Honestly, @manveerheir is probably my greatest inspiration in this industry. His GDC presence is yet another exclamation mark to that effect

@ForgedPixels aw shucks that's a very sweet thing to say. I love working with you too.

When there is news to share, it will be Tweeted, Twisted, Tweaked, Told, Throated, and Tubed to all the masses.

Voices... Game... I work on... Currently? Shepard confirmed for MENext! :-P

[MrDbow]

I will confirm if I meet Jennifer Hale on Sunday. Hopefully with pictures!

[MrDbow]

I love all the tittle changes for this thread! You're awesome MrDbow!

 

 

I don't know which admin pinned the thread, but I'll make sure to send many thanks to whomever it was tomorrow when I find out. =) 

 

And I admit, this thread title change made me laugh out loud just now.   

 

[Terca]

Hale does voices in a ton of things and has appeared in several videogames. It would not be surprising to see her voicing a role in the game that's not Shepard.

[JeffZero]

Any news? Any? Please!

It hasn't even been announced yet and might not be announced for a long while yet. So of course no one can tell you when we're getting news on an unannounced game.

[JeffZero]

Yet true nevertheless.

I was with it until Manveerheir mentioned GTA. GTA may have things in it that might make people squirm but it's a hyper parody of current society. I'm all for breaking stereo types but why is GTA always brought out as the whipping boy when it comes to explaining everything wrong with gamers or games?

 

I'm with you there mate. As you say, GTA is a parody. It's intended to make you think about the society we live in; what's wrong with it, and what might need to change. With all respect to Manveerheir, you have to be a bit brick headed not to see that. The problem is, most people who play GTA don't seem to see it, or else just don't care.

Parody only works when it delivers a message that what it says is wrong - GTA doesn't do that, at least as far as its treatment of women is concerned. It plays it so straight that the "humour" is just endless degrading of female characters, and for one of the most popular videogames ever made that just isn't acceptable. 

 

A genuine satire is clever and subversive, not relentlessly offensive.

 

"GTA V has little room for women except to portray them as strippers, prostitutes, long-suffering wives, humorless girlfriends and goofy, new-age feminists we’re meant to laugh at.

   ....

Yes, these are exaggerations of misogynistic undercurrents in our own society, but not satirical ones. With nothing in the narrative to underscore how insane and wrong this is, all the game does is reinforce and celebrate sexism. The beauty of cruising in the sun-kissed Los Santos hills while listening to “Higher Love” by Steve Winwood turns sour really quick when a voice comes on the radio that talks about using a woman as a urinal."

If you are just waking up on the east coast, I am going to bed but watch my interview with @AdamSessler please http://rev3gam.es/1eXA10Z 

[Shermos]

The narrative of the game itself isn't meant to say "this is wrong" in a sledgehammer like, moralistic way. Rockstar are much more subtle than that. They show you this missively overblown version of real life, and the clever part is that the player is left to see all this, make the connection to realtiy, and stop to think that maybe it's not cool. All the while having fun along the way. 

 

I don't want to get too far off topic here, but these links, plus more I can dig up explain what GTA is trying to do very well.

 

http://higherlevelga...political-trap/

 

"The misogyny and violence are morally reprehensible and may not be necessary to perform the function, but their presence, nonetheless, allows treating GTA 5 as a thick object deserving of a reading as satire. Satire is at its best when it presents us with an inversion of what we would consider normal behaviour coupled with an internally consistent deployment of biopolitics, and there, GTA 5 succeeds brilliantly."

Level fixes, changing dialogue to match feedback, moving lines around in the level, replacing placeholder lines with better lines. #Space!

[Gwydden]

So, nothing new yet, huh?

 

I'm guessing something as simple as a name and sequel/prequel/whatever is too much to ask
