To all the haters saying that he was against voice actors... You need to rethink what you are saying. He was just saying that the actual programmers the artists the game developers themselves deserve more praise than he is getting.
Ray Castro He was only talking about himself when he said his own performance almost didn't matter. Why do people have to read between the lines when there is nothing to see?
It's very clear in his mannerisms he was referring to the actor's strike and the discussion surrounding it. You can tell in his laugh right before he said "their performance matters more than mine". When he said "mine", he meant all voice actors. That being said, I 100% agree with you. In no way was he "against voice actors".
Can't believe some people are pissed off at what he said regarding performance. I respect the actors going on in that strike of theirs, but to chastise Nolan because he said that the game studio's performance also matters is insane.
Damn. Damn! What a classy thing to say. I can't say I've been in favor of the voice actor guild strike thing, because the demands are a bit unfair. So it's really classy for one of the leading VAs out there to speak so passionately about the performance of the entire team like this. He is correct. The whole team deserves credit, and that includes designers and programmers. Congrats, Nolan. You the man.
XSanosukeXInaraX That's a poorly worded reason. I think what you meant, was that Uncharted didn't win GOTY because Overwatch is a giant overrated piece of shit clone of TF2, and the only award it deserves is from its addiction. Nothing else.
XSanosukeXInaraX Uncharted will make you cry and laugh and feel and everything else. Overwatch doesn't do shit. Uncharted will always ALWAYS be the best
He is in tons of Marvel/DC/Disney/WB shows. He started out in live-action before doing voice-over. He still does live-action on occasion, like he was in (yeah I know) Pretty Little Liars, an older teacher character I think.
Also, it's pretty embarrassing that The Game Awards are supposed to be all prestigious and accurate about games, yet they've used the voice of Chase Austin (who played young Sam Drake in Uncharted 4) instead of Troy Baker's actual voice for his nomination.
Next year, Mads Mikkelsen and Norman Reedus for Death Stranding will be nominated... and Nolan North will still win (even if he didn't have a game in 2017).
Every now and then I come back to this video and rewatch it. Nolan’s words are so inspirational. Plus the fact that Uncharted 4 was one of the first games that made me realize how much difference a great performance (both from the actor and devs) can make in a videogame makes his speech all the more wholesome. Can’t believe it’s already been 6 years though. As Nate himself said: “getting old” 😅
Absolutely love Nolan North, but would have loved to have seen Emily Rose win this award - she stole every scene she was in throughout Uncharted 4. Nolan and Emily are irreplaceable as Nathan and Elena.

Nolan's the Tom Hanks of video games
maroonoasis EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY
and Troy Baker is Al Pacino
maroonoasis
Nolan is better than Tom Hanks, imo. He’s more like the Gary Oldman of video games
Oof he’s way better than hanks
Ricky Bronze
Like I said, more like Gary Oldman. Maybe Marlon Brando.
"Their performance matters more than mine" this is why I love Nolan north
RVGT _ dude has such humility and grace it’s unreal
Humble
What a gentleman. Truer words have never been spoken.
"Take your pictures now, it's the last treasure Drake will ever find" 😭
he's lyin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nolan North should win an Oscar as far as I'm concerned.
at this point i think lots of people agree that oscar can no longer be taken seriously.
MCH Liszt True tho
I love how Troy instatly hugs Nolan.
True friendship.
It has ended now :(
@@gleam6370 why ?
diego alves Troy left RetroReplay because he had a dispute with Nolan
Maria Petrov What was it over?
@@Mr.Monky420 creative differences but troy left so that their friendship could not be affected by it
Nice of him to mention Amy Hennig. She really was the soul and main creative force behind Uncharted. Among Thieves is still the best.
If only a new Soul Reaver written by her would be possible but alas
Monticello19 And the reason why Uncharted 4 turned out garbage. Miss her
Monticello19 yeah among thieves is the best I really don't think there is any debate on that really especially when you consider when it came out
That was my issue with A Thief's End, that soul was gone. It felt more dark and dreary.
Not true at all. 4 is up their with two. Three was pretty bad with plot holes. I respect her, but 3 was not her finest work at all.
Amazing voice actor and person. So much respect for him.
Kaden Poole Nolan North is a peraon? How do you know this?! I thought they were made up!
Loved how Troy Baker congratulated him as soon as North's name was announced.
aren't they best friends? lol i literally see them as like the 2 best friends
They are best friends.
That's a friend right there man. More excited that his bud won it than if he'd won it himself
this aged like milk
@@amarson2322 rip
Nolan North is amazing and very humble he deserved it!
Lots of respect for Nolan North; uncharted has been one of my best gaming experiences and it will hold a special place in my heart ♥.
Same here!
Respect for a guy that doesn't respect his voice actor "co-workers". Sure.
go ask the head of a studio whats harder to find and more valuable, a software dev or a voice actor. the entire tech industry is growing faster than it can hire, but hollywood should get to run the show?

They didn't even use Troy Baker's voice for his nomination wtf
aypierre they did but he didn't win
aypierre he did the voice of young Sam and the old Sam as well! And he did the voice of Joel in The Last of Us! He's the voice of everyone lol #Legend
I'm pretty sure he didn't do the voice of young Sam. If I recall correctly that was Chase Austin. But he is a legend, true.
@@trouts4 I just got here and I am baffled at how retarded these dudes are for thinking that Troy voiced young Sam. Jesus Christ, the incompetence...
@@mehrad1983 no he didn't... It was chase Austin voice of young sam
How can you not love this man? The only guy who's more legendary than the character he's playing
I liked Nolan North for Nathan Drake, but I’m a little sad that Alex Hernandez didn’t win for Lincoln Clay. He is an action legend
Yep, Nolan North. One of the most talented and prolific voice actors in the industry. The guy's got talent and a heart of gold. Well deserved.
Man, what a great guy. He deserved the award for sure.
YES. Nolan North is my HERO!
The VO world needs more people like Nolan North and Troy Baker.
Nathan Drake (Nolan North) we'll never forget you ❤️
The GOAT of voice actors.
Can't believe some people are pissed off at what he said regarding performance. I respect the actors going on in that strike of theirs, but to chastise Nolan because he said that the game studio's performance also matters is insane.
wait, who said that D:
The fact that all 3 of them got nominated is already amazing.
Great speech. Humility goes a long way, in any industry!
I love Nolan, He's such an optimistic guy with an awesome voice! He deserves this.
Lots of respect for Nolan
He was on the brink of crying..Truly an amazing person.

Nolan's probably THE leading voice actor in the gaming industry, no?
Nolan getting all emotional n stuff. He is so great :D
You can’t hate this guy.
So sad man...the last treasure that Drake will ever receive! Why???
ussocomfreak don't worry he'll continue working with them on last of us 2! M sure of it
Hes dying thats why
Sly-Ty Get out of here. Didn't find anything that confirms this claim.
Manas Gangwani I hope so! I will still miss Nathan Drake though.
Cause Uncharted 4 it's the last Uncharted
I am so happy he won!!! But not happy that they lost for game of the year!!!
Leena Jeffrey, people are addicted to overwatch... I think it's good, but that's it, I honestly think it's vastly overrated, just my opinion.

Yeah Uncharted is vastly superior to Overwatch let's be honest.
Nolan should really do hollywood stuff, he is great.
He is in tons of Marvel/DC/Disney/WB shows. He started out in live-action before doing voice-over. He still does live-action on occasion, like he was in (yeah I know) Pretty Little Liars, an older teacher character I think.
He was Peter Hastings in PPL. He was one of the girl's (Spencer's) Dad.
He has been in a movie before. “TMNT (2007)”.
@@G.S.Productions RIGHT! He played Raph!
Walking up those stairs to that music must have been amazing.
Uncharted is and will forever always be my favorite game
The "Troy Baker" in this video is Young Sam Drake's voice. How did they get that wrong?
Simone Williams lol that's what I was thinking
That was also Troy Baker just doing a different voice
@@leojs5673 Young Sam Drake is played by an actor named Chase Austin.

all the voice actors that went on strike hate him so much LOL !!!! Nolan North is the man!!!
1:59 poor guy
That is so sad lol
He threw back his hands but he carried on clapping lol
Nolan is such a great guy, you could tell he probably felt bad for not giving that guy a high five
JP He tried though! The guy just kept on clapping so I don't think he even noticed.
Yeah, I'm sayin he tried, but didn't quite make contact :-/
Amazing voice and performance . Nolan north deserve to win the OSCAR .
Yeah :D
gladiolus gladio did you just agreed with yourself?
The legendary Nolan North... You deserved it! Love Uncharted series because of you.
I was the one who yelled "Yeah!" at the Amy Henning mention.
Damn I almost cryied hahaha
Nolan North and Troy Baker. When you put these 2 together, you get great things. Masterpieces
Probably the best, most humble, speech given at the game awards ever.
thanks for taking Amy's name
Such a great performance. Completed the series today and I'm totally moved by what I experienced from these games.
Well deserved! Ive follwed the games from the beginning! What an adventure its been! Everyone at ND thank you! Congratulations Nolan!
1:59 lol
like that nod to the recent strike situation.
Game Awards was amazing this year! Trully! Such nice moments!
Next year, Mads Mikkelsen and Norman Reedus for Death Stranding will be nominated... and Nolan North will still win (even if he didn't have a game in 2017).
You think Death Stranding is going to be out next year? That's adorable.
You're totally clueless about this stuff if you think Death Stranding is coming anytime before Fall of 2018, let alone 2017.
Most outlandish part of that sentence is that Nolan North wouldn't have a game in 2017. Might not be a big one but that dude works his ass off.
Welp you all were wrong
Stunning speech....absolutely gorgeous. What a humble man
Woah he sounds like nathan drake he should voice him
what an awesome speech!
Deadpoooooolllll.
Captain Deadpool.
Joseph Ocasio Nah. Just Deadpool.
Nathan Drake

Uncharted 4 GOTY
INSTA Plays I know seriously, it's 2013 all over again
An absolute gem of a human being
Nolan North and Troy Baker are my favourite actors, period.
They should really have a "1 game per catagory' rule in future tbh.
nah
Stan Claas if you played uncharted 4 you know they could have nomine just the uncharted cast
This guy sounds like nathan drake
Hmm thats true. I thought it sounded familiar, first i thought it was dr. Richtofen but you're right, he sounds just like drake!
Thank you Nolan
Awesome! He totally deserves it :')
I love that it was Troy that got up first to hug Uncle Nolly 👌🏽
It was an honour to meet this guy
Thank you for shouting out developers.
woohoo congrats Nolan! voice actor for like 99% of gaming characters
My hero!
This broke my heart, man.
I can't wait for the Story DLC!!
Awww! :3 Nolan North is such a great guy!
Absolutely love Nolan North, but would have loved to have seen Emily Rose win this award - she stole every scene she was in throughout Uncharted 4. Nolan and Emily are irreplaceable as Nathan and Elena.
What a dream come true
Uncharted will always be a part of my heart!
Great speech 🙂
He's looking sharp!
