Troy Baker definately deserves some kind of awared, especially for his work as Joel in TLOU. The only things is, he's a bit everywhere though There should be a category for "most over used voice actors" :)

I tell you who I loved their voice work - Mirand Raison aka Cassandra from DA:I. I so romanced her, just for that voice! XD

As much as i like Troy Baker. His performance as Joel would not have been nearly as good if it wasn't for Neil Druckman's direction. Watch the Grounded documentary. He was hamming it up there for a bit.

assdan3361d ago

Troy baker and Nolan North would be tied for most overused voice actors. The reason they're used so much though is because they are without a doubt the best voice actors gaming has ever seen.

If ever a performance in a video game deserved an Oscar it's Troy Baker's Joel and Neil Druckmann should get one for directing him so well. Edit: Just noticed Kalv3 pretty much said the same thing.

DigitalRaptor3361d ago (Edited 3361d ago )

Great list.

But there's going to be the need for a couple more entries on the list if early talk about The Order: 1886's story, characterisation and performances are anything to go by.

We're talking The Last of Us levels here.

Courtnee Draper did a great job with Elizabeth from Bioshock infinite IMO.

The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.

SimpleSlave28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.

A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.

The_Hooligan28d ago

IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.

SimpleSlave28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.

But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.

But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

SimpleSlave28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos28d ago

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.

Relientk7727d ago

I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.

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."

anast86d 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.

AlterRecs83d 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"

anast83d 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.

AlterRecs82d 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

anast82d ago

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

DrDoomer86d ago

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

CrimsonWing6986d ago

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

AlterRecs83d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6983d 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.
