I'm not sure if you guys have heard of it yet, but the Sonic cast has been revamped, or at least most of them. [Link] I can honestly say I cannot imagine Roger as Sonic. You know, he's the guy who did Chris from RE5, Diedara from Naruto and Siegfried in SCIV. He has done voices with less... Muscularity? But as Sonic... I don't know, but I have faith in him to do a good job. Next, Kate Higgins as Tails? Again, I don't know... You guys might know her, she's Sakura from Naruto and Nanako from Lucky Star. And again, I'm hoping she'll be better than the previous one. And finally, Mike Pollock as Robotnik. He still is the Eggman voice since the re-cast in 2005. He has an amazing voice of Eggman and I was quite happy they didn't replace him. Right now, there aren't news about the other characters, but seeing this gives me hope that it'll be a better cast. I wish they would release a demo tape or something like that so we can hear them.

Anybody is probably better then Jason Griffith. Yes he was getting better but he never was able to capture the character like Ryan did, plus he just seemed overly peppy. Sonic isn't supposed to be that peppy. Sonic is a laid back character (If you've read the comics it shows). I think this could be a good change, and heck Roger did Ezio from AS2, so I think he'll do good. If he can pull a guy from 1400's Italy off, I'm sure he can do Sonic. Tails new VA? Eh.......She'll probably do alright. Though I've never heard her in any game. I just wonder why they can never find a guy to do his voice And Eggmans. Good call Sega. Mike is probably one of the best people out there, he's probably better then the guy who he replaced by now XD |

Eggman was probably the only character who never had a bad voice. XD And the one before Mike had a more sinister voice, which didn't entirely appeal to me unlike Mike's. |

Tails is 8 years old. He had a guy for his voice, but he hit puberty and couldn't do the voice anymore. This is why most young males in voice acting are voiced by females. Kate Higgins was an AWESOME Torakaka in Continuum Shift, and I look forward to her voicing one of my all-time favorites in the series. |

Anythings better then the crappy voices we had. Except Eggman, his is great. I think Kate could pull of tails, but I think Maxey Whitehead would've been perfect for tails. Shes voices Alphonse in Fma Brotherhood. But Whatever. I cant wait for this. Good Sonic games now please? Steve Blum as Knuckles? |

Don't forget Shinji from Bleach. Hmmm...I dunno. It's so random. Roger doing Sonic's voice is like Crispin Freeman doing Sonic's voice. Talk about a mis match. And Kate Higgins as Tails? I always thought she would choose Amy Rose since both Amy and Sakura are female, have green eyes, killer tempers, and have pink hair. Hmm...go figure. |

Win.
I swear I thought no one else noticed that. I found a couple of clips of Roger as Sonic. First Video Second Video Those were clips of him voicing Sonic. The first clip was just. Wow... It's not Sonic, but as an adult, it's ok. But the second one, that's sounds better in every way. Edited by SMS1996, Aug 8 2010, 08:34 AM.

It was confirmed however that he won't sound like that in the actual game. He was probably experimenting with these. And at least the second gives us hope that he'll get better. |

He sounds...err...like a 30 year old Sonic. I suppose he'll get better with practice. Come onnnnnnn Roger! I'm for ya. Ok, who's going to voice Shadow and Silver? |
