Pop Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Question #1: Is Alexander Brandon attached to this game as well as Aliens? Yes? No? Question #2: Who do you think they'll get for voicework? It seems pretty obvious that they're going for ME-style fully VOd dialogue. Is it impractical to record more than one voice? Question #3: How come Alpha Protocol gets its own board makeover, and Aliens doesn't? Did Josh win too many office poker games? Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Deraldin Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Question #3: How come Alpha Protocol gets its own board makeover, and Aliens doesn't? Did Josh win too many office poker games? And why doesn't the new section set the forum width according to the users desktop resolution? The main forum takes up the whole window but the AP section only uses about 60% of the screen real estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm getting the impression that this game is already further along in development than the Aliens game. Have we even seen screenshots from the other game? The magazine article means we are getting screenshots of AP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Question #1: Is Alexander Brandon attached to this game as well as Aliens? Yes? No? I definately hope so. Look what he did to Deus Ex.

mkreku Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 He did the sound design in Deus Ex?? I am still humming that damn main tune! And I loved the voice actors in that game! Suited the digital actors so well.. But gun sounds could have had a little more oomph to them though Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Pop Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 So now that there have apparently been presentations of the game, can we assume that VA has been recorded? Or is Obsidz using placeholders at this time? Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirPetrakus Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 So now that there have apparently been presentations of the game, can we assume that VA has been recorded? Or is Obsidz using placeholders at this time? I am wondering if/ hoping there will be a big name doing the voice overs. Fallout 1 had Tony Shalhoub AND Ron Perlman, wonder if anyone famous will pop up. Maybe David Hayter is Mike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Don't forget Macgyver. We can probably expect some veteran VAs for various characters, maybe Perlman, maybe Jennifer Hale, maybe Brian Cox, maybe even Luke Skywalker (don't know about his ouevre outside of Lucasarts games). I imagine they'll get a relative unknown to voice Thorton to cut down on costs (I think the male Shepard in ME was some Canadian comedian) Someone expressive, who can cover livewire, suave and curt personalities effectively. A-listers don't usually appear in games, even in tie-ins. Obsidz likely doesn't have the clout to snag a Neeson or a Stewart, even for a few lines.

themadhatter114 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Obsidian needs to give Malcolm McDowell more work if he's done doing voice work for Bethesda. I cry inside thinking of how crappy his career has been relative to how awesome A Clockwork Orange, particularly every single thing about his performance, is.

Pop Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Well, he's a character actor, like Perlman. He just works. It doesn't matter what the project is. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moatilliatta Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I imagine they'll get a relative unknown to voice Thorton to cut down on costs (I think the male Shepard in ME was some Canadian comedian)... And that guy sounded horrible. I imagine this would be the place that Obsidian wouldn't want to cut corners as we will be listening to Thorton a lot and he will be all we have for a character, so his voice will be pretty important. I have faith that Obsidian will picks someone who can do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 The advantage of getting less expensive actors might be that they can hire him for more hours, and actually get him to understand the script, the story and the setting properly - I think most of the bad or 'off' VA comes from the fact that they can only afford to hire the guy for an hour inside a studio, and he just gets thrust into the rec room with a piece of paper and they tell him, 'read'. I mean, Patrick Stewart...

Moatilliatta Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) Your point is kinda killed since Patrick Steward isn't the only guy with bad voice acting out there, in fact quite a lot of the bad voice actors are inexperienced people who, I would guess, doesn't get paid a lot. The obvious fallacy in regards to Steward ought to be that famous people doesn't equal good voice acting and that it would probably be better to get professionals who live of off being good and talented voice actors. Edit: The whole John Cleese sthick in Jade Empire didn't really work either. Edited July 29, 2008 by Moatilliatta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 I thought John Cleese worked pretty well. The character was schtick to begin with. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Right, so the character was too over the top to fit into the story, it turned the game into a comedy and undermined it. The performance itself was fine though, usual John Cleese cheese. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Meshugger Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Cleese would do wonders if he did the VO for the head if the MI6.
