Accents

What? No Cockney Chimney Sweep accent... well I guess there's always DLC.

"Blimey! There's an awful lot of blighters near our command post!"

He he, I don't think I could take someone seriously if I heard that in the game. " Aww funny sounding british guy, you go ahead and blow that door open :3 <3 "

I'm a teeny bit disturbed and worried that I heard no Hispanic or latin accents at all in video or in blogs or anything. The only thing remotely close was the video like a year ago with a guy saying " Mucho bad guys coming " but even his voice had no trace of an accent or anything, sounded much more like a white guy than a hispanic.

Your character will automatically say lines, such as "Enemy spotted" and "I need a Medic" and "Oh Jesus Christ, there's a sticky grenade on my face".

Now you just pick what accent you want to say them in, Whether that be English, Jamaican, or Derpy Lisp.

I'm going for Derpy Lisp, j/s.

Actually the usage of the soft pallet in English, Irish, Scottish, Australian, even some American accents follow them (Southern and New England) have similar speech patterns. The Largest difference is Tonality, Resonance, Inflection, Syntax, and Cadence. One can easily slide into a Southern to an English, to an Irish. (I've never heard a Scottish one but I'm sure I could do it if I heard it.) Also just to prove my point if you listen to an Irish, American, and Italian opera singers they will have the same tonality while singing and you wouldn't be able to tell which country they are from just by hearing their singing voices. I just throwing that out there, I do accents all the time, and have studied under a classically trained director. So I do know a little bit about this topic (Not much but a little.) Also I'm not saying that any one accent is better or anyone group of people are better I'm just stating that Geologically the area isn't very far apart and the speech patterns do not vary all that much.

If there's no Canadian accent I'm going to murder someone. Probably Wedgwood because he lives the closest. :whistling:

Yeah, loving the whole accents thing, just like in saints row, but dear god I hope they get the British accent than that one. The novelty wears off quickly.

And I hope they have some sort of hispanic accent too, if not, that'd be a majorrrrr whole.

I hope there's a Hispanic / Latin accent, too. (I'm a Hispanic myself). There should be, since we Hispanics are currently the largest minority in the United States, especially in
certain states. ^_^

For my scrawny white medic I like the idea of a Jamaican accent coming out of him. I would like for him to speak like Wakka from FFX.

One of the faces I remember them going through was noticeably Asian, so I'm hoping they have at least one....oriental accent. And not lame "herro Can I take your ordah" accent. But a legitimate one. Like Ken Watanabe! >D

I believe that would be better as simply the Patrick Warburton Pack.

I reckon there should be some sort of Middle-Eastern accent, as well as a Hispanic one and maybe Italian.
