Destiny's announcer is ridiculously obnoxious.
0:00-0:54 is when you hear it.
Anyone actually like this voice? It's completely repulsive. It's like Bungie is trying to emulate the announcer from Halo, but went too far with it and decided to go for Morgan Freeman with lung cancer.
Thoughts?

1 ReplyI wasn't crazy (and still am not) about the voice, but once I saw it was Lance Reddick I found it to be a little more likable. It's not that it's a bad voice, but just doesn't seem to fit.

I have a feeling he is only one of many narrators. Since you get missions (possibly strikes?) from different factions, it seems to me a different person might narrate your opening depending on which faction you picked up the card from (forgive the Fable Reference.)

3 RepliesI agree, honestly. The first time I watched it, I felt like I needed to puke while he was talking.

1 ReplyIt was alright. I like the narration for the original Destiny presentation trailer (last year's e3) way more. That kind of old raspy voice. ( it was a different person right? Might be mixed up on that since I haven't seen it in a long time) Kinda like the venerable odo from dungeon siege 3. I thought that voice was cool. Not everyone does though. Its just a voice of like a person with wisdom and experience imo. But if this guy's going to be doing the announcements for things like... In the lead 1 minute remains Etc. Well Idk...his voice doesn't sound that great for that...that voice would be better for an actual character in the game.
-
I personally thought he sounded pretty badass
-
I don't mind it. It's pretty good. I also don't think they were trying to 1 up halo this is just the type of voice you would use for this moment and so is perfect.

11 RepliesLance Reddick has an amazing voice. They didn't try and copy the announcer from Halo lol

Edited by oreOBird: 5/27/2014 11:19:44 PMHe sounds pretty boss. I want him to be the voice of a main story character.

It was powerful strong and confident
-
As far as we know, he's a voice actor who they hired for marketing and won't be in game. I think you are jumping to conclusions.
-
I liked it
-
I like it, but the Halo announcer is much better.
-
I don't have a problem with it.
-
Honestly, I thought he was good. I think they should've paid Morgan Freeman to do it but I saw no problem with the narrator.
-
I actually thought it was Keith David. Honestly I thought it was good.

4 RepliesEdited by Tartan 118: 5/27/2014 10:42:51 PMDid sound like Esposito. Who is Lance Reddick?
-
But I want my halo announcer :(
-
2 RepliesI believe the voice is the actor from Breaking Bad Giancarlo Esposito which I think does an excellent job with voice narrating and acting. He was also reading the book The Boy in the wolf destiny video. So the only thing repulsive is this thread.
-
You went a tad overboard in your comments but I preferred the voice tone in the original trailers. Liked the deep voice, clean tone of Giancarlo Esposito in The Law of The Jungle trailer more. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS1BM9XRgvw[/url] Lance Reddick has a very nice voice, I'm sure he was directed to read the lines in that manner though.
-
Sounds like a cheap version of Giancarlo Esposito.
-
4 RepliesIt sounds a bit too forced and campy, but I don't have too much of a problem with it. The announcer on halo 4 on the other hand made me cringe.
-
Lance Reddick? I kinda like him...
