Voice casting.

I'm going to wait until after ship to confirm or deny some stuff here as I want you guys to think of the characters, not the actors when you play the game.

Yes!
I hate it when I know exactly who is talking, ruins the character for me sometimes.

Looks like we have to sit through the credits people.

A Ken quote is always Godly.

So it looks like we'll get an official confirmation from Ken after release. But until then, let the blasphemous speculation continue! XP

I'm pretty sure now I recognise a few of the voices,if Ken wants to confirm anything,other than the voice actors...a date for the elusive demo would be most welcome!

I think the great thing about voice actors is that they are so good that you forget who is playing them and they simply become a character. I know Michael Bell does the voice of Raziel in Soul Reaver, but when I hear Raziel speak in the game I'm thinking, "That's Raziel talking." Not Michael Bell.

The transformation is really rather incredible.

Thats an excellent point,and the same can be said for the remarkable Stephen Russell.

Do we know if he makes an aural appearance in Bioshock?

He will be in Jericho. A nice CM revealed the info.

And I have to say I've never had a problem with knowing the actor's name when I'm playing a game. Only if he/she does a bad job. But otherwise he is not "the" actor, he is the character.

Maybe Ken could reveal the info in the "In-Game Discussion" topic where spoilers can be posted.

Good point, thanks! While I know some people may not agree, I think the voice acting in System Shock 2 was excellent overall, and I never once managed to match up two characters who shared the same voice actor.
