Forums - Gaming - Rockstar claims that RDR2 has 1000 voice actor cast, making it the largest ever in a game

Do animal noises count as voice actors. 200 species of animals, they make sound as well!

Bet you, after all those voice actors, we still get the same old opening door/gate sound used in every game and tv show. I'm nit picky, yet it annoys me every door and gate sounds the same as every other lol.

Thats... alot.It has no regards to the game quality, but its an impressive number nonetheless.

It actually does. Not hearing npcs saying the same fucking lines over and over makes a massive difference. 



That's all good and stuff but how much of that will be anything of value overall?

This one?

 

It's amazing how lazy some sound designers are, I frown every time I hear this particular sound effect and completely forbade it at my work some 10 years ago.

Ok, here's my question.

How many copies does this game have to sell to cover the budget of the voice cast alone?

Depends on the pay of each for example someone doing a few lines won't get the same as someone voicing a main character, I'm sure the are a lot of people who would have been paid maybe 100 or so quid. Another thing is VAs aren't necessarily paid straight away as media is notoriously slow in paying the people in it.

Why does a game need this enormous number of voice actors?

Basically, the game itself is massive. The map size is bigger than GTA V, making it the largest game that Rockstar has ever created. We know there is at least 1 big city on the map, Saint Denis (based on real world New Orleans), as well as 5 or 6 smaller towns, plus various ranches and other smaller settlements. Basically we're looking at probably at least 4,000 NPC's across the whole game, probably at least half of which will be voiced. Having 1000 voice actors basically means that each actor will only voice 2 NPC's at most probably, meaning that you are unlikely to hear 2 NPC's that sound alike. 

wow i didn't know that the game was that big.

i guess i forgot this is rockstar were talking about here



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?


If this game gets anything below 98 on Meta I'll riot.
