will make an article out of anything. Out of everything in the interview that could have been talked about, this was the most important to this site. smh.

Troy Baker does "voices". Nolan North while not bad does pretty much his own voice.

BiggerBoss3761d ago

Have you played TLOU? David sounds NOTHING like Nathan Drake.

But I do agree that Baker is a more versatile VA than North

BC_Master_Haze3761d ago

I was really shocked to find that out, he did a great job.

rocky0475863760d ago

Nolan North also does Penguin, which sounds NOTHING like either of those two. But I do think that David from The Last Of Us does sound a bit like Nathan Drake once you do realize it's him.

Best Lead Performance of 2024

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "As game scripts expand in size and the technology to capture performances improves, blockbuster game companies are under tremendous pressure to get the right fit for a leading role. In some cases, said actor essentially becomes the face of that franchise; their mug may be digitally altered or cropped in select ways, but they're – more or less – in the same spot as a film actor at this point. As a result, there's also a keener interest in how those performers sound if they're replacing somebody else.

Perhaps the most glaring example of that was Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake. Alongside a bevy of other gameplay & story alterations, Luke Roberts replacing Guy Cihi's original James Sunderland was a major point of distress for long-time fans before release. Sure, Cihi wasn't a trained actor at the time (and it shows), but he carried a type of unique charm that meshed perfectly with the game's strange world. A similar situation was Troy Baker assuming the mantle of Indiana Jones. How similar could he actually sound to a younger Harrison Ford? Judging by the collective staff & community acclaim, both of them fared quite well, and so too did the others who made up our final five."
