Why is the voice acting in the new Starfox game so fucking bad? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuZ-UVq42sc
sounds alright to me
>A game from 1997 has legitimately better voice acting than any other game in the seriesAre there any other cases of this happening?
>>738590136Nintendo consistently hires the cheapest bargain bin VAs for everything outside of Japan. Japanese VAs are the only ones with any value to them. Nintendo will likely be one of the first companies to replace everything with AI voice work.
>>738590136It's the writing and delivery that's bad. Most of the voice actors in the new one just sound like they're doing a job instead of getting into character.
>>738590260Not that old, but FFX was the first game in the series to do voice acting and it was more sincere and memorable than any VA attempt in FF games since then.
>>738590136Slap a radio filter on it and it'd be better, but as it stands there's nothing wrong with it.
>>738590190>>738590435literal autistic retards who don't understand intonation or toneshut the fuck up and die
>>738590583ah yes, the robotic delivery of "I'll do my best. Andross won't have his way with me" was too perfect to replace.Also what the fuck was that line? Was Andross gonna fuck him in the ass?
>>738590136peppy and slippy noticable downgrade, fox and falco more or less the same
>>738590136>WhyCorporate fucks, that's why
Zero tried too hard to sound cheesy. This sounds way better
>>738590649He was going to fuck the whole Lylat system in the ass
>>738590260All the REs since RE2make.I love the remakes but man only a few VAs really stand out.
>>738590136OH NO SIRWe like doing things our own way
>>738590321Nintendo was so cheap they didn't even want to pay Charles Martinet and the gang to record new wahoos, lalalas and toad grunts, so they replaced them with the cheapest pakijeet and random street hoes they could find, who probably work cheaper than it would cost to have AI generate "oh yeah, Mario time".
I prefer the babbling of the SNES version.
>>738590136Obviously, the bitcrushing in the original is because of the platform, but it adds a je ne sais quoi especially with the characteristic open/close transmission sound effect. They really should have add some kind of filter to keep the tactical-commsy feel.
>>738590136newer have better acting, though I suppose they are soldiers? Having shit acting in older versions sounds more accurate to the lore
>>738591718well, charles martinet's sexual indiscretions might have somwthing to do with that. nintendo kept it under wraps but told him he had to go
>>738592218/v/ will just make up any fucking thing lol
>>738590136needs the filter
>>738590136I have to watch 50 seconds into the video because the 64 cast "looks" bad because it's all curt "I'm fine." level lines but Slippy's character is completely different.64 Slippy is more flustered and panicked which makes sense as the shitter pilot you're constantly having to bail out. Remake Slippy is just "I am the aloof technobabble smart guy. I'm so focused on technology I don't care about getting shot at or saved." which feels kinda ew.
>>738590136>fast-paced action game>let's have all the delivery done by bored zoomersArea 6 is gonna be so lame
>>738590136Videogame voice acting in anything made like after 2015 sucks, I mute the voices in every game I play. The worst part is that the voice are not even funny bad like on the PS2, just unpleasant to hear
>>738590136It was never gonna stack up to 64, but man, I am worried about the script.
>>738590136>Oh wow! Persistent laser tech!
>>738590136>i prefer the low quality mono recordings from Star Fox 64Is this you?Take off your nostalgia goggles already. lol
I think you all are just nostalgiablind, as someone with basically zero context for this franchise, the new lines mostly sound better, with a few exceptions like with Pigma
>>738590136Seems perfectly alright lol
>>738590136Why do they always do that out of breath thing
>>738593461>Its clearly the quality of the recordings people are referring to, no way could they they be talking about the dialogue itself, I am a genius
>>738593554You mean... expressing emotion?
>>738593461Media fidelity isn't the issue here.
>>738593694Being out of breath isn't an emotion.
>"Now entering Corneria City.">"This is horrible...">"Now entering Corneria City">"Woah! Andross really made a mess of this dump!"Why is the dry and realistic remake quipping?
>>738590136Why did they make remake granga sound like such an emasculated faggothttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDipbctxGC4
Victims of the anime fag to voice actor pipeline
>>738590408lol, lmao evenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1WSE26tv1Q
>>738593461>>738593506old one has infinitely more sovl than the new anime dub slop.
Katt isn't gonna be allowed to be flirty and feminine, is she
>>738593980Bit of a forlorn hope given the makeover she got this time round.
>>738593927The laughing scene is cute and good
>>738593980>You tryin' to damage my pretty face?
>>738593802They're mercenaries they see this shit every day
>>738593162This. Fuck modern movie game voice acting and fuck everyone begging for every game to have more Goy Baker focus M ass shit.
>>738593980Assuming that's an actual in-game clip with the music on, they even got rid of her theme song, bro.
I CAN'T STOP IT
It's... Fine?They actually seemed to have maintained the tone of the delivery quite well.
>>738593734People express emotion with their voice.
>>738594926Slippy's personality changed with that delivery after he got saved by Fox.
>>738594993Yeah he sounds too casual. But it is the first 40 seconds of the game.
>>738590136>rewrote the script to be more verbose, so you're not getting short snappy lines that would be appropriate for radio chatter>the audio is too clean again not appropriate for comms >the voice acting itself is terrible no emotion and the voices have no personality they would've been better just having ai do the voices. I don't know how these modern voice actors have careers when they're so terrible at their job. They should've just hired Farscape crew to do the script rewrite and voices
They could have hired the best actors in the world and /v/ would hate it because it wouldn't be a 1:1 copy of the original. Meanwhile, if the original voiceover had come out today in a new game, /v/ would shit on it for being bad.
>>738594926They all sound like queers now
This remake seems like something nintendo fans should hate.>pandering with realistic graphics>selling point is that they made more cutscenes>character design is about realism and high polygon counts, instead of stylizationWhy are people applauding the snoy-ification of starfox?
>>738595246Slippy was famously macho.
>>738595198You do know the VAs have someone directing them on how to act right? You are aware that the vast majority of voice actors just show up and do what they're told, yeah?
>>738595198I you care about emotion you must hate the original audio, because most of it sounds like people reading off a script.
>>738595273"Nintendo fans" defend everything Nintendo does and calls you a Snoy with Nintendo Derangement Syndrome if you point anything out. Also they only buy Pokemon and Mario so all of these games they're working round the clock to defend die and get forgotten in favor of the next flop to defend.
>>738595273It is what it is. I'd rather just have a regular ass sequel to 64, but that's never happening. I'm curious to see all of the new cutscenes. I'm curious to see if we actually get some characterization for Andross.I might not even buy it. Hoho!
>>738595273there's always been a subsection of Nintendo fans that always wanted them to go for more realism/serious shit.
>>738590136Sounds about on par for middling N dub actors l. Why did you pretend English voice acting was ever good?
Slippy sounds way better with the new voice, his original voice is obviously a woman that it's painful.
>>738595364When has this ever happened? No one hates Nintendo more than Nintendo fans. They literally never stop bitching. My entire life it's been "Wind Waker bad, the Wii is bad, touch screens will never catch on, every DK not on the SNES is a piece of shit, What the fuck is Splatoon? Why aren't they making Metroid? Who asked for this Tomodachi Life crap?". Blah blah fucking blah.
>>738595594All true fansCope Windwaker babby
>>738595273Anon are you retarded? Its a remake of a game from 1997 where Nintendo were trying to have the best graphics and be more cinematic than Sony and SEGA.
>>738595273my snoy friend genuinely said this abomination "is looking great" lmao, he liked TLOU 2 btw
>>738595548Slippy sounding like the pussy he is was good
>>738595801The point of remaking games is to fix these mistakes, not double down on them. They should be cutting down the graphics and removing cutscenes. I will never understand snoys and their obsession with games being movies.
>>738595719>Defend a Nintendo game>Nintendo fans show up to tell me I'm wrongPoint made.
>>738590136all VA is bad now. the real talent is all retired. espescially the tough guy characters. i know the old VAs were little fags too but they could at least they could fake it.now its just “Okay soldier, I’m FtM..”
>>738590136is this a game? I thought it was a movie like all the other stuff nintendo is making
>>738590260Entire n64 library has really memorable voice clips for some reason. Good sound effects too. Very cartoon/punchy. Also they tended to make sfx louder than music. Nowadays it's more muted.
>Hey there general, you seem to be a little on-edge. But as it happens, my team is... What do you think of Fox's lines? I don't think I like it. He sounds unnaturally casual about the whole thing. Like forced.
>>738596964It's bad. And not in a corny sense.
>>738596964It doesn't sound like Fox. They've completely mischaracterized him. He's supposed to be serious.
>>738596964>Hey [anon], you seem to be a little on edge. But as it happensUnironically this sounds the way AI speaks. Nobody talks this way.
>>738593927If you think the laughing scene is bad, then you are among the thousands of women and secondaries who missed the entire point.
>>738597197Can't help but think that line sounds shitty enough to be a bait opening for the next SF thread, if they fill in the rest of the sentence with something aggravating. Just putting the idea out there.
>>738596964What was the original line?
>>738590649>Defeat vulpine twink in battle and have him at your mercyWhy wouldn't he?
will Andross still be a floating head???gonna look fucking weird with the realistic artstyle
wait this is actually a 1:1 remake? I thought people were trolling? Is nintendo insane
>>738590260>Are there any other cases of this happening?literally every piece of media. id feel sorry for zoomers for having to grow up consuming slop that has and will consistently degrade over time but then i realize they dont know any better.
>>738598286oh it's just a new briefing custscene, i was about to say it'd be offputting if this was mid flight, but if it's just a check in briefing then whatever
>furries are still seethingNintendo is goated af, I'm buying 3 copies.
>>738598636well nobody bought SF0 while this has already outsold it in preorders alone.
>>738598636They know people will buy it because Star Fox fans are deathly afraid of the series dying.
>>738593927>forced laughing scene sounds like forced laughing>I'm supposed to believe this is actually the worst thing ever because of the handful of retards who actually think spoony was right about anything ever
>>738596367Problem is the union VA cliche has a stranglehold on everything now.
>>738595273>he thinks nu-Nintendo fans have principleslol, lmao
>>738598636According to Koizumi all the stages are identical. Only differences are graphics/audio and some new modes. That'll be $80 plus tip.Then when the game flops the franchise will die again.
>>738590136It's bizarre how every line of dialogue in 64 is iconic and delivered perfectly. I'm not even a nostalgiafag, I only played 64 recently, but they perfectly nailed that game's presentation and narrative, it feels incredibly cinematic for an n64 game. It made me somewhat understand why people keep wanting more out of this series
I'm not trolling when I say that I prefer how the original SNES Star Fox looked/sounded and that game had like 2 polygons per model and ran at 5 FPS.Something about this remake feels unsatisfying, I think it's the sound design.
>>738590136Nintendo's english voice director needs to be fired so badly. The voice acting since BOTW has been fucking awful.
>>738590260off by a year but MGS1 lol
>>738599725Do they really use the same one for all of their games?
>>738600578Of course not. You don't have to give the benefit of the doubt when you see a retarded statement on /v/.But there's clearly a systemic problem with shitty voice acting/direction in their games. Most likely firing one person won't fix this. They aren't getting quality results because they aren't choosing to invest in quality, and these decisions are made at an executive level.
>>738600578Its more likely its Jap execs not knowing what good english VA is supposed to sound like so they keep hiring absolute dogshit. Either that or some VA firm is convincing Nintendo they do amazing squeaky clean and corporately safe voice acting.
>>738600984>>738601128clearly the audience doesn't care so why change anything
>>738601378nintendo is so rich they dont have to change anything. fans care they just put up with it or set the voice audio to Japanese when they can
>>738601758>fans care they just put up with itso they don't care.
>>738600578Don't they run their inhouse localization through Treehouse which is part of Nintendo of America?
>>738602209Where is NoA located, they reek of Commiefornia.
>>738590136It's probably not intentional but the original voices have a pulp quality to them, it sounds like an old cartoon. The new one just sounds like an English dub of an anime
>>738602209this star fox game is leaning towards being european, they reference PAL alot
>>738590260Mario's Nintendo 64 games. Martinet devolved into a barely alive grandpa immediately afterwards, you can hear it as soon as Sunshine.
>>738593461It's supposed to sound like that, it's an effect mimicking military radio comms
>>738602983then why do they sound like that in the ending when talking in person
>>738590408lmao shut the fuck up retard. XII mogs the shit out of X in voice acting
>>738592124Slippy sounds bored when he's getting shot at.
>>738590136It's fine.The previous, N64 voice acting was simply iconic for how good a memorable it was.>"Not to me!!!!!">born 2004Yikes.
>>738590136The dialogue from the original release sounds more like they're conversing with each other while the remake sounds like they're just reading off lines.>Fox: We're entering Corneria City now!>*smoldering buildings and countless dead bodies*>Falco: Andross sure has trashed the place!>Falco(SF64): This is horrible...
>>738604502He got used to it.
>>738590136If you own a switch 2 then you have forfeited your right to complain about the quality of a videogame.
