...according to my Ninja Network, they reached an agreement.

Evidently the actors will get more cash and everyone else will suffer like G did.

At the end they'll get everything they were demanding?

Its actually pretty hillarious, every name I clicked on, they either had no experience, or worked on Shenmue 1 or 2, or both..

Why is it now no surprise that they VA sucked for Baten Kaitos, and had the worst VA since Shenmue 1 and 2*.. hmmm :lol

*There may have been worse, however for games i've played, it certainly matches it, and i've played a ton of RPGs

Hahhaha! Yes!!! One of those people was in Countdown Vampires!!! ROCK.

BTW, those people are all zero-talent living-in-Japan "voice" "actors" and a fine example of why you should always record in the States.

I saw that too, and had to laugh. If you have to leave one game off your resume, that would be a strong contender. With clips like the ones ->here<-, there's embarrassment a-plenty.

Of course, there are also a number of credited links to Winback and the aforementioned Shenmue, so it's a virtual crappy-acting fraternity.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!

5 years since I've played that game and the memories remain.


James: "G's bloodstains..."
Civilian: *to zombie* "Ahhhhhhhh! Don't come! Don't come!
James: "We're .... meeting .... G... over there"
James: *someone dies ... pause * "My god"
Fucked up enemy: "Suffer...... like G did!"
James: "What is it?"
James: "I'm sorry ... there was nothing we could do"
James: "How could anyone do this?"

For the record: the voice actors got more pay, breaks and faster checks and didn't get residuals (duh).

The biggest issue on the table, the demand by the unions that voice actors be paid residuals for video games, was yanked after the unions realized they didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning.
Uh-huh.

Good God, that boss cutscene was about 2 minutes long and yet it felt longer than any cutscene Square's ever assembled.

Residuals are the brass ring for unions lately.

Actors don't get them for TV DVDs, that's why you see so many series out now.

Eventually the unions are going to start buckling down and fighting for them.

But it won't be the video game voice actors that break the seal.

I love this because the student government at my university is called the Alma Matter Society, or AMS.
