  • I mean, it's not a good look given what he's trying to become... but isn't he just dressing up as a wrestler whose story has a Soviet background?

    This looks like a costume party and he and his friends are dressing up as wrestlers. It's like someone dressing up as The Iron Sheik.

    There are worse things to go after him.

  • The same voice jobs they do now. I am not taking about those type of jobs. And actors should fight for those. I'm talking about where the future of video games are headed.

    It will be impossible to do with actors. I don't care how many voices they can do. It will be impossible to do with writers too. There will just be too much to write.

    People just can't say... AI = bad. It's a losing battle.

  • I agree. That will also need to happen. It's impossible for writers to write what will be needed in the future of gaming.

    Imagine something like GTA where you are able to enter any building and any room within it and there will be NPCs in most of them. How are you going to write for all of that, never mind act?

  • I'm not talking about what is currently available. I'm talking about the future in gaming. Worlds are growing. You can't have like 5,000 unique actors in a game world... nor dialogue being written for all of them. The amount of dialogue writers would have to come up with is astronomical.

    There will be games where you'll go to full restaurant and walk around various tables where they're will be dialogue that means nothing to the story but adds to the environment. Or just random people walking down the street.

    Then there will be times where a small side character you approach will give you a side mission... those are the ones you'll want live actors for.

    Game companies will lose money if they had to pay everyone for what the future holds.

    Or the alternative would be... They just wouldn't do it. Same amount of jobs are created. Probably fewer jobs as you wouldn't need to test as much.

  • Main voices and significant side characters of the story, I agree. But for some random NPCs that just add to the ambience of the environment, I think A.I can fill those roles. It just would be too cost prohibitive to hire actors for every single character voice. The developers would just not do it or they just repeat the same dialogue over and over again and that gets monotonous.

    I say this as a writer who also used to work in videogames.

  • Why? The smart thing to do would be to cover yourself and get to safety. There could have been another shooter somewhere for all he knew. If this was done by smarter people, he'd be dead when he stood up like that. But adrenaline and his enormous ego got the better of him.
