Roger Craig "Consoles" Smith new voice of Sonic & The God Damn Batman!

[Ryusuke]

If it is, in fact, Bang Zoom now doing the Sonic games, I think Michelle Ruff would be a logical choice to play Amy. Or maybe Kari Whalgren. Yes, definitely Kari. Michelle would be a better Blaze without question.

It's more likely the same studio that did Valkyria Chronicles and Mad World than Bang Zoom. So, it's Studiopolis...I think. I do know Jack Fletcher directs those two games.

Michelle Ruff's voice seems a bit too heavy for Amy. Yes, I know she has some sort of range, but...yeah. Probably would fit Rouge better. I'd like Kari Wahlgren or Jennifer Hale for Blaze. Nolan North for Knuckles. If it doesn't happen, I'll eat this here cup whole. But, seriously, he'd be a good Knuckles.

I've heard people guessing Bang Zoom, Vis and now Studiopolis. Gah!

[gato]

The only thing I want right now is hear Roger saying "I'm Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog!" *strikes a pose*

Other than that I guess we can wait till november for Free Riders to be relased.

Or even better, maybe SoS will be providing our first impressions about the new VA.

This also made me think about that SoniCon in the USA advertising Griffith as the voice of Sonic, poor guys, I feel bad for them. D:

[Chooch]

You know, the voice actors could have easily been chosen regardless of affiliation with certain companies.

I mean, the team selecting the new voice actors kept Mike Pollock because they thought he was a great Dr. Eggman even though he's still 4kids right? And yet, they replaced all the others..

I think it's probably more accurate to believe they just simply got who they wanted to get.

Another Smith voice work video:

There's even a scene where he's with Kate Higgins ^^

The voice acting news is going to be at the tip of every attendees tongue at SoS, I just know it XD It'll be driving me crazy listening to it non-stop while I'm staffing at the Games Zone.

Timothy: "Ooooh what do you think of the new voice actors SEGA announced a few weeks back Douglas?"

Douglas: "Well Timothy, they suck! BRING BACK GRIFFITH!!"

*more fans come over*

Jennifer: "Did I hear Griffth love?"

Douglas: "Yeah, what of it?"

Jennifer: "Ryan is superior!"

*more fans crowd*

Melissa: "You're all wrong, Roger is HAWT and the better voice actor!"

......

...

..

.

"FIGHT!!!"

*SoS put on hold for an hour while voice acting fanboys escorted out by security*

*Fight continues outside regardless*

I pity Urth

Maybe you shoud make a ring for fights, or even better, a mud field for teh laidiez *brick'd*

Nah. It's definitely Studiopolis.

Dunno, depends what games you've got on offer

If there's something starring the new cast then yes, I'm sure that'll be a topic on many people's minds...

[Blue Blood]

Nah. It's definitely Studiopolis.

Or it's nobody. Just because they're attached to studio X and Y doesn't mean that they can only work for them. SEGA may have hired the new VAs individually, much like before the 4Kids switchover.

I think that's exactly what they are doing. I can't see them wanting to be tied down to a dubbing studio again.

[Badnik Mechanic]

Awww crap...one of the first "NOT ROGER" vids are up:

lol he has now disabled ratings.... I guess nobody agreed with him..

[Detective Shadzter]

lol he has now disabled ratings.... I guess nobody agreed with him..

I don't blame them, I thumbed it down last night too. Just left him a comment now too, I love that someone in the comments reported him for whining too XD

I still don't get the need for AAUK's photo in his video

[Sapphire]

Oh God yes it did. While I did like Sonic's voice from Griffith, he used it for everything. DANIMALICIOUS!

You know, the first time I heard one of those Danimal commercials with Griffith, I ran into the room thinking it was a new commercial for a Sonic game or Sonic X...

I always thought it was kinda funny.

I don't see why everyone is getting into a tissy fit.

Unlike the VA RAGE WARS OF 2005, we were well warned (though a bit over dramatic) in advance that there going to switch around the VAs again and instead of picking random people in 4kids cesspool to fill the roles they audtioned for each role (so far).

I will miss jason but i'm guessing this is going to be a normal thing now. we just have to get used to it and hope that each VA will study the last one's quirks and voicing to perfect their own version of sonic or etc.

Ryan's sonic catalogue:

~SA1

~SS

~SA2

~SH

~Advance 2+3

~Various cameos

Jason's sonic catalogue:

~SHTH

~SR 1+2

~Rush 1+2

~S06

~SR

~BK

~SU

~Various cameos

So I'm guessing every 5-7 games we will be getting a VA change. BTW, do these new guys have myspace or facebooks? i want to congratulate them.

[Sapphire]

It's only a matter of time before he disables comments, too.

I don't think that's what they're doing at all (with Mike Pollock being a special case and the guy moving is to LA anyway). Yes, it is true that just because they're attached to studio such and such doesn't mean they can work only for them. But, that's not what I was getting at here. I'm talking about SEGA, not the actors. The team at Studiopolis done some good in their last few games. It makes sense they'd go with that studio (again, not talking about the talent pool).

[Ferno]

Not that this has anything to do with the topic, but I thought this was interesting, it's a recent (2008) interview with Jaleel White, he talks about his former Sonic role and stuff:

[Marcello]

lol he has now disabled ratings.... I guess nobody agreed with him..

To be fair the guy could've been worse. I wasexpecting him to get really angry and saying Roger will suck and stuff. Sure, he was whiney and annnoying, but it could've been worse..

I still don't get the need for AAUK's photo in his video

AAUK makes everything better.

[Indigo Rush]

Studiopolis Zone.

lol

[Shaddix Leto Croft]

Lol @ that rant video it was only a matter of time one of them would be made I don't see why he doesn't like him already I mean we haven't heard any fucking clips of him doing Sonic yet and he has a great voice from what I've heard plus he judging him of his Voice of Chris from RE5 to say that he can't do a 16 year old hedgehog so why the fan rage fits already that guy just plain stupid just to judge him from his Chris Redfield voice then compare it to Jason's Sonic and lol didn't expect AAUK to be in that video XD

[Ferno]

Here's some more reaction vids, one positive, the other neutral-ish:

You know, while I always liked Jaleel White as Sonic, I never really cared much for him, I did't dislike him, I was just indiffrent to him. I never really thought about him caring about Sonic, but this video made me think differently. I loved he Robuttnik line ^^ It brings back memorys.

Also, I he'sonly like 34, I thought he was older oO

But when they said that Kate Higgins was voicing him I was like you know what? it's a chick but I like this chick she sounds cool

Epic

[Badnik Mechanic]

I think I might have to do one of these videos.... it could be fun... mu-hahahaha!
