<a href=http://www.gamespy.com>GameSpy</a> also have got a <a href=http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/freedom-force-vs-the-third-reich/588715p1.html>preview</a> of Freedom Force vs The Third Reich, and their preview is also based on the demo many of you have played.<blockquote>Once Tombstone's origin is over, the level begins. A mysterious enemy named Nemesis has changed history, causing the Axis to win World War II. Naturally the Freedom Force can't allow this, so they travel back in time to stop Nemesis' nefarious no-goodniks. This particular level is set in 1940's Berlin and puts the player in control of Tombstone, El Diablo, and two of the game's new heroes, the slightly dim and relentlessly perky Green Genie, and Blackjack (one of Winston's chaps looking to give the Hun what-for). They arrive just in time for a good old-fashioned Nazi book burning. It seems a bunch of Hitler's goose-stepping morons under the command of Italian super-villain Fortissimo are about to burn a Shakespeare first folio, a Gutenberg Bible, and the original Summa Theologica -- along with a copy of the battle plans that cause them to win the war. This might charitably be described as a "bad thing."</blockquote>One thing I have to wonder after playing the demo is why that British agent dude sounds Australian at times.

Perhaps the accent slipping on the hired voice talent? I've noticed that in other games and it does bother me as it should be redone if it sounds wrong.

Reminds me of the mess over Beyond Divinity and it's VO. At least this won't get that bad.

ok, im glad someone else noticed that

id say he sounds austrailian most of the time, if not all the time - maybe its intentional? its supposed to be super cheesy

i still think the game is primarily fluff tho

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

He sounds australian because most of the speech is voice-overed by the dev team itself, who are located in Australia.

Considering how they skimped on the VO, I'm surprised they sound as good as they do. The voiceovers in Deus Ex (which were voiced by Alex Brandon, for the most part) were awful, haha.

The voiceovers in Deus Ex were awful.

I disagree.

I couldn't tell if Tong was French or if the French people were Chinese. The French resistance guy you meet in the Paris catacombs sounded just like Tong.

I dunno, I loved the voiceovers fromt he first one, but then i loved the voiceovers from the jagged alliance games.

It is a lot of the 'serious' voiceovers I find grating or boring in many games.
