this forum is bleeding apologists
With all due respect... :tsktsk: Now you're just being mean. :( :nono:
No one is an "apologist" just because he/she wouldn't mind a change in the voice actor. Most would prefer Russel, but several board members have already stated in the past - in prior weeks, months and years, myself included - that they wouldn't mind if Russel wouldn't return, as disappointing as it would be.
As I've said, for now, I'm waiting for more concrete info from EM. Maybe you could do the same.
I'm not in the mood to start arguments with you or anyone else. Just calm down and be patient. Hopefully we'll learn more about the voice acting in due time...

Seriously, what's the problem !? :confused:
Probably that many people expected Russell to be voice acting Garrett - a character, that created Garrett in a way (even interviews state, that dialogues were written excellently for him)... so that can be considered as one of failed expectations already.
There really aren't many games, where a new voice actor for an old character would be that problematic... Hitman maybe and.... I can't really think of any other game.
-- EDIT --
Oh wait... Max Payne. This one as well. None of them however were THAT iconic.

They just did not care.
I disagree... but I'm not going to argue over this one; you are entitled to your opinion, of course.

@thiefessa - I'm sure you have conversations with EM people fairly often, whether it's Biskit or whomever - it it possible to get a definitive answer as to whether Russell is definitely in or out at this point? Is the trailer narrator the "new guy," or just a placeholder? I would think this would be a fairly simple answer at this stage in development. See what you can do. Even way, I think the fans just want to know and end any kind of rapid speculation.
I already asked, my friend, and gave the reasons why. Hopefully EM will provide some sort of statement soon. :)

The next person who misspells either Garrett or Russell will be hung, drawn and quartered and then barred from posting in this forum until they do learn how to spell these two names.
Edit. I am, of course, available for special coaching lessons if required.

You're obviously a special case and will therefore need special attention. Please join the queue.
There's always one, isn't there? In future, those who miss out the double 'r' or the double 's' or any other misspelling will be barred first and then hung, drawn and quartered.

I was gonna Stephen Russel is Garrett, but then I saw the "...or any other misspelling" and thought better of it. Best not to press my luck. :cheeky:
Also, damnit Bukary, it's so hard to get used to the new stuff when people keep showing us how awesome the old stuff was.

Well you know how tricky people are! I'm still waiting for the promised rampage but would remind you that obscenities were not included in the purchased package and no upgrade is possible at this time.

Yes. A truly wonderful voice.
I know it's a tiny thing in the general scheme of things but every time I see that unveiling I can't help thinking he needs a shave - possibly because he reminds me of a really dodgy geezer I once knew.
