To the USA/english people: after watching the trailers, do the main LOST characters have voices recorded by the original actors?


...and WTF with these shitty Uncharted comparisons ruining threads lately... first TR Underworld, now this.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

I have a friend that's lightly scared of elevators that flew for the fisrt time two weeks after she started watching the series. She said she couldn't think of anything else besides that scene and really didn't enjoy the experience. :lol

It took me a few minutes to work what you were talking about then. Elevators that fly? ... Oh.

same with Gears comparisons everywhere in gaf a year ago ..

and from the trailer/vids no Matthew Fox didn't do Jack's voice and i think the rest of original cast didn't work on the game too..

You have to admit after playing Uncharted and seeing the screens in the jungle, the similarities are there when it comes to looks.

but its nowhere close to uncharted from a visual standpoint. Textures looks crap and blurry where uncharted has the best console textures. And its only one point...

 

[solid2snake]

will get the 360 version, if the reviews are neat.

 

[kbear]

Wow.. the graphics look phenomenal. It seriously gives an Uncharted vibe, although I doubt the animation will be as good.

Kind of off-topic... I watched the first season of LOST and really liked it. Then I watched like a third or maybe a half of season 2 and got bored of it. Is it worth catching up now (Season 4?)

 

[nelsonroyale]

I own uncharted. Thank you. The german interview footage looks pretty sweet.

eh I own it to, and Im still looking at pretty mediocre screens...the characters look pretty weak as well. On the other hand, it does look pretty good graphically considering it is a tie...

I dont like to pass judgement too harshly before a product has released, but I dont think I would get my hopes up too high on a series tie in

yes, very much so.

Yes, for the last stretch of Season 3 alone really. Had a great season 4 premiere as well.

 

[Shamrock]

Best TV show ever. If the game is at least decent, I'm in.

Bath scene and I'm sold:

Man I don't know if that is a in game screen or one of those "target rendors", but if thats in game then wow. I honestly thought that was her real life picture.

 

[kbear]

Can I just start with Season 3 or should i go back and find where i left off of season 2? i heard 2 was awful and from what i saw of it, it turned me off the series... the plot moved at a snail's pace, nothing really ever happened.

 

[Ether_Snake]

If people have to bitch and moan about which game looks better, than it means that considering this is just a licensed title they did a damn good job graphically.

Gameplay-wise tho...

There's no way you can skip a season, so much happens in this series that you'd be Lost beyond belief. It's a fucking rat's maze.

I hope GOW2 won't have open jungle environments, or it will be war :lol

honestly...did you watch the trailer....? the characters look pretty poor...thats a cg render

No, do not do that. Season 2 definitely picks up later in the season. You need to watch everything sequentially.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Yeah, I've been going back through the first three Seasons and every time I think I can just pick it up at a certain point in the season and then I realize "No, then I'll miss that part" and I always end up back at the pilot.

Damn it, Lost.

I want to watch the first 2 seasons again now SO BAD but I'm holding out for the blu-ray releases.

Fucking ABC needs to get their shit together.

Hey, it'll only cost you $206.92 for all three on XBLM!

IT'S A STEAL!

Has it been confirmed that they are coming to Blu-Ray?

I'm pretty sure there were some pictures of a Disney slideshow a few weeks ago that showed 2 different colored boxarts that weren't the S3 set with LOST printed on them.

 

[EricDiesel]

Can I just start with Season 3 or should i go back and find where i left off of season 2?

No, don't. You'll immediately be lost (hur hur) as to what's going on. Lots of stuff goes down in the finale. And you'll miss the Henry Gale story arc, which is one of my personal favorite parts of the series. Seasons 2 and 3 have some klunky episodes, but I think overall they redeem themselves.

Anyway, this game looks better than I expected, but I'm still being (very) cautiously optimistic. Wouldn't surprise me if it was awful. But I'm buying it either way because I'm a huge Lost fan and look forward to visiting locations from the show. They look pretty damn authentic.

Speaking of authentic, how 'bout them voices? Ahaha! Oh God. Locke sounds like Mr. Turtle from the Tootsie-Pop ad, and Sayid sounds like Sayid, if he were a flamboyant homosexual. Jack isn't too awful, though. And at least they got SOME of the original cast. Michael Emmerson is voicing Ben Linus and Henry Ian Cusick is voicing Desmond, as well as a few other characters. Oh well, I'll be entertained by the bad imitations.

 

[Dandare4444]

Bad Idea. Ya gotta watch them in sequence. Show's confusing enough at times without jumipng in midway

 

[eso76]

To the USA/english people: after watching the trailers, do the main LOST characters have voices recorded by the original actors?

no, i believe only jin, sun, Ben, mikhal (or whatever it's spelled) and a few other minor characters are in the game.
Main ones are "soundalikes" : \

Who knows about localized versions though ?

 

[dork]

Seeing how its the greatest show known to man, i will probably buy this no matter what the reviews are. I just hope they are at least decent

 

[eso76]

Funny, aside from brightness and a more colorful approach, i would say the differences are small.

LOST actually holds up remarkably well.

especially when you use actual ingame grabs for uncharted instead of AA'ed pr shots

*RUNS*

 

[GauntletFan]

Wow Lost looks really good in that shot above

 

[ZeoVGM]

Hey so, sorry to bump, but is this game looking good? I don't really trust something from GameSpot or IGN in terms of previews.

 

[Hammer24]

I guess no one in this thread really cares how good it looks. Its Lost, and the devoted fans (like me) will eat it up for the story tidbits no matter how jaggerific it might turn out.

And there you have it.

As a Lost fan, I'm somewhat interested. On the other hand, amnesia

I was amused when I saw him the first time on screen, "It's Hedgehog-Man from X3!".

As for the game, I remain skeptical. Gonna have to wait and try a demo before I decide on anything.

I doubt they will release a demo for it.....It'll be difficult to judge when there is no demo...

I don't know what that means, thank god.

I said :lol again.

Actually as i re-read this, i'm perplexed by your post?

Was this not compared to Uncharted?

Is Uncharted not the shit? Find me a bad review.

Yeah I'd say they got a lot to prove before they can hang with ND

 

[Soule]

Is Uncharted not the shit?

Uncharted Defense Force? Hmmm save yourself some disappointment and don't venture into the DICE: AIAS Awards thread, Izumik has been defending it's honour stoutly but... the negativity be strong there.

Also, first time I've seen screens of the game, looks stunning

Card Carrying member sorry but it's the best game I played last year.

 

[itsgreen]

Waiting for reviews on this one, like Lost but got a feeling this is going to be a 5.5 kind of game...

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I said :lol again.

And I was as surprised as you are.

But in all honestly, you'd figure the people who are so devoted to the game could do better than ":lol " when defending it.

 

[segasonic]

Man I don't know if that is a in game screen or one of those "target rendors", but if thats in game then wow. I honestly thought that was her real life picture.

you must be retarded, if you think that is an ingame model

 

[nli10]

Nah - the programmers made that 3D model for personal reasons. You know... Office morale and all that... 0_0

 

[eso76]

:lol comparing this to Uncharted.

Not that i really think lost will look better than uncharted ingame, but the pics look very comparable, it's not that funny.

 

[f@luS]

it doesnt
Textures are worlds appart, they are ugly in lost screens. seriously fugly. And you can not see the animation, special effects and other things in fixed screen, i think that in the end , it will be far less impressive than uncharted...

 

[le.phat]

amnesia ? how convinient :lol
knowing that they would never have the main story spoiled or tied in in any major way this will probably feel like a bad stand alone episode. i'm a lostie through and through but this getting a big schrug from me *shrugs*

 

[ZeoVGM]

Uh.. There's nothing retarded about that. At all.

The animations in Uncharted werent very good. I know they used some fancy, super advanced system but whats the point when it looks worse than the competition.
