Hydrophobia content - the computer games industry... and moi.

Jeeeez Naith that's mad!

Very well done indeed!

You hope to spawn more work from this game?

Impressed wouldn't have guessed that was you voicing in a million years if you hadn't told us that. Game looks interesting I'll definitely be playing the demo when it's downloadable.

F*cking awesome!!!!

Really impressive... you didn't even say 'innit'

 

[Naith]

thanks guys, mean more than you can imagine.

tbh when i did it i kind of started implimenting my own stuff into the game and helping them out.

the best recording they had done previously was under a blanket in a room so the step up was huge.

i'd like to get more from the computer lot, but we'll have to see.

funnily i was happier with the two other voices i did, but yeh, really chuffed.

watch this, if you turn it up you can hear my scottish character in game voice

Yeh Naith this will be a really good thing for your CV, bid budget games like Mass Effect 2 and stuff use really established and respected actors in their games now as their production values have gone way up over the past few years....and if this franchise takes off which it may well do then it will be a great platform for you.

Watching the trailer on You Tube though I kept imagining you as you were trying to be serious and trying not to laugh myself! If I didn't know it was you though I would have said it was really good! (if that makes sense?!)

 

[Naith]

haha thats because you know me tom and have seen me in pretty much every emotional state... but yeh, they are planning for an initial 2million downloads so god yeh if they hit their first target i will be happy to say the least.

The "interactive market" (video games) is forecast to be a bigger grossing industry than movies and music combined before the end of the decade.

The next step is to be in the new Call of Duty game, and then get me a free copy. Deal?

Where did you research for that accent? It's spot on!

Metal Gear 3 had some awesome Russians in it, and you could easily have done that. Well impressed mate.

tbh i just listen and watch, i can pretty much mimic anyone given time, about 2 hours. not like Allister McGowan, I'm alot more subtle in that i pick up things like breathing, gestures and mental insights... all very deep and lovey dovey

what people don't realize though is i got the scripts for this 5 mins before recording and had to change 50% dialogue on the day, obviously given the chance i like to 'rev my V8' but balancing my creative urges with the general fact I'm being thrown in at the deepend is bloomin hard, but really rewarding.

its just so hard to get chances... for example the british tv and film industry just seem to wanna re-employ john thompson, robson green and fcuking danny dyer and never give us lesser a chance, it rarely boils down to talent


as for it taking off and future stuff, god dont i know it, hoping my american GI gets the attention of all the war game builders...

anyway i'm babbling.

Awesome work :approve:

Got this the other day. I haven't heard you yet Naith - unless you've got a convincing girly voice?

[Munson]

Only the other day I was thinking of Naith (as you do) and wondering WTF this game was called.

Seems very Tomb-Raider-esque so far. The water effects are pretty impressive, tbh. I wouldn't recommend this game for anyone who has a fear of drowning, though - lol.

Does it play ok on 2011 hardware or do you need to downgrade to 2005 pre-SLI kit?
