We recently learned that Nicolas Cage is taking part in a brand new survivor in asymmetrical aggressive horror sport Lifeless by Daylight, and right this moment Cage himself confirmed up on stage on the Summer time Recreation Fest showcase to speak about his function (at about 47:30 within the embedded video above, which ought to begin there routinely).
“I play this heightened, exaggerated model of a movie actor named Nic Cage,” he informed Summer time Recreation Fest host Geoff Keighley to laughs from the viewers, “and he will a location pondering he is making a film, and as a substitute he wakes up in The Fog. And in The Fog he is surrounded by crows and serial killers, and it is moderately amusing.”
As for why Cage selected to seem in his first videogame, he had a number of causes. One, he appreciated that Sadako of The Ring novels and flicks seems within the sport, and he likes that, for the survivors, it is a cooperative “bonding expertise.” He is bought a fan within the household, too, and stated that he noticed appearing for the sport as an “journey.”
“Somebody essential in my household is a Lifeless by Daylight fanatic, and that basically put the hook in—hah—pun supposed,” stated Cage. “See, Lifeless by Daylight to me was a possibility to department out. I’ve by no means been invited to this house earlier than, and I am at all times in search of new adventures, so this to me was, ‘Wow, I can meet a complete new viewers and department out and go on this Lifeless by Daylight journey.’ It took me nothing however a break up second to say sure.”
I discover it laborious to consider that nobody has ever requested Cage to lend his likeness and voice to a videogame, however possibly? He appears to have loved the duty, anyhow. My favourite Cage remark from his look was his perspective on recording the voice strains for his first sport character.
“See, I would like you to know once you’re taking part in the Nic Cage survivor, I would like you to know that we’re one, that we’re fused,” stated Cage. “So it was necessary to me that all the things I do, all the things I say, from the scream to the grunt, all the way down to probably the most minimal, exasperated expression of a sigh, no matter it’s, it is my voice, in order that we’re fused.”
The Nicolas Cage survivor can be accessible to fuse with on July 25, or earlier on Lifeless by Daylight’s PC take a look at server.
