he's such a yapper, i love him. he always talks about it with such passion and fondness towards his character. i could listen to him all day. great guy and an amazing actor.
he is so passionate about his role as James, both your interview and this one as well are absolutely wonderful! it is such a delight to hear his love for the character.
@@wiltmostyn Thank you so much for watching that. He truly is passionate and I'm so happy that he got to be a part of games now. Hopefully he can get more roles going forward. He probably has one in the works
Luke really set a new standard for video game performances, especially against remaking what we thought to be the impossible. He absolutely deserves recognition for it.
for real man....Luke Roberts should LITERALLY open a Twitch channel and live stream his first playthrough, as the actual actor of James in Silent Hill 2. Imagine that! That would be BIG!! Mr Roberts, if you read this; go for it!
Hoping to see him more often in videogames. He is such a cool guy but also a great actor. He managed to actually say a lot with only his facial expressions . He gave that depressed AF guy aura like only a few can.
The man has just surpassed the original voice actor - Guy Cihi... That's SOMETHING. To think about he didn't win an award... it's just wrong.Luke - forget about about all of those "official" awards... In the hearts of TRUE Silent Hill fans - you're the PERFECT James Sunderland. Forever and ever. Thank you. You're the biggest award in our hearts. Thank you, thank you and thank you... Forever.
Luke's performance as James might honestly be the best acting we've seen in a videogame, period. The small details are everything, especially with a character this complicated.
@@megazver2 Everyone accept Angela was great, specially Eddie. i believe in new Eddie more than original, but new Angela was awful in all aspects, specially in performance, i don't believe that girl was systematicly яaped andkilled his own father. She looks just like random girl who got the role of Angela and she was hurried
@@alexswagger939 i think marias performance fell flat. The angela performance is incredibly realistic. As a victim of abuse, her reactions and deliveries are perfect to reflect such a tragic background
Please get an interview with Angela’s Voice actress if you can…she did just as much of a memorable performance as Luke did! Start crossing fingers that SH2R gets awarded at the Game Awards! 🙏😄
I still can’t get over how great of a job everyone did. I admit, I was a hater. I had absolutely no faith in Bloober Team, and now, I’m all in on whatever they do next. And Luke’s performance was just phenomenal.
The fact that I always knew about Silent hill games but never got to play them or watch gameplays, after I saw Silent hill 2 remake, I was litteraaalllyy OBSEEESSSEEDDD. The actors did an AMAZING job. As an new lover of Silent hill 2, I have to admit that the acting was amazing and very immersive! Good job for the whole team!!
Luke and the team really raised the bar on what a human being can experience through a piece of media. I’ve never felt so much emotion from anything in my life.
Some people say "it's a remake", it's a remake of an 20+ years game that have the same story but the gameplay is new, new design for the locations, new puzzles, remade boss fights, remake graphics and sound and it's a longer game. Not fair not being nominated.
@@JHGgaga Also there isnt a rule denying remakes. Besides, remakes are becoming more common every new year so it's not a good idea to exclude them from these events, in the case of fleshed out remakes.
Great interview! I love listening to Luke speaking, he's so eloquent and calm and it's a pleasure to hear his elaborations :) I really hope he'll be invited to conventions in the future so the fans will have a chance to talk to him directly and let him know what a great job he did on the game. His performance is truly outstanding.
James is basically passive throughout this game. We can read his emotions based on his subtle expressions and body language, and Luke really really well done portrayed those things.
Just beat the game a few nights ago and it was fucking amazing. Luke did such an awesome job and so did the actress who played Mary/Maria. Incredible work and my personal GOTY.
Im surprised that a man who has never seen or known about the original game knocked it out of the park so effectively. That is a the definition of lightning in a Bottle.
thanks you sir luke roberts thank you to bring back my childhood i am glad until now still alive and can play SH 2 remake dont worry for award you still the best for me thank you
Puh-lease do the charity playthrough with him! Great idea! And great interview, thanks! I want as much extra SH2 content as I can wrap my brain around 😁
Realized a little after beating Silent Hill 2 that this guy also played Thomas Wayne in The Batman. It was great to see his full range of acting as a central character aside from that small cameo I recognized him from.
I watched the whole interview over ny morning coffee because I just couldn't turn it off. Thank you for having Luke, it was very interesting to hear about his perspective. He's so easy to listen to and very jice to look at too!
I love the remake and how bloober honored it. Luke and the other actors did an amazing job. Much love from Germany (looking forward to Luke's role when he's talking german ☺️) ❤️
Omg sick! The fact they used Bill Pullman in Lost Highway as a reference is amazing and exactly the kind of thing I wanted to know (outside references) love that they referenced Lynch movies
Amazing Dan, I'm so grateful that you make these interviews with such talented people : ) Luke Roberts won my heart with his politeness and he seems to me such a humble and lovely person! I've yet to play the game, but hell after 10 min of this interview I so much want to. Seems like they did amazing : ). The more I go into the interview, the more I love Luke, such an amazing choice for the role, oh man!! Bless his heart.
❤❤❤❤ Such a lovely Person! Loooved him so much as James and i was VERY critical about this Remake. But Blooper nailed it and Luke was a BIG part for that success because his James was so good! Voted for him of course and if he doesn't win i riot 😂 Thanks Dan and mega hugs for Luke 🥰🥰 And YES praise to Laura too! She was perfect too!!!
I love actors that genuinely care about their roles. There are so many actors that clearly don’t care at all about their role when doing an adaptation of a book, game, etc
Luke did an amazing job as James and I loved the game I know some die hard fans that don’t like the remake and I’m cool with that I’m just glad I finally got back into the world of silent hill again I missed being in it
Might be a bit controversial but I actually like Luke's version of James more than the OG. Even ignoring all the fun technical advancements that the OG didn't have. They're both great, don't get me wrong. Luke just really understood that "James is a sad wet cat of a man" assignment lol
right! og james seems almost aggressive now, and he has every right to, everyone's depression isn't the same and people experience different emotions during it, but i feel like this portrayal of him makes him even more tragic of a character. i genuinely started wondering if luke was in a similar state at any time in his life, because what he did with james seemed almost too real. mindblowing.
Easily the best performance we've gotten in a game since Roger Clarke, and arguably with a LOT more pressure to do well since Silent Hill 2 is so beloved by fans. The expression in his eyes alone sold me every single time he was on screen and if he doesn't at _least_ win best performance at the VGAs then it's just the final nail in the coffin that the VGAs aren't to be treated with sincerity or respect anymore. He did a fantastic job, I love that he's been able to talk about the role with such eloquence and genuine passion. It's also so fun to see that he plays such a soft-spoken and introverted character when in all these interviews he's so chatty!
Finished SH2 few days ago, indeed he was fantastic as expected (loved him since Black Sails). But I also really really liked him in Outcast New Beginning, so many funny lines in that game.
One detail I don't think many notice at the end of Silent hill 2 remake is after James remembers and realizes he killed his wife and is on his way the fight with the two pyramid heads, the couple of mannequin leg monsters on the way not only don't attack him, but are affraid which is peetty cool but most players would probably straight up attack and not notice.
Luke Roberts is really something. I'm glad this is on video bc he emotes really well ...omg just realized he was in Black Sails, my stripper loves that shows and talks about all the actors, I need to bring this up with her!
he's such a yapper, i love him. he always talks about it with such passion and fondness towards his character. i could listen to him all day. great guy and an amazing actor.
So happy that you got to speak with James. He's such a wonderful dude and so fun to talk to
Watched your Interview too, which was great! Luke is really such a sweet person ❤
@@murderycatdoll1380 Thank you so much. Yea Luke is just wonderful
He likes to yap and yap too it’s wonderful
he is so passionate about his role as James, both your interview and this one as well are absolutely wonderful! it is such a delight to hear his love for the character.
@@wiltmostyn Thank you so much for watching that. He truly is passionate and I'm so happy that he got to be a part of games now. Hopefully he can get more roles going forward. He probably has one in the works
Honestly if he doesn't win best performance at the game awards, then it's the biggest robbery in history
I will legitimately crash out
His acting was so dam on point man i hope he gets it
To be fair, if you look at all the nominee for performance, they could all win and i'll be happy with all, that's how strong that category was
Most likely Brianna White as Aerith will win. Too popular a vote.
@@REChronic54 berrett and cloud va were way better, she was hit n miss
Luke really set a new standard for video game performances, especially against remaking what we thought to be the impossible. He absolutely deserves recognition for it.

Too good-looking and well-spoken. What a guy
I really hope Bloober Team will cooperate with Luke in their future projects, we need more of him!
He’s so handsome 😩😩😩
I'd let him smother me with a pillow any day

He did a great job, he deserves so much credit, the game is a masterpiece
Luke's performance as James might honestly be the best acting we've seen in a videogame, period. The small details are everything, especially with a character this complicated.
It's right up there with Arthur Morgan
@@dukeofdawn4348 indeed
All the lil facial twitches and micro expressions were fun to watch
Totally agree. I’ve never seen such detailed mannerisms in a game. Hats off to the scene director also!
Im ean Keanu as Johny Silverhand is probably the best for me ngl
They got James, next we need Maria.
Angela and Eddie as well. Fantastic performances.
@@megazver2 Man, I think Angela's performance was almost on par with James! I'd really like to see Gianna in a interview too
@@megazver2 Everyone accept Angela was great, specially Eddie. i believe in new Eddie more than original, but new Angela was awful in all aspects, specially in performance, i don't believe that girl was systematicly яaped andkilled his own father.

Exactly!! Like there's no appearance for her at all, they all did a great job not just the main 2 characters.
I still can’t get over how great of a job everyone did.
I admit, I was a hater. I had absolutely no faith in Bloober Team, and now, I’m all in on whatever they do next.
And Luke’s performance was just phenomenal.
THIS MAN HANDS DOWN DELIVERED ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES IN GAMIMG
The fact that I always knew about Silent hill games but never got to play them or watch gameplays, after I saw Silent hill 2 remake, I was litteraaalllyy OBSEEESSSEEDDD.
The actors did an AMAZING job. As an new lover of Silent hill 2, I have to admit that the acting was amazing and very immersive! Good job for the whole team!!
one of my favorite things about this game being remade is how many new fans of the series it has created ❤
I had no idea that my all time favorite game had already been made and I hadn’t played it. Can’t wait to play other Silent Hill remakes.
same!!! i saw a really cool fanart of james and that's what made me get into sh2r and the games shortly after. i became obsessed LOL
Such a cool guy. I really hope he wins a bunch of awards for his portrayal. He absolutely nailed the role completely!
Such a well spoken and knowledgeable guy. Very professional actor and I hope he does end up winning some awards for his performance.
You all have the people's award. You've gripped us with your performance, and we thank you for bringing James back to life.
MY ACTOR AWARD HERE!
Now they need to make a Silent Hill 2 movie with him. Do it!
there's already one in the works :)
No cos they will change the fucking story like they always do
Luke and the team really raised the bar on what a human being can experience through a piece of media. I’ve never felt so much emotion from anything in my life.
I can’t believe we got a DLC nominated over Silent Hill 2
well its miles better than everything else nominated. i am quite shocked about the other games getting nominated over sh2 though
I’m a huge FromSoft fan but Silent Hill 2 put SOTE to shame if you ask me.

@@strxbxrryfixldsYeah FF7 Rebirth shouldn’t even be in there.
Here’s hoping he starts getting a lot more roles in video games.
53:44 THE JAMES VOICE OMG
he's such a humble dude!! i wish him the best

Gosh i love this man. He did a fantastic job, along with his peers and devs of the game. Im so happy how everything turned out.
Im surprised that a man who has never seen or known about the original game knocked it out of the park so effectively. That is a the definition of lightning in a Bottle.
I truly hope he is going to to win the game award for best performance.
FF will win
one of the best if not the best actings I ever saw in a game. I wish to see this actor in more movies, what a great talent!
thanks you sir luke roberts
thank you to bring back my childhood i am glad until now still alive and can play SH 2 remake
dont worry for award you still the best for me
thank you
Puh-lease do the charity playthrough with him! Great idea! And great interview, thanks! I want as much extra SH2 content as I can wrap my brain around 😁
The Game Awards just ROB him. Such a spectacular act...
Realized a little after beating Silent Hill 2 that this guy also played Thomas Wayne in The Batman. It was great to see his full range of acting as a central character aside from that small cameo I recognized him from.
definitely check out black sails. he plays an incredible villian in the last few seasons!
I'm fan of Silent Hill since the first one and I can only say Thank so much to Luke Robert for his incredible performance!!
Luke Robert’s performance was OUTSTANDING ❤I’ve played SH2 remake like 5 times already
He was a fantastic villain in Black Sails season 3 and 4, as Woods Rodgers. That keel hauling scene was just brutal.
I could listen to him talk all day long
This performance was amazing.
I watched the whole interview over ny morning coffee because I just couldn't turn it off. Thank you for having Luke, it was very interesting to hear about his perspective. He's so easy to listen to and very jice to look at too!
amazing job Luke .. absolutely sublime. Truly.
He is so cute and so humble - I love him!
I love the remake and how bloober honored it. Luke and the other actors did an amazing job. Much love from Germany (looking forward to Luke's role when he's talking german ☺️) ❤️
James came out of the FOG to have a interview
This man is my new crush! He is so handsome and such a sweet guy
Luke is deserve to win best performance at the TGA
He is such a non-abstract daddy
Kind of surreal to see the face of James Sunderland able to crack a big smile! 😂
Omg sick! The fact they used Bill Pullman in Lost Highway as a reference is amazing and exactly the kind of thing I wanted to know (outside references) love that they referenced Lynch movies
Will add that to the must-watch list for sure
Amazing Dan, I'm so grateful that you make these interviews with such talented people : ) Luke Roberts won my heart with his politeness and he seems to me such a humble and lovely person!

36:30 totally agree, as a father of 2, its really tough but thats the fun part of life, just enjoy it and give them all your time.
I love actors that genuinely care about their roles. There are so many actors that clearly don’t care at all about their role when doing an adaptation of a book, game, etc
The facial capture is second to none, genuinely next level, so, so much nuance
You’re a wonderful interviewer I love that you just let the person Talk and don’t interrupt!! To
Many people get excited and jump
In…
He seemed so excited to do this game and he was just incredible. Everyone did an amazing job.
We need an interview with both Luke Roberts and Guy Cihi together.
Luke is an amazing actor, he deserves more attention
Thank you so much Luke, carried that masterpiece game, legand person of james honorly great
Such an amazing actor and he truly had a lot to do. I really loved the acting in the game. Everyone was phenomenal!
luke is just fantastic, he deserves all awards
This guy deservers the goty award for the performance he did on the remake,English it's not my main language but this it's so good
I would pay an ungodly amount of money to watch him play the game 😂
THIS PLEASE !!! or even sit with someone else while they played if hes not into gaming much himself.
great interview on both sides, thank you both.
Thanks for watching 🫡
Luke did an amazing job as James and I loved the game I know some die hard fans that don’t like the remake and I’m cool with that I’m just glad I finally got back into the world of silent hill again I missed being in it
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, but to each their own
Perfect interview, Dan. Any chance of you interviewing Salome as well? Would be interesting to hear her experience playing Mary and Maria.
Sadly she said she wasn’t interested
@DanAllenGaming 😢 OK. Thanks for trying
Inteligent, handsome, talented men 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks! Don’t forget about Luke as well! 😉
@DanAllenGaming I meant both of you, of course😁
Luke Roberts did an amazing job in this game.
He NAILED playing James, the remake was so beautiful
Beautiful an scary as hell

He really surpassed the old one
Luke did one of the best performances ever 😍🤯🔥... Amazing interview Dan!
He deserves an Oscar
Vote for Luke
Btw you are a good interviewer. Appreciate your patience and letting the man speak for lengths, without interrupting. Sub'd!
Luke did an absolutely phenomenal job as James. Arthur Dayne brought the 🔥
Luke Roberts is underrated! :)

I’d really like to watch Luke Play the game in its entirety!!! Especially for his first time threw
Laura needs a full interview‼️
Outstanding performance, flawless remake 🔥🙌
Great timing with releasing this Dan! I just finished the game a few hours ago! He looks just like James besides the hair!
LUKE ROBERTS THE GOAT
He looks like hes been through a lot, so have we, sir.
Luke was a amazing and such a good man!
It's certainly not a big role of his, but he was a great Thomas Wayne in The Batman
awesome interview! great from both sides, loved to get to know more about the behind the scenes

He's an amazing actor in Black Sails!
A lot of people not giving this game support it deserves one of the scariest games I've ever played
Baaaaased!!! Awesome to see him on the show! What a great performance he gave for such a cornertone of a character in gaming history!
Just beat it for the 3rd time. Wish I could go back and play it for the first time again.
