It's because EGX doesn't really exist anymore, it's just a comic-con tack on since it was purchased by Reed Pop.

It really is, first open world game in a while that's excited me so I'm super disappointed, as a gamer, not to be jumping in!

It's not even "these days", actors with home studios have been around for decades.

This is a very conscious choice to use AI instead or perhaps they literally don't have someone on the team who has the knowledge to guide them better which is also possible!

You can create a pipeline where you have a roster of actors "on-call" who can turn round audio within 4 hours, this is not a difficult thing to achieve.

AI is a choice and a different one could easily have been made that would keep it collaborative, ethical and in the spirit of creating art.

If you, as a studio decide you're going to use human voices, you can easily create a fast, responsive pipeline.

There are 1000s of voice actors, ready and available with broadcast quality home studios that can get you audio, fast.

This is a leadership problem, not a logistical one.

Oooof, you dirty bitch! I'm at a hotel and now hoping the buffet breakfast has plain toast and butter

Talk toppings to me... butter, marmalade, jams, peanut butter, Nutella? What you putting on this bad boy?

I always think there's a purists argument for simple white bread with lashings of good butter.

The buckets use is determined by it's user...

Congrats, very well deserved! Been watching Soulframe with interest and I can't wait to dive in :)

Oh nooooo, we were in the same place at the same time and didn't meet!

It my first as well, I'll definitely be back next year, had a blast.

And destroy the pun? INCONCEIVABLE!

A long time back I wanted to build a website that had rankings of various coffees that people could score and it would give you their overall public ranking.

I wanted to call it.... Average Joe's

Clearly you've been kidnapped Tom, why are you talking like a youth?

Absolutely, they are still as good as the day I bought them and whenever the come out the wash they are my immediate go-to pair of socks.
