Text to Speech exists people

[HazardRiderBuild]

To everyone who thinks the voices are AI: they aren’t, it’s the same text to speech the original Japanese Vita version had. Text to speech has been around for decades and is different from AI. Stop giving the game bad reviews over something you clearly don’t understand.

k keep me posted

fr lol.... I hate AI as much as the next guy but this witch hunt is crazy. People are being really stupid about this.

The only thing I genuinely hate is that, even if you change the voices to JP, the TTS ones are still kept in English....

The bad reviews for the text to speech I feel are warranted, because it is absolutely terrible. It isn't AI, and I get that in the original Japanese version they had it but the English one didn't. I would take literal silence and just reading over the tts.

Yeah this was a feature in the original japanese release that was deleted from the localized version, I'm actually happy we have this now, I just hope we don't lose the option because of the backlash.

people saying it's ai voices are not very educated, yes, but this IS some pretty garbage text to speech because it often mispronounces words

That's because there wasn't an English one. The original Vita release only had Japanese voiceovers. Please make sure you know what you're complaining about before you whine next time.

It’s fine if you don’t like it, just get the info right if you are going to complain about it, saying it’s AI in a review is misinformation and just leading to people hating on something that doesn’t exist.

Today's gamers are too young to remember Microsoft Sam's rampant usage, and it shows.

...did ya miss the bit where I specifically addressed the whole, it was in the japanese version and not the english one bit? I know exactly what I am complaining about, the english TTS is just too jarring, at least for me. I cannot listen to it just mispronounce every third word. I would be fine with it if it let me switch *that* voice to japanese. I know why it is there, and I can appreciate that it does fit the game, it just isn't good.

You can do this:

You can rename eng-gb.eaf or eng-us.eaf file to jpn.eaf (for me it was eng-us.eaf).
Then if you set the game to Japanese using the Steam library game properties when you run the game you will get the JP voices but with English UI.

It should be a menu option but at least it will help you change it for now

How is that addressing it when the English one used the Japanese voiceovers? That means the game had it back in the English one because the English one used the same voiceovers as the Japanese version.

think I worded that poorly sorry, I had meant that it wasn't in english in the english one. I know the voiceovers are the same in both versions. I would take that over what is currently in the game. Having no english voiceover at all beats the heck out of forced english tts.

Ah ok, that makes sense. While I disagree with your opinion I totally see where you're coming from now.
