Was just reminiscing about the original Unreal Tourney and have played in both closed beta sessions and loved every minute. Thought it would be really cool if you introduced the in game Announcer as of UT!

Double kill!!!!!!!

Head shot!!!!!!!

Dominating!!!!!!

Thoughts please_

[Deu]

I could of sworn I heard a soft female's voice as an announcer in a gameplay video I just don't know how they did it. Not just the typical Enemy Sighted and Help Requested.

IMHO, I rather like the impersonal computer sounds and HUD indications for kills/killstreaks. It enhances the robotic feel of the game.

[iamhoshi]

mech should have some kind of on-board A.I.

[Husky]

Can I have the voice of B9 from Lost in Space yell out Danger when I am low on health or to announce enemy has launched their battleship_

[bacon_avenger]

This idea was brought during CBT1 as well:

http://community.pla...-be-more-vocal/

And the general feel I got out of that thread was that no one really wanted it nor did it fit within the game world.

I'm against it.  I don't think it's needed and feel that it would 'cheapen' the game asthis isn't Black Ops, UT or Quake 3, it doesn't need the stuff that seems to be aimed at the short attention span crowd.

I wouldn't be against the on-board computer being a bit more verbose when certain things happen.  After all, we get warnings when getting close to overheating, why not a warning when the armour is low_  But please make it adjustable with the option to turn it off.

"CROTCH DOMINATOR!"

[BeefC4ke]

I'm with bacon.

I don't want too much voice but wouldn't mind a few more verbal warnings.

[DarkPulse]

It would be interesting, but I don't think it's necessary per se.

If it does get implemented, definitely should be something computerized, or maybe something that's actually really old sounding (i.e; maybe something that was from advanced pre-oops tech).

I think it could be a nice premium option for Meteor points, for example:
The default would be a genderless robotic voice, but you could also pay meteor points to get different ones, maybe a female one or a psychotic one, shouting: "KILLING SPREE, DOUBLE KILL" and etc.

Excuse me_ I don't understand what you mean by that.

[Subdivision]

As an optional extra, possibly added content that is bought. Sound packs for such announcements like in Dota2.


After so many years of playing fps games, its really really nice not having the over the top announcements IMO

[HandSlander]

Immersion breaker x999.

However, I like the idea of being able to purchase an AI voiceover but one like Unreal Tournament or was it Quake 3 would be horrid. I was thinking something like J.A.R.V.I.S. from Iron Man

Even though it obviously can't happen for copyright reasons, thinking of GLaDoS made me smile.

GLaDoS: "You Monster."

Ditto for SHODAN (have a cookie if you know who that is without looking it up).

System shock_
Hmm, I heard that the woman who voiced Shodan, Terri Brosius, will voice the AI SARA in Interstellar marines

System shock was an awesome game.

Oh, Tetris Online/Tetris Friends [not sure which is the official name] is an online competitive Tetris community. I used to be hooked on it. lol

anyway, you got options to customize your gameplay [block styles, sound effects, announcer voices, etc] You could choose between a default male/female voice, a robot voice, the voice of Tetris's creator, etc for announcements, only the non-default announcers cost rubies [Tetris Online's paid currency]
