Cant he just make his own stupid game? Why does he have to ruin GoW? :\
Rappers...what a waste of oxygen.
And the millions of people around the world who buy the albums of such artists who perfect the cultural movement known as hip-hop agree with you, I'm sure.
And for feck's sake it's only his voice. It's hardly going to make the game drop a few points in quality is it?
Just because a lot of people like it doesnt mean its actually a good thing. And yes, it very well might make the game drop in quality. I dont know how his voice acting is, but if he's gonna be the "token black guy" or a very YO YO YO guy, it WILL drop the quality of the game. Cole Train was neato, but Ice-T might make me think "omg...justbesilentbesilentbesilent!!!!" when playing.
I'm sure Hayden Christensen was cast in SW to please the eyes of 14 year old girls, and we all know how that turned out. If Ice-T is cast on the basis of "omg lets get a rap-star to voice our token black guy because rappers are really cool nowadays" it can and most likely WILL rob the game of quality.
True it doesn't. But "good thing" and "waste of oxygen" are two different matters entirely. That's a completely different subject to get in to which isn't necessary, but what I'm trying to say is, you're wrong, otherwise it would have died out long ago with Disco and Rock and Roll. On to the topic at hand.
No one batted an eye-lid when Lester Speight voiced Cole-Train as a very YO YO YO guy (and he was pretty much), so why will Ice-T lower the quality of the game if he does it?
And if that is the case, it was never Ice-T's fault to begin with. If he says something you hate, blame the scriptwriters. If he is cast as a rapper, he is not to blame, Epic is. I very much doubt he's going to walk in there with pre-written lines and say "this is what I'll be saying, nothing else". If he does, let me know and I'll consider publicly apologising.
They stuck 50 Cent in MW2 and there was no huge buzz, and 50 Cent is much more relevant today than T is. Ice-T might think he's going to be on the cover of the game, but the chances of this happening are going to be slim.
If he lowers the quality of the game personally, that will probably be because he's a crap voice actor.
