i mean, yea sure. but you could say that of any game that has like updated content.
the ai voices, even though the voice actors were paid for explicitly training an ai, and to allow on the fly changes and extensive callouts, were a point of contention with a sizeable part of the comunity, so this seems like a good thing all around to me. the voice actors get work, the voice lines they replace stop having that ai inflection. a win win.
No-one else, or at least as high profile, was doing AI voicework in their games. Embark were essentially the first with The Finals.
One successful game/studio doing it opens the door for other studios to start doing it.
Doing pure ai voicework yea sure but paying them to do ts is still much better than just straight replacing them and i honestly dont see much difference to the female tiktok tts voice that was on every other video

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

I will buy it if they are all replaced.
I don’t like that they used them in the first place, but I’m glad to see this move. They certainly have the money.
To me this just feels like the next step of ‘shipping a game before it’s finished’.

I don’t understand how having situational voicelines, with transparency and the voice actors’ affirmative consent, would make the game “unfinished”.
Damage is done from my perspective. I won’t buy a game where they think they can use AI in place of people. Or that they can “fix it in post.”
You don’t buy a lot of games judging by the latter part of that statement.
From what I know they Paid the Voice Actors to make lines with ai Which is fine imho
They don’t seem to have gone about it in a bad way, but it still further opens the door to more icky practices.
So doing better than actual assholes opens the door to more icky practices?

I get your Point but I honestly think its fine if VAs were paid
In a vacuum, in this instance, I’m mostly inclined to agree.
It normalising the practice is what I dislike.
Doing pure ai voicework yea sure but paying them to do ts is still much better than just straight replacing them and i honestly dont see much difference to the female tiktok tts voice that was on every other video
Finally, a move in the right direction. But I wonder how long it lasts…
I wonder if they’re gonna do the same for The Finals as well
