Hope it's not too different. I liked Sonic's old VA

That sucks... Why have they changed it anyway? Jason was good at it...

Well, hold on a second, SFG. I have to point out (in my very smug way) that this could be a great move forward for the series. This guy has a lot of talent in voice acting. Have you heard the voices in Resident Evil 5 and Assassin's Creed 2? Okay, so they're both games I have no interest in but I will credit them for having way-past-decent voice acting. Let's not be so quick to judge.

If people want Roger Craig Smith's previous workings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B77hss_dEX8#t=02m42s I think this cinches the facts.

I'll reserve judgement until I hear him voice Sonic, I just hope he's good...

What about Shadow though? Jason did his voice too.

I doubt Roger will voice him too. Chris Redfield is probably his deepest voice and I doubt he could go deeper than that.
