*pictures Ghost talking like the Space Sphere*

...or better yet Richtofen!

The curiosity is killing me. What voice will he create for a Ghost?

I... I don't get it (reply)

On XBL, you need to make a new XBL account. (reply)

Which they give you for free, but I need to repopulate my friends listand crap. Also, I was mostly joking.

Really? Takes 30 seconds. (reply)

On PS4 at least. And you can piggyback off your main accounts PSN, too, so you literally just need to select "New Profile" and pick a name. Job done.

Too much work. (reply)

Just making a joke.

It's funny you say that. (reply)

Dinklage is a great example of casting a name, not a performance, IMO. He's pretty Cousin Oliver to me. He didn't do much VO work, but is a hot commodity right now, so they got him. Nolan North is known to basically nobody except us self aware video game nerds. My friend plays games every day but doesn't visit forums much or follow news. I explained to him the Keith David joke from Saint's Row, then told him about Baker and North. These guys are hired because they have voiceover talent. They are purely hired for skill and familiarity with the process, definitely not for publicity, which is what the jumping the shark thing is about. I don't think I could say the same about Peter Dinklage.

I mean, it doesn't matter who finishes a contacting job on my house as long as it's finished and done with some modicum of skill and sensibility. But if my contractor decided to not finish the job, or demanded way too much pay, or a bunch of other crap, I gotta switch dudes. There might be a bunch of stuff going wrong with Dinklage we don't know about.

Bungle could have killed Ghost off and given us a new one. We don't know for sure how they work yet. They didn't, though. They may be stuck with the universe not allowing new ghosts, meaning they have only one option: re do the choice.

Who plays Ghost doesn't matter. He's still Ghost. Going through and redoing the voices just eliminates the confusion for new players who might be a little surprised by the switch to Dick Sargent from Dick York halfway through.

If it actually didn't matter, they wouldn't have changed it. (reply)

Disagree. That will be when they get Whoopi Goldberg to be the voice of the Traveler in year 9.

Just make a new profile (reply)

If you don't want to delete a character, at least.

So true. I kind of want to re-roll a character now. (reply)

Nolan North is in everything for a good reason: he is a damn fine voice actor. I'm excited to see what he brings to the table. Nothing against Dinklage but it was clear it just wasn't a good fit and with a VO veteran like North as Ghost, things will only go up in the future.

But how will we know about the CELL FROM THE PRISON OF ELDER (reply)

Thank you for making my day.
