Thought you guys might like to know that Gamespy has posted a Beyond Divinity preview based on a build with the improvements Larian is working on including new voice overs:
Quote
The biggest changes are the completely redone voiceovers: based on response to the demo, they've gone back to the studio, contracted new voice actors, and re-recorded all the dialogue. The new stuff sounds great, especially given the often hysterical commentary offered up by the main character's sarcastic soul-mate, the Death Knight.

There's not a lot of info otherwise but it's good to hear the new recordings turned out well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Strong language!!!!! thats the biggest [nocando] I ever heard. [nocando] [nocando] [nocando]'ers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />



Does this mean that we can remove the [nocando]'s of this forum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

Iffi: Some players may get bogged down by all the options. Will the game balance out right?


I was just thinking the same thing.

Nice preview though, it really raises hopes. Now I really can't wait.

Given that the graphics and special effects are much more detailed and gorgeous this time around, there's a good chance the game will appeal to both types of players


Improved grafics?? I want screenshots (before and after pics with high resolution )to confirm this fact. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I dought it. It's in the part where they compare the new build with the previous build they played. Would be kind of stupid to refer first to the previous build and the next line to DD without specificly saying it.

It would be great if we could get a sample of the new voices.

I wish they would give the speech files free for download for the German Version (and to show Ubi Soft that Gamers want them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> ) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> .

The fact that they've gone to the trouble of re-doing the voiceovers and suchlike speaks volumes about their commitment to making a great product!

Most developers would have released the game anyway, but not Llarian!

I'm looking forward to this game more than ever now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Is there any reason why that can't be done?
And if not, I think it's a great idea! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/idea.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

If they can, then they can't do it before the relase of the english version.

I'm not sure who owns the rights at the moment for the voices. The first were done inhouse. The new ones are not, I suppose it has been done with the help of one or more publishers. Maybe there are some contractual limitations with the studio doing the new voices that limit a free distribution of the voices.
I guess you have to wait and see, or start begging and wait and see <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
