Icline on horizon. Modders use AI to voice text lines in Betsheda games using original actors.

[Trans-Financial-Man]

Highly impressive. Maybe we will go back to 10 choices in dialogs after all. Soon probably voice actors will be jobless. Mind you this is only 1.0 and as you see some are shit but some are great.

You're telling me I can finally make the real Warcraft 4? I can make it with the real voice actors, ignore all the bullshit of WoW. And FINALLY SET THINGS RIGHT?

Oh, it's still kinda shit compared to the scary good Jordan Peterson bot. But I see so SO much potential. And also lawsuits up the arse.

dude just slapped an electron UI on an already existing base project, tinkered it a teeny bit and is at this very moment siphoning 214 eurobucks a month out of it from patreon so your GPU can overheat and kill itself trying to make something sound like microsoft sam

bravo 10/10
behold actual true art:

Fuck my life that's uncanny. I watched his Kylo Ren videos too.

We need someone to do Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford. Imagine someone doing the real Star Wars sequels. The Timothy Zhan books. I'd settle for an audio drama if it had the real voices and they got this guy to do the music.



God damn the fanfiction ideas I could come up with for this. I'm fuckin loosing my mind.

"Heya! It's me, Imoen!"

Voice acting is unnecessary

In this context I can't disagree.

How long before the Codex is fully voiced using this tech??

 

[Riddler]

This is an impressive piece of tech, but it seems kind of a waste to use it on games. Imagine, say, feeding it data on a politician's voice and "leaking" a phone call where he admits to whatever. Really, the sky's the limit once it gets good enough.

JC Denton voice mod for nu-deus ex games when? Hell, could even replace V with JC in Cybercuck.

He needs to have this comment on the very youtube shitpost vid, this shit should not be tolerated, considering the prosperous quality and effort he made.

That's not Trump. It's too lucid, keeps a train of thought, and doesn't mispronounce enough words.

The JFK one is basically how Cleve sounds in my head.

There are going to be be some Crispin Glover-style lawsuits in the next ten years when voice actors are unable to compete with their royalty-free likenesses.

They would have a good case because of the law on likeness. It hasn't really been tested yet. There isn't much stopping you from blending multiple VAs to teach the software, though, and anyway lots of professional VAs would be happy to provide custom training while disclaiming any rights. This would cut down on a lot of the repetitive studio labor involved in recording zillions of 'bark' lines for a lot of big releases. There are many things in which machine learning is overhyped. We won't have ML-driven self driving cars without driver supervision, for example. But for stuff like this it is really good and getting better. For the purpose of game assets, if the system generates assets that suck, you can always manually tweak it.

I believe Watch Dogs Legion uses a variation on this technology but I have not played it. Some have said that the implementation was not good. This is something that will be more meaningful for helping indie teams to produce work that holds up better by comparison to high budget games.

Voice acting is unnecessary

To me is unnecessary but as each day pass, there are less and less people making games for me, there are something like only 10000 active accounts on RPGcodex, not enough for a long shot to pay for even an indie game and while no voice acting is a popular take here, if you go to steam forums, it is "No voice acting? No buy." every minute.

Not going the "le epic cinematic experience" route helps keeping audience relatively retard-free. I don't remember any voice acting in Kenshi, and it sold buckets.

Sounds like shit and it's useless because everyone sounds bored to death. How am I suppose to make chain smoking argonian sluts hot for my cock if they can only talk like they're checking in people at the DMV?

Hit a bit too close to RL for you, eh?

They sound pretty boring and shit in the skyrim game anyway; maybe if they used better samples it would be better?

Bad VO = bad

Bad AI VO = moarr bad

 

[Perkel]

Cons:
Bad VO = bad
Bad AI VO = moarr bad

Pros:
dialogues that have more than 2-3 lines old crpg style.
