GS: With video games being one of the younger forms of media out there, was there any initial concern on your part moving from a critically acclaimed TV series to a video game? And, how that move might be seen by traditionalists as a step down?ĪS: To be honest, no, because more and more those lines are blurred. And it's going to utilize those performance aspects throughout the gameplay. Just being a part of this groundbreaking fusion of performances…it's not that actors haven't been involved, but just the incorporation of the physical performance in a game, combined with some of the stylistic elements and the story…I think it's kind of a new genre in a way. Noire when you heard about this game initially?ĪS: I had a conversation with Brendan McNamara about the world of the game, the concept, the character, and he sent me some test footage of the MotionScan technology. GS: What convinced you to get onboard with L.A. I can say the first Max Payne was probably when I became aware of it because, you know, there's the story and everything is integrated. I guess I sort of became aware of the actor's role or presence in a game…probably like in the last five years or so. I played Atari lots of Pitfall and Space Invaders…and then Nintendo.
Noire, what was your concept of an actor's role in video games?Īaron Staton: Well, I started playing video games as a kid. GameSpot: Before you got involved with L.A. We had a chance to chat with Staton over the phone last week to see what his experience with L.A. Playing police officer Cole Phelps, Staton is essentially the poster child for the impressive new MotionScan performance capture technology that's been responsible for the bulk of the game's buzz thus far. Noire, one of our most anticipated games of 2011. Staton is the star of Rockstar and Team Bondi's upcoming crime thriller L.A. But if you're a regular GameSpot reader, you'll likely recognize Staton from something more. If you've ever seen the critically acclaimed AMC drama Mad Men, chances are you'll recognize Aaron Staton from his role as the affable advertising executive Ken Cosgrove.
