The President:
Nolan North as The Player
Troy Baker as The Player

Who didn't see that one coming? bet they sound the same too.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

i'm convinced North/Baker/Bailey is a video game voice acting joke on Volition's part.

 

[Vexxan]

Cool to see NPH on the list, this game can't come soon enough.

 

[Casimir]

Daniel Dae Kim

Well it wouldn't be a surprise if they listed his involvement publicly before the game debuted. Similar to how Kevin Spacey was omitted from the Se7en pre-release advertisement to keep his reveal a surprise.

Spoiler

We can only hope

 

[Dave1988]

i'm convinced North/Baker/Bailey is a video game voice acting joke on Volition's part.

They're missing Jennifer Hale and JYB in there, though.

 

[T3CHN01R]

I bet Troy Baker does a Nolan North impression and Nolan North does a Troy Baker impression.

 

[Jabba]

Can you create your own toon like 3?

Nvm, bleh.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Who didn't see that one coming? bet they sound the same too.

Why would they sound the same? They have pretty distinct voices.

 

[Rodney McKay]

I wish he was a player voice.

ARES!

That would be amazing. If he just delivered all of his lines in his Kratos/Ancient Greece voice I would LOVE IT.

DAMMIT PIERCE!
GO TO HADES!

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Laura Bailey is my fav va to choose, happy she's in again

 

[BobTheFork]

WTF no OLEG?!

 

[FantasyFreak07]

The cast is great. I'll probably go through the game three times in order to hear all of North's, Baker's, and Bailey's lines.

 

[Lovegooder]

Kinzie is back? All righty then.

 

[Adnor]

Maero? I will be able to kill that asshole again??
YESSSS.

 

[FaustsBoon]

There are some neat surprises too, with some performances... not quite being what you would expect at a glance. ;-)

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Im not convinced Robin Atkin Downes can do a good cockney accent.

Hype deflated.

#Kyle #Kratos

I'm playing Saints Row 2 as Robin Atkin Downes right now.

Edit 1 : wait what? shit, had no idea that was him. Hype reinflated and rising!

Edit2: Oh, he is the voice from 3. meh.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

No Eliza Dushku for Shaundi

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

So quick googling leads me to Tara Platt did russian voice in SR3 and she's not in this. No sale. Eat a bag of dicks Volition.

I too was disappointed upon hearing this news until I heard that one of the new female options is a French voice.

 

[The Faceless Master]

no bold for Michael Dorn?!?!?

 

[RdN]

Some great talent there.

 

[Amir0x]

Haha, fun cast. This game is going to be fun

 

[Big_Al]

Is there the Cockney voice, still? That's always been my choice, since SR2.

Yeah it is, I believe that's the voice Robin Atkin Downes does. Unfortunately that means it's the same cockney voice from SR3 which I didn't like that much. Bring back Charles Shaughnessy Volition you bastards.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Nolan North was revealed a while back, people.

His voice option isn't "Male 1" or anything; it's literally labeled "Nolan North."

 

[Kadayi]

Is russian female voice back? Literally all I care about.

Sadly not...my preferred choice as well in truth. We're getting a french voice and a southern voice now.... (why the change Volition?)

Also lack of Zimos. Though I envisage there won't be much ho action in SR4 so that might explain his and Violas absence.

 

[Jintor]

Huh... Tara Platt and Rebecca Sanabria got shafted for the female boss? I hope the Latina voice set is still in :<

 

[Squire]

You... You don't play as Laura Bailey?

Bro.

BRO.

 

[Lunzio]

Immediate pre-order.



Yes, I'm that excited.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

You... You don't play as Laura Bailey?

Bro.

BRO.

Laura Bailey's the best but I used the Russian voice in the second playthough and it was great. Hopefully the new ones are just as good.

 

[Jintor]

You... You don't play as Laura Bailey?

Bro.

BRO.

Latina voice set is my boss. Played her in SR2, played her in SR3.

Don't get me wrong, I love Bailey, but she's not the Boss to me

 

[omg_mjd]

Laura Bailey <3

Hope there's another scene where she gets to sing. That was a nice surprise in SR3.

 

[Metroidvania]

Will always be sad about Katie Semine leaving VA work, but Laura Bailey did fine in SR3, so I'm looking forward to more shenanigans.

Going to be a toss up between Troy Baker and Nolan North for the male boss, though. Wonder how 4th wall-breaking Nolan as 'himself' will be.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

W-where's Johnny Yong Bosch?

 

[Eusis]

They're missing Jennifer Hale and JYB in there, though.

Crispin Freeman too, but I'm starting to wonder if he did so many roles he overloaded or something.

EDIT: Ah hahaha, I just wasn't watching/playing the right stuff... that had him in a major role that is. He was in SR3 though.

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

Motherfuckin Keith David.

 

[Stormwatch]

Robin Atkin Downes as The Player

My deck is still warm!

 

[Slayven]

btw, Veteran Child (presumably a DJ now) is a Saints Row 2 character



this game seems to be really tied to SR2. Moreso than 3. Plenty of characters returning. Shame Keith David isnt voicing Julius Little.

But you killed him.

 

[HyperCubed4]

Nolan North as The Player

Robin Atkin Downes as The Player

Seriously, Nolan. Take a break. A longer one. I'd rather my character sound like The Medic than Drake, Desmond and umpteen thousand NPCs.

I bet you in a late game twist, you will find out Keith David is actually Julius, and if not, you know he will casually call you "Playa" here or there.

 

[ultron87]

Laura Bailey is the winning choice that winners pick.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Yeah, I gotta say, I tried all three voices in SR3, but Laura Bailey worked best for my boss, and I can't imagine using anyone else now

 

[Noisepurge]

who did the latina badass female voice in SR3?

 

[apesh1t]

I always wondered why they put so much effort into the voice acting. I would have been happy with half of those player voices if they spent more money on developing a new city.

 

[Alienous]

Seriously, Nolan. Take a break. A longer one. I'd rather my character sound like The Medic than Drake, Desmond and umpteen thousand NPCs.[/QUOTE]

Doesn't Downes do a cockney mobster voice for Saints Row?

 

[slightconfuse]

This game is going to be One of a kind!

 

[Jamie OD]

This game is going to be One of a kind!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

 

[Karak]

I chuckled at RVD.

 

[Sylverstone14]

The Whole F'n Show, Rob Van Dam!

Really good cast. Pumped to hear the old SR2 Shaundi again.

EDIT: Wait, no Eliza as SR2 Shaundi? Boo.

 

[netBuff]

Seriously, Nolan. Take a break. A longer one. I'd rather my character sound like The Medic than Drake, Desmond and umpteen thousand NPCs.

Just select one of the other player voices (Cockney has been my favourite in the past).

Having Nolan North as an available option is part of the joke with this game, I'm sure there are going to be quite a few references to Nolan being so prevalent in gaming.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

will play using laura bailey

This is the only right choice.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I just want this game so bad, I started playing 2 and its really fun.
