Does Gran Turismo 5 need a voice actor?

[Nightingale]

I dunno how I feel about having the pit crew talk to you, but I think it'd be pretty awesome to have your driver say "Oh cock." everytime you go off the track or bump into someone.

 

[ccxftw]

I think that GT5 should have something similar to rFactor, where your "pit crew" tells you lap times and sector times. It would also get rid of another part of the HUD which is a plus in my opinion.

 

[sumbrownkid]

^No the sector times should stay visible in the HUD, it wasn't really a distraction to me. Besides, what other way can deaf people know their times in GT5?

 

[Crashbroke23]

Exactly.

But if there was a voice actor, I'd probably choose Martin Brundle or maybe someone else from the BBC's F1 coverage.

 

[Worst_Driver]

Arnold Schwarzenegger , Sylvester Stallone or Mr. T .
No but joking aside I don't think it would be something useful to have. It is can be annoying as hell sometimes so I would rather don't have a voice. Something like a pit crew communication voice would be nice.

 

[alba]

like the nfs shift thingy when you get off track "You shouldn't do that again" or something

 

[zazaza]

No no no and no. 👍
Voices would be great only from the co-driver in point to point rallyes and from the pit crew. Other voice coments are a waste of time, there are more important things.

 

[Bogie 19th]

NEED? No. I will turn it off if it does. I will be turning off the actor in FM3.

 

[Masi_23]

I would love Jeremy Clarkson, James May, or Hammond!

"POWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Does Gran Turismo 5 need a voice actor?

No 👍

 

[DaddyVDUB]

NO, Was the most annoying thing about FC,till I turned Tiff off.

Jay Leno is the chosen.

Gran Turismo is coming to the PSP on October 1, and players will immediately recognize the distinct voice of Jay Leno in the game’s introduction. Correspondent Audrey Cleo meets the late night legend for an exclusive Qore interview from his world famous garage. From his first ’55 Buick Roadmaster to the ’09 Corvette ZR1, don’t miss this look a Jay’s amazing collection.

If you can disable the voice actor thing, GT5 needs a voice actor...

 

[lildomplaya]

Drift mode!
For D1 comps

 

[tfujiwara]

Jeremey Clarkson is best.[/end]

Can you imagine what he will say when you buy a car??

*buys cheap purple miata* [clarkson] "are you gay?!?!"[/clarkson]

*buys a brand new TVR Sagaris* [clarkson]"awesome choice!!!"[/clarkson]

 

[Maggot666PL]

We need Mr. T.

Stay on the track, fool!

But really - no matter who did the acting, just make it an option to turn the thing off.

 

[L8 Apex]

I wonder if the NASCAR events will have both spotter and crew chief audio. [/thinking out loud]

Of course, I can certainly do without voiceovers.

 

[NLxAROSA]

~> I vote for:

- Don LaFontaine (the movie voice guy)

I don't think Don will be doing any voice acting anymore, he died in September 2008.

 

[NicoloPicolo]

RIP Marcel but you were the best for this job

Jay Leno is the chosen.

In this video we can see Jay Leno in the recording sessions of the descriptions of the license tests for the PSP GT.

[Snaeper]

Are you all daft? As someone stated earlier, the Stig will be reprising his voice over duties for GT5, as he has been the voice actor of choice for the GT franchise since day 1.

Otherwise I'd do everything the voice tells me to if it was a posh, sultry and British female voice.

 

[Dan Hill]

I think the Top Gear boys would be great. I can see the lines now
Pooooooowwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeer
Thats not gone well
How hard can it be etc

 

[ralph89]

Since GT5 will have official WRC, voice over from co pilot is important, for navigation.

 

[TeamStig]

Jay Leno. That's great! I hope they bring him back for GT5.

 

[Antti-san]

Wow, Jay Leno! Who would have thought it?

 

[TorqueHappenS08]

Jay leno is a car god.

It's a honor to have him in anything GT. Hes the american version of jeremy clarkson.

Except not as outrageous and politically incorrect. But yeah, close enough

 

[Joel]

OH MY GOD! I laughed so hard at that video, "slow in, fast out" Just like makin' love". That was Hilarious! I never pictured Jay Leno to be a "that's what she said" kind of person.

 

[JohnBM01]

I'm going to say no here. One problem is in who you pick to represent a voiceover. Take some Codemasters games from the past here in America. We could listen to Steve Soper or somebody for "ToCA World Touring Cars," but we get... Ned Jarrett. Not to mention the game being renamed to "Jarrett and LaBonte Stock Car Racing." How in the holy hell do you make a parallel between stock car racing and touring car racing? To make things worse, Ned Jarrett's voice is the voiceover for America's Colin McRae Rally 2." But when it comes to NASCAR racing 2003 Edition, somebody else supplemented the voice. I think some non-American developers must think that we only care about a racing game ONLY when a star from NASCAR or somebody is featured.

But as an afterthought... imagine the Top Gear crew supplementing their voices to GT5. All bets are off in finding out what Jeremy Clarkson would say in the game!

I laughed at that too. It's going to be very strange hearing humor like that in a Gran Turismo game, let alone a license test! I'm looking forward to it.
