German Voice Talent? Check this download

[Tikigod]

Here is a collection of recordings from my friend messing around in SH3. He thinks he is the next best thing to Jürgen Prochnow in Das Boot. He wanted me to post this to this forrum. He thinks he will be discovered one day for his authentic "german/canadian uboat captain" talent. He said he is willing to read any scripts if you would like to liven up the default sh3 robotic chatter. I think the way he says the stuff is actually pretty funny. I think there should be more of a navy laid back slang to the game...since you are with the crew and no ladies are around.....sh3 everything seems pretty clean and regimented...I kinda picture it more laid back with more charismatic captains demanding results. anyway check out all the sound files and post what you think. I wrote the translations in the filename.

If anyone decides to pursue this I think it should be called the Frustrated Uboat Captain with Incompetent Crew Mod

Here is the file:
Warning: Contains Explicit German Sailor Slang. With a foul mouthed captain and crew. German Speaking Children should have adult supervision before downloading this file.

Oh, come on!!! that is biased feedback....this post is for those who want TRUE REALISM....we all know there weren't female uboat captains or crew!!!!! so, you can't have an opinion in here!!! move along to the next post missy... haha...

It's really not that explicit, it just doesn't sound that authentic. I have often thought though that I would like to hear some more realistic german voices in the game... not that they aren't already... they just sound a little formal. I think it would be nice to have some different dialects, preferably nordic for a more authentic maritime feel.

Erm, nice try But I don't think it comes up to the already dissapointing original voices. This proves again that it's really hard to produce good voice art for such a game. Aces of The Deep had it, by the way, das Boot of course too.

Aces of the Deep change some speeches and it sounds better than the original monocord voice

ya the immersion would be great if once in a while you heard the sailors talking of girls, expericnes, shore leaves. But then the subgame would have to model crew compartments and what not so when u visit them u hear the crew talking.

What would be even cooler, say during cruise mode the talk would be of german victories, current events, girls, shore leaves, rumors, etc.. During surface attack and periscope attacK (when order battle stations) the crew would be silent and show discipline. The same during depth charge attacks, but some screaming and panic would ensure and that would just ROCK!! Total immersion...

Then lets say after the attacks and maybe during voyages home the crew would be configured to talk about what happened during the convoy attack and depth chrage attack. And songs and cheering would ensure. Wow that would be awesome.. Why cant developers just dedicate themselves fully to a "realistic" game simulation and include all the possibilities and realism that took place in a uboat...
