Ice-T reveals he'll appear in Gears of War 3 photo

I had a feeling Gears of War 3 was going to be good, but now I know it's going to be awesome!

Actor/rapper Ice-T has revealed that he'll be playing a role in Epic's upcoming third-person shooter. The role was casually mentioned during a live Ustream broadcast; he quickly added "I didn't just say that." After actually saying it, of course.

While this has yet to be confirmed by Epic or Microsoft, as Giant Bomb's Jeff Gerstmann points out, Ice-T doesn't have to lie -- his life is ridiculous enough as it is.

I wonder if these game developers/producers actually hand out a substantial amount to celebrities to get their voice in the game. I've never once considered buying a game because a celebrity did voice work, nor has anyone I've ever known even mentioned such a thing.

I guess there's more enemies in Gears 3, because there's definitely more Body Count.

Gears Of War 3 has a Special Victims Unit? I guess that makes sense; whenever I've played on LIVE, and if I lose, I've often been told I was "raped hard LOL." Help me Fin!

Ice-T is awesome. I've been a fan ever since Body Count. Also, he's a huge gamer. When he did a 10-question Q&A he answered my gaming-related question:

zOMG he IS a gamer! 8)

Ryan Panagos from Marvel tweeted a link to an article I had written about Codemaster's Bodycount in which I complained it didn't feature Ice-T's rock group, Body Count. My day was made when Ice-T himself re-tweeted said link. Basically, the best thing EVER.

He's gonna be Jace. It's the only thing he can be as it's the only new character they are adding.

Ice T will be a nice partner for Cole Train to play off of. Much banter will follow.

I'd love to see Epic take a page out of DICE's book, and give the characters more lines in bizarre dialogue throughout the game, like Bad Company, which made the characters feel real, and the player appreciate their company alongside.

Ice-T? I don't like anyone who chooses to have a name like that. It's seems that this is just another way to paint "Gears of War" as "cool". I think they should spend less time making the characters look like bags of steroids, making chainsaw guns, and hiring "hip" rappers to do voice overs. The whole theme of the game has put me off from buying it, so I could be wrong. That's how they market it, though.

I think you're missing the point of gears. What you listed is everything that makes gears great IMO. It's like a big dumb action movie, you don't watch them to have a
meaningful experience, you do it because it's rad-ass.

"Ice-T? I don't like anyone who chooses to have a name like that."

Ummmmm. There's this thing called hip-hop. Ice-T has been a key part of that thing for almost its entire existence. I think he's earned the right to call himself Ice-T. I don't think that it's anything to do with trying to make Gears cool. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that he actually approached them himself about doing VA for it. This game seems right up his street, or should I say, Hood.

When such public figure comes out to light from behind the celebrity curtain, we can only imagine the numbers they are talking about, the dimension of success and the fan huge ratings. I can tell, there is something you don`t quite see every day. Gears of War 3 is going to be a breakthrough.
