In the game, based on the book series of the same name, players will control Marcinko/Rourke as he assaults a suspected North Korea ballistics base. Look for it in Q4 of this year on 360, PS3 and PC.

Platforms?

I`m sure there will be plenty of platforms in this game. How else do you get the super secret power armour without having to jump up onto something to get it. You are a N00B.

I would say that too, but it is possible that they edited the article AFTER he wrote that, to make him look like a dummy.

Shouldn't this read as "loosely based on..."?

The Ram Jam is kind of a stupid move. It's like Benoit's diving headbutt but looks even dumber.
The real Ram Jam was when he was nailing that chick in the bathroom at the bar.

This is what gaming needs. More quality B-list actors that aren't above taking roles in games. Just imagine if Bethesda had used this approach for Oblivion and Fallout 3, both of which desperately needed help in the voice acting department. They probably could have hired 4-5 solid professionals with the money they spent on Liam Neilson's sleep-inducing performance alone. All developers should take a page from Bioware's book on voice acting and cinematics. Mass Effect was worth playing for those aspects alone, imo.

The movies he's in. He's a great actor, as are many actors who don't get top billing or make millions per movie.

Uriel Septim was voiced by Patrick "Captain Fucking Picard" Stewart. Oblivion also had 3 other B-list actors: Sean Bean (Boromir and the father in Silent Hill), Lynda Carter (from the original 1970s Wonder Woman, and the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard), and Terence Stamp (General Zod from Superman 1&2 and Chancellor Valorum in Phantom Menace).

BlaqueBeird: Fail. The key word in my original post would be "quality". They only had about 8 different actors in Oblivion so I think it's safe to rule most, if not all, of the ones you named for any quality performances, since 90% (my opinion, of course) of the voice acting in the game was poor. Stewart is good, but his presence in Oblivion does nothing to dispute my theory. Nice work cruising IMDB, though.

You said Liam Neeson, though. That's what I was mainly correcting. That and Sean Bean and Terence Stamp have both played awesome and important characters. But yeah, mostly the Liam thing.

i remember Heavenly Sword had freaking amazing voice acting from Anna Torv (from one of my favorite shows, Fringe) and Andy Serkis (of Lord of the Rings fame) as Nariko and King Bohan respectively. i tell ya, if that game was longer it could probably be in my favorites of all time list. i've personally never played a game with such impressive voice acting. i'm still looking for something to hold a candle to that performance.
so yea, to echo what you're saying, we need more B-List actors to voice these games. it REALLY makes a difference as to how memorable and enjoyable the game is.

Ten years is along time to put on some muscle. Everyone forgets that actors can spend nearly 100% of their time transforming their body to fit a role. Not to mention all the personal trainers, nutritionists, and personal chefs they have at their disposal to optimize their results.

I had a property manager who swears up and down that he served in the Navy S.E.A.L.'s with Marcinko and his Seal team 6. The books were pretty wild, so I'd enjoy seeing the game from his point of view.

yea i doubt it, navy seals dont usually talk about being navy seals, much less somebody in seal team 6

Yeah, Nick, the navy seals, are super hero mythic god-kings that never talk about it.
You're fucking high, they're regular people and proud of being SEALS, for the record, they aren't called seal team six anymore, it's DevGru now.

Yeah they're called seals, but "seal team six" doesn't exist anymore.
It's called DevGRU1 and 2
I never said they don't call them seals.

I live near Marcinko and on occasion can witness him hitting up the beer ailse at Giant. he's a cool guy but definitely doesn't look like the picture on the back of the book anymore. Having said that, he could probably still kill me with his pony tail.

Did you know that Mickey Rourke used to be sexy before he got plastic surgery and all his face parts became boxerish? It's an amazing transition, really.
