Oh damn 😞

A truly iconic voice performance that will remain in gaming history.

Definitely up there with Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher for me as irreplaceable performances in videogames.

I was so happy he got to return for that Ghost Recon cameo. I was pissed at Ubisoft for a while for replacing him for Blacklist, but then it turned out he couldn’t do it for health reasons and just wanted to keep it hush-hush.

I’m glad he’s doing better now, can’t believe he beat three different cancers.

RIP James. He brought those legendary games to life. One of the best trilogies in gaming.

This hits hard, the Max Payne 1 was my introduction to Film Noir storytelling and I can still remember how I felt when I finished it in that first play thru.

Keep on driving into the night Mr. McCaffery, it’s a late good bye, such a late a good bye.

This one hit hard, he was truly iconic. I haven’t played Max Payne 1 or 2 for decades but I still remember his performance vividly. I wonder what will happen now with both Alan Wake 2 DLCs and the Max Payne remake on the horizon.

Maybe they will have him voiced by the real Max Payne - Mark Wahlburg
