AI voice acting is turning people away

[Theed]

I just talked 2 some friends of mine and told them they should try out the game, they said they were intrested at first but the second they found out about AI voice acting they werent intrested.
I even told them the original idea as to why it was done, but they are still iffy.

What do you guys think about the AI voice acting?

Its a multiplayer FPS... who even cares about the voice acting
I even muted the voices so i can hear whats happening around me a bit easier.

Damm! What shîtty friends U have. I mean there's lot of others problems in the game to hate and quit, or not even be interested to play. But complaining about the IA voices ? They are really good*, and can also be disabled.

*I noticed that some lines in season 2 are just too robotic, they don't have the same quality as season 1

I'm the same way. I'm very interested in the game but would rather not encourage the practice in the industry.

"hur dur the AI voices that you can barely tell are AI voices unless you know they are AI are turning people away who have some righteous stance on AI voice acting" good riddance. Game doesn't need more snowflakes.

I think this is on purpose because of the in-lore CNS hack. But you're right, some of the lines they don't sound right, not the way they are saying it, but just the way the voices sound. In Season 1 the only line that bothered me was Scotty saying "and they're off!" but it was like they had to muddle the TTS to get him to pronounce "they're" properly and it sounded off.

yeah its gotta be on purpose. I'm pretty sure all the player characters are AI voiced and they don't sound nearly as robotic as the commentators. Not only that but there is (what sounds like a real human) voice acted announcer that you can faintly hear in the background talking to the audience, who has a wacky way of talking, so if they wanted to have non-robotic voice acted commentators - they probably could and would.

i think AI voice in S1 was way way more cheerful with lighter tone, I feel something changed in S2 makes them a little iffy yes

[fahadew]

you can feel it now people in the community barely mention scotty and june , i personally was enjoying them more in S1, its the tone, maybe ..

[Specter]

I love AI voice acting from Season 1.

[psnjungle]

Love the AI voices. Also a specific example of 2 people, doesn't constitute the word "people" in a general sense. It's simply just 2 ppl you know. Out of thousands. Furthermore, its a dumb reason to quit, you could just simply mute them. They probably just didnt want to play it for other reasons. One of them said "i dont like the ai voices" and the other one latched on to it.

Anyways, none of this matters in the grand scheme of things.

yeah afaik all the player characters are AI, the only thing that was actually recorded by real humans was the breathing sounds and the pain grunts and stuff. I'm not even sure about the spectator announcer though but im pretty sure some of his lines were around in the beta before they even started using scotty and june (alpha announcer voices were absolutely terrible lol)

[LMBits]

Funny thing is they found out because someone (probably you) told them otherwise they wouldn't have noticed it and you are simply spreading the idea against it by creating this post. The AI hate is as stupid as the hate for internet in 2000s. Narrow minded people.

[Be wary of Crab!]

LMAO the AI voice actors are more entertaining/engaging than 90% of real voice actors, If you've played the recent xDefiant playtest you know what i'm talking about

It's only pity luddites who live in a fallacy of their jobs being taken as ♥♥♥♥♥♥ scribblers, art was never meant to be a sustainable method of income, sorry to break it to you.

My point stands above based on this user's PFP alone.

Anyways, i disliked Season 1's generated voices because they horribly slurred some of the lines such as the "limited visibility" one from June. They are slightly refined but they could sound more inhumane, but i don't notice it cause i don't really pay attention to it since there is no aforementioned speech impairment as before.

Just turn off the voices (like I have) and enjoy the game :D lol

lmao dude the voices themselves aren't really that big of a deal, i could just turn them off. i just think its lazy and big companies are already pumping out garbage, so id prefer it didn't get worse
