The SWANTONMASTER Team goes over The Top 5 voices in gaming
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the most interesting facts about the PS3."
I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.
you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.
I never even thought of that. If I can ever track down a reasonable true backward compatibility one the first thing I'll do is ssd it up.
Still one of my favorite Playstations next to the Playstations that came before it and after it.
You missed some great games then. Especially the variety. Ps3 lacked compared to before and after.
It had great games but it lacked compared to every other ps system. The variety went out the window. Game budgets got higher that's when developers stopped taking chances. Indies weren't quite going full speed like the ps4 generation. It's my least favorite of all the Playstation. Also jrpgs disappeared like a mf, there were some but sht compared to previous gens.
My favorite voice actor is Steven Blum. He's been in over 200 anime/games etc. I really dont think the guy gets enough recognition. Sure he does a lotta small roles but he does some pretty good ones too.

I'd love Samuel L Jackson to take more of a plunge into voice acting in games, he's got such a cool voice, he was great in San Andreas.
I'll second Steven Blum (he's the lead in Epic's new game, Bulletstorm!) but I have to ask, where's Mark Hamill? Is there a more respected voice in gaming (other than perhaps Nolan). I mean, everyone knows his incredible work as the joker, but he's been in like 30 videogames as huge roles (not minor ones), changing his voice and just doing an all around incredible job, literally making his roles memorable just from the quality of his voice work!

Fun fact: the actor who voices Mr. Krabs also voices Hades from God of War 3 lol.
Mr. Krabs to spongebob: "Your soul is mine!"
