Before you vote, watch this very early trailer of GTA III (if you haven't watched it before). You've probably noticed where Claude steals the car, he says "Get out of the car!". In the normal game, he never speaks actually. Before you ask why did I make this poll, I made it because I've heard some players saying it's fake, others - it's real. So I thought why not to make a poll to decide an exact answer.

My vote is 'Don't know'.

I think Rockstar used GTA2 sound banks as a placeholder back then. But it would be pretty good to see Claude talking.

Well, Claude can speak in the normal game too actually but he can say only one word "ugghhh" when he hurts something. If you don't believe me, watch this video. That's what I've noticed in the gameplay, you can be noticed it too.

I know about the "uugghh", but I think it's the same sound that appeared in GTA 2. Also, it should not be proof about him speaking, because even if a man's mute, he's able to "say" that (in case he falls).

I already know it. But Rockstar has already confirmed that they had some trouble at that time to add him a voice, so they made him silent then. They didn't say anything that he's mute.

Here's R*'s say on that video:

QUOTE (Rockstar Games)

This is fake. This is an old bit of gameplay footage, for sure, but we think the voices were added at a later date by someone online as at no point did we plan for Claude to have a voice or even design how a speaking protagonist would be implemented until Vice City.

But you see, we can't trust Rockstar because sometimes they tell us lie.

If you are talking about GTA V then that's a whole other thing. I'm pretty sure they didn't do it on purpose, things happen.

They tend to avoid saying too much at times but I think that answer in regards with the video is legit.
Why would they lie? Also, that voice sample is from GTA 2 and it belongs to an NPC if I'm not mistaken.

Well, have you ever thought why Rockstar never tells us the reason why Darkel was removed from the game?

It was speculated to be due to the 9/11 attacks. His missions were of extreme violence too. It is rumored, that one of his missions was to blow up a bus full of school children.

Anyways, Claude is a mute..no doubt about that or me.

And that video is fake!

Claude isn't a mute and I'm gonna explain it: If Claude's mute, he can't hear nothing too. However, he can hear what other person says using payphone during some missions. During Last Requests, Maria tells Claude that don't ask her why because she doesn't know. It means Claude had a chance to talk.

I hope now you understand.

And also I already told that we can't trust Rockstar because sometimes they tell us lie.

IIRC Claude is called "man of few words" in game, which means he can, but he prefers not to speak. Maria on Chatterbox said that he doesn't talk much, which also proves fact that he can speak. R* simply had other things to do at that time, so they decided to not give him voice over.

Being mute doesn't imply being hearing impaired. You can be born perfectly healthy, learn how to talk and lose ability to speak somewhere in life (during some trauma, accident, illness, etc.)

Uh, I think a person that's mute is able to listen, because they are two categories of these people - mute and deaf-mute. And because he's able to listen to radio and understand the voices, it means there are just two options:

1. He's mute, may lost his vocal cords during his (artifical) life
2. He's autistic.

@gallardo He's neither. Here's a description of Claude made by Rockstar Games as part of their Facebook app:



"Man of few words", "strong silent type" clearly indicate that he is not mute.

Yeah but why during Last Requests, Maria tells Claude that don't ask her why because she doesn't know? It still means Claude isn't a mute.

What's that facebook app? I want to try it. It's obviously not the IV one on some random website, that one sucks.

[PK_LT]

I thought it's Claude who says "Yeah, we got a good view from down here in the gardens. When the 'copter finally got taken out, better than the fireworks on the 4th of July." during The Exchange before Rockstar's confirmation.

QUOTE (Rockstar)

It is a witness in a news report who says that.

Dude, a mute is someone who cannot talk not someone who can't hear.

And in that last request situation. It probably is just humor. We all know that Claude won't ask "Why?"
