[Poll] Your thoughts on Eric Johnson/Michael Ironside in Blacklist | Forums

[Sharkey1337]

Moving Sam upstairs is not really an option, because it would be be TWICE as disappointing. Not being able to play as Sam, but having him there voiced as someone else - secretly rubbing salt in the wounds - would be terrible.

Well the nice thing with having Ironside voicing Sam for one more game as a support role would give fans final closure on Sam Fisher as he does this one last mission to pass on the baton to the new guy. Not sure how Michael Ironside feels on the prospect of voicing Sam again, but I could see him doing this one last game for his own closure on the character. Now if only Ubisoft actually agreed on changing to a new protagonist...

eric is cool but seriously... bring ironside back.

You know, I'll agree with the fans who want to hear Ironside again, and I sympathize with them. But really, ultimately, I just don't care anymore. Sam Fisher has been dead to me since the end of DA, not just since this new voice actor. So Ironside's departure isn't really my number one concern with this game.

I agree that this might be a good idea also....

But not playing as Sam is really not an option either.

And to be honest, I reckon it was Ironside who called an end to the gig, not Ubisoft.
He had previously stated his lack of interest in doing another project and was convinced for Conviction.

He obviously wasn't to be re-convinced for Blacklist.

It was probably all the swearing that put him off !!

@ Topic
Am I the only one who notices how much better (or rather more like Sam) Eric sounds if he's just doing short phrases of one/three words.
It's the sentences that make me like, "That's not Sam..."

Has anyone the feeling that Archer looks like Eric?

No you're not the only one, I think the same thing.

For example, at the beginning of the gameplay demo when Sam says, "Wrong answer!" after the terrorist spits in his face and "Jadid. Where?" I identify the voice as Sam's.

But then later on when he says things like, "Grim, technical in the plaza." or "Just the man I'm looking for." I just disengage and don't identify the voice as Sam's.

Eric isn't bad AS A NEW CHARACTER. I can't believe ubi toronto is acting so blindly by replacing sams voice, it isn't a smart move making a new protagonist is the most popular decision they could do. Blacklist has the power to save the franchise or ruin it. But ubisoft is going to do what ubisoft is going to do
