A first in franchise history, LittleBigPlanet 3 will feature a full voice cast for its adventure mode, and with English comedian Stephen Fry reprising his role as the narrator, thereās no better villain than his original partner in crime, Hugh Laurie.
Though mainly known these days as Dr. House from the hit medical drama (and Stuart Littleās dad), Hugh Laurie was once half of English comedy duo Fry and Laurie, so LittleBigPlanet 3ās adventure shall be a reunion of sorts. Laurie will voice the villainous Newton, the gameās villain, who no doubt has it in for the power of imagination. That, or heāll nearly kill it three or four times trying to heal it before having some sort of epiphany and saving the day.
Other fresh cast members joining Fry and Laurie include Peter Serafinowicz from Shaun of the Dead, Simon Greenall from Alan Partridge, video game veteran Nolan North and my favorite female voice actor, Tara Strong, who obviously didnāt get the Kevin Smith gigI recommended her for last week. Sorry, Tara.
LittleBigPlanet 3 arrives on the PS4 on November 18. Iām getting it extra enthusiastically now.
