Awesome video with Gears of War Cliff B and others talking about sound and audio. I like the fact that they actually take the time out to consider specifics like meaty and or crunchy, i like crunchier in all honesty, thought the gearheads would like it though.

That was awesome, thanks for sharing! This is the kind of thing that the naysayers need to see before they criticize video games for not being a real art medium.

I would love it if they just put out a half hour of the voice talent doing their stuff. Hilarious and amazing at the same time.

hear more of the music. It seems so much more big and emotional. I hope we get a bunch of these like Bungie did.

it's funny. (none / 0)

the technique they use for the locust voices is the same thing you use for metal vocals.

  Or in the movie studio when they make the movie. Tell 'em you'll do it for cheap, and get the experience and the note for your resume! ha ha ha

    Grymm (multi-millionaire Metal star): ha ha ha Well, it is kind of a funny story but, you know that game "Gears of War"? Well, when they made the Biggest, Best-est, Baddest-Assed 3rd game in the series, they needed a ton of voice actors to do the Locust voices. I was the friend of the brother (whom I still hang with, btw) of the Lead Design guy, and he hooked me up. The rest is history. ::smiles::
    Reporter: Really! ::laughs:: That's like my favorite game of all time! No shit!
    Grymm: ::humbly:: Yep. You know that Locust that gets sawdomized half way through Act 3, you know, when Marcus is all out of bullets, and he sees that Locust sniper lining up Cole, and then Marcus just comes up from behind and slices the dude from hole to bowl? That was me, Man. All the way!
