That guy is one crazy loon I still love Michael's VO. The one for Brayko is good too, he's got good deliveries on the insane lines!

He manages to sound both incredibly young and immature and dangerously crazy.

From what we've seen 'till now it looks like the game mixes completely crazy, over-the-top characters with more business-like, complex ones.

Curious to see how they mesh.

[Bullion]

Less mesh, more like SHANK it seems.

 

And by that I mean I think the professional characters maintain very impersonal and on a strictly need-to-communicate basis with the loons.

"I'm gonna cut you up!" While aiming SMGs at Mike. Retard.

I've heard that too much 80s pop culture can have that effect on a person.

[Sannom]

I wonder if the young, crazy and obsessed russian mob boss is a trope I'm not aware of There is an antagonist in a french comic book that reminds me a lot of Brayko : young russian mob boss, ax crazy and completely sadistic, completely obsessed not by 80s culture but by Chopin...

[Starwars]

Not crazy about this guy, might be my dislike for 80s pop culture though, hehe. I like the whole knife schtick though, and pimping out his own sisters at a young age certainly sets the scene of this guy being a dangerous loony. I said this before somewhere, but I do hope there's more depth to these characters beyond the outer insanity of Brayko or the sexual innuendo of SIE. OEI has great writers, so I really hope these characters aren't just one-beat characters so to speak.

 

My fav so far is definitely Leland. I look forward to seeing the tension between him and Mike, looks like it could be good.

Scarlet Lake

 

Could have given her a few more lines in this trailer.. the only thing I learned here is that she's hot.

-Operational Area: Tai Pei

-Journalist (yeah, we knew that, lot's of other people probably not)

-Unknown employer

-She's a hot.. talent

-Few lines, but a good look at her personality

-Good instincts ("There's somehing about you.. makes me think I might just be sitting next to a hitman.")

 

I think she said "headline", not "hitman".

 

But yeah, guessing there's a lot more to this chick than meets the eye. It will be intriguing to see how the relationship/influence system affects how all these characters play out in the end.

You're right.

Leland

 

Still looking good. I'm enjoying these.

Ugh that video player is just... ewww.

 

Anyways, cool trailer, lots of stuff we've already seen though.

 

EDIT: So many spoilers.

[Tigranes]

Man, too much PR.

 

Love Leland's voice acting, it's got the archetype down but also adds a bit of unique style. Didn't get that so much with the journo chick who looks a bit more cliche, but we'll see, I think there's a lot to find out there.

I watched the video, thanks.

Just sayin' that compared to other videos it seemed rather... short on lines for her. Mike said almost everything.

[Nepenthe]

I'm not watching any of these (decided to keep myself as unspoiled as possible), but glad to see the action ramping up. Scandinavian Gamestop has the preorder bonuses, so going to pay them a visit next week. Hope I won't be disappointed in investing in the PS3 version...

The character bits aren't doing much for me, but I thought that one was pretty well done.

Nothing to complain here, the graphics are pretty good too.

Conrad & Mina

[Starwars]

I really liked both of those. Mina has been one of those characters that seems pretty key and friendly to Thorton, I wonder what she's really up to.

 

We didn't know anything about Conrad afaik (just saw him in a trailer or something), seems pretty awesome.

 

Kinda enjoyed these little vignettes, they were pretty fun.

[Raithe]

Ah, the question of how much are spoilers, and how much is just pure tease... At least tis but one more month before I can sink my teeth into this..

[Flouride]

I like these. At least we get to see an actual marketing campaing this time
