Peter 'Tyrion' Dinklage to re-record Destiny lines

UPDATE from Eurogamer: "We've edited the story to better reflect Bungie's note that the Ghost dialogue has been updated, rather than re-recorded."

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...eter-dinklages-lackluster-destiny-performance

They are re-recording all his lines based on "that wizard came from the moon" Alpha feedback.

I would like to urge Bungie to re-record the MP / Crucible voice-acting as well as it's actually the worst performance (this from a different actor).
 
Fix the script too

I can't even imagine Jen Taylor (Cortana VA) saying "That wizard came from the moon" with a straight face.
 
it had its low-fi charm, but i'm glad they're rerecording it based on feedback. hope it isn't too theatrical, though.

Yeah, I mean if something sounds "off" to people, than that's normally a bad thing regardless of what's being voiced. Glad that's being altered, but honestly I would have been good with just that voice filter that you can hear in one of the trailers. (I'm sure it will be in the full game)
 
I just watched that "wizard came from the moon" clip. So that's what the hubbub was about? Is it supposed to be that bad on purpose?
 
They never said it's be rerecorded, just updated. The robot filter that was used in the E3 trailer wasn't in the alpha, for example.
 
Don't know what is wrong in that phrase... it lacks context but is already known that the Moon is like a prison... so I don't see what's the problem with it.

But when he said that I felt the urge to say,"Fuck yeah that wizard came from the moon!".

My bet is that they add a robot filter plus a frequency shift to the speed of the delivery.
 
Nothing wrong with it to begin with. The internet loves to cry out about bad acting, regardless of the quality of the acting
 
I don't think the that wizard came from the moon was badly voiced, just poorly written. The line that is voiced really bad is the it's the hive line.
 
Eurogamer is confusing the facts. It doesn't say anything about having Dinklage rerecord lines. Reading and understanding is fundamental, you know, before turning it into an article.

It just says the dialogue will be "updated", presumably with filters added and whatnot.

Also this that one is a bore overall and nothing compared to even what halo had. Though i didn't play mutch Halo expect Reach i did love the VO there Killtacular! Killamanjaro!
 
If you actually read the Bungie site, they do not once mention Dinklage. I doubt they're going to try to rehire him and literaly try to direct him to get a different reading out of, " That wizard came from the moon." Not saying he won't, but don't expect for anything more than a filter.

Pre-order cancelled if they remove that line.

I thought he was fine, it was just missing effects on top of it to make him sound like an actual robot.

Exactly what I think. They won't be re-recording him, just post processing.

A robot filter should sort the issue, seemed weird the Robot had a normal human voice.

They should have used stephen hawking for Destiny (no I am not joking)
 
THEY ARE NOT RERECORDING IT

This doesn't seem to actually be any new concrete information. We already knew that the dialogue was getting updated. Eurogamer has just assumed from that information that this means Dinklage is rerecording his lines....I see no confirmation of that. The update could be as simple as a robotic filter over the lines, or alternate takes that have already been recorded. They don't even mention Dinklage's involvement - he could be cut entirely for someone else. This is just jumping to conclusions.

The actual line is pretty unproblematic its more to do with the fact that 99% of his dialog just sounded like phoned in dead pan trash and game of thrones clearly shows he can do better. I know they like to say it's a game on development but I really doubt that without all this drama they would have rerecorded his lines. Someone in bungie give the VO on the alpha a seal of approval.

Yeah it's probably just the filter. You can hear it in this trailer, but it wasn't present in the alpha.
