Zarwin is teh bestest.

Is there a list of confirmed voice actors for ODST out there somewhere? Because I'm pretty sure that Nathan Fillion is in there, which would make this game AWESOME.

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

I think they said that Nathan Fillion voices the Rookie in the rare times he speaks.

...Or not. Either way, he's definitely one of them.

He's not the rookie. he's the leader. I can never catch the characters name though.

I'm not sure, but in the one video where it shows the team talking without their helmets Buck sounds like Nathan Fillion. But that is just me....

Can anyone confirm or deny?

  • 06.04.2009 11:45 AM PDT

who cares?

i mean play the game for what it is, don't react so intensly when you hear Nathan Fillion's voice.

plus, how would it make the game any better or worse if one particular person just happened to get a role voice acting?

If I am not mistaken, yes. The leader is Buck who is voiced by Nathan.

Because a poorly done character can ruin the game. Fillion has done a lot of good work, especially with Firefly, and his voice fits an ODST trooper. I'll play the game regardless, but characters mean the difference between one play through and multiple play throughs.

Buck is lead, and last i checked, he actually had hair... Awfully similar hair to Mr. Nathan.

I did notice quite a strong physical resemblance as well.

Drink up baby, stay up all night.
With the things you could do, you won't but you might.

That, and voice acting itself is very curcial in a game.
Nothing in comparison of gameplay or maybe graphics, but it what sets the difference between good games and great games.

Wikipedia says Nathan is in the game. Now, on to other Firefly alum, I believe I heard Alan Baldwin as well. It would make sense that he's in game, he did marine voices for Halo 3.

This world sucks. Socialism rocks. 4chan and /b/ aren't bad. The Flood has lost it's shininess. The Internet is still the same. The Halo 3 Forum has drastically changed, for the better, since Halo 3/2007. And still I'm one depressed Mother-blam!-.

List of the Characters and their actors.

Rookie=Unknown
Dutch=Adam Baldwin
Buck=Nathan Fillion
Dare=Tricia Helfer
Mickey=Alan Tudyk
Romeo=Unknown

They selected previous voice actors... I think 'cause they were ODST... or something like that.

Thank you, sir. Oh, Tudyk is there as well! Nice, it's almost like a wonderful reunion.

of course i never said it wasn't, in fact, i agree entirely.

however, i want to say that someone doesn't have to be a well known actor to be a voice actor, noone flipped out when a radio DJ from Illinois played MC, and noone has, why all of a sudden are we jumping on the fact that someone is being played by a well known actor?

i mean, it just annoys me a little bit that i've seen over 20 threads on this, that might be why i'm reacting the way i am, but i could care less if i knew who played who, i'd rather say that that voice belongs t that character, not an actor.

About half the crew of the Serenity is doing voices for the squad.

Yeah, Nathan Fillion is the squad leader. Cylon number six is Dare.

-Old Browncoat saying

Veritas vos liberabit

I'm a big Firefly and Battlestar Galactica fan, so I recognized their voices rather easily. And since the CG characters are made to look like the actors that play them , it was even easier.

*Buck: Nathan Fillion (though we were told this one)
*Dutch: Adam Baldwin
*Dare: Tricia Helfer (we were told this one, too)
*Mickey: Alan Tudyk
*Romeo: Actually, I don't know. I recognize the voice and face, but I can't place a name to them.
*Rookie: Don't know either, but when Romeo hits the Rookie with the sniper and he yelps, it doesn't really sound like Nathan Fillion to me, but that's me.

EDIT: Looks like everyone and their brother recognized them, too... But does anyone recognize Romeo? His voice sounds familiar, but I don't know why.

I believe the Voice actor for MC has done a great job. But we didn't know he would until we heard it in game. Here, we have actors who are known for their Sci-fi roles and put out very good work, and it's nice to see that they like the franchise enough to take time out to give a voice to some great characters.

Speaking of voice actors, I want to hear some of the new medals available in Firefight!

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Are you sure that Tudyk is playing Mickey? I've listened to him again and again and I don't hear it.

Yeah ! Firefly back together again!

If you look at the bios for buck, dutch and micky , they are similar to aspects of their Firefly characters. Dutch I think similar to himself in real life.

Buck is the commander and is voiced by Nathan Fillion. If you watch the opening cinematic you will find that the characters (including Buck) are designed in the likeness of the actor that portrays them.

The ODSTs are modeled after their voice actors.
