"Real games are brought to life by the power of speech!"

I now know why CBFD is better than Mario 64. It's beause you hear them speak (not just at the end). This make them more real as you can see there lips more when they speak, as if they were real.
This is was needs to happen. The more speech there is, the more real we think the charaiters are. Then we can see there personality, reaction etc. more clearly.
e.g. if i wrote this "get me the heck out of here" it wouldn't mean alot. But when conker says it, it seems more real because he has got (acted) fear in his voice.
This is what is going to happen, so we can get in touch with the charaiters which are on the little box (or rectangle or large! :)

Please write what you think of people doing voices in games to bring them to life.

Thanks

It's worth buying a PS2 just for MGS2....

Damn, I gotta get one. Can anyone lend me £350?

cool!

Yes, David Hayter is the voice talent behind Solid Snake in Sons of Liberty.

Mae Zadler who played Meryl in the original MGS is now playing the voice behind Olga, Patric Lane is doing the voice of Ocelot again, and Christopher Fritz returns as Otacon.

I hope he is, he was excellent!!

Lol!

If it had one flaw, MGS has TOO much speech in it. There were times when you just wanted to get on with it, but all you'd get was yatta yatta yatta. Mei Ling was the main culprit. Of course you could just skip it with the X button, but then you'd miss the intricacies of the plot, and the nuances of the storyline.

But some of it could have been shorter.

Grandia 2 on the DC has the same slight fault, except you can't skip some of it, you have to listen, but at least the voice acting is top notch so you don't mind so much. And the guy who did Liquid Snake's voice in MGS is doing Melphis' voice in Grandia 2.

I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard his voice coming out of my Dreamcast, I thought I'd discovered an MGS Easter Egg on my Grandia 2 disc.

I say it is an advantage and feels as if the game is interacting with you more if the characters speak in it, but it does not make the game that better I can cope with no speech in games.

shenmue without speech is like a duck withour water.

If it weren't for Mario we wouldn't have Conker.....

Not sure...
