Let him go...
Yes it will suck to play as a sam fisher without THE kick ass voice, but if hes demanding too much money that if Ubi paid him it would likely cut on production quality of the actual game, which I care more about than the voice of the main character...

Agreed. If he's going to be a douche, let him go. I can still enjoy the game without his voice. If you've followed through all the Splinter Cells, then considering Sam's situation, he probably doesn't have much to say, or feel like talking. Use that.

If actors think they should get a large cut for the success of games when teams spend 3-6 years developing some titles they have another thing coming.

I'd rather hear the Mail Guy at Ubisoft do a voice than any douche who wants a bigger cut for yelling into a mic.

Agreed. It is not like the voice can't easily be replaced.
If it is true then it sounds like a typical actor

I agree up to a point. Certainly, for a game like Splinter Cell, voice acting is hardly the most vital component.

For a game like Mass Effect, where it's pretty much all about talking, it's a little different, though. If ME2 came along and my female Shephard was no longer voiced by Jennifer Hale, I'd be a sad person.

Eh, I got used to the new Lambert, I'm sure I can get used to another Fisher.

Sucks, cause I always thought that Ironside would be a cool guy in real life...

What made you think that? The way he slinks around in the dark, killing people and basically doing whatever he wants, all for a corrupt government?

LOL

wait, what new Lambert? Don Jordan wasn't around for 1 game only where Dennis Haysbert filled in for him.. but he played Lambert in 1,2, and 4. Really, we're back to original Lambert after a special guest-star.

Well, at least he was asking for some cash unlike that GTAIV douchebag on youtube.

That video is fake, or that's is own fault for taking the job. Do you really think the voice actors had no idea that GTA IV would be a success? Please.

And for anyone who says the voice doesn't matter? Think in your head that the Sesame Street muppets are the voices. Master Chief doesn't say much, but if ELMO was the voice, you wouldn't care?

You see. I'm sure it's fully acceptable to "REQUEST" said amount of money and debate over it. But demanding, that's pushing it.

I'll be disappointed if he doesn't do the voice of Sam, but I'll live I'm sure.

You know, if I was having to stand around for three years for the game to be completed I would probably be a little irritable and want more money as well.

I'm sure he got paid within the month of the recording work; video game voice actors don't get royalties (no one working in games really gets them period).

Ego = Cut

If he thinks they rely on him now, he can take a hike

IF this is completely accurate and not spin from Ubisoft then I support the decision.

rumor or not... i'm used to his voice in that game. just like the Tom Clancy's name brand on their products. Ubisoft did the name brand thing on purpose from the getgo for exposure & now they are BIG & egocentric. i'm sure if he was an @ss, he wasn't the only @ss. Especially, a corporation (group of ppl) versus one guy. I'm sure the hostility went both way.

Seriously, who ever heard of a Holleywood actor letting his ego get in the way.
