In the Uncharted Series by Naughty Dog, Steve Valentine voiced a roguishly amazing, morally ambiguous character by the name of Harry Flynn. Presently, the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer beta is getting underway. If you're a fan of the Uncharted series, then you likely know that [SPOILERS] Harry Flynn dies in Uncharted 2. But his legacy does not. He goes on to win a special place in the hearts of many fans, as well as a position in the multiplayer platforms for the series.



While Harry was not the main baddie, his characterization was astounding. His lines, witty remarks, and mere presence brought an unparalleled depth to the supporting characters of Uncharted 2. And his presence in the multiplayer only served to further that influence, making every match that included him a blast. No pun intended.



Uncharted - even just in multiplayer - and Harry Flynn are NOT the same without Steve Valentine. While the writing is obviously there for the character... everything else falls flat. Steve IS Harry Flynn. Just as Steve IS Alistair Theirin from the Dragon Age series. There is no replacement. I don't want to bag on the guy who voiced his lines for the U4 beta, I'm sure he's totally fine in his own right. But he's not Harry.



Naughty Dog, you've implied that this is quite possibly the last game in this series. At least for a long while. You've said that this game is meant to be a closing chapter on a phenomenal journey that has captivated so many people across the world. Please leave us with a beautiful, finished product that includes respect to one of the iconic cast members of your game. Please don't brush us off or think that this doesn't matter.



Harry Flynn and Steve Valentine deserve that. As do we, your faithful fans.



So please... bring back Steve Valentine! Or, at the VERY least, use previously recorded lines that are Steve's work and not someone else.



Thank you <3
