I like how the VOX even made its voice heard all the way to Xen, a completely different dimension. Nihilanth must be so confused that he's not the only one with a telepathic voice
Starting with the scientist on the platform and then cutting back to him gone is actually the most perfect scene and really sums up the amount of screaming and horror that is happening just off screen
@@SuperCatfire You are wrong. MarphitimusBlackimus said he used AI to clone the voices. Probably he used some software like RVC. Just read the full video description to confirm that.
To think, a lot of black mesa's personel last songs were all star before clocking into work considering the song was released right around the time this game is set, along with other gems from the year 2000
I commented first on the full cover (link in the pinned comment) but I'll say it again just in case: I've been working with VOX for the past 7 years and I've collected a lot of phrases, lyrics and words that are not present in the VOX folder of the game. I refrain from using AI so everything is done by hand and if my collection of songs can aid to build a stronger VOX model I'd be a very happy (free)man.
I imagine they just got a voice actor/employee to record a bunch of words, then slapped a filter over it. Why would they go through the effort of finding a good actual tts, if they're just gonna use prerecorded words anyway?
@@nixel1324 Possibly. It's been debated though not only if VOX was done with an actual voice actor or a TTS program but if a vocoder was used or not as well.
Something like this happening would even fit in the game, though. To suit the theme of a total breakdown. Except maybe have it sing "Daisy" like HAL9000.
VOX, I admire you showing off your newly-developed/discovered singing abilities, which are excellent, but don't you think this really isn't the right time, with aliens & chaos everywhere? That aside, great job Marph! I'd love to know what AI voice program/site/bot you used, it sounds _amazing._
@@lewdslurkeragent I guess cuz it's way easier to do this than spending 10000 hours listening and editing existing Vox lines to make it work. I personally love the AIs but it is true that it kinda simplifies what was once precious art. You can literally order an AI to paint like Picasso or make a "Frank Sinatra - My Way Vox cover" and it will do it better and faster than most humans.

Rest in Peace, Steve Harwell.
he may rest in piece 😢😢😢
Worst part is that it's lore accurate, as All Star released in 1999
_I weep_
Plus Half Life 1 is set somewhere around 1999-2000
@@OperatorMax1993200X, so it can be anywhere from 2000 to, based on the tech shown, 2005.

Pretty sure he heard it because of a teleporter in his chamber.
Black Mesa does a little trolling

This is exactly what the entry HECU team would do while overtaking the VOX system.
When VOX said Auuleegli-ers is gold... we felt that.
1:17 That green scientist in the back sure looks.... swampy... 😳
0:47 imagine this being the last thing you hear before your demise
I love even the tentacles shaking their heads (upper bodies?) in disbelief
Never knew VOX could sing so damn well
It could't.
I think it's a trick using AI.

Imagine bleeding out in the hot sun while snipers are hidden around, then hearing Smashmouth playing over the speakers just to rub it in.
That is pure art.

I hope so. As much as this "sounds" like vox, it's just missing so many qualities that manually done vox lines have.
@@El-Burritowould love to hear VOX sing Panama.
@@DVincentWeeeyeeeah, aaahuuuhuuhh (I'd love to hear that)
None of these Half-Life videos are machinima btw. MarphitimusBlackimus both lives and works from within the Black Mesa facility.
the way how the hgrunt's reloading and firing sounds were completely in sync with music is pure gold
Simply genius. Very well made, great job.
All that glitters is gold (source)
we makin it outa black mesa with this one 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
Question: do you know if the Half-Life VOX is based off any existing model? And if so which one it was?
At least one user on r/HalfLife tried tracking down the source of VOX's voice, with little success.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY RESEARCH FACILITY?!
Chickety China the Chinese Chicken my man.
H.E.V. scientists are like onions, they have layers
1:18 what the hell is shrek doing up there?
He's the G-Ogre that oversees the Resonance Cascade.
Thaw was scary
Lolol Fuckin died when I saw the scientist at the beginning caused himself to fall so he wouldn't have to suffer the VOX's singing.
It's cursed hearing the announcement system breath in
Thank you Mr. MB very cool
A long awaited banger video
God damn it, Marphy.
It had been ages since you last posted, and what do we get? QUALITY CONTENT.
Now this is real music, you can't deny it.. no.
you are not allowed to deny it.
GlaDos makes a song
Black Mesa VOX: Hold my text to speech.
This needs 280k views not 28k views
I 100% expected this to be a video about all the lines the Vox could say
Amazing work 👍
legend says it's also the combine portal code
Something like this happening would even fit in the game, though. To suit the theme of a total breakdown. Except maybe have it sing "Daisy" like HAL9000.
what a masterpiece.
"Orges are like test chambers."
"They stank?" "No" "Oh they make you cry!" "...Yes"
Wowwww. When he says "Mowwwowwwlld..." That was smoooth.
Of course the scientists would never have heard of the song.
VOX, I admire you showing off your newly-developed/discovered singing abilities, which are excellent, but don't you think this really isn't the right time, with aliens & chaos everywhere?
That aside, great job Marph! I'd love to know what AI voice program/site/bot you used, it sounds _amazing._
Amazing
Is this entire video just to show off how env_sound works in Goldsrc?
0:55 he made the right decision...
so no one gonna talk about Shrek running around in Black Mesa..
the lore is immense
How did you make the vox voice sound so good lol
I've been trying to replicate it for ages with no success
It's ai.

It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder!
They've assured the administrator that *nothing* will _g o o r o o o w n g_
Instant System Shock vibe
tbh someone probably would do this if they got into the controls for the thing during the incident
I can't believe this was in the base game!!!
Love it or hate it, bangs like a Resonance Cascade.
A resonance cascade? (pfft) Yeah, like that will ever happen! What a load a-
the black mesa announcement system doesn't need autotune!
Marph covered everything at this point.
Did anyone else see what ran across the catwalk in the background at the end?
Yes
Its pretty clear that the black mesa incident had an outside source.
the hecu shouldn't have been allowed to commandeer the vox announcements
This would be more scary then the rest of the timeline how intertwined it would be to Aperture.
an eye that plitters is guhhhh
Kinda similar to System Shock 2, where somebody hacked the AI XERXES into singing Elvis Presley for 3 hours.
1:17 he is coming after goverment man
I want to know what that thing was on the second floor bridge
The nihilanth had to use portal to hear all of this
damn.
lmao that shrek at the end, probably going to maul the hgrunt for trespassing his swamp
He's not in a swamp though
@@PrisonMike196 black mesa is worse than a swamp
@@haydolimposofficial Well, I guess it is
This is actually how the residents Cascade happened
The AI system stopped doing its job and everything went to hell

So epic lmao

Him.
0:55 I love how we don't see the scientist fall. It just cuts to the end of the sequence lmao
aw man if only Nihilanth was singing along it would've been perfect

Is this Wallace Breen??

Vox should be used to cover Idol from YOASOBI.

1:16 omg no, shrek is love, shrek is life again no please
Do you know who ate all the donuts?
Lmao
All-star?
Don’t you mean All-sun?
Love how even GMan is confused xD
Such a lifeless and monotone voice usually but god-DAMN can it sing!
Who made this voice? Someone know the actor?
