Available now on PC, RISING STORM 2: VIETNAM is the sequel to Rising Storm, PC Gamer magazine’s 2013 ‘Multiplayer Game of the Year’, published by Tripwire Interactive and developed by Antimatter Games. Command your team to victory in massive 64-player battles with authentic weapons, aircraft, and maps that pit conventional military forces against guerrilla forces.
One of the voice actors for the new ARVN forces, featured in the new ARVN Content Update for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, is Joseph Tran. During the recording sessions for the game he asked his father to come along to act as an adviser and mentor for the role. Turns out his father is Thanh Tran, also known as "Joe." During the war Joe was awarded the Bronze Star, while a Staff Sergeant in the ARVN, for saving a another soldier's life under fire, while operating with US forces in September 1968.
We couldn't resist the opportunity to ask him to talk a little about his experiences and about his thoughts on the voice acting his son was doing. As you'll see Joe was really happy his son gets to play the "good guys" for once!
