Thief dev explains why it ditched original Garrett voice actor • News • Eurogamer.net
Bullshit.
Bullshit.
"With the new visual of Garrett we'd created, we found that there was a disconnect that we couldn't ignore between the concepted character and Stephen's voice today," Gallagher explained.
"And to answer your question directly, the actor playing Garrett needed to be able to perform his own stunts," Verbert said.
"Garrett's a really athletic guy. We could have pasted Stephen's voice on top of the actions and stunts of someone else, but this wouldn't appear natural. It really wouldn't make any sense to capture the full performance for our other characters, but not for our star."
