Wow, you spend time at a forum devoted to a rather old sci-fi space sim and yet you have some major problems with nerds. Is there a reason behind this?

[[DW]-Hunter]

i don't have a problem with them, but the people with that kind of voice are just not appropriate for voice acting.

[throwaway4]

FWIW, I think the voiceacting in Derelict is great.  I enjoyed the varying inflections and accents.  Alpha 2 is probably my favorite Freespace character (canon or no).

Riiiight, and people who say "dude" every other word are?

Just shut up and stop *****ing about everything. If you don't like the voice acting, play Derelict without it, stop yelling at us because we're not professionals.

[[DW]-Hunter]

I was stating my opinion on the voice acting of derelict, thats what this thread is about Cobra.

[MP-Ryan]

Frankly, I thought the majority of the writing and voice-acting in Derelict was extremely well done.  A few of the missions weren't as good as the others, but for the most part it was an impressive effort.

[Mongoose]

Hunter, the bottom line is that the people who voice-act in this community do so because they're willing to take the time and effort to sit there and record dozens of lines.  None of us claim to be professionals, or even particularly good at it.  We just say the lines to the best of our voices' abilities and hope that people like the results.  As with most things of this nature, if you're going to criticize the work of other people, you'd better be willing to put your money where your mouth is and submit your own efforts for potential criticism.

[karajorma]

Bottom line is that if you don't like the voice acting you can simply delete the voice VP files and play without.

I think you're right...

but

We can't exactly consider the whole world when we're reading a bunch of script lines into a desktop microphone, can we?

Besides, the people who worked on the main campaigns were professional voice actors using professional equipment; their voices would naturally be clearer and more distinct than any of ours.

You don't need to have professional equipment if you just want your words to be compehensible.

While I do wish some of the people doing the voice acting could have heard the original Derelict voice packs for better context (If only for Alpha 2 ), I thought it was pretty good - And definitely a helluva lot better than just reading the text

Must admit, the WCSaga guys really upped the bar 'tho 

[Cobra]

The only problem with Ransom Arceihn's voice acting was that he muttered his words, almost like a whisper. Though, considering how his character witnessed atrocities (such as the Capellan supernova), who wouldn't act like that?

[Blaise Russel]

I already have 8 people who have VERY good voices who are going to voice act in my campaign

that's great call me when it gets doen

I dunno, I quite liked Ransom's interpretation of Alpha 2 -  a lot darker and more cynical than the chipper hyuk-hyuk-hyuk old Alpha 2. But that's just my personal preference.

[perihelion]

Just to add my noise to the fray, I was extremely impressed by the quality of the voice acting and sound editing in SCP Derelict.  I had no difficulty understanding anyone.

Constructive criticism is one thing, but I'm rather appalled at the lack of respect shown here.  These guys worked their butts off, and had Derelict been a retail game, I'd have purchased it and felt I'd gotten my money's worth.

Mackie was originally... chipper??

 

I agree with Blaise, Mackie as he is in the remake is better.

Yeah, Agatheron and Kellan released demo missions and also some voice files to go with them. Alpha 2 was kind of cheery with whoever was voicing him.

[Goober5000]

I uploaded the derelict voices a while ago for somebody... can't remember who.  But if you want to listen to them, here they are.

[KappaWing]

Alright i found an old topic on this but all the Derelict stuff seems to be being updated and modified as i type. Right now I have nothing. I would like the latest version of Derelict base files and all of the voice files. Where do I go to find the latest versions of this stuff?

Also i heard i need lightspeeds nebula or backrounds or something like that. However, I have the latest media VPs, are those included in those? 

[Mobius]

No,they're not included in the Media VPs package. DL them from HC.

Are you going to use the raw voices, replacing the ones modified by BR?

[KappaWing]

I'll take the BR Modified voices, as long as theyre still understandable.
