Boy I hate it :D
Lovely that the already hella affordable voice actors are getting tossed aside in favor of poor quality. They can talk about how good it sounds all at once, but if they were asked, it’s clearly not good enough
I don’t think this is a game that’s going to live or die by the quality of its voice acting, though. The announcers are more or less just there to deliver status updates on the match, which they do. It’s not high quality, but it might be enough in this instance.
I believe you, and that’s the sad thing to me. We’ll let a AAA developer take shitty cost-cutting measures to help keep workers from getting what they deserve, and they’ll get away with it. We’ll get used to shitty AI voices. In the future, some would even look at these low quality voices as though they have a charm to them, like a quirky fondness for 90s Sailor Moon dubs. These are the baby steps, and in the future, if they can get away with it, entire games will be voiced by AI, even written by AI
Videogames are art, and AI can’t create art; AI is artistic inbreeding
