We really need more passionate gamers like you guys to keep the dreams of old IPs alive. This gives me hope that more light will be shined upon lots more forgotten games.
Renewing interest in long lost retro games is greatly needed imo. Would love to see this type of project with other games in the PSX library. Thank you for all your hard work! Love me some Bloody Roar!
To whom it may concern: It's worth noting that Bloody Roar 3 (or at least the Xbox and GameCube extensions, Extreme and Primal Fury) used professional voice actors. You know, really big names like Dee Bradley Baker, Michael Bell, Cam Clarke, and Paul Eiding. While I'm sure it would be much easier to replace the voices in the Xbox game, I really wish you wouldn't! Overdubbing a talent like Michael friggin' Bell would be the crime of the century. Now Bloody Roar 4 on the other hand... sure, go nuts. Anything to take the stain of "what have you done with NAGI?!?" out of my head.
Even with Cam Clarke and the others involved, that doesn't mean the dubbing was objectively good in terms of performance and line placement, and recording lines is way different now than it was back then, since references need to be followed from the original source, *like Kira mentioned*. And 4's a colossal mess beyond its dialogue and VAing. It's a rushed, broken BR game. Hence why it was never seriously mentioned.
@@jerimiahsaiah Disagree on Bloody Roar Primal (they used different actors form Bloody Roar 3 on PS2), hard agree on Bloody Roar 4. Forget Nagi... what did they do to the life bar?!
I'd be inclined to agree if the voice direction in PF/EX made them sound anything like pillars of the VO industry, but instead it resulted in muddled performances, voice clips regularly getting cut off due to poor timing, and quite obviously casting a couple similar voices in multiple roles (e.g., Gado apparently refereeing his own fights). It reminds me of how the first Yakuza game's English dub had Mark Hamill, Eliza Dushku and Michael Madsen among the cast, but the direction and choice of tone made the performances awkward and unremarkable to the point Hamill himself forgot he was in it. And because it bugs me every time I see it, PF/EX is not an "extension" of 3. It's a spin-off set between 3 and 4.
@@scxcr But this isn't a dialog heavy game like Yakuza, is it? It's people who are part time animals punching the stuffing out of each other. While this is not the best work of these voice actors (I'll acknowledge that much; I just played it again after a several month hiatus, and while the utterances are charming, they're not Oscar-worthy), it's not a situation where top quality work is critical. I guess you and I are seeing this from different angles. You're deep in the bowels of voice production and want these games to have sterling, Hollywood-caliber vocals. I'm just a player who wants lions, tigers, and several things that aren't bears to slam each other into walls and nearby traffic. (Why no bears, Eighting? You've given us unborns and whatever Spurious-es are, not no bears. Tsk tsk.) I'm satisfied with Bloody Roar Primal Fury/Extreme as it is, and while I don't see an urgent need for changes, I'll always have the vanilla version of the game if you go ahead with a redub. You do you, I guess.
@@jessragan6714 Did the main argument change at some point? This started with "Overdubbing a talent like Michael friggin' Bell would be the crime of the century." Now we're at "it's not a situation where top quality work is critical." Aside from that being Konami's motto on voicework in games for non-Kojima products (like BR4) for years, often to its detriment, if that's true, a re-dub would be even less of an issue, and I'm coming at this from the view of an amateur who's more musician than VA. And yes, there absolutely should be a bear.
Send this to Konami.
