where on the ps4 can i find one friend?

Dolphin, PS2 and Dreamcast emulators are your friend l0l

Kinda weird how everybody assumes that PS is lazy.

When has the voice acting in Soul Calibur ever been *good*? Because let me tell you, the answer is never.

If you're gonna let a fucking hair mesh take away your enjoyment of a game, well - I can't help you because quite frankly, nobody can.

This contract makes known the following: A barbaric knight known as Nightmare, reaps the souls of the living as if they were mere stalks of corn. Survivors speak of a single blow from his Soul Edge felling scores of villagers. Will a Witcher slay this fiend? #SOULCALIBURVI

SCV had very good voice acting. SCIII also, though it varies by character.

 

[DanteSC3]

And then they include a mode in the game where you play The Witcher but with SoulCalibur characters in it. Maybe that's the alternative story.

I'd say, after SC3, there was definitely an increase in the quality of the English voice acting. Sure, it still wasn't the best, but it was a drastic improvement over previous games. And so far, what we've seen of SC6's voice acting doesn't seem too bad honestly.

This type of reveal would be pretty awesome for lizardman / astaroth

Bruh, SCV had fantastic voice acting. Not something I'd have expected honestly. Some of SC6 voice acting is kind of monkaS so far though. At least in the English department. The JP cast is top notch as usual.

I'm not a game developer, and know almost nothing about the process.

However.

I'm pretty sure switching to a whole new engine (UE4) means Project Soul can't simply "copy and paste" from previous titles.

But they literally did. The hairstyle shapes and faces and body parts are exactly the same. Just because the shader is different, doesn't mean it's brand new. Yeah, I'm not a game developer either, but you can compare polygons and know they pulled a cheap move.

I don't tolerate mediocrity. I don't care that you don't care that the voice acting isn't good - they should do better. It's not the hair mesh, it's their philosphy of half-assing their products.

I love Soul Calibur, but I just wish they loved it as much as they love Tekken.

 

[CFW]

How can you say you don't tolerate mediocrity, but then imply that Tekken isn't? Interesting.

 

[Project Bokuho]

For those who are complaining about SC's voice acting, you obviously haven't heard Virtua Fighter or House of The Dead 2's l0l

 

[Fatal_Exodus]

Even if the voice acting can get grating due to the characterizations that some characters undertake (read: Xianghua and Leixia), it becomes noise in the background once you, y'know, actually start playing the game for what it is.

 

[RyujiSakamoto]

Nothing PS do can be as bad as Team Tekken releasing new content for the Arcade version after the console version is released, and leaving that content on the disc unavailable for console players to use without modding.

SC voice acting for the most part is fantastic lol everyone in 5 did an absolutely amazing job. You can't tell me that Patroklos doesn't sound like a realistic legitimate dick. When Leixia beats Natsu, her laugh is one of the most genuine that I've ever heard. 6 sounds a bit wonky so far but I think that's only because they've changed character's staple voices. I'm sure once the game is out the game will sound just as good as 5.

Im pretty sure ALL the character models are new. Just look at the faces. The hair is too. Campare them side by side if need be (with the highest quality resolution u can find). And ever since 2 Ive thought SC had some if THE best voice acting in any fighter.
Cass in SCII particularly but also III, Seigfried and Maxi are also very fun to quote.
(Especially that "Goddamn Freak" line from SCV lol)
Ive honestly NEVER heard anyone bitch about SCs voices.

So far everybody seems to have the same voice except for Mitsubishi and Sophitia.

I can’t think of any fighting game that had voice acting as good as SCVs and I don’t really even care about that stuff. It’s that good.

On a side note and totally unrelated topic: 7 years ago today, SCV was announced ^^
