Shohreh's voice is so genuinly unique it made me look for her biography, she's outstanding. And Lee seems so invested in the Bassim's character which is great to see
Shohreh Aghdashloo hyped me up for the story. I hope she will be nominated for best actress at the Game Awards. Also Lee Majdoub: this game is so personal to them and their culture, respect
@@mr.noname5731They/them isn’t just for people who choose those pronouns, they were originally (and still are) used as singular pronouns. I use them to refer to people who aren’t directly involved in a conversation, even if they (pun intended) use he or she or whatever pronouns
@SpinningTurtle66 We don't say "They were doing it" , when the guys sitting right in front of you. It is when a person is unknown or with someone else, seriously.
@@mr.noname5731 There’s nothing wrong with that sentence. The only time it’s incorrect to use they is when you are referring to the person you are talking to, but to a third person it’s perfectly acceptable.
@@TheMykHyn it is iconic because you can instantly tell who’s talking if you hear the voice. People can mock her all they want but now they’ll have her voice burnt into their minds
I feel like Lee took a page out of Roger Craig Smiths book when he was voicing Ezio and did a similar thing with making his voice evolve through age and experience. I love how he mentioned he was a fan and played the games from the beginning because that might be what influenced his ideas to add to the character.
The chemistry is off the charts with this team I'm literally staring at the game clock counting down the minutes tomorrow night we make new memories find happiness enjoyment in fulfillment from a brand new title in our most precious and treasured franchise Assassin's Creed. Sarah the director is really impressive with how she maneuvered this entire project and also how she was able to have a vision before any work was done and then execute it perfectly the passion has me sold alone but then the developer talking about how he worked on the stealth mechanics look like he put a lot of work in time into it and I'm excited
Lee Majdoub reminds me of Roger Craig Smith when he played Ezio, Roger would lower is voice when Ezio got older in AC2 I thought that was really cool it shows the love and connection for the character they play
I loved this game. The setting was awesome, the characters were very cool. Basim is extremely likeable. It was a nice coming of age story of sorts. Was also nice to get a proper AC game, it's been a while.
Awh this is wholesome. Haven't been excited for an AC game in a while, I'm really into the original AC games from AC1, through Ezio to Black Flag. So this is going to be quite the ride.
I love how passionate Shohreh is about this game. I have seen a lot of interviews where big actors play the roles and as much as they try to spruke it they just don't seem overly fussed about the whole thing, ore like its just another paycheck but for her I feel she genuinely connected with her character and is truly proud of her work. It makes playing the game so much more rewarding.
Humility, wisdom, selflessness, benevolence, fearless, strength, self-sacrifice, determination, and virtuousness. That is the symbolism of Shohreh Aghdashloo's voice as Roshan.
What a great interview and a great cast with so much knowledge and adding their personal experiences into the thread of the story of this amazing franchise. I can’t wait to play this game!
Lee Majdoub hyped me up for Assassin's Creed Mirage. I am a huge fan of Sonic and Assassin's Creed so it is the best of both worlds to me. When I saw on Twitter that Lee was going to be Basim, I got super excited. I love him as Agent Stone in the Sonic movies. I knew I am going to love him as Basim. I am not wrong. Lee does an amazing job as Basim. I hope he and Roshan's voice actress gets nominated. They deserve it for their hard work. I am definitely enjoying the game and the characters so far as I stream the game. The voice actors does a beautiful job and the story is very beautiful. I can't wait to continue streaming it and to continue seeing the growth of Basim.
I don't know if Shohreh Aghdashloo will ever read this comment, but the fact that she is on board - in this game, playing a main character and guiding us. That's what sold me. I knew her from The Expanse, and I really hope that she enjoyed her role as a politician, as a diplomat, playing that, because I really enjoyed not only hearing - of course - her unique voice, but also seeing her acting and bringing in her emotions, her body language. Facial expressions, gestures - the whole package. In my humble opinion, she really fit those two roles well. I appreciated all the time I got to see or hear her act.
i immediately recognized Roshan's voice actor. I heard her first in the movie the exorcism of emily rose and i loved her there ever since. her voice is unique and amazing.
Shohreh has such a prominent and recognizable voice but literally when Lee Majdoub was cast, I was like, “Wait, Agent Stone???????” Because I had only seen that man as Agent Stone in the Sonic Films and seeing him become a part of the Assassin’s Creed universe was an interesting experience
Funny enough the very first Assassin's Creed game was supposed to be a Prince of Persia game but became so unique on its own that it became a whole new game: Assassin's Creed 😉
I can't wait to see, and hear Basim again! not "the bad guy", but the brother of Odin, the human being, the father and husband who fought for his son and wife, the tragedy of his character and destiny. After I finished Valhalla and Mirage I wanted so much a later confrontation between Eivor/Odin and Basim in a later life, to reunite themselves after Eivor exile and solve the past.
A big part of what invited me in to wanting to play Mirage was hearing Shohreh's amazing voice for the first time, and realising she was the one in command here, esp. given the game's location. I like to see women who lead in stories yet retain their femininity (Captain Janeway is my fav Star Trek captain for example), and this leads on to my next point. Most AC fans are lovers of history. The latest AC games have been used as historical teaching tools in schools. But women are almost invisible compared to men in the historical record. If they are mentioned they are like footnotes to the men they were supposed to serve and bear heirs for. When they had to be written about because they were ruling queens they were masculinised (take Elizabeth I for example) and made into honourary men. After all, it was men who wrote the chronicles, and in Europe these were mostly priest men, men who sidelined women. It is only in the last hundred years that women have been *allowed* to go up to university and study to become historians. Many of these women historians comb through the archives and glean the stories of women in history, and these are the books they write that I like to get out from my library and read. And now we have (and have had) an AC story that has a charismatic female mentor for our Basim. And a Middle Eastern one to boot. Thank you Ubi for making Mirage, and thank you Shohreh for bringing such a part of yourself into our latest AC hi/story. Bless you all🙏🏽
I need to buy Mirage. I'm playing Valhalla right now and my experience with Roshan is unforgettable. Shoreh you have captured my ears! Also in Valhalla, Basim pisses me off. So I wanna know why he did and does what he does. Know the man and walk his shoes.
Wonderful cast. The game looks good and I hope it does well. We really need AC to go back to being narrative-driven and action oriented as a franchise. The RPG genre just doesn't work with this franchise.
Random thing, but I appreciate you guys adding Hebrew in Mirage! I really hope that one day, you guys can create a Assassins Creed game in Ancient Israel! Maybe you can connect it to Origins somehow!😇
A sim genuinely smashed it. A bit disappointed with the overwhelming number of Iranian actors that couldn’t speak Arabic on set. Baghdad wasn’t like that. If you guys went all out in the Arabic translations bit then might as well invest in actors that use proper Arabic to English pronunciation
Not to be disrespectful, but why didn’t they recast roshan? as it’s a prequel set 20 years before Valhalla. Her voice sounds exactly the same in Valhalla.
