Loads of games don't use VO, just have barks or reuse their VO stuff. VOs know this and, as long as it's laid out in their contract & they agree to it, it's fine.
But I agree that reusing generic wording is the worst of the options I mentioned. Still better than AI voices though

Heard everything on the pod. Maybe I'm a hardliner but there's never a reason for AI voices. Either get VOs to say everything you can think of for future content, hire em back for new lines later or use more generic wording that can be edited/reused. If your 'vision' needs AI voice, get a new specs

Every time I'm starting to get tired of modern football, a game like this (or the Irish one from the other night) has me watching replays on loop like a schoolboy. Unbelievable goals, awesome crowd & the BBC Scotland commentators 👇were the cherry on the cake

Tbh every Scotland game this campaign has been ridiculous. You should watch every game highlights vid back to back.
And N.Ireland and Wales are in the Playoffs w/ the Republic.
There's still a chance every British & Irish team gets in!

Not a Scot but watched the last 4 Scotland qualifiers and every single one has been ridiculous, especially the 2nd halves.
Congrats!

No you won't. It's been taken down 😂
Can't believe it takes the official FAI YT channel a week to turn around a basic match highlights vid so they miss out on like 90% of the total views

Finally got round to playing Artful Escape yesterday and it was as awesome as everybody told me. You take your time but I promise I won't take so long once Mixtape's out!

As a fellow Brit, I have to disagree. Not much worse than warm lager.
Also, how do you clean the thing?

I'm a Colts fan and the runoff thing was stupid enough but when they had us call the flip, I legit started laughing. So bad.

Yeah, that's great. I already had Arctic Eggs but some of the others on wishlist, the others look cool and I've been meaning to play Mouthwashing for months. I already purchased a book about it before I played it!

They're on fire this year. Banger announcements every couple of days recently. Probably good for my bank account I just get their books. If I was a vinyl/Playstation/Switch guy i'd be in trouble!

They’ve clearly got a gamer in the questions team. Usually have at least one per episode this series. Guaranteed points for me every week!
