Everquest 2 Voices

Lacdaran · 03-31-2004, 02:58 PM

I know I should have no hope for this game by now, but I still can't help but be impressed by some of the things I see. This is certainly one of them.

Apparantly all the NPCs in EQ will have voice acting done for them. They already have over 130 hours of dialog recorded.

Meh, the voices sound ok I guess.

But those graphics are still fucking horrible.

Samus Aran · 03-31-2004, 03:30 PM

That's the crappy IGN version. Go here for better versions. (Must have Quicktime or a .mov compatible player).

I take it this is why the game is taking an entire DVD worth of infoz?

God damn content patches are going to suck...

Watch 2 years into the game they are going to change people from saying "effect" to "affect" and its going to be a 1gb patch.

Samus Aran · 03-31-2004, 03:46 PM

That's actually pretty cool imo..

Solmancer · 03-31-2004, 04:09 PM

That was pretty impressive, even if the graphics aren't anything to make me scream out of desire. One hopes they'll overhaul some of them (some of the female models perhaps?!).

Christ, it took long enough. I was wondering when they were gonna add voices to MMO's.

I can't say I'm really impressed tho. Its not like it's a technological feat or anything. I spose its more about bling bling to hire actors than anything.

All in all its still cool tho.

i love it. hopefully more upcoming MMORPGs will start following suit.

To the guy who said that EQ2 would take a DVD worth of data, no. Actually, we are talking TWO DVDs(not kidding). Someone else said they hope other MMORPGs follow suit, WoW already has voice emotes. To top it off, I have no clue how people can think the game will run on the specs they give. I think when they say "mininum requirements" they mean if u turn off all the options, it will run as smooth as playing EQ today with all the options on and running through the bazaar while looking up.

WTF computer can handle 60 EQ2 modles moving, casting, attacking at once in a raid situation?

ganthornx · 03-31-2004, 04:42 PM

how can you say those graphics suck?

Fizbenx · 03-31-2004, 04:48 PM

I personally hate the idea of adding voice into an online game. Grouping with a dumbshit who won't stop spamming "PULL PULL PULL PULL PULL PULL PULL" is bad enough without them having a command that can repeatedly tell me "READY FOR ATTACKS SIR!!!"

I don't want to hear anything someone else has to say basically.

voice emotes are a far cry from NPC dialogue.

The video quality sucked, but the scenery in EQ2 has always been of very high quality. Their problem has been with skin. I'm hoping they are still going to add in imperfections and such to make them look less like plastic.

They've said they're going to work on the textures of the models. Deshine and make them a bit more "imperfect."

maybe like a teamspeack server/channel you auto join once you zone in to a certain zone.....that might work?
