Thought so, but wanted to make sure. I’m gonna have to be careful then. Thanks.

When the awful but inevitable day comes when IO will have to recast 47’s voice actor, either because David Bateson is retired, incapable of speaking, or deceased, who comes to mind as a potential candidate to take up the role?
Currently, the only person I can think of who has the potential for deep intensity laced with sarcasm and a vaguely European accent, would be Benedict Cumberbatch. A bit too high profile right now, perhaps, but I think I can hear it.

Its going to be Troy Baker, this guy is like in every video-game

He’s good at voices but I don’t think he could do 47. You have to have somebody who can’t hit high pitch to be able to do the right low pitch. I can’t see Baker doing it.
Perhaps Nolan North, but that’s a stretch.

Great so far our list of possible 47 replacements is Nolan North, Troy Baker and Benedict Cumberbatch.
I guess my recommendation (a serious one at least) is Gideon Emery.

double negative aside, i wouldn’t be unhappy with john hopkins taking the role.

I am not going to leave that double negative aside.
I mean he is probably easier to reach than Benedictine Cumbria Patch.

H2SA-Absolution had german voices and the man who voiced 47 was Torsten Michaelis, he did a fantastic job. I hope we’ll can have him back at some point in the future.
Also german Diana from H2SA is probably my favorite voice in any video-game.

Well that is great that we have the German dub 47 sorted out but that doesn’t help us at all with the standard voice acting.
They can just splice the audio together from the old Games, like they did in South Park with the Chef

First of all none of the Germanic languages are normal like this German word Kraftfahrzeug-Haftpflichtversicherungor the Dutch word here: meervoudigepersoonlijkheidsstoornis. That word is 35 letters long and 38 in plural form.
Second of all you know what I mean. The German voicing is a dub but the standard voicing would be in English. Bateson is an English speaker, Perry is and most of the cast is.

Whats your problem you Dreikäsehoch?

Ugh, I hate when something gets overused way too much and Troy is certainly overused in video games.
I think if IO looks hard enough, they can find someone that sounds similar. I sure did by accident 
Sherlock (Jeremy Brett) sure sounds very similar to David, sadly he has long passed away.

I’ve never thought I’d read the word Dreikäsehoch on HMF, made me actually chuckle a bit.
My favorite german word is “verschlimmbessern”, by the way. It means making something worse by improving it.

Ah yes we have a loan word from the French for that: Entrepreneurship.
