Destiny - Peter Dinklage Voice Comparison

P-Dinky's vocals in the Destiny Alpha got a lot of stick, so Bungie have had a tinker under the hood and altered them for the Beta. In this video we present the new and old, side by side, so you can decide which one you liked the best! R.I.P "That wizard came from the Moon" :'(

Based on the comparison he didn't sound all that bad in either IMO. His voice kind of made me think of Ron Perlman's narrations for the Fallout series.

Sam Fisher4326d ago

Thats bad, anything ron pearlman is bad except soa

Mr Pumblechook4325d ago

I'm actually one of those who liked the voice in the Alpha - it sounded real and personable. Although a couple of lines sound overacted!

But the voice in the beta just sounds like it has been through a 1970s voice synthesiser. It's too gimmicky for such an expensive to make game. If there has to be a voice effect I'd like it a bit more real and subtle.

Cool video comparison though - thanks dude.

IndoAssassin4326d ago

Lol when will people realize that Alpha means not all the features have been implemented?

McScroggz4326d ago

The reason Alphas and Betas exist is for fan feedback.

McScroggz4326d ago

Better, but it still feels lacking. I know it's not a fair comparison at all, but after Borderlands and Claptrap you have to inject some sort of personality into your robot/AI characters. I admit I wish he would have read the lines as Tyrion Lannister. That would have been super entertaining.

Si-Fly4326d ago

Claptrap? Are you taking the piss?!!! One of THE most annoyingly voiced character in recent times lol

Chapter114326d ago

Doesn't sound any better if you ask me. Sounds like he's just phoning it in, waiting for his paycheck.

-Foxtrot4326d ago (Edited 4326d ago )

As I was saying on another article which I don't think got approved (We'll see)...it seems like the voice effect is just covering the problem up, not fixing it

Didn't they say he was coming in to redo lines? For the guys who created someone like Cortana this is pretty disappointing, with their tec in that universe why would an AI sound more robotic.

McScroggz4326d ago

I have no idea whether or not that rumor was true or if it's feasible, but I honestly hope he does. Dinklage is such a good actor, I want it to show in his performance.

gamegenieny4325d ago

This. It isn't different. Just sounds different cause they ran the VO through a sound changer ....

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast626d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole626d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_626d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981626d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140626d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85626d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj626d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman626d ago (Edited 626d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake626d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn626d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg626d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07626d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom626d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac626d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake626d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark626d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde626d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125626d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
