I love the new Artistic Direction, The Character Personality and Voice-Acting So far.

I am quite satisfied right now which is why I am happy that the Game is really shaping very well.

Now All I need is a Good Story after the Intro. Lets see what would we have in upcoming months. Smile


Honestly I've seen your post

Yeah.

>_> In my opinion, either go accent-less or go full-on in a foreign language.

I dunno... maybe I'm jaded by this documentary on China where all the reenactors had these horrendous Chinese accents so it took extra brain power to understand them (...and I'm Chinese... I've heard Chinese people failing miserably at English before...)

Though currently the only rationalization of why I like the Prince's voice at present is that it makes me think of Desmond Miles... :-/

You might check out the history, If you remember. In those days, I was a pretty much regular member here like I am these days. Smile

For the Voice, Even Sands Of Time had british accent. So it doesnt really matter much to have american accent.

@Believe! No sorry man, You got it wrong. I have explained many times the reason why I am quite positive about the New POP Game so far. Better check out my previous posts. To a little hint, Every thing the Team is doing so far is a unique and different experience.

As for your comment that I will like anything with the name Prince Of Persia. Well If this is true, than I won't be one of the biggest complainers at the time of Warrior Within.
Right?

Many fans are jumping to the conlusions by just seeing five minutes of a footage. Don't jump to conclusions so early that the accent is badand blah blah blah. Its too early to comment so negative about the Game.

As far as myself goes, I am currently satisfied with Game so far, And I am not the only one to say this.

PS: Nice sigs kaxen Smile

I think the major problem is American accents just sound wrong.

Not as a whole i mean, the women do sound whiny in most cases (joke) but its just they are not an old accent.

For example fantasy films with american accents, are just terrible. Lord of the rings? All english, sounds more authentic.

Same with prince, yes its not real, but since its an ancient style setting, and he is a persian prince why is he american?

I guess the long and short of it is popular market will love the accent. I wish i was french or something, maybe they get different voice acting... So gutted to speak english... WAit no i dont wish i was french.. I wish ubi were not french!!

Ok i had better stop now before i waffle too much. But really i came here for the first time to start a post saying, why the crap accent... They should give him a silly walk too from the ministry of silly walks...

Better with a holy grail french accent than this... Frown

I don't care for the voices from what little I've heard. They just don't seem to fit. Prince sounds like Nolan North (Drake from Uncharted).

im pretty sure it is.

I know everyone has a right to an opinion blah blah blah, but seriously, after a while...the complaining just....ugh...

Ever since any video with the prince's voice audible came out, I've nonstop seen these complaints on various websites.

it's nauseating Shady

Don't get me wrong, the game looks fun as HELL, but the voices.... the game should be renamed "Prince of Los Angeles"

He had a british accent, but it blended in with the game, the American accents don't fit this game AT ALL.

Also the dialogue was great, the Prince and Farah had great chemistry.

The Prince and Elika in this game don't seem to have any, besides the fact that they both sound like American douchebags, with lame dialogue.

"Don't say it's quiet, don't ever say it's quiet"
"Why do we always have to go TOWARD the bad guys?"

It's just cringeworthy.

By just hearing three to for two Dialouge, Can you make the judgement that the whole Script is a let-down? Strange Believe. Very Strange.

At the time of Warrior Within, People said that Bring Yuri Back Bring Yuri Back by just hearing Two Words of American Accent. But when they played the entire game or started getting more info, They realized that American accent was worthy.

I don't think so its much of issue. The voice is fitting to the Character. We couldn't have Yuri here again. His boyish voice couldn't fit here.


Okay! You may not like the accent but you can't blame to the Script too early.

Why do we always have to go towards the bad guys? Whats so strange in it. He was saying that to Elika.

You can't even judge the chemistry too early. I agree that there was a great chemistry between Prince And Farah.

To judge it for Prince and Elika. We will have to wait.

Once again, the American accent SUITED WW

Here it just STICKS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB.

NO we don't NEED to bring Yuri back, I NEVER said that. Do you honestly think Nathan Drake suits this middle eastern adventurer? The voice doesn't even suit his look.

Why do you have to go towards the bad guys sounds too modern, like what if he said something like "Why must we go towards the enemy," then it suits it more.

What is wrong? Googly
Elika's lines could have just as well be

"Like duh!Because...that's what we have to do!"
and then the prince could say:

'You're right babe!Let's go and save the world"
Too Happy
