I was not. Perhaps I'm showing my age, then. The first two games I played - utterly beloved to me - didn't have voiced audio.

Everything thereafter is a blur that just got worse and worse.

Perhaps I should give this one a miss, then? (I won't)

I would definitely recommend giving MI3 a go if you haven’t played that.

I played the first two games on my Amiga 500 many moons ago and they’ll always be special to me for igniting my love of the genre, but hearing the characters talking for the first time in 3 blew me away :)

He voiced MI3 which is worth playing, and also re-voiced MI 1 and 2 for the re-releases, and did a great job.

Yeah, I could tell it was him, but I hope they haven't really started dialogue recording and this was a one-off.

His performances are usually more... Lively? Swashbuckle-y? Guybrush is out of water but enthusiastic and trying for the pirates drawl, and I just didn't feel that with this trailer. I hope it's just because he wasn't warmed up for the role again.
