Boerseun Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Nary a year since the last Stupid Question was raised. Are we Hypographites gettin' smarter? You betcha. But there still remains mysteries unsolved out in the big void. Like the following: Why, oh why, does the voice acting in computer games suck so badly? Did spending millions on the best programmers in the industry, scripting, programming, beta testing, designing, artwork, porting, marketing etc. really suck the last vestiges of brains out of whoever does voice editing? For instance, I played Call of Duty 5 the other day. So there's this scene, right at the beginning, where all hell breaks loose and you're supposed to be this grunt, freshly captured by the WW2 Japanese. Your buddy gets executed right in front of you, and brains go flying all over. Kudos in the Gross Department. But then a bunch of US Marines come running up and shoot the living snot out of the Japanese. The guy who killed your buddy has his throat slit. Damn gross. Good graphics, though. Your rescuer, the throat-slitter, dumps the throat-slittee on the floor, and comes over to untie you. And he speaks in a very clear, very calm and reasonable voice to you. Keep in mind that this guy just ran with full kit though the jungle for god knows how far, just had a shootout with a bunch of Japanese and got physical on your capturer's ***. And he's not even out of breath. In a perfect world, they should've let that voice actor run around the studio lot until he's broken, sweating like an old dynamite stick, ten inches away from a fatal heart attack, and then let a cherry bomb go off right next to his ear so that his half deaf and his out-of-breath shouting will sound authentic. You can hear adrenaline in somebody's voice. But no - they had some union actor sit comfortably in a plush armchair, and merely voice his line when his turn came up, idly flipping through some random interior design magazine, thinking about redecorating his apartment in lavender. You can hear when somebody wants to redecorate his apartment, especially when you're in a hot warzone. Whazzup with that? pamela 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Or like in the Elder Scrolls IV when you go through a beautifully designed computer world only to listen to the same 5 actors do the voice for the thousands of NPC's...

carlton-temple Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 After considerable thought, the plural for "bum" must be bumkins ! (there's a wooden thing sticking out from the sharp end of sailing boats called a "boomkin" by them what knows).Question : What does our mayor do in Lyon every other weekend ?

The real question is what makes the impossible, impossible? Is it our concept of it or the physical reality, which we miss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
