For an unspecified project, Baker spoke about doing performance capture in 2020 from the comfort of his own home. No stranger to the digital stage, Troy Baker has done performance capture for games like The Last of Us, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and Death Stranding. There’s a lot of people who played that game who say that’s their favorite moment.
Sharing his past experience working with game developer Ken Levin on BioShock Infinite and playing guitar for the in-game performance of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” Baker said, “ BioShock was an expensive game … to be able to say, ‘I want to do this really, really big thing, if the player turns left, if the player goes down the stairs, if the player walks through this door, if the player picks up the guitar, and if he plays, then this little moment will happen.’ That’s an expensive thing to do.
