    From the IGN preview:

    "...and with Nolan North (Nathan Drake in Uncharted) lending his voice to the main character..."

    I think the Nolan North magic is starting to wear itself a lil bit thin.

    Well, doesn't entirely assure a quality product, but at least the voicework can't be atrocious.

    I hate hearing his voice as a main character in other games. It esp. annoyed me in halo wars, i always kept thinking of Forge as just the bald, less awesome Nathan Drake.

    But he's still no Jennifer Hale. That lady is in pretty much everything, without much exaggeration.

    Isn't there some other Mr. or Mrs. North voice actor that could at least give him a run for his money?

    ummm Isn't this a serious game? It's not like your gonna get a Nathan Drake character in this, it's gonna be a serious military character, and just cause he's in it doesn't mean he has that large of a part too. ugh.... I miss the days of when Naughty Dog did the Jak games..... don't get me wrong I love Uncharted but.... meh.

    I always mix up Jen Hale with Jen Taylor (Zoey in Left 4 Dead, the 1 vs 100 host that isn't Chris Cashman, Princess Peach in everything), but yeah she's another one who's in a bunch of stuff.

    Nolan North is already annoying me and it's the beginning of the year.  Imagine how many games he might be in?  It's not his fault but god damn find someone else to do your characters game developers.

    At what point are devs going to say "Hey, maybe we should get someone to voice our lead who isn't immediatetly associated with other games and characters, and thus won't completely destroy the possibility of immersion"? I look forward to that day

    Nolan North is becoming the Nicholas Cage of video games; he's in everything and pretty much plays the same guy every time, but it's always great.

    Everyone always assumes Nolan North will be playing Nathan Drake in any game he's in. Sure he plays the same guy in Shadow Complex and Dark Void but he's capable of new stuff too. He's actually really good at doing different voices. For example he plays Sigmund in Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time. I hope he doesn't play another Nathan Drake wannabe.
