@kirithem: the voice is perfect. The speed of this video along with the wise-cracks makes this really funny, not to mention a wonderful example of the uncanny valley. Agree with lulxors about "Keanu Reeves." ROFL

@kirithem Haha so glad you go for the cartoony voice, fits the character so well. You are definatly the smartest guy I've ever heard when it comes to video games.

@Zonde32 I think for uncharted, it's more stylized. Since they use motion acting, and it works so well, it has proper proportions, but it's still not quite realistic. Since it does slightly have a very nice art style that's not quite realistic.

i think a healthy mix of both is preferable. like, if you have a mario game, it clicks with styled animation, it goes with it. but if you try that with gears of war, it doenst seem natural. i think the best one to do is the one that fihts teh point and seriousness of the game itself.
Zonde32 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
so what is Uncharted 1 2 and god of war 3... are they before or after the uncanny valley? because they are immensly appealing but not perfect graphics wise. i mean they look really fucking good. my theory is that realistic graphics need perfect animation to make them appealing.

no such thing as a boring voice. a voice is only boring if what it has to say is boring.

I liked this video and I loved the voice. I think it made the whole thing see more entertaining (It already would have been informative.).

This video would be good if this annoying douche bag didn't try to be funny
