However, thanks to his talent in voice acting, he manages to sound different enough for it to not always be obvious that a character's voice is his. Some of his most successful roles have come from his work with Naughty Dog, which is a PlayStation first-party studio. Most notably, Troy has served as both the voice actor and motion capture actor for Joel in The Last of Us and The Last of Us 2 . This role highlights Troy's ability to display complex emotions through his voice acting, and it also shows off his singing talents. Troy has also lent his voice acting talents to the Uncharted series where he plays Sam Drake, who is Nathan Drake's brother, in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Lega<br><br> <br>He has had multiple roles in the Resident Evil series . This includes Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles , and Resident 6 where he voices Jake Muller, who is the son of Albert Wesker. His voice can also be heard in other Japanese games, including Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel, Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising , White Knight Chronicles , several Final Fantasy games, and Ninja Gaiden 3 where he does voice acting for protagonist Ryu Hayabusa. He voices Ryu once again in Dead or Alive: Dimensions . His voice can also be heard in Tales of Vesperia , where he plays Yuri Low<br>

The game imagines an America reshaped by geological processes, with countless years compressed into the mere decades since the Death Stranding event took place thanks to the influence of Timefall.

In gameplay terms, Timefall can erode the integrity of Sam’s containers, which imperils the cargo within them.
