Snake, Drake, and Cole confirmed to be lending voices to Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale

tl;dr

Eric Ladin, voice of Cole Mcgrath, has confirmed in a Tweet the project he is working on is indeed Playstation All Stars Battle Royale, and that he in fact is working alongside David Hayter and Nolan North, the voices of Solid Snake and Nathan Drake, respectively.

Ah, Twitter. How many secrets game studios and publishers wanted to keep hidden away have you thrust into the internet’s cold, judgmental view? A recent (well, it would have been recent if the site was up) tweet from Eric Ladin, voice actor for Cole McGrath, the hero of inFAMOUS, has confirmed that he is in fact working on PSASBR. The Tweet has since been taken down, but luckily, IGN has a screengrab.

In addition, he has said that he is working alongside Nolan North; voice of Deadpool, The Penguin, the Space Core and Nathan Drake, and David Hayter; voice of Solid Snake, Old Snake, Big Boss, and little else. Of course, these characters were already known to be inevitable – you couldn’t exactly have a celebration of the Playstation without Drake and Snake – but still, it’s nice to see a confirmation.

However, what’s more interesting is the fact that Ladin himself knew about the other two. Traditionally, videogame voice acting is done in a solo affair, with recordings done around scheduling conflicts, meaning parts can be recorded days apart. For a fighting game, doubly so – generally speaking, a voice actor would only need to say their characters dozen or so lines, their 30 or so variations on a grunt, and then be out of there.

Voice actors would generally only interact if their characters would interact in a unique and meaningful way – does this indicate actual unique interactions between these characters? Possibly in say, a storyline where they encounter each other and use it as a means of self analysis and deconstruction? Hey man, I live in hope.

kevin butler was also confirmed on the imdb page, but there is a chance he's just a narrator.

Like I saidm, since anyone can edit IMDB, thats not a reliable source.

Maybe they are planning special pre-battle quotes and conversations between some characters in a way that is similar to the ones in MVC3?

Even then, they could have the lines be done on seperate days. I'm seriously doubting the MvsC. 3 pre-battle quotes were recorded in the same room.

You do bring up a good point.

Let's just hope what comes out of this is good.

Unrelated but still curious... I read somewhere that the KO mechanic of this game if getting your super off and finishing opponents that way. Is there any confirmation of that? Kinda reminds me of Azura's Wrath and getting that gauge up.

Yeah, its been confirmed

Can't say I've heard that to be confirmed, but then again I haven't heard anything on how KO will work so that's the most reliable info at the moment.

OT: I'm curious if there will be a story mode of sorts. Like Subspace Emissary but with dialogue.

You know what would be funny? Is if David Hayter is playing the voice for a completely different character for the story mode. This is a wait and see for me.
