VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "I recently wrote an article about some of the worst instances of voice acting in video games and it got me thinking about the importance of voice acting in general, and the effect the quality of the voice acting can have on a video game. Today, great voice acting in video games is often taken for granted, creating situations in which its actual importance is severely underrated."
Under his leadership, many have lost their jobs and fewer games have made it out the door.
people should call for his resignation, he has literally flushed xbox down the toilet.
another 3 studios closed today, thats it now, get out
Phil needs to go. His time is over. When you oversee layoff after layoff after studio closure after studio closure, it's impossible to keep going forward and have people - employees and fans alike - trust you in any way.
Especially after HiFi Rush hit their metrics. I guess we know what to expect for Ninja Theory next once Hellblade is out, and Machine Games once Indiana's out & Todd Howard focuses back on ES6.
It's not just Phil (Phil is just the dumb kid taking the money) and Kotaku is NOT the voice to listen to as shi7 sites like Kotaku helped contribute to modern gaming toxicity and disinformation. Kotaku staff = Much like Phil, and yes need to go.
MS has been posting record profits, you think they give a crap about games and gamers? Think again.
What a prat.
People gave him and Matt Booty the benefit of the doubt for a few years due to the mess they inherited but a decade on and all they've done is ruin gaming for everyone.
The only success they've had is MS Flight Simulator which was developed by a third party anyway - and Forza Horizon which by pure coincidence went downhill in quality the second Playground were acquired (imo) and that's all I can think of. Everything else they've touched has been ruined.
It's genuinely staggering how either of these two guys are still there.
In an Interview with Game Rant, Neil Newbon discusses the performance choices he made portraying Baldur's Gate 3's Astarion, and why some decisions were risky.
Brendan writes; "Head of digital product development Dan Ayoub tells us about the toy maker's plans to get back in the game."
Just wait till YOUR the voice acting, interacting with sentient like AI...
That's gonna be hitting headlines.
BETS ARE UP BOYS AND GIRLS!!!... When do YOU think it's going to happen?
M$, Google and many other multi million/billion investors are rapidly trying to create and advance AI, although the, "public", demo's are silly, imagine where it will be in 2 more generations?... If the Neo/Scorpio don't impress you, imagine what a 100 gb Ram console with a GPU sitting around 100 TFLOPS might be capable of?
