Yea, I just tried the Dark Void demo tonight. I just kept having flashbacks of Uncharted. If you have watched the Uncharted 2 BTS, Nolan does a kick-ass impression of Christoper Walken. Why can't he do that for a role? Or better yet, ND should have had that as an unlockable. "All Drake's Lines As CW."

If you are willing to pay him a yearly salary, then I'm sure he'd quite voice acting.

OMG that is something i could do. Yay, and i can just make him only do Uncharted 3.

Well then what are you waiting for?!

There really musn't be a lot of voice talent available, or devs simply don't care, and hire the ones with the most previous experience.

It's actually off putting going from Uncharted to Assassins Creed II. You're trying to get into a new character, and understand his story...But his voice is exactly the same.

He's being overused in my opinion.

Ok, I will be leaning on the side of him getting around a bit too much.  He is great, but when I played Shadow Complex, I kept thinking Natan Drake was in it.  Yes, Nathan had yet another adventure.

Don't worry about that, Nate is not the main character, Ezio has a different VA

 

Anyway, the reason he does the same voice is because he is asked to. He was actually Sigmund in Ratchet a Crack in Time, but in most other times they want that Nate voice

It would be cool if Nolan could approach the level of Bruce Campbell in regards to pull and make it so that he can do other voices, instead of the Nathan Drake one.

It's funny to me that everyone assumes that he can't change his voice. Go listen to his role in Ratchet and Clank. Also, in an interview recently for Uncharted 2 it was revealed that he does voiceover work for many famous celebrities to fix lines in movies when the celebrities can't make time for it themselves such as for John Travolta and Christopher Walkin and he did their voices and it sounded like it was really them. He's actually talented, it seems to me that the people who cast them in these roles want the nathan drake voice. And honestly, every time I hear him in a game now, I actually get excited and remember how awesome drake. Which makes me like these characters I would normally dislike much more because of the association with my new favorite gaming icon.
