Star Wars: The Old Republic – Now with Commander Shepard!

Jennifer Hale is in SWTOR

This Christmas eve let us celebrate an amazing Bioware crossover event.  For a while now I’ve been hearing rumors that the best female voice actress in the biz, Jennifer Hale was going to be the voice of the Trooper class in Bioware’s upcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic. Well with this X-mas eve trailer those rumors have been confirmed!  You now have commander Shepard in The Old Republic. For those unaware of Jennifer Hale’s pedigree, she was the voice of the female Commander Shepard in Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2, as well as key characters in Brutal Legend, Metal gear Solid 4, Metroid Prime (Samus!), and dozens of other roles.  Check out this new SWTOR trailer starring Commander Shepard!

Comic-Con 2014: Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor with Troy Baker

Comic-Con-LogoI was lucky enough to talk to the cast and creators of Monlith’s upcoming action adventure RPG Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego. Myself and other members of media peppered Michael de Plater (Director of Design), Christian Cantamessa (Lead Writer), and Troy Baker (voice of Talion), with questions about the upcoming title which is set to launch on September 28th. Baker, who gamers might recognize from starring roles in The Last of Us and Bioshock: Infinite, had some interesting things to say about the voicing the game’s protagonist Talion and just how important Tolkien’s work is to nerds everywhere.

PAX Prime 2014: Hands On Dragon Age: Inquisition Multiplayer

PAX_SQUAREI was a colossal fan of Mass Effect 3: Multiplayer and really felt like the folks at BioWare created a truly memorable cooperative experience with almost endless replayability. When I got wind that Dragon Age: Inquisiton would have cooperative multiplayer I was instantly excited and intrigued. Scott and I made our way down to the Microsoft booth during media hour (just a few moments ago) to give Dragon Age: Inquisition Multiplayer a shot. The four player cooperative experience was just announced a few days ago and the idea of running around Thedas with friends causing trouble sounded appealing to say the least.

    She was also the voice of key characters in kotor 1 and 2. “Hi, I’m commander Shepard, and Jennifer Hale is my favorite voice actress on the citadel.”

    Her list of credits is so vast it could sink the internet. Having played both a female and male Shepard, her portrayal is by far my favorite. I’m going to secretly have to play a trooper on the side when this drops.

  3. Scott

    Secretly? You’re going Sith aren’t you? We’re going to start planning this thing out now. I’ve got plans…

      Are you implying that you can choose a Republic class and then switch alliance?

      1. Scott

        I’m not sure, but I have a few inclinations about what class I might want to be. We could further plan to have a good assortment of classes for questing, etc.

      2. Ash

        Scientist – There have been rumblings of possibly being able to switch factions after a whole lot of questing, but at this point nobody knows for sure except Bioware.

  4. helloscientist

    There needs to be a sound out on classes that everyone wants to play.

  5. Scott

    we should all join up at the old republic website, and see if we can get started on profiles, a clan, etc.

    Imperial Agent, not sure what subtype until I see a skill tree… and I might as well get this ball rolling now: The Galactic Empire are a bunch of fagasaurous rex’s… “So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. “
