>Darktide
>Devs release this video of the voice actors in the recording booth
>The VAs aren't just talking in the mix, they're doing facial movements and body movements as well
Are these people theater actors? What reason is there to do all these movements in that tiny ass room?
https://youtu.be/gIX1qct8_dU?si=kUGmibu7TPP_VLv2
I was even watching someone do work for audiobooks for 40k and he does the EXACT same thing.

I would be shocked to meet a VA that wasn't a theater kid

>>738568393
lots do, if you've ever watched any interview ever you'll notice they move their bodies, some people will even have props in the sound room with them
>>
>>738568393
Idk anon, preference probably, for example Mark Portnoy from Dreamtheater constantly smacks his neck after every song on stage , just excercises to get in tune with whatever they are doing

It's voiceACTing, anon. There's a component of theater arts, even if you're not being readily observed.
One quality I would ascribe to Fatshark is that they do give a shit about it. Both in Vertmintide and Darktide. While most other bigger companies are looking to save a buck with AI.
>>
>>738568568
Oh really? Explain voice acting for anime then, if they did what was in the video, I'd 100% see English dubs improve tenfold.
>>
>>738568959
No one gives two shits about anime, so the job of dubbing it historically goes to greasy and talentless fucks
>>
>>738568959
Japanese VA do act like their anime counterparts though, for example when Pop Team Epic Season 1 was being recorded they would showm the booth dynamics and they would all do retarded quirky shit on par with whoever they were voicing and laugh about it too after. If otjer dubs did it yes I agree it would be 100% better.

>don't pay voice actors what they deserve
>>
>>738568143
Britain has a long and respected history of stage acting, which feeds directly into every other form of performance acting. Movies, TV, radio, audiobooks, game voice-overs, they're all one and the same as far as they're concerned. Patrick Stewart got his start in Shakespeare and genuinely loves it, and he brought that same level of gravitas and professionalism to roles as far apart as Star Trek, X-Men, and fucking TES: Oblivion.
I genuinely believe that the British voice acting community is the greatest in the English-speaking world for both their peculiar structure and their access to a wide range of accents for every purpose and role.

Well they probably feel like it helps them deliver a better performance.

the voice acting in this game is really good. i dont see what's the problem. compare this to KF3's voice acting.
>>
>>738568143
The very BEST voice actors are in fact, actors first. Not your local tranny barista, but actual people who know what it takes to act out a character.
You can level plenty of criticism at fatshart but character VA is not one of them, they are consistently good to great
>>
>>738571548
>Not your local tranny barista
What were the devs thinking with Dawntrail?
>>
>>738571878
That's why they removed every mention of it and didn't invite for the squarefest AND made Evercold for the Switch 2.
>>
>>738568143
>The VAs aren't just talking in the mix, they're doing facial movements and body movements as well
That's like standard procedure for anyone trying to immerse themselves in the role
Have you only ever seen footage of shitty anime dub actors in the booth?
>>
>>738568143
they are theater actors. Thats why they completely mog talentless "voice actors"

why do they hate the Zealot so much? i really hope we get some actual buffs or tree reworks before the actual update drops, cuz this is actually insulting.
>>
>>738572825
psyker "buff" is actually done out of compensation because uncanny rending transfered to your flame staff's DoT.
Keep in mind zealot's fire operates the SAME way so him not getting a flamer buff to compensate is bullshit. My assumption is they see Zealot as the Kerillian of this game and cant let them be top tier again.

Is it just me or has playing zealot become more of a pain in the ass? Their dps is bad compared to other classes, survivability is mediocre unless you take martyrdom, AoE is trash unless you take specific builds, their blitz are all middling when other classes have nukes. All these problems became more conspicuous when the new event starts throwing tons of carapace enemies at you.
>>
>>738574150
Zealots and arbitrators are pretty chill talking to each other.
>>
>>738575736
I feel like a week ago I was popping heads and slicing no problem and recently it feels like my relic sword is a wet noodle and the aim bloom is worse
>>
>>738575736
give up and start running full support instead. you will never have DPS. what you have is a lot of damage resistance, toughness regen and damage for your team. you're playing a support class. it is what it is. if you want dps, then play HS.

>survivability is mediocre unless you take martyrdom
wrong. the zealot has tons of damage resist key stones, stop ignoring them.
>>
>>738575736
Hive scum has entirely overshadows zealot. There is zero point in taking zealot as long as rampage scum exists.

for melee anything that gives crits or the combat blade works. for your secondary, you're stuck with the flamer, cuz the flamer is literally just a free immolation nade and the blades of faith will take care of anything that's out of reach.

>>738568393
They all do, even hentai VA to some small extend.

>>738576470
Thanks for the build. Will test it out.

Actors are all like this. There is a reason Actors were seen worse than whores in a lot of Ancient Cultures.
It's only recently that (((people))) have convinced people to treat these subhumans better. Because they can pay these "whores" to spread their subhuman messages.
>>
Anon, your voice changes based on how you move your body. Try doing something like a rousong speech while being hunched over. That won't nearly work as well as doing it with your head proudly looking onward.
>>
what's your favorite darktide ost ?
For me it's Light of the Imperium (in game version)

>>738575736
just go stealth and use blades of faith on the elite enemies.

Am I wrong for thinking darktide and vermintide 2, mechanically are the best pve games ever made?
Everything about the moment to moment gameplay is perfect and orgasmic I've never played anything like it, maybe its just me though.

I feel like vermintide 2 has plenty of content.
Idk I only have 200 hours on darktide and still have a craving to play it I only have 2 classes to 30 and theres plenty more classes and builds to explore. When you make gameplay a priority players will get 10x more time out of a game. But ye fatshart has been lazy with darktide and its starving for new maps
>>
>>738581423
the twins ambush theme and their boss fight theme are peak darktide. i dont think the ambush theme plays anymore ever since the event ended, at least i think so, i dont know if it plays in havoc, im not paying attention to the music in havoc, so i cant say. the boss theme it's so good, i wish it was used more often outside their fight.

>>
I feel like with hiv cum released zealot has lost it's purpose and currently they don't even know what to do with it
>>
>>738582738
they should just double down on the support aspect of it and call it a day. otherwise there'd be no reason to play HS anyway. HS was literally made because they wanted to double down on his combat blade gameplay.
>>
>>738582825
support literally doesn't exist outside of havocs
>>
>>738582663
you know you can literally one shot them if you hit them with blades of faith in the back while in stealth, literally one shot maulers and ragers
> While the HS is killing elites by the dozen...
why arent you using spearhead boltgun blow hordes away?
>>
>>738582738
>and currently they don't even know what to do with it
sums up the game as a whole desu
Fatshark always does this. Put out the game's framework and then fix it.
Only this time they ain't fixing shit and everything they add is just garbage
>>
>>738582849
outside of auric and havoc, there's no reason to do anything, bro. the game is dumb easy unless you play auric or havoc.
>not worth playing support on auric either
wrong. you need to hop on the ones that have a huge amount of modifiers on them.
>>
>>738583040
that's just maelstroms which might now be aviable at the time
literally every other auric that's not walls of crushers special event you are better off killing stuff than being chorus sissy
>>
>>738583113
i mean, yea. when i say auric, i mean Maelstroms. i never touch anything else besides havoc and maelstroms.
>you are better off killing stuff than being chorus sissy
then at that point you're better off playing HS/Psyker/Arbites. running Zealot for "dps" is just asking to get laughed at. lol.
>shroudfield
literally for lowering your threat level and/or reviving your allies
>b-but my 1 shot TH gimmick
the boss is already dead from the HS and Psyker before you could even land one hit. lol.
>chorus
keeps the whole team alive and staggers everyone on the screen. no reason not to take it.
>fury
terrible and useless. literally just a worse shroudfield.

Zealot is.... a support class.
>>
>>738568143
That's just how some people get into the role. The same was done with Mark Hamill when he was doing Joker for BTAS.

Sure some people can just sit in a booth and do the thing; but some people have to move to get into it.
