New Sonic Voices!

[YolkaEd]

So, Sega's switched out all the voices of the Sonic crew, from the 4Kids cast to a different cast. As of right now, only three new voices are confirmed: Sonic's being played by Roger Craig Smith, who did Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5, Tails is being played by Kate Higgins, who did Sakura from Naruto, and Eggman's still being voiced by Mike Pollock.

Here's the link to the blog confirming the news: blogs.sega.com/usa/2010/07/15/out-of-the-mouths-of-hedgehogs/

Probably old news to some, but hey, what the heck. Here's a cutscene from Colors, where we get to properly listen to Roger and Kate as Sonic and Tails.



I have to say; Roger's not bad as Sonic, and he plays the role nicely. Tails is also absolutely perfect.

Whoa 0.o I didn't expect to hear a voice like that come out of Sonic. It sounded suspiciously like Dan Green at first, and then I had to get used to it.

But I think Roger did a good job. He gave Sonic a new entertaining sense of humor XD

Kate sounds like she's trying to hard to make her voice deeper...

So the new Sonic Riders is for the XBox for their new Kinect, and it has the new voices. Videos aren't impressive, but clips of the new gameplay looks awesome, as for the voices, you be the judge.
