From what I've seen of his work in BioShock Infinite and Batman (I had no idea he was Two-Face), this adds to my excitement for The Last of Us. Naughty Dog sure knows what they hell they're doing. Great pick for the lead imo.

I was completely convinced that Robin Atkin Downes was actually playing Joel due to his constant collaboration with Naughty Dog. Joel did, after all, sound very similar to Capelli in Resistance 3.

EDIT- I'd say Troy's career will sky-rocket next year judging by the fact that he is playing the leads of two of the biggest games in 2012.

Hi, I'm Troy Baker and you might know me from games such as...

I remember in the PS2 era, JRPGs especially, where we almost hear a Yuri Lowenthal, Steve Blum, and Crispin Freeman all the time, lol.

But this gen seems more of Nolan North.

I like Baker's work as Yuri (Tales of Vesperia) and Kanji (Persona 4), never thought he's spreading with Vincent (Catherine), Booker (Bioshock Infinite), even the controversial re-dubbed James Sunderland (Silent Hill 2).

And now this game.

I don't mind it though.

Make sure he's reprising his role as Kanji again in the extra / added scenes of English version of Persona 4 The Golden

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast81d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs78d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast78d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs77d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast77d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer81d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6981d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs78d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6978d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
