csolisr, do gaming w Keith David Is Zavala's New VA Following Lance Reddick's Death - Insider Gaming

Wondering if they’ll re-record the late Reddick’s lines to have the voice sound uniform throughout the campaign, like what happened with the Ghost back in the day.

It said in the article that they won’t.

Was always going to be a tough act to follow Reddicks iconic voice.

I love Keith David though, he will always be Anderson from Mass Effect (aka Shepards space poppa)

Although I delight when I hear Keith David in Mass Effect or any game, I can reach farther back in time memory: Keith David will always be this wonderful man to me:

“The uploaded has not made this video available in your country.” 😔

Mrmcmisterson,

New exactly what it was before I clicked. That fight scene is iconic.

Never really seen that movie but could only see a brief second of the thumbnail. In Scotland so we must be on some naughty list 🙃

If true, I hope that they leave some of the goofy bugs and ai in the game. I think the weirdness of the interactions between NPCs is part of what made me love the game so much before.

O: “Heard any news from the other provinces?”

M: “Nothing I’d like to speak about.”

O: “Good day.”

M: “Go.”

O: " heLLO! "

M: “Hi.”

I also loved how the guards would try to attack through through space and time, with a lively “Beuaregeh!” as they hit absolutely nothing.

Other times, you’d see a guard kill someone, only for that same guard to go up to the body, gasp and shout “there’s been a murder!”.

I loved some of the messed up object physics too.

Shame these companies don't support projects like these. Like they are ever going to remaster it themselves anyway and I doubt it would be that popular. Would be free PR for them.

I wonder what the effect would be if someone hacked him and leaked his game. You know, totally out of his control. He can't stop a malicious actor afterall...

Unfortunately he’s never going to release it out of fear of Disney.

GunnarRunnar,

I guess a chill IP owner that would like some good will pr would strike a deal with the developer... Unfortunate that it's Disney.

Neato,

Disney doesn't need PR, goodwill or even a bit more money. They have all of those things that is needed for them to assert complete control. And that will bring them more power and money than anything else. It's the same strategy every company has been going for a while but it's very obvious with the internet companies now.

YT has control over online video, so it's cracking down anyone avoiding paying them. Reddit controls most text-based communities, so it's preventing the same. Google knows it's the overwhelming majority of browsers, so it's trying to inseminate the entire internet to prevent anyone from seeing anything it doesn't like, or pay them for.

mPony,

Beg pardon: Reddit is preventing other text-based communities... how?

I think they mean that most text-based communities are on Reddit, but considering this same article is also on Reddit I don’t know what point they’re trying to make.

GunnarRunnar,

If we've seen anything, it's that companies always need more money. But this probably doesn't move the needle enough to make it at all worth it. Or it fucks with their marketing plan simply, they seem to be pretty keen on following the plan charts set for them.

Someone with more gung-ho attitude might jump at the chance though. even if it wouldn't really make a measurable impact for them either.

there’s a couple of games that I love from the 90s (Ultima Underworld I & II) that I’ve considered doing this with, but I don’t know nearly enough about game development.

very cool, though.

ivanafterall,

I've also always wanted to understand where one even BEGINS something like this. I assume this is "reverse engineering," essentially? Or does it only really work with games that have leaked/public-in-some-way source code?

Wow, that was ine of my favorite games ever ! And I almost forgot about it!

Too bad I don’t even have a descent enough computer to even think of trying out a remaster of it. But I might get looking for the original for the memories!

Rynelan, do gaming w Developer remakes The Simpsons: Hit and Run from scratch

So basically he only needs the rights and it’s ready for release? Wonder how hard that’ll be to accomplish

BrooklynMan,
@BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml avatar

I suppose that they could release it for free as an open-source project and not brother with all of that

Kichae,

No, they'd still need IP rights for the characters/world/name. Releasing it for free doesn't alleviate that issue in any way.

They could strip it of all of the Simpsons related stuff, but they'd also have to create new levels, since those are owned by the epriginal publisher.

Yep. There would be a line of lawyers at that guys door the next day to ruin his entire life. I'm surprised they haven't already. Would love to play it but unless there is a "leak" it's not happening.

whataboutshutup,

And if a company wants to fuck with you, it can sue you anyway over minor likeness until it exhaust you from money to attend hearings.

eric5949,

It uses assets from the game so that’s a no go.

oh, yeah, then definitely not
