Barry shit in the helicopter during the middle of our mission.

What a monster. I can't believ- WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PLACE ANYWAY

It looks like he was killed by a crow or something.

LOOK AT THOSE MOOOONSTEEEERRRRRSSSSSSSS

>>11817179
YES SIR!

Barry, you're SO optimistic

There are tons of games with hilariously bad voice acting but for some reason none have dialogue as memorable as Resident Evil's
I wonder what exactly makes RE1 so quotable

>>11817526
IMO the voice acting isn't too bad. It's the writing which is very unnatural

>>11817526
Every line sounds like it was written and voiced by aliens.

>>11817526
RE1 is one of the earliest mainstream examples. The earlier ones were on PC, and CD console add-ons. Plus the Playstation had massive reach.

>>11817531
>the voice acting isn't too bad

>>11817526
Resident Evil's voice acting is so bad that it unfairly labeled all other survival horror games as having bad voice acting, including all the mainline Silent Hill games.

>>11817526
>>11817542
In my opinion, it just adds to the schlocky horror movie vibes. Part of me feels like it was intentional to invoke that feeling, it's just too perfect.

>>11817552
I don't know man, I'm on a playthrough of SH1 right now, and yeah I guess it's slightly better than Resident Evil, but still leaves much to be desired.

the one that always kills me is when chris's voice breaks when he says "rebecca!" at the guardhouse

>>11817551
Terrible demons.
OUCH!

For me, it's Jill randomly slipping into a Canadian? accent sometimes.

>>11817551
>It's a snake and also poisonous!

>>11818217
>Um, ackshually Richard, snakes are venomous. Poison is something you ingest, venom is something that's injected.

>>11815805 (OP)
It's a weapon. It's REALLY powerful! Especially against living things!

>>11818258
Jill, don't be so pedantic. OUCH!

Stop it!
Don't open!
That door!

>>11817531
Wasn't the writing done by a japanese dude then directly translated? I heard something of that effect a while ago.

>>11817514
>Do you think we can see TYRANT now?
>Barry, you're SO optimistic!
I still don't understand what they meant to get across with this line... was Barry supposed to be saying "let's go kill that Tyrant thing now!"?

>>11819853
I feel like it was just badly translated and that Jill is supposed to call Barry inquisitive or something like that

>>11817179
>choker
Fucking slut.

>>11818792
As ridiculous as that line is, I like that it actually would be helpful if it wasn't so awkward. The acid rounds are far more useful against the "living" enemies like Spiders and especially Hunters rather than "undead" enemies like zombies.
I figure that was the intention, but it got mangled with a weird translation that was never proof read.

>>11819717
I think so. And I think this is why the dialogue is so schloky. The actors tried but the Capcom guys, being barely fluent, told them to slow down and basically read the lines.
>>11817794
That's because the VAs were Canadian.

>>11822278
Ah yes, like in Troll 2

>I'm Jill what's your name?
>...Barry
>You got a last name, Barry?
>...Urkok'n'mi
>Barry Urkok'n'mi?
>Don't mind if I do Jill, don't mind if I do
Holy shit how'd they get away with this in 1997?

I think the dialogue is so shit because, like Silent Hill, all the dialogue was just read line by line with the only context probably being the vague mood of the scene.
Silent Hill had superior voice actors but that talent doesn't mean anything if they aren't directed properly. And thats why it also has dialogue that is goofy, and if anything, more egregious than Resident Evil's, because at least that game is based on schlocky horror flicks.

>>11817526

>tfw there will never be a cartoon horror resident evil, because everyone fell for the realism meme

>>11817554
It's truly something special

>>11817526
>>11817554
It also helps that they literally just grabbed a bunch of local randos with no intent on keeping them around long-term, I think Jill's was still in high school even, just to make something. So most of these people are inexperienced, given a wack ass Japanese to English script, and doing voice recordings with probably very little direction or context. The perfect storm of bizarre weirdness.

>>11818258
I saw that video too, thoes guys are kinda gay and stupid

>>11822929
The FMV actors and the voice actors were completely different people. Chris was voiced by a professional DJ if I remember right.

>>11822571
that didn't happen

>>11823578
Chris Redfield's voice actor also did the voice of Richter Belmont in SotN.
Harry Mason's voice actor was Dracula. The "WHAT IS A MAN!?" scene was Chris talking to Harry.

>>11823754
Would have been funnier of Dracula was played by Albert Wesker.

"Humanity ill needs a savior such as you!"
"Stop it, Richter :("

>>11823754
Scott McCulloch (RIP in peace) did VA for lot's of games, more than his imdb page says so. For instance he plays a major NPC in The Note, another PSX survival horror. There was another game I played last year and I immediately recognized him doing the voice over for "Game Over!" and stuff but I can't remember what it was right now.

>>11824253
Never heard of The Note, how is it?

NOOOO!
DON'T GO!

>>11824259
It's okay, there are definitely worse survival horror on PSX. There is one item puzzle which I thought was a genuine "how were you supposed to know" moment, and if you want the good ending and save all characters it takes some rather annoying backtracking at one point, but otherwise it's fine.

>>11824806
This looks like what indie developers think PSX looked like.

>>11824806
yea, I played Martian Gothic, wasn't that good.

>>11824829
at least it's better than Evil Dead

>>11822587
I completely disagree in the case of Silent Hill. Unlike Resident Evil which sounds like they didn't really know what they were doing, for Silent Hill I see intent and actual direction, and that direction being "make it sound like a David Lynch movie". Everything I can think of about the dialogues in the first Silent Hill, from the writing/wording, the pacing of the voice acting, the unique way it feels like the characters aren''t having a natural conversation, but also the camera angles and editing during those conversations, feel like they're straight out of Lost Highway or Mullholand Drive.
It's so obvious to me that I always wonder why noone else notices it. People are very quick when it comes to throwing everything on the "lol bad video game VA" pile though.

>>11817526
House of the Dead 2 mogs it

>>11824984
Despite their apparent popularity, few people actually watch David Lynch kino

>>11824984
Well the thing about Lynch is he intentionally makes his dialogue unnatural so it's like if someone were doing it on purpose vs not doing it on purpose, either way it will sound unnatural.
And I totally agree btw that the game is heavily inspired by Lynch and specifically Twin Peaks.
I also feel like I would have to hear the Japanese voiceover to really make that conclusion.
But personally, I still find it pretty rough around the edges, even considering the other stuff.

>>11816030
This one is best out of context.

Deep Fear was also legendarily bad but most people didn't play it since it was a Saturn exclusive

>>11829486
Without playing the video, I knew it would be about Dubois.

>>11817794
where on earth have you bean

>>11824806
looks like a Sega AM2 railshooter, that's not a bad thing for me

>>11824819
all things considered it's actually rather shockingly detailed for character models of the era when you think about it

>>11827414
>Well the thing about Lynch is he intentionally makes his dialogue unnatural so it's like if someone were doing it on purpose vs not doing it on purpose, either way it will sound unnatural.

Yes but the way it sounds unnatural is very much alike, I don't think it can be a coincidence. For instance if you take a look at Resident Evil, House of the Dead 2, Deep Fear etc they also don't sound natural, but not in the same manner at all.
