[The Flash]

Impressive. Most impressive.

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

Christ. Mark Hamill returning is nice. But wow.

 

[CalamityPixel]

Well, they've certainly got their moneys worth.

Very impressive.

 

[Prophet Steve]

What the hell, that is some cast.

 

[bearythebear]

What's the stretch goal for Daniel Day Lewis?

 

[maquiladora]

Holy shit, look at the rest of the cast. Very impressive.

 

[Amagon]

Now that is a A-List cast right there I tell you what.

 

[strafer]

Man, Hollywood is taking over gaming.

 

[Rymuth]

Holy shit~

 

[Killthee]

Wow, that sounds great.

 

[Card Boy]

No Nolan North or Troy Baker!?!?

 

[Caboose]

So that's what they spent all that Kickstarter money on eh

 

[todahawk]

Jesus that's one hell of a cast... Can't wait to see/hear some footage and story info

 

[maquiladora]

All that + "more to be announced soon".
I guess that's half the budget!

 

[SJRB]

Fuckin insane, wow.

 

[Tagyhag]

Liam Cunningham and Rhys Davies as well? Jeez. I really want to see what they do with them.

 

[Bsigg12]

Mark Hamill is getting into a few game projects lately. He's in the Halo 5 Hunt the Truth Season 2 stuff as well.

 

[Denton]

Incredible cast.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Love Mark Strong. Hope he's the main baddie.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Lara Croft in space?

 

[Mushroomer25]

That's an absolutely crazy cast, though I wonder how much material they're providing. There are multiple stars on there who could headline a studio blockbuster, this has to be a massive investment for them.

How far along is this thing? Usually VA announcements like this are one of the last things to come out of a major game.

 

[Katori]

Great cast, but not a single non-white face. What's up with that?

 

[Lowmelody]

I can scarcely look directly at the glory that is that cast.

Perhaps at some point in the game Oldman will float among a sea of stars in an epic cut scene.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

That is one impressive cast.

 

[KennyL]

Where is Idris Elba?

 

[The Silver]

 

[Nokterian]

Oh man what a cast!

 

[Jb]

Mark Strong is doing game stuff now? Dude's awesome.

 

[Aselith]

Mark Strong should be in the title. I'm offended!

lol at well known horrible racist and pube hater Sandi Gardiner being in the cast though

 

[SJRB]

Mark Strong is doing game stuff now? Dude's awesome.

Never understood why he was never in games before, the guy is excellent in literally every movie I've seen him in.

 

[Nokterian]

Never understood why he was never in games before, the guy is excellent in literally every movie I've seen him in.

He has a great voice for it but also i like his presence on screen.

Also Gollum and Gimly are on board..lewd what a cast goddamn.

 

[Joeku]

Mark Strong is doing game stuff now? Dude's awesome.

He was in WH40K Space Marine a few years back. Was good in it, too. That whole game was great.

 

[Messofanego]

Mark Strong?! Please let this not be a waste.

 

[Nokterian]

He was in WH40K Space Marine a few years back. Was good in it, too. That whole game was great.

Oh yeah forgot about that you played him as the space marine he did a excellent job on that.

 

[RAIDEN1]

Wowzer....

[wanderingprostheyltite]

lol. So how much dialogue/lines are supposed to be in this exactly? Curious the extent of everybody's roles.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Holy hell, they had some money, huh

 

[paulorsjr]

My humble 25$ pledge is pleased... Quite.

 

[DieH@rd]

AMAZING!

 

[Femmeworth]

Crazy. Is Bethesda secretly backing this?

 

[tuxfool]

lol. So how much dialogue/lines are supposed to be in this exactly? Curious the extent of everybody's roles.

IIRC they said spoken dialogue in the game is 4 times the size of a typical movie script.

 

[Black-Box]

I hope that money doesn't go to waste.

 

[ashecitism]

They just showed the trailer with Oldman giving a speech.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

They just showed the trailer with Oldman giving a speech.

Was he selling the ZF-1?

 

[Mushroomer25]

IIRC they said spoken dialogue in the game is 4 times the size of a typical movie script.

But how much of that is being read by Oldman/Strong/Anderson/etc? MGS V's script is massive, yet Sutherland's lines probably only make up a small percentage of it.

 

[low-G]

Cast is big, the animation seems subpar (in the video above).

 

[Dawg]

I mean, most of those people are talented actors but I'll never understand this trend of hiring hollywood actors when there's probably a bunch of talented VAs out there waiting to get roles.

Especially for a crowd funded game, I think it's weird.

 

[Jb]

Never understood why he was never in games before, the guy is excellent in literally every movie I've seen him in.

With a voice like his he could even make the shittiest lines have gravitas.

I hope Oldman's got a big role in this too, when he's hamming it up in genre pictures he's really fun to watch.
