"Here lies Troy Baker. You may not have liked him, but dammit he was everywhere." That's what the legendary voice actor jo🌠kingly declared will be placed on his gravestone one day, during an a few days ago. And besides the self-deprecation, we're inclined to agree.
Baker has voiced characters of all shapes and forms, from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us' Joel and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:BioShock Infinite's Booker DeWitt, to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Death Stranding's Higgs and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's Oceloꦦt. Now, joining the likes of these and seemingly millions of other roles, we have The Maw. That's the name of The Medium's main antagonist.
The Medium is a psychological horror game developed by Bloober Team that plays out simultaneously in our world and the Spirit World. In , a split-screen effect is demonstrated, showing how you can explore both planes of existence using protagonಞist Marianne and her astrally-projected 🔜self at the same time.
At the end of said gameplay video, you can catch a glimpse (if you can even call it that much) of The Maw. But whatever you aren't able to see is made up for by what you can hear. Good ol' Troy himself, who you really wouldn't be able to identify as such if you 🐼weren't explicitly told it were him. Those garbled, strangled murmurings are pure nightmare-fuel.
The Maw is apparently some sort of mysterious (and terrifying, of course) "entity" which exists outside of gender conventions and the like. According to Baker, playing this role is𒅌 something distinctly different to what he's used to: "This is something I've never done before, and there's a fear and a challenge that comes with that. You start asking yourself...'is this something I can do?'"
Well so far, it certainly seems like he's doing a bang up job of it. During the interview, Baker gives us ano𒁃ther taste of what we can expect The Maw to sound like, and the way that guy just switches seamlessly into Maw Mode halfway through his sentence is spectacular. Seriously, have a listen (at around timemark 9:33):
Baker also hints that the game will be exploring the disturbing dynamic involved in being stalked by an enemy who you almost want to be friends with, who you want꧑ to have like and protect you. "There's nothing scarier than t🍃hat," he says.
Look out for this fascinating psychological horror💞 title coming to PC and Xbox Series X later this year.
