Hearing Troy Baker’s Voice come out of Joel is Fantastic, but seeing him act it out is Haunting.

[@matthewdh123]

Really wish they gave him the roel for Joel in the upcoming HBO last of us series. Have him bulk up a bit, die his hair. His voice. Boom, fucking Joel. Crazy bit they actually got him to be in the series, but didn't cast him as Joel. Dropped the ball on that one IMO.

[@IronBeagle2003]

@@matthewdh123 Yeah but Pedro Pascal is also a really good choice for Joel. It is weird that Troy is in the show as a part of David’s Group, but Pascal is a great actor and I think he can nail it.

[@matthewdh123]

@user-sm3zp4it3q Pedro is a good actor. Nothing against him, just crazy that Troy Baker was available and they chose Pedeo instead. Troy has the voice. I mean it is his voice. Even looks like Joel. Plus we know he can act, the game was all him. Mocap. This was a great opportunity for him. Considering The Last of Us to me is still my favorite game of all time. It would of been amazing to see him in it as Joel.

[@devilix123987]

maybe, but i think the purity of the story, is what strengthens it. a TV series would be long winded and the way this is enclosed into a single title, a single video game is what makes it so impactful, and emotional. waiting for the next episode of a tv series would detach you from the characters, and their incredible depth in my opinion.

[@jamaljames9331]

Voice actors are very underrated. They have so much range and can pull off accents extraordinarily well, even while performing in motion capture and this video proves it! I seriously wish Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson appeared in more live action films. I've seen Ashley make a small appearance in The Avengers as the waitress Captain America saved, but she honestly deserves to have a lead role in something live action. Same with Troy Baker.

[@deRoyLight]

Such incredible performances.

TLOU cutscenes give me goosebumps. The gameplay requires strategic planning to defeat the enemies just likc Metal gear games did. This game has a lot of heart and brings a ton of different emotions to both the actors and the gamers.

[@EMVM9000]

this still tears me up

[@abigailwallace7732]

And that's only with capturing body movements, in the second one, they are also doing motion capture on the actors' faces. Their facial expressions add so much more to their performances. For example, in this you can see Ashley's eye brows move so much more than Ellie's does in the game, adding so much more emotion.

A lot of it is improvised when making games but also thing do really happen behind the scenes of filming games in mocap.
