New Gameplay Graphics Discussion Thread

I don't think we'll get voice overs at all and be stuck with speech bubbles. But that would be interesting...

Actually, if the cutscenes don't have vocals, then I don't think GF will show any person speaking in the cutscenes, coz, you can't put speech bubbles in a cutscene

Still, I think we'll get vocal tracks in terms of music though

That we will get, I quite liked that. Though I lol-ed at Roxie's gym music lyrics.

Nintendo has never really had much voice acting in their games. Im more than half-way through Fire Emblem Awakening and there's mainly just sound bytes for characters. The only fully voiced scenes come from animated segments. It would be nice, but I dont think anything will be fully voiced for Pokemon, either.

Oops. I was speaking of character voice-overs in general gameplay.

Lol, I guess misunderstandings happen to all of us.
Anyway, voice overs during normal gameplay wound be nice, though I'm fine with speech bubble.
BTW, since we can clearly see the NPC's face now, do you think GF will make their mouth move when they speak. They should, and I hope it looks at least somewhat realistic.

The NPC's mouth moved during Xtranceiver calls, so I'd at least expect it in cutscenes. Anyway, as Bus said, Nintendo games rarely have voice acting in them, or at least very little of it. The only fully voiced Nintendo game I can think of is Kid: Icarus Uprising, which seemed to go out of it's way to avert this.

Star Fox, Metroid, Kid Icarus and now Xenoblade go with full on voice work. But as a 2nd party who knows what the Pokemon Company will do. I'd love voice acting but I doubt it. It would be a natural fit after all.

Finaly each pokemon reacts to the attckas in a unique way. for me thats the best part !

It is a very big advancement in the Pokemon series, and it looks awesome! but I hope they have something like BW2 where you could re-live what happened to the old characters, and they use sprites. It just one of the classic Pokemon franchises...thing.

[Ser Crow]

Maybe the Party window shows the sprites and when you look at the summary, you'll see the 3D models. Same in the battle.

[OllieXTrick]

On the topic of updates audio-wise, anyone else think they'll be updating the sounds of the pokemon as well?
Not to say it SHOULD happen, don't get me wrong. I'm neutral either way. But with the 3D model update, I'd think they'd at least change or update their sounds as well to fit the new gen in some form or manner.

I doubt that they will completely change the Pokemon's cry especially Gen 1 & 2.
But they could do some remastering to make the sound better and less chiptune-y while keeping the original cry.

Isn't that something that already happened with the Gamecube games? I still play those, they're so wonderful. And something I really love about them is how the Pokemon attack and are hit/faint in a unique way. Hopefully it will look amazing on the 3DS too.

[Keera]

One of things I most want to see is a major upgrade to the GTS. I'm not saying that it's not bad the way it is, but it could be better. Like if there was a way to deposit more than one pokemon. Or a way to ask for a variety of pokemon in return for the one you offer. Or even if there was a way to search what all you could get for a specific pokemon of yours.
And it would be nice to view all of the pokemon in the specific filter as opposed to just the 7 that we're limited to.

Just my thoughts. ^^

[Essiah]

Changing the original chip-tune pokemon from gen 1/2 cry? No, no and no. I really like the fact that GF dont do this. Even if this will someday happen, They should really make this in perfection style. Although, GF (as Nintendo) really like nostalgia so I'll not hope for any sound-remastering.

That's what I really want to happen. Just to match up with the most recent ones.

[Hankka]

I really like the old Gen 1 and Gen 2 cries, it makes for some great variety in the sound of the game. And I don't think they would even go through the trouble of remaking the old sounds.

Well, not to change them completely, just to make them sound more up to date. And not computerized. I do know it's my opinion though. xD

[Xadium]

Oops, it looks like I accidentally clicked on the New Gameplay Sound Thread.

[Essiah]

Then, it was HM's usefulness thread. All those points fulfill the topics name, yes?

If GameFreak want to bring some Kanto Pokemon in full 3D glory in 6th game, there shouldn't be re-mastered pokemon sounds. The idea is ambitious but too much risky IMO.

They could easily use the Stadium 2 cries, they all sounded pretty awesome.

[Mr. Cuddles]

I'd love the old cries to be updated, but pokemon saying their name in the games? Please no. Then I'd never play with my sound on again. Imo it even sounds pretty lame in the anime.
