| Re: Halo Wars=NOT a Bad Game, COMPLETELY Canon | |

In Response To: Re: Halo Wars=NOT a Bad Game, COMPLETELY Canon (Miguel Chavez) : This is more or less one of my observations re: ODST. And I think I may have : touched on it in a previous thread here on the forum. Sadie's Story and : the Firefly cast detract from our attempts to wrap ourselves up in the : story because if the voice acting for some reason doesn't jibe with what : we expect then we're made aware of us playing a game. The best voice acting is done by professional voice actors, who actually CREATE a voice to suit the character, rather than just using their own voices. The Simpsons is probably the best example I can give, since basically six people do the voices for the entire show, yet you'd never know because they are talented voice actors who give the characters life. It's sad too, because the trend in movies for some time now has been to hire a big name to do the voices in order to attract people with their star power. Now it's happening in games. This sucks because these people are actors, not voice actors. Nathan and Tricia were undoubtedly a selling point for ODST, and I'm sure it generated more buzz than if say, E.G. Daily or Billy West or Tress MacNeille or Nancy Cartwright had done the voices. All it is is business trumping art.
