How is he going to recharge this?

I'm unironically excited to see the Shovel Knight world. I could see a fight with Black Knight.

>>389054615
If you think it's a sure thing there's going to be a Shovel Knight world then you've been misled. Suda has said he'd LIKE to work with Yacht Club, not that there's any kind of official collaboration happening as of now. He talked to them at PAX this week, but even if there is a collaboration that doesn't mean that the game would have a Shovel Knight world, they haven't said that the worlds we're visiting will be based on real games. People are reading more into this game then has been revealed.

Shame they recasted Travis's VA.

>>389056276
Has this ever worked? I know it's business, but I'd feel a sense of obligation to my va.

>>389056276
He deserves it. The strike is a good thing because it's bringing in lesser known voice actors. Shame it won't be the same one, but it's his fault.

>>389056437
Don't recall it working on any VA, no.
They most likely have a contract with the new dude, so I don't see them taking Downes back.

>>389056651
Yeah, pretty much.
I just wish they would've just made a new character entirely, since I'm tired of all these "Your favorite character is BACK!" and then them getting recasted anyways.

Poor guy, same thing happened to him with Metal Gear.

I don't know much, be for what i see, he seems to really like the characters he voice acts. At least he will always have medic.

Is he a real big meanie IRL?

>>389057283
It's like Kingdom Hearts but gorier.

>>389056276
Well, that kind of sucks. I think it's still possible the voice in the trailer is a placeholder though. Suda is super close to his fans too so I don't think it's impossible he'll be brought back if the fans make enough noise about it.

>>389056276
Meh, I'll have to play it in Japanese for the Monokuma segment anyway.

>>389056276
Fuck. I love Robin Atkin Downes to bits, but that strike is garbage. VAs don't deserve royalties; devs do. Performance definitely does matter, but not more than the performance of those that actually make the games. Fucking hurts though. Loved him as Travis and in Asura's Wrath

>>389058391
I mean, I hope there's still time. Pretty sure he didn't voice any of the trailers for the previous games either. I don't know the terms of the strike, it may simply be impossible for them to reach an agreement.

>>389056276
Meh. VA Strike is dumb. & I kinda liked the Trailer voice anyway. Not more but not less either.

>>389056276

Uhhh no, not really. Just do your damn job. I hate this shit.

>>389059875
This. Robin is obviously better but we'll live.

oof Nakai was worse than I remembered
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF-CupYyiFQ

So what are the terms of the VA strike anyway? We don't get Downes unless he gets royalties, or do we not get him period until the entire industry agrees to their bullshit terms?

Also, if he really does love the character what's the extent of what he can do to not make Suda's profits go into the red numbers? Can't he settle for a tokken royalty of .00005% of the game's net profit or something?

>>389057283
Funny because you're going to suck Kingdom Hearts 3' dick because you're a sad Sonybot.

>>389056276
New guy is fine.
This is a good thing because it gives this new dude a chance to get his leg in the door. Who knows, he might surprise everyone and be more fitting for Travis.

>>389061241
And at least this isn't like MGSV where the new VA isn't even trying to sound like the old one. This new guy sounds pretty similar.

At least let's bring him back for the real NMH3 (if this one isn't NMH3)

DESTROYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

>>389060929
Some are asking for royalties.
Some are asking for ridiculous amounts hourly.

The fact is, most video game VAs already make over 100k a year. Out of anyone in the studio, they're the most paid behind the director (and sometimes they make more) and maybe the producer (though only if the game is self published). Publishers don't count, that's a different beast entirely because they're funding the whole thing.

In short, they think they should make more than the director. They want to make that sweet anime idol VA big bux like in Japan.

>>389061336
How can you tell? The only reason we had to wait for Downes to confirm it wasn't him is because you can barely hear the VAs over the trailer's soundtrack. It sounded off to me from the get go.

>>389056276
>Extremely disappointed
If they don't want to lose roles then they'd cut the shit and stop whining about wanting to get paid more and hiding under the performance matters line. The new guy sounds fine too, so whatever. Its a shame, but that strike is such bullshit.

>>389056276
woah woah woah, what?

That almost ruins the game for me if he's not voicing travis

Agent 47. They recasted David Bateson when they first casted some other guy for Absolution.

>>389061562
This
Why do you think no one in the performance matters strike is telling people their yearly income after minimum expenses (travel and temporary housing, but housing should be 3 star hotel prices and travel should be coach plane plus budget rent a car prices, not the stuff they're actually doing like first class and 5 star hotels)?
Because they make a metric fuck ton. Hayter was literally paid over a couple million dollars for MGS4 but he's on strike too.

They think they should be making what a Hollywood actor makes when that's bullshit.

>>389056276
It's a shame but it's not the end of the world. Take DMC, they changed Dante's voice starting with 3 and a lot of people prefer how it is now so it could end up the same way.

>>389061729
Fuck off. Go suck his dick then, I hope that overpaid bitch never voices another character in the industry.

>>389061595
There was another trailer with fixed audio on Grasshoppers channel. The voice sounds similar & it makes why the track was loud because of the vulgar language NMH is known for.

>>389056276
So who the fuck is voicing the new Travis then? Surely someone would've posted on their social media feed by now. They list a voice production team in the credits but not who actually did it. Is this all place holder shit? I feel like RAD would have said if it was the strike rather than all this roundabout "let Suda know" stuff.

I personally as an actor would be willing to lower my usual fees for a title like this because it would mean a lot to me that I return.

If R.A. Downes won't play ball, I won't feel bad for him. If performance does matter, then you can handle this being comparable to your previous paycheck even if your modern paychecks are higher.

It's stupid.
English VA is a dying and overpaid occupation. The industry is shifting more and more towards monolingual audio in JP games. Even Fatlus was forced by Sega to break its boycot. There will be a few holdouts like Square but only those with money to burn.

Code monkeys get paid about as much as janitors in Japan. They deserve royalties, not random gaijin who yells swear words that make oobaeew Suda giggle.
And Downes is a faggot. His jewishness sunk any chance of TF2 expanding its brand.

>>389061931
The vidya industry should start hiring them for shovelware and give them percent based royalties so these faggots get a clue.

I think Downes is one of the best, probably the best VA in the western industry. Hell, maybe he, and only he, comes close to being worth what they are asking for, but fuck him, Suda's games barely ever turn a profit, he probably knows this. It's a dick move to try and turn his fans against Suda when he damn well knows he can't afford to pay what he's asking for.

>>389061931
>Hayter was literally paid over a couple million dollars for MGS4 but he's on strike too.
This actually happened because reprising a role consecutive times means your pay is compounded. SAG-AFTRA is retarded.
Hayter would've cost more in MGSV than genuine B-list actor Sutherland, that's why he was replaced.

>>389062394
This.
Jap VA tend to be much better since it's a more respected industry there.
And they already make way less than western VA (the only exception being idol VAs, which is usually reserved for one MAYBE two for larger budget anime to bring in their fanboys).

This same shit happened with Troy Baker in Persona. They raise their fees. They get replaced.

>>389062428
I agree, Downes is one of the only actors I actually like to hear. I also agree about the rest.

>Travis Strikes Again
>25th Ward remake
This is fucking great. Syndrome games translation when?

Wait, so that wasn't RAD in the trailer? Then who did they get cause he sound spot on.

>>389061368
I don't think a game with "No More Heroes 3" in the title will ever exist. For the longest time Suda said that Travis's story was done with NMH2, and now with this new game coming out he says the reason it isn't a numbered entry is that it's a new kind of story and a possible start of a new No More Heroes series with a direction that isn't about climbing UAA ranks.

As much as I did like 2 it was little more than a recycling of 1 without the same spark so a change of direction is welcome.

>>389062560

MGSV barely had any fucking dialogue compared to MGS4.

>>389063140
Huh. He does sound like Downes.
I guess it's not hard to find a soundalike. Downes is mostly hot air (he breathes a LOT) so if you've got that down, you're halfway there.

What crossover in this game would create the biggest shitposting streak?

>>389063140
Sounds similar enough I guess, though he lacks the dorky inflections that Downes does every now and then that go so well with Travis' character. Meh, I'll get used to him.

>>389063393
He doesn't sound exactly like him but it's by far good enough.

>>389063580
Yeah, agreed.

>>389063529
Dark Souls, i'd imagine

but it's not an indie title so idk

>>389053030
Finally found a copy of this in my local Gamestop. Am I the only one surprised that there's a sort of open-world in the game? I thought it was just gonna be about killing 10 assassins.

Game is fucking sick, though. Is a wii worth it for 2?

>>389063250
No shit. That's why Kief only cost half a mil.
VAs are paid by hour and Hayter's pay would've been HIGHER.
I suppose it's Konami's fault for making dumb spinoffs and rehashes like Substance, but what's done is done.

You're right though. Kiefer charges a flat $700k for any non-movie project. So while Hayter would've cost probably around $8m at this point, they got someone who was honestly better under 1/8th the cost

>>389063860
This. Though only undertale. There's no way Gone Homo would happen without Travis shitting all over the game and its "message", which I doubt the developers of said game would be ok with.

>>389063697
They took out the open world in 2, it's just direct links of names of the locations you can access, press it and you're there inside
You'll learn to love it, open world in NMH was great, but it really was kinda unnecessary and 2 shows you that
Personaly I think both are great, 2 is a bit more refined, if you liked 1, you really should play 2

>>389064063
>>389064230
NMH2's menu fucking sucked. It just made the game feel smaller and more cramped. The open world in 1 wasn't anything to write home about, but it was kind of interesting your first playthrough of the game, when you collected those ball things.

At least the NMH2 world menu theme was pretty nice.

>>389064230
I like open world and freedom in games so that's why I'm biased, yes it was empty and pointless, but for me it's always a plus if the game has some freedom within
When I played 2 I was a bit dissapointed cause I wanted to see how Santa Destroy changed, but then I realised it would be a pain to drive up all the places again when all I wanted to do was to go to the next assassin stage

>>389063910

Hayter joined in on the fun

If we're going for pure popularity, Undertale would be the pick but I don't know about all that. I can see the genocide approach to it, but I don't know how things would go. We'd see the game sell more copies, and that's something I want for Suda. I think it could prove interesting, but I bite my tongue saying so.

Shovel Knight is a great idea, and people are all about that.

Hotline Miami was a perfect, clear match. But what else can really say that?

My last nod would be Broforce due to devolver and the over the top violence. But who the hell knows.

Also, Shank was a thing. Wonder if that would ever happen. That or Guacamelee.

Also, best track is here to get you through the wait.

"Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is a raucous 3D action title, where Travis touchdown wields the Beam Katana to massacre his way through countless enemies, taking on ferocious bosses in an epic battle with Badman. This marks the first time in ten years that Goichi “Suda51” Suda has taken on the mantle of director."

I don't see how it doesn't make any sense. No More Heroes is a satire on the gaming industry and gaming culture; something which NMH2 did away with and as a result almost ended up becoming the very thing that the first game would regularly take the piss out of. It being too much more of the same made for a good game but an ungraceful sequel and this to me seems like a much more interesting direction.

Travis' story ended with the second game. To be fair, you could say it ended with the first game. It only made sense to bring him back if it was something more drastic, and something like "Travis fucks up a bunch of real games No More Heroes-style" is about one of the few things that makes sense in the context of the series. I'm sure Suda would've done something like this years ago but couldn't because publishers were still too protective over their franchises and indies weren't big enough yet.

>>389067547

#PerformanceMatters is a VA strike he's part of, and they want royalies depending on how the games sell.

This isn't even Downes-syndrome getting fired. He just wasn't hired for this part again.

Grasshopper, Marvelous and Rocket Sound aren't part of the SAG-AFTRA Strike. If they're going with a non-union VA it's entirely because of budget, and Suda has said the game isn't on as big of a scale as recent Grasshopper games.

He probably commands a few mil now. Back in 2008 and 2010(2011?) he wasn't nearly as big and didn't get nearly the paycheck. If he really wanted to reprise his role, he would've taken a smaller check. It's a pretty small series, not like they can shell out that kinda dough for voice acting. It's like Daniel Craig. He did the US version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Smaller movie, didn't do very well, but did JUST well enough to get a sequel with roughly the same budget. Well, Craig did Skyfall and felt like he deserved a much bigger paycheck for girl Who kicked the hornets nest, even though he knew they didn't have the money for it. As a result, they're skipping over books 2 and 3 and going straight to 4. Same story, different industry

Doubtful. I think it's more likely that they simply pay for time in the booth. Whether or not they use the (what's the best term for "footage", but audio?), they always have the option to rerecord dialogue.

>>389056276
I love his voice and I'm really sad he's not going to be Travis, but voice actors who aren't doing mocap shouldn't be so greedy when the developers do all the real magic. They could be replaced by grunts and text zelda-style and the game wouldn't lose all the elements that make it great.

>>389070659

I was part of the Union at my former job. Had to pay union dues, was forced to join by my conpany. I got wrongfully terminated, and the union didn't do anything. They sided with thr company they had a contract with.

Trust me, you aren't any worsr off

>>389071430
I'm not saying they were, but games like Shadows of the Damned, Killer Is Dead and Let It Die were clearly made on a much bigger scale than NMH was.

>>389071413
Drumming up the VA = character card? Feeling kind of like how Hayter did during MGSV? I get why the strike is a thing but none of these companies were ones that were struck. If it was simply because of a strike, he probably would've said it upfront, but in this case he just wants people to let Suda know they want him back.

>>389071093
This is true. SAG-AFTRA is only going after certain AAA publishers. Ubisoft (which handled NMH and DS) is not one of them.
https://www.sagaftra.org/files/whywestrike.pdf

Downes is literally sperging out and using the strike's hashtag to try and pressure fans to force Grasshopper to hire him back at his inflated rate.

It's campaigning on bad faith and I'd wager dishonest enough to make the union mad at him. Some vidya journo could make an article out of this.

>>389071465
Only big actors off the top of my head I know that care about the art as much as Keanu are Johnny Depp and Nic Cage. Johnny is about as close to being a method actor as you can get without living in character and will accept smaller checks for smaller productions or roles, and Nic just enjoys acting in general

Why were Alice & Holly such great tragic characters?

If they just made a new character with Travis' personality, you'd be calling them hacks for recycling old ideas.

Holly was tragic, Alice was just kind of retarded, but at least her fight was fun.

We thinking the same character? I remember Alice talking so calmly & burning pictures of her family & Margaret. Holly was my favorite out of the everyone from the first NMH.

>>389058424
Shit I hadn't thought about that.

>>389084540
Yeah, just saying that Alice didn't make much sense as a character. I get what they were trying to convey with her, but I just don't see what's the hold up. The only other assassin we met that wanted out of the business was Travis, and he did get out of it. Twice. What stopped Alice from leaving the UAA if she wasn't satisfied with the life of an assassin? Muh cycle of hatred?

At least Holly had the excuse of being clearly fucked in the head from what looks like PTSD.

>>389085035
>and he did get out of it. Twice.
>Twice

Right, he got out but the got pulled back in so that he had to get out again.

How do we know that Alice had never got out before? For all we know she kept getting pulled in for one reason or another like Travis did in NMH2 until she just gave up trying.

>>389085035
This
>>389086131

>>389085035
My headcanon is that Alice was in the same boat as Travis in the first game wanting to be number one for some untold reason related to Margaret, but when Travis kills her she loses all motivation. She was conflicted about quitting since she probably wanted to kill Travis as revenge even when she knew that Margaret was an assassin and that was the consequences of fighting a stronger opponent

Again this is my headcanon that is on the level of some shit tier fanfic but i thought about years ago

>>389086332
>Right, he got out but the got pulled back in so that he had to get out again.
Nope. The second time he merely went through the motions to get his revenge and then walked away freely. The closest he ever got to being stuck in the life of an assassin against his will was when the unnamed assassin at the end of the first game challenges him while he's taking a shit.

>>389086415
Eh, sounds farfetched, I think she was merely paying tribute to a fellow assassin that would otherwise be forgotten.

It's pretty obvious to me that she was stuck in the same mindset as Travis at that same point in time, she realized that the life of an assassin was seen as disposable for the entertainment of others and she was displeased with that. Just like Travis. Travis, however, had to play by those rules to get at the killers of his best friend. What was Alice goal? Why didn't she walk away? She even says she had wanted to meet Travis after making it to the first rank. Why? It makes no sense that she wanted to climb up the ladder while being against the system. She didn't really make sense, she was played up as tragic for the sake of being tragic.

>>389070546
It looks like he went to the VHS store and bought a random assortment of anime dubbed and distributed in the 90s. Which we know is actually what he does, so good attention to detail.

>>389056276
Oh for fucks sake. I mean I was actually fooled by the new guys performance since it was it was quite good but a part of me is really sad and pissed that this has happened.

>>389066105

>>389056276
I don't get it, why didn't they cast him as Travis again?

>>389090665

Both will probably ignore me. Or Robin will say 'I don't know' & Suda will be hush hush about it. & if the voice IS changed, there will probably be a joke in the game a about it. Maybe even a jab at the VA Strike or something.
