Title: Now for a word, make that voice...
Post by: Vidmaster on August 14, 2007, 05:19:11 am
Finally, I would really like to know, which FS (or TC) campaigns are fully voice-acted, no matter how bad they are or how bad the quality is.
I know of the following:

- FS1 and FS2 of course, along with that stupid Silent Thread
- Derelict
- Destiny of Peace
- Awakenings
- Raider Wars
- Wing Commander Saga
- Beyond the red line demo (frakking brilliant, these random dialogs  :nod: :nod: :nod: )
- Earth-Minbari War demo (more or less)

are there more ? (of course every campaign deserves voice acting)

BtRL has retail game quality voice acting. I love it how BtRL feels just like a professionally made game, wait, it is professionally made. Kudos to the BtRL team.

BtRl has better voice acting than parts of FS2.

I agree with that, but it doesn't answer my question.

I enjoy the game but the netcode in the FS engine is still kinda shakey.

Joshua did some voice acting for JAD1 by contracting out to Microsoft Text to Speech Staff. :p I liked it since it sounds like the worst possible voice acting ever. I don't think he did JAD2 though and JAD3 just has "voice acting" (similar to how it was done in JAD1) for the cutscenes.

thats a positive... and now you remind me that I still have to digitally voice-act Deus Ex Machina (why didn't that show up in JAD3?), JAD2, and JAD 3.

Oh and by the way, I did not only use the Microsoft staff, I also used a lot of text-to-speech voices from other companies. I believe everyone in JAD1 has a different voice.

I first wanted to use volunteers for the voice-acting, but they all escaped...

Actually, the LH Michael voice for JAD1, 2, 3 felt really fitting. After playing a few missions, you get used to the voice and it even sounds humorous.

I usually use MS Mike, and thats also the voice I used for Alpha 1 (I think it fits the role better then Microsoft Sam)

What I also could do is just to leave the Alpha 1 voices out and let the voice setting of the user decide...
