Telltale Games

Alcoremortis · 09/07/2010, 06:10 pm

I just watched a video of a Scottish guy reading Tycho's lines from the Precipice of Darkness games. Now, when I'm reading the comics, I hear a Scottish accent whenever Tycho speaks. It's weird.

Huh, so Tycho'll be voiced by Andrew Chaikin.

I'm not complaining.

There he is! Sounds fine to me. I pictured his voice slightly deeper overall, but it all works out since his voice goes deeper when he goes into "dungeon master" voice mode like I would have expected

I know the votes are pretty split on this issue, but I've always been *firmly* in the camp of "they sound just like Mike and Jerry."

I just created an account here solely to unleash my misery at their decision to go with Not-Jerry-Voice. Gaze upon my pain and despair!

Okay, maybe it's just me despairing.

I'm still glad he's in the game; the voice just feels...off...to me.

There's basically no way to make everyone happy with the voice for Tycho, since some people picture Jerry himself, and those that have never heard Jerry's voice or think of Tycho as his own character with his own voice, I'm sure have their own infinite number of other voices they hear in their head when reading. That said, given the near infinite ways that guy could sound when voiced, by and large people have been more accepting than I was expecting. I hope that even though it's not initially to your liking, you'll at least be able to appreciate it as an interpretation when you're playing the game, and don't spend the whole time grating your teeth or something

Rather Dashing · 11/09/2010, 11:16 am

I haven't really heard enough to go one way or the other on it, but the fact that the two sound bites we have don't immediately feel painful to my ears is a very, very good starting point. I'm pretty sure I'll at the very least tolerate the voice, and in all likelihood I'll really like it.

Jub · 11/09/2010, 11:26 am

Judging from the few lines in the trailer, I have to say Andrew does a great job voicing Tycho. I never really had a standard idea for how Tycho would sound while reading the comics, but I think he does Tycho's voice perfectly.

jeeno0142 · 11/09/2010, 12:09 pm

Personally, I don't really read the Penny Arcade comics that often. Now that I have seen the Poker Night trailer though, everytime I read one of the comics, it is in that voice. So for me, the voice is good.

koiboi59 · 11/09/2010, 12:36 pm

well he doesn't sound like i pictured him although in that scene he is sort of joking around instead of being angry and annoyed at gabe.

Nintomster · 11/09/2010, 01:21 pm

I don't mind his voice actually. It doesn't sound like what I read his voice to sound like (did that make any sense?), but it is still good. Perfect voice for me, can't wait to hear more of his lines!

koiboi59 · 11/09/2010, 01:30 pm

I like the voice, i just wanna seen with him being angry, like a strong bad vs tycho delema.

That happens. Those guys don't get along.

OttersPod · 11/09/2010, 02:22 pm

While not being the voice I hear in my head when I read the comic, I'm actually really enjoying how Tycho sounds. (Then again, I imagine Tycho with a Samuel L. Jackson-meets-American-Hugh Laurie-meets-Tim Curry kind of voice. I don't know how it works. It just does.) Like, it seems natural, and thank God it's not overly geekified and/or G4-ified. Not to mention I'm in the "Tycho Brahe does not always equal Jerry Holkins" camp, too.

By the way, did anyone else know that Andrew Chaikin/Kid Beyond was in American McGee's Alice? He was the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, and the...Dormouse, I think?

I can't even imagine how that combination would sound.

Too awesome. Headphone blowing up, universe tearing awesome.

spd12 · 11/09/2010, 04:47 pm

Yeah, I'll have to echo earlier sentiments about being surprised that what we've heard of Tycho's voice being so well received, but on my end it does sound very very close to how I pictured it.

I was infinitely curious how they'd have handled the voice when he was announced for this game, and I think so far you guys (or well, his voice actor) delivered from that one line in the trailer.
