deanb Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Chloe Frazer (Claudia Black) was in previous Uncharted games since Ethan wasn't aware on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 As soon as you said that I realized who she was, I just didn't realize it was the same character at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted June 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Dammit, Ethan! I saw that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Claudia Black's voice is pretty darn distinctive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I think it's one of those things of seeing her in stuff before, e.g Farscape and Stargate, which I've a feeling Ethan hasn't seen either. IIRC he's remarked not recognising Morrigan from Dragon Age, Tess from Destiny n the Quarian admiral in Mass Effect as the same person. Cos yeah I'd say she's quite a distinct female VA. Quite bass heavy tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Chloe got a nice butt. Australian accents are sexy. /endcontribution Seriously, though, I've really liked Laura Bailey in everything (Nier, Tales from the Borderlands, inFAMOUS: Second Son, Saint's Row, etc.) except Uncharted, where she should not be playing that character. Also, I like Claudia Black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as her voice being distinctive, I haven't played an Uncharted game in probably 5 years. And Dean is correct that I haven't seen Stargate (well, not more than a couple episodes infinity years ago) or Farscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I know her from Farscape, it's true. I recognized her voice immediately in Dragon Age, but not in Mass Effect because of the Quarian vocoder filter thing. I'm looking forward to this game and the interplay between Chloe and Nadine.

That is an interesting uncomfortable casting decision. Surprised I missed that controversy first time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Oh, yeesh, that's bad. *Edit - If Laura's description of events is correct, then I can see how they ended up where they were. According to her she was cast as the character before the character was designed, she was just an intelligent, strong-willed, South African woman at that point. Then after she was cast and they'd begun rehearsing the character designers came up with the current design for the character, with her being black. So then they were faced with either fire the voice actor, redesign the character to be white (and thus lose a strong character of color), or go forward with it. I can see how none of those options are particularly appealing. Sounds like they need to change something about the process to try to prevent something like that happening again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Yeah, in this instance I really think choosing a voice actor of colour would have been the best way to go. Laura is never short of VO work, so not like she is gonna starve off one missed opportunity, sure she'd be annoyed about it, and rightly so, but bigger picture would be better off for more minorities in games behind the scenes... Also, the comments are really shitty on that article "Darth Vader was white and voiced by a black guy, so this is totally fine." ffs... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Something about her looking like Lara Croft, Ethan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Oh yeah, my first comment about it on Discord was something along the lines of "I like how the new Uncharted stars Definitely Not Lara Croft". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
