Hype rising!

Steve, the dog with no powers that we let hang out with us all for some reason
Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley strike once again.
Surely this is confirmation that he's not?
Well one is a writing role and (to my understanding anyway) the other is a VA role.
He's done with uncharted 4. He said he shot 6 months worth of stuff. Either his contributions are done, or ND is completely scratching everything Hennig did.

This Star Wars game may be something to keep a eye on in 2 years
So chances are the 2nd I'm guessing.

Any good writing credits to his name?
Voice over.

Just because he's co-writing a video game, doesn't mean he can't (or hasn't) do voiceover work.
David Lynch did voiceover work for The Cleveland Show but that didn't stop him from writing and directing two short films, directing a music video and acting in a tv show
It's great that Amy Hennig thinks of him highly enough to have him co-write a game with her. They must have had great chemistry with UC4

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! Naughty Dog buys new Stars Wars game, fires most of the staff working on it.

This just made me imagine a redesigned Kyle Katarn who's more like Nathan Drake.
Must scrub that image out of my head.
He said he was done with his Uncharted work months ago. Even if he still had more to do, writing can generally be done side by side with other projects moreso since he's co-writing while Amy leads.

curious as to why GAF is appalled by this news
People don't understand at what point voice work is done in game development and are thinking that this guy left ND for this job when he was just contracted for a job he's already completed.

You just described Star Wars.
Oh dude this is nothing, you should check out movie discussion over in the OT where people are worried about shit without knowing a damn thing.

Jumping to conclusions as to this being bad for Naughty Dog and not boding well for UC 4?
I didn't know Todd Stashwick was a writer though.
Par for course. Start with a negative conclusion and work our way backwards to the logical one. Even if Stashwick hadn't finished his VO work for UC4, co-writing another game would have no bearing on it.
This. It's always nice to hear of a "celebrity" involved in video games but has he actually ever written anything? Plus, video game writing is totally different than screenplay writing, hopefully Henning will be there to guide him through the process.

But's he's had a hex placed on him by the witches. How can he possibly focus on this?

Jesus, North, leave at least some roles for others.
Conspiracy!

Hell even if it's Uncharted with Lightsabers, it'll be a lot better than most Star Wars games.
Hah, Nolan North's not going to get the role.
Jesus, North, leave at least some roles for others.
They'll give it to his protege, Troy Baker. Troy Baker replacing Nolan North as the King of "I'm in every game ever" confirmed.

I dont see what good writers can do with Star Wars, seems like a total waste of talent.
Star Wars is the most basic of stories, Lucas copied the themes straight out of text books.
Just seems like they're not focusing on the draws of the franchise, unlike something like Battlefront.
The flaw in that succession, is that North tends to turn up in Baker games somewhere.

Always as side characters though, never as a main one.
David in TLoU still counts as a side character.
But then if you're trying to read between the lines you might extrapolate that Stashwick is joining Amy because he was closer to her vision of UC4 than whatever other direction the studio chose to take, which at this point isn't especially reassuring.

A voice over actor does more then 1 job at a time? And works with people he has worked with before?

I don't know why but for some reason I'm reminded of this image:
*Nitpick mode on*
But Naughty Dog don't do voice over, their actors perform full motion capture and voice at the same time.

That would be very cool.
