Drake to voiceover in “Gears of War 3″! (Now this is a collabo that gets me hype;)

(GOW3′s Jace Stratton and YoungMoney’s Drizzy Drake)
Everyone gets all frothy when their hot new rap phenom and their idol-worshiped veteran megastar combine forces….but for me, this is the kind of collaboration that gets me hype! LOL. The homie Godfree from GamerTagRadio just hit me with the news that Drake has signed on to do voiceover in the grand finale of my absolute favorite videogame series, “Gears of War“! I lost many workable hours and devolved socially as a grownup two years ago during my “Gears of War 2″ obsession….but I did manage to “beat the horde” with help from Godfree, and some more skilled friends. So I’m looking forward to welding myself to my couch again when “Gears of War 3″ drops exclusively on Xbox in April, 2011…
Drake is voicing Jace Stratton, a new playable character in the upcoming finale to ["Gears of War"].
In the finale to one of gaming’s most recognizable sagas, Epic has added four player cooperative campaign gameplay, allowing them to bring characters from the extended “Gears” universe to life.
“Jace is a central character in the comic books…” said Epic Executive Producer Rod Fergusson. “When we began casting for the role, ‘So Far Gone’ had just released, and Drake’s combination of heart and grit was just what we were looking for. Rather than search for somebody who sounded like him, it was clear that we should approach him directly… fortunately he turned out to be a huge fan.”
“When Epic came to me with the role, I couldn’t pass it up,” said Drake. “They’ve created an amazing character in Jace, and I’m looking forward to my tour in Delta Squad.”
I wonder if Drake has actually played the series before….or if he’s more a PaRappa/VivaPinata gamer ; )
Check out a look at Drake’s GOW3 character doll, and the trailer for “Gears of War 3″….after the jump
Drake, meet your character Jace Stratton….and his horrific cornrows, lol.

Gears of War is a 3rd person shooter, not 1st person…. a 1st person would be like Halo or Golden Eye where you can only see the gun.

i know everybody loves Halo, but personally I never liked it. Too much jumping, lol….but I love GOW. Also, Im just terrible at online gameplay but the Horde challenge in Gears was challenging but not impossible for me. I could get a good team to help me, and pick a good spot to snipe from. I LOVE IT.

no offense to you miss info but i think your on his [edit] just like a lot of them.. how does this type of collab gets you hyped when i can’t even imagine a girl playing GOW.. a lot of times you tend to exaggerate a lot of stuff.

this is the most ignorant thing I’ve read today. I would respect it if you said, I think you’re on Drake’s dilz because you’re posting too much drake-related stuff, blah blah…..but who the fuck are you to tell me that I don’t actually play GOW.
I’m not exaggerating shit.
not to mention….what loser would lie about playing videogames? Do I get a trophy for sitting on my couch like a slob with a xbox controller? That’s just retarded.
happy friday! (clearly I was very offended, so the “no offense” line was moot)

Agreed – [miss info] get off Drakes [edit]. I understand your excitement about GOW but you’re geeked b/c Drake is doing a voice over?!?

i mean.. when you say something like “now THIS is a collabo that gets me hype” and your talking about drake doing his voiceover in a video game, which is kinda far away from hip-hop.. it just made me question like “wouldn’t miss info be more interested in cam’ron feat. drake collab type shit? or maybe something like drake feat. nas?” something that’s clearly in hip-hop radius.. and okay i cleary did said something that was on my my mind and got you offended which wasn’t my intention and to know that my comment about your “exaggerated unnecessary post (in my opinion)” was the most ignorant thing you’ve read today, i think you should surf more blogging sites and read some of their ignorant comments or walk around few more blocks of wherever you are and start observing what people say to each other.. you just make it sound like i’m a total hater of yours.. which i’m not.. i can’t say i’m huge fan of you but nahright and missinfo are the only sources for hip-hop.. it ain’t like i don’t know any other zillion blogging sites to go to.. i chose to come here or there and that’s it.. so yea i think i got my point acrossed… happy friday to you too and i apologize if you were offended by my sincerity of “one” of your post.

if you read what I said without putting your slant on it, you’d see that what I meant was….people get all hype about random collaborations between famous people, many of which aren’t good. For example, that eminem x rihanna song. But I like the combo of Drake and GOW because….I like Drake’s music….and I like GOW. Its not rocket science and its not a statement about hip hop. Its a statement about me. Its like someone offering me a plate of crab/pork soup dumplings, and turning on Justified. I’d be happy with that. Maybe Drake will suck on his voiceover. I highly doubt it will ruin the game. And as for other blogging sites, and hip hop overall….I post more than enough hip hop content, be it new music, news, videos, etc….so I reserve the right to post any other random content I want. Random musings and context from experience are what I offer to make this spot different. I appreciate you coming by and I hope you will continue to….but I have every right to be offended when someone insinuates that I lied about playing a videogame. I’m not in the habit of lying, especially for something so low-stakes. And women are diverse creatures that you shouldn’t pigeonhole.

I don’t like this at all. I’m not a Drake hater, but he doesn’t strike me as a tough dude. Gears of War has always felt like a trip on testosterone, and I don’t see Drake’s voice fitting into that mold.
Don’t care what y’all think, u can’t tell me nothing.

Lmao, it doesn’t really apply to GOW too much, but it’s someone in first-person shooters who hides in dark, hard-to-see corners, and preys on other players by sneaking from behind.

Thanks for revealing your ideas. I’d personally also like to state that video games have been ever before evolving. Better technology and improvements have made it easier to create sensible and enjoyable games. These kinds of entertainment games were not as sensible when the real concept was first being tried. Just like other designs of electronics, video games too have had to progress by way of many years. This itself is testimony for the fast continuing development of video games.
