-CM-Mecra Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 With Cy and the new Corpus captains, they all have these weird pauses between their words. It's just like that flame grineer with his speech impediment. I just want CY to spit it out instead of taking 10 seconds to what should only take 5. The speech pattern doesn't invoke seriousness or awe or anything. It's just damn annoying waiting for the character to finish their sentence.

PunishedWelfare Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It sounds like Cy's voice actor had a stroke since the last recording session. And it looks like they tried to make this new quest longer than it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer-. Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 They talk slow to allow slow/tired players to keep up, me I have subtitles on so don't really hear them much. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokie155 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 At this point I assume it's because something went wrong with the lip-sync, because it still looks really awkward even with the enunciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham_Grenabe Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Somebody in the scriptwriting department thought it was more dramatic to. Speak. Very slowly. With downward. Inflection. On every phrase. They were not correct. But nobody tells anyone "no" at DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract7777 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Not going to lie, I DID notice it, and was kind of jarring, but at the same time I don't entirely mind it either... idk I'm torn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcrimsonlegendx Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Can't say I've noticed this they sound fine to me. With the exception of Cy, that's just his quirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Well, there's this thing called punctuation. It does translate to speech. You dont ask someone a thing and then ask again not even a breath later, you wait a bit for a response. When taking in information and giving a heads up to your team, you dont say "TORPEDOSREADYLCOKEDONFIRE!", you give a warning in a way that is comprehensible and doesnt show you are losing your head and kill morale, because the Corpus need all help they can get because, as one of them Fighter pilots said "We are not equiped to take on a Railjack!".

0_The_F00l Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It is noticeable , but its not really too distracting in my opinion. If i was to guess DE made everything run at 0.8 speed so that they could slow down the missions even further, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Ravenger-MRIB Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 For Cy it works because that's sort of been his thing from the beginning, and I can only imagine the thought process behind the Corpus having a similar inflection was to emphasize that "they're people, but they're very robotic and analytical in their mannerisms and speech." You can see it with the other named Corpus characters, but I don't think they did that great a job with it this time around. Not terrible, but it probably could have used a bit more direction and polish, but with the current state of things it's somewhat understandable. What I really wish they'd stop doing is trying to make every good character a quipping, discount Marvel character. I was happy for the introduction of Cy because for once we had what seemed like a purely serious character, a Cephalon that you didn't immediately want to mute, and yet with this update it's all; "5 is the worst by the way", "pants crapping has commenced", and "Jamming drones... Yay". Humour repeated ad nauseam isn't endearing, it's insufferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Dex Xean Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I figure it was a corpus culture thing I was meh on the problem. Was a bit odd to hear the tiny bit of pauses but meh again since it does not really do anything to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham_Grenabe Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 There's one explanation that might, if you're willing to be generous, explain it - the Tenno speak 21st century English, and the Corpus have moved way past that primitive patois. So they're picking their way through it and speaking loud and slow because they think we're stupid and/or deaf. It's not the Corpus who are the problem, it's us. We speak an ancient language that everyone else is like, "Check out this fossil. They speak 'English.'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaggelos Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Meh, i dont mind, i like it. It also makes it easier to hear instead of garbled noise at x2 speed. To each his own i guess ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
