Holy X-Files, Batman! Adam West and David Duchovny are added to the voice cast of this anticipated shooter.
XIII is the cel-shaded first-person shooter that everyone's talking about, and for good reason. The game's presentation has it pass off for a real-life comic book.
Today, Ubi Soft has announced that two big names have signed on to lend their voice talents to the game. David Duchovny of X-Files fame, and Adam West, the original Batman, will both be heard in XIII.
Here's Ubi Soft's take on Duchovny:
"XIII isn't like any videogame I have ever seen -- it plays like a suspenseful movie with a conspiracy-ridden storyline filled with enough twists and turns to keep everyone guessing," said Duchovny. "Players are in for a lot of surprises with this game -- things are never what they seem, making for good drama and a great game."
XIII is a stylish, first-person shooter thriller featuring a conspiracy of epic proportions. Duchovny takes on the role of XIII, a secret agent with complete amnesia who must discover clues behind his true identity. Avoiding pursuit by the FBI, who accuse him of assassinating the president, and a mysterious group called the Twenty are just two of XIII's challenges; he must also uncover sinister plots against the U.S. government from its highest offices.
And here are the details on Adam West:
"XIII's visual style is extremely eye-catching," said West. "The game's comic text and pop-up windows are similar to elements we used with the Batman series to stay true to the comic. In XIII, it builds this graphic-novel world to the last detail."
XIII features a unique visual style utilizing cel-shaded graphics to showcase the game's comic roots. Based on a popular graphic novel, XIII employs various comic elements, including pop-up windows and cartoon text to make the graphic-novel world come to life. Adam West, who played one of the cartoon world's famed heroes, Batman, plays the role of General Carrington - a hard-nosed military general leading an independent inquiry into the presidential assassination. Carrington is the only one who can help XIII find out his real identity and the truth behind who killed the president.
