Voice Acting is not impressive.

Yes, the voice acting needs improvement.

[b]UPDATE![/b] Bungie has stated in their weekly update that the Ghost (Peter Dinklage) dialogue has already been updated for the Beta, and will be updated again for the finished build. Hopefully Bungie is also considering changing the Crucible announcer's voice. We will have to wait and find out for ourselves, all in good time... Now that the thread has been up for a while, I've come to a conclusion about the voices: Peter Dinklage's voice for the Alpha was pretty good, but it didn't sound like a robot and didn't have much personality. Hopefully in the Beta or finished game there will be some more editing to make it sound more authentic. I think most of us can say that the Crucible announcer is pretty weak. Hopefully this is just a placeholder voice. They should try find one that brings the same excitement as the Halo announcer, but that is new and fresh in it's own way. Most of you might not know, but the Crucible announcer is the guy with the white mask in the tower. The Voice or the Speaker of the Traveller I believe? ____________________________________ I've been watching a lot of Alpha footage over the past few days, and I've heard a lot of the same voice acting over and over again. As much as I want the voice acting to be great, it was really just generic. I'm hoping that most of it were place holders, because most of it sounds rough and unfinished. It's almost boring in a way and unimpressive, I could not get immersed by the voice acting at all. Don't get me wrong, I think Peter Dinklage is great! His voice acting on the other hand failed to immerse me into Destiny. His voice would be fine as a background character, but as a main character it is somewhat frustrating to me. I'm really hoping that there will be memorable characters in Destiny like there were in Halo, but so far I don't feel attached to any of these characters. [u]FUN FACT:[/u] My [b]grandma[/b] who lives in New Jersey, is good friends with Peter Dinklage's mom! I know it sounds crazy, but it's true! Also in the Crucible, the commentator's voice sounds almost weak and puny compared to Halo's announcer. Destiny's multiplayer looks good, but it doesn't look fun like Halo is. Just the fact that there will be no split screen is taking half of the fun away right there. I'm really hoping that Bungie will be able to make Destiny's multiplayer fun, while still making it an intense arena shooter. I think the voices have good potential, but it needs to be better if they want to make memorable characters. Halo is a great example of how can Bungie make great characters, and I have my fingers crossed that they will be able to do it again. [b]Do you think the voice acting could be better, or do you think its already good?[/b]
