Recordable character voices!

[Tyler]

Since recordable voices have been pretty much confirmed, how thorough do you think this feature will be? I'm really looking forward to it- recording voices will enable creators to add a wonderful amount of depth to the characters in their worlds.

From what I've seen, it's very possible to make characters talk during cutscenes. What I'm wondering, though, are a few things:

• Will you be able to make characters talk during gameplay time, instead of just during cutscenes?
• Do the Sackbots get lipsync like the players do with voice chat?
• Will it be possible to have two or more Sackbots talk during a single cutscene?

Of course, this is Media Molecule we're talking about here, so I really doubt any of the above will be impossible :P

I think the first two will almost definitely be included, I'm not entirely sure about the third but it certainly is possible.

I really hope so... being able to have NPCs have conversations between each other would be great.

1. This would be turn to sound effect recording I don't say it can't be there because of that, but MM need to consider it when they decide yes or not allow it.
2. It think it's possbile, same as game process the voice chat sound it can do that with recorded, but how to precise wich sackboy/t will talk?
3. Thats for sure, you can see it in trailer

I'd say yes, yes and yes, although with the third one it may be difficult to hear one particular voice, so unless it's like screaming or they're all saying the same thing, than it wouldn't really work I guess?

That easy to solve record few voices as a one. All depends ho you ant to use 2nd actor, as someone who breaks talk of 1st is not a problem, even if you want to make whispers of many sackpersons it's not a problem to just get your friends to mic and start talking random things quietly.

Really it's just limit of yours and your actors voice acting skills and improvisation.... so better start training
