- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- I took all the cutscenes from the Age of Mythology Retold Beta and put over the old classic VA's. This isn't a mod or anything, i just edited it like this.
Hope you enjoy!
Which do you prefer?
I vastly prefer the accents of the new one but vastly prefer the delivery of the old one. The new actors are actually alright but clearly weren’t given any good direction for their lines.
Original. The deliveries are so much better!
Minor non characters like the hplites sound quite good in retold, but the main characters are better in the original
For graphics AOM retold for voice acting AOM original
Original!!!
Graphics - AOMR
Voice Acting - AOM
THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
The animation on the characters are... well.
They're should be a shrug when Odysseus and Arkantos turned to each other after Agamemnon said his plan.
@@adrianjamesdelfin7414 Or at least a subtle head tilt like there was in the original
The Voices of our dreams 😌
Soooo much better! No comparison. They should offer an option for the OG VO in the full game…
I do agree the choice to change it would be fantastic. If not then modders will surely do that very early after release. Seems like these are gonna be the first mods to hit it big.
Nah no option, This what should have been in the first place and no one wants to hear that new voice acting, it's bad
Thank god. I literally felt sick listening to the “new” VAs completely mangle the delivery and attitude of the lines I loved so much. As if speaking in a Greek accent is what mattered. They’re SPEAKING Greek. They don’t need accents.
pretty sure they're speaking english
@@cl8804Lol he means in game Greek
They should have had them all speak their native language and then had a few scenarios where Arkantos has to learn old norse to speak with Brokk and Eitri.
@@franingegnieri1831 pretty sure they aren't speaking greek in-game
@RG32822 Amanra's bio mentioned her being able to speak multiple Egyptian languages, given that she was a mercenary I could see her knowing some Greek as well just in case she ever encountered Greek soldiers.
While it probably wouldn't fit the campaign, a little scene of Amanra teaching Arkantos some Egyptian would be cute to imagine.
Thank you that is exactly what needs to be done. I hope the devs see this.
devs never gonna do that, trust me
@@AmmarFarisA I know. One can only hope.
@@AmmarFarisAlikely not, yeah. Hopefully after a while there’ll be a mod that fulfils this idea.
4:11 Ajax laughs during one of his lines!! even if it's an error it has so much more charm and character knowing the VAs were having fun :D
I appreciate the new VAs and am planning to play through the Retold with them first as it is meant to by the devs, but you bet i will jump in the moment modders will include the original VAs in it. It feels like home again.
They should add an option in the settings to use legacy VA.
Except for the exchange at 0:33 that while cinematic syncs up. I'm quite sure they are still using the old cinematic triggers and that's why dialogues keep cuting each other
I think that might be a bug in the Retold version
Definitely hope that will be fixed, noticed a few cutoffs here and there
I am Greek and I have to say that the new voice lines are unbearably cringe.
They don't get our accent... it sound horrible. The old voice line are by far superior.
Honestly the new VA isn't half bad. If it was a brand new game, it would have been great. But it simply can't beat how much love and nostalgia we all have for the OG
Ty finally an objective opinion
nostalgia is hardly at play. The new VA just isn't capture the character personality.
I mean, Athena was meant to be a god, not some kind of concierge. And she is the least of the VA problem if you compare it to Kamos or Arkantos.
Arkantos VA is disgraceful to be honest, in the original AOM, he sounds stout, shrewd, tenacious. It actually reflect the things he did in the story (inspiring general). In the retold, he is calm, having an accent that is equal to a greek scholar... that is simply break his personality, except if the story is being retold that he is some kind of behind-the-curtain strategist.
Other than that, the dev did a really good job at representing the game, minus the AI god portraits (especially Osiris fingers)
You’re welcome to your opinion. I always appreciate people not being overly negative/finding positives in things.
I was personally surprised at how bad I found the new voice acting, given I had heard the complaints online before playing for myself and figured it was just people whining about change. But I found the new acting to be short on emotion, and some of the direction was just… weird. There were some line reads that sounded to me like somebody was reading the script for the first time.
You would think that, if in doubt, the new VAs would at least try to match the old VA’s in terms of tone and direction, but some lines were delivered completely randomly.
For me, it borders on bad enough to have me wondering whether or not it was just placeholder audio by random crew, and the “real” voice acting will be inserted later.
@@geneparmesan8748 I hope it's just placeholders for the Demo. The Retold voices don't feel like they fit the environment of the game.
This is what Athena should've been. Sounds like calm before the big war, not like passionate about the war itself.
Just hearing Arkantos saying ‘WHAT’ brings back childhood memories
Arkantos himself is such a Goat
Athena's voice was soo mystic...old is gold
It's not just nostalgia, this is just blatantly better than the Retold voice acting. I really hope the devs allow the old voices back
This is my childhood game. I still remember playing it on weekends. It brings back lots of memories.
Since it's beta maybe with enough people talking about it maybe we'll get the original voices
I prefer the OG voices. Love it.
like night and day
Damn can you notice how good was the original VA!!!
Aside from accent (which is not even an accurately Greek one), we all know the delivery is night and day between the OG voice actors and the Retold ones.
i will 100% be installing this as a mod, if they don't include it themselves.
I am sure we will be able to install a mod on the old voice acting from the steam workshop!
Honestly the old one is better imo. Just the emotions and drive speaks for itself. You can easily imagine Ajax and Arkantos being good friends while the new VA just feels flat like reading lines rather than friendly banter
I don't have any real complaints about the new voice acting, but the OG really had something special about it
The terrible voice deliver is one thing, but the attitude these characters give each other is another whole thing like how they just can't wait for others to finish their lines before jumping in, soldiers swiftly walk away before commanders' orders are fully declared. 🤣🤣
Yesss yess please!!!!
Lol. That didn't take long at all. Great job.
Yeas, much better.
I only care about the heroes voice acting, all other side characters can me changes without any gripes from me, like the random soldiers and whatnot.
PERFECTION :3 (i just would make those profiles a little smaller and its done ITS FUCKING DONE! :D i ask no more!!!)
There's a reason that GOOD voice actors are GOOD.
Needing a greek accent was a stupid reason for picking new actors.
Think back to the 1950s and 60s where Hollywood had great actors like Richard Burton and Anthony Quayle, Peter O'Toole and John Gielgud playing Romans and Greeks.
There you go! Mod, please..
Original by a long mile.
I am not too familiar with Greek accents but the New VA sounds like someone who is from Spain to try a Russian accent, though you can hear the spanish, and at some point they are gonna explode into German.
Plus Arkantos sounds far more serious in the OG. Also, that boat on the water, immersion violation, its beyond immersion breaking so I hope some ripple and waves splitting is added to that cutscene. Before anyone say, atleast in OG, the devs atleast try to add onto the illusion.
LOL THOSE TEXTURES
much better
I have no doubt the new VA is AI generated!
Sounds worse than AI tbh. Probably unpaid interns.
Can just check the credits section and see who it is and their IMDb page.
Nah That doesn't sound like an AI, I have seen AI doing better job than this
The new VA is just awful. If I was them, I would IMMEDIATELY redo it before the release.
Much better, no offence to the new cast but the original's aren't easily replaced.
Much better.
Why there is portraits of who speaks?
Better to have original VA
Wow
its better. but i dont know is just nostalgia weighting
The originals just have a ton of attitude, Arkantos sounds tough as nails, definitely not just nostalgoa
Seems many of the voices just have a lot more emotion in the original, which makes it better aswell
There is some delay between lines
Yes! You're right, at some points there is delay between lines. There are also some where i had to delay it myself a bit so it would sync up better with AoM retold!
ADMIRAL!!!!!
Seth Rogan should have voiced Arkantos
I was very disappointed with the new voice acting. The original is SO much better.
what PC you have?
My AoM Retold footage was on a gtx 1060 gpu, ryzen 5 3600 cpu with 32gb's of ram. Upgraded to An RTX 4070 gpu 2 days ago!
is it a new engine or a revamp of the old engine?
I believe it is a revamp of the old engine. It's the same one as AoE 3 uses. So basically a newer version of the old(Original AoM) engine if i understand correctly!
esses retratos gigantes no canto das legendas nas cutscenes são uma merda,nem pros retratos serem animados como no Warcraft III
I prefer the new one, it sounds more 'Greek'
Well the actors are greek after all.
@@SIGNOR-G true? Most people say they don't sound like 'real Greeks'
@@Mikaela_Kohai mmm the accent looks hellenic for Arkantos.
@@SIGNOR-G I don't have the knowledge to argue about it, for me I prefer the new ones for that reason, but I think nostalgia 'blinded' those who love the old and hate the new
@@Mikaela_Kohai oh it wont be a problem for me. The italian versiom will probably keep the old italian dub. Its a win win for me.
