Every so often video games have to hire persons outside the realm of video games, normally for actors or voice artists. These hires don’t always get that video games are still tied into non-disclosure agreements and let details slip. You would think a veteran like Joe Cappelletti would know this though.
Joe Cappelletti has voiced in more games than you can name. He is the go to guy for a ‘white american male’ voice and he has spoken to you more than your own parents probably have. So what did Joe do? Well, he put this on his web-CV:
Hey Joe, where you going with that game in your CV?
If you heard a giant ‘SPPPPFFFFFTTTT!’ noise that would be the marketing executives at Capcom spitting their coffee all over the intern who had the misfortunate job of delivering coffee and bringing the news that someone just announced Resident Evil 6. The poor intern will curse the day they gave them their coffee first.
The words Resident Evil 6 were quickly removed from Joe’s website – faster than Michael Jackson’s doctor leaving the country. Fans and nerds are now left to speculate about the game and Joe is left to slap his fore-head shouting “D’oh!” whilst simultaneously giving away the ending to Halo 5 . Of course; in reality, it’s no surprise that Capcom would be working on Resident Evil 6. Why wouldn’t they be? Its a huge selling franchise. But its nice to have it in writing from a reliable source.
The big news from this however is certainly not Resident Evil 6. Its the game just two lines below…
Aliens vs. Rohnaldinho….wait, what? Day one purchase for me.
