E3 2016 thread

Every several months I get nostalgic for big action games and take a look at the new releases, see trailers with their excruciating dialogue, voice acting and "games aren't just for kids, this is serious stuff" emotional drama.

Resident Evil looks pretty different.

Every several months I get nostalgic for big action games and take a look at the new releases, see trailers with their excruciating dialogue, voice acting and "games aren't just for kids, this is serious stuff" emotional drama.

I always get bemused when gamers get really angry that a longstanding voice actor gets replaced, like now a different terrible wooden VA is going to woodenly read the shitty dialogue for your favourite 1-dimensional killbot video game character, oh no

Does that happen that often? The people who did the Metal Gear Solid series is the only game I'm aware of having a cast fans are attached to.
There was the voice recasting in the Silent Hill 2 remaster but that was a shitty thing to do to a classic game. Very different case.

This terrible style of drama in games has been common since the late 90s but now it's in so much more. I'm not even sure the voice actors are at fault most of the time.

The Batman series lost Kevin Conroy for a while, right?

how abt the obv scripted gamer dialogue during multiplayer e3 demos

Not really, he didn't do Arkham Origins but that was separate dev team, he's in all the Rocksteady games.

I thought they lost Mark Hamill because he just quit being the Joker in toto, but that's him in Arkham Knight (and lots since).

is this about that pirate game? they seemed pretty genuine imo. thought that was a v good demo

xp yeah that turned out to be a lie since he's doing the The Killing Joke adaptation as well

Hamill must be a genuinely daunting act to follow. I'm not into many voice actors but his Joker is incredible. Would be funny if the next Joker was more like the really old Batman cartoons.
Maybe Hamill's Joker will be one of these voices that everyone after does their best copy of.

That's basically what Troy Baker did for Arkham Origins, he did a decent job. But yeah, most of them just can't compare.
There was one really bad one I remember, that Rasta Joker from a short-lived animated series about ten years ago.

no i didnt see that but i heard that one featured real ppl not paid extras

Yeah, that scripted dialog in the otherwise cool-looking Ghost Recon game had me rmde hard.

I remember the same shit with the Division's scripted stage demo.

both of those are prime examples

“There are a lot of different spices that you can put in rice,” he said.

the answer, i'm coming to realize, is recognizing that you are needy and it's gonna be hard sledding for everyone so apply for everything.
