Seems like the new OPM reveales this info on the new issue. Carl Johnson, the main character will be voiced by Young Maylay, a musician.

uh oh the main character is voiced again. Actually i think i could have figured that out from the trailer.


I actually prefered that about GTA:VC, but i know there were quite a few that didnt.

The voice actor is black?!?!

 

[Asskicker064]

There are black people?!?

 

[calder]

ORIN IS VOICED BLACK?!

 

[AeroGod]

NO CHARLIE MURPHY!!! I HATE THEEE!!!

 

[speedpop]

I've always considered it a lot more easier to hire voice actors without much experience. That way you can whip and kick them into doing what line you exactly want to hear without ego's flying off the room - plus it's cheaper.

People care who do vo's in games now?

Charlie Murphy could've been hilarious as CJ... IF he had the lines(script) which would allow him to be so. If not, then it wouldn't be any different than hiring some random va. On that note, who the hell is Young Maylay?

As a matter a fact, would people even be the least bit more interested in the game simply because the va's are "famous"? Then again..... *looks at "Shark Tale" voice credits...

I preferred the voiceless main character in 3. It was just much more immersive.

 

[raYne]

I definitely see your point about it being more immersive.

Having a voiceless main character simply enables the player to imagine how or what his/her character would actually sound or say in the various presented situations. So you don't have to worry about "you" sounding like an idiot (ie Fable, Zelda, GTA3 blah blah).

That said, if the vo's are done well then that problem shouldn't even arise.

I was hoping for Larenz Tate or Don Cheadle.

I hope this new guy really turns out good.
