Useless Rising‘s Frank West voice actor Terence Rotolo received’t be returning for the Deluxe Remaster, and followers needed to know why, in order that they went direct to the supply. Capcom introduced that the sport will function “new, high-end character modeling for Frank West,” however it was shortly observed that the character’s voice wasn’t the identical both.
In response to a fan’s Instagram DM shared by X customers FrankByDaylight and rxysinister, Rotolo thanked followers for his or her help and revealed that he merely wasn’t contacted for the position. From the sound of his message, it seemed like Rotolo would have jumped on the alternative, however alas, this time Capcom determined to go along with another person.
“I’ve at all times been grateful for each alternative to convey Frank to life,” Rotolo wrote. “I merely wasn’t referred to as for this mission. The explanations are the producer’s personal.”
There’s some hypothesis that Capcom prevented Rotolo as a result of he’s a part of a union. Though there’s no proof of this, the video games trade does appear to proceed expressing a robust dislike for unions.
That stated, Rotolo is a recurring voice in Resident Evil video games, so it’s totally potential that Capcom’s determination had nothing to do with unionization.
