I really like how the way Kessler taunts you and forces you back into the arena if you try to run is contextualized as more than just a gameplay mechanic. He made the mistake of running and he paid for it: he won't let Cole do the same.
Just yesterday, it was revealed that Sam Mowry the voice of Kessler passed away. In addition to voicing Kessler, he also voiced Arpeggio from Sly 2, Alexander from Amnesia the Dark Descent and Rhaast from DOTA 2. While losing an especially exceptional voice actor like him is tragic, I’m thankful this video is here to preserve the work he made for this game. Thank you.

Yes.... .... like this: 'this (referring to himself as holding back against Cole/his Past self's current level of Conduit power and capability) is Nothing, Cole. What's coming is Far worser (the Conduit 'beast'. John White -/or still(?) Alden Tate.- ).', for example. .... (....I....think? I do not know. I do not remember much right now how 'uncommon' this one is. unless one has some Lore-wise/storytelling level-focused kind of patience, giving a flip, etc in them Most of the time and experience, and not just another fortnite (for example)-like mindset-Only kind of reactor, player out there that speedruns through that one boss encounter of IF01's).
Kessler: I wish there was some other way that Trish didn't have to die. She's such a special woman. But in time of war, crisis, one must learn to ignore their feelings and do what benefits the whole, not the individual. No matter how painful.
@Kat MacGrath It's: "Yeah, well I'm not like you. It took me awhile, but I finally realize that this isn't about me, about what I want, not anymore. It's about keep this city safe. And once you're dead, no one will ever threatened again." But you did good.

@@emildubas6766 Fuck man...I feel like every year we keep losing talented people. May he rest in peace.
Unfortunate news has just struck. The voice of Kessler and Arpeggio from the sly cooper games , Sam A. Mowry , had passed away 4 days ago.
He was such an underrated voice actor. The guy deserved a game award for best-voicing acting.
10:17 That "you have no idea how hard this is for me" hits different. Such a well written character

That line must hit different for first responders.

RIP Sam Mowry
Sounds like there are plenty of alternate unused lines! Very interesting. Lots of foreshadowing of his true identity as well.
Yes....

@Kat MacGrath Oh, I see. I am glad I got in good memory.
Kessler: *Laughing* That remains to seen. Meet at Staton Building.

Nevermind an another game with cole. We need a game with Kessler at it's centre. There are still so many mysteries around him!
5:47, 6:09 I’ll just leave these gems here! Sends chills down my spine…
Glad you enjoyed it!

8:17 idk why I can really relate to this
its real shi
If only coles voice actor voiced Kessler but sounded darker and older
I’ve never heard Kessler yell before
Me either, he seemed so calm and collective until the end of the game.
'I've never heard Kessler yell befo-'.
