Troy: "What's it like working with Ken Levine? I always answer with 'I dunno, I'll let you know' because so far we're not working.We're playing we're having, we're in a sandbox." YES. This is the exact kind of experience entertainment developers should have! Video game development shouldn't be a boring job it should be a fun ride, because if that is the case the end result is so much better. Take notes, Activison/EA/any other game company. This is how you make a game.
Troy Baker he seems to be in every game these days, and I know why, because his voice is freaking amazing and mature as well as great acting and emotional tone.
That was pretty intense, I almost felt sorry for her for a second. Hope they can really show this sort of emotion on the face of the in game characters.
Wow so thats the way they used to make such a convincing emotional reaction on 02:45 !! she was okay to proceed this way but I still feel somewhat sorry for her. Courtnee have a wonderful voice its too bad she decided to stop acting :(
I like the side of voice acting that they show in this video. companies usually don't show this kind of stuff, but I like how they work with eachother and push eachother. I've never been a fan of Bioshock, but I might get it just to experience these amazing voice actors. Two of the sexiest voices I've ever heard.
God fucking damnit. The fact that they're this committed makes me want to howl with pleasure and rage at the same time. This is how perfection is made.
All this emotion and love is going into the voice acting that it's such a worthwhile buy just because of that. As I play the game I will remember the emotion and talent that is in this game.
@LucasAvatar He was trying to provoke Courtnee to get the emotional response they needed from her for a line. If you notice, she agrees to try letting Troy berate her a bit to see if that helps.
It's such a shame that Courtnee Draper decided to stop acting. Judging by what I've seen of her as Elizabeth, she could be one of the best video game voice actresses ever.
I just wish, or rather hope, they push the facial acting just a step further. During the scene where Elizabeth is asking Booker to "not let him take her back" I'd really love to see some more of that emotion Courtney is emitting to be seen on Elizabeth. The subtle twitches rather than broad general facial movements would be amazing. THis video was posted in 2011 so I guess we'll see. :D
She actually took that back, because of the positive feed-back from Bioshock Infinite, she has considering doing acting full-time while still getting her law degree!
Next time they need to get her that worked up again, Troy just launches full on into the Christian Bale rant. "You and me, we're fucking *done* professionally, man."
Don't feel too down. The game is still great and they do a lot of other fantastic voice acting but it is a shame that the particular scene we're talking about didn't manage to make the final cut.
@AnotherAddictedGamer well, of course it's not the most important thing, but try looking for KARA here on youtube. That video made me cry, and i'm sure the reason was the stunning and hiper realistic girl's expresions. That makes the difference in a way.
"We're not working,we're playing" Is that why the game has taken so long?! Too busy playing tag to work on the game? As in the words of Booker Dewitt: "THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!"
I hope Courtnee gets a big paycheck for going through something like that and not have the full extent of her work go into the game. That's some serious dedication! Still too early to say but I hope they do better with facial expressions for the final product.
The game is not finished. Elizabeth has no emotion on her face because they are not done yet. Remember the look of Elizabeth face from the first gameplay trailers....its' changed now, same goes for facial expresions....they are not finished yet.
I´m from germany and I have to decide if I will play the game in english or german. after I saw the video, I have make my choice. I have to play it in english. (I have no idea about the loca in germany) Why? Because Ken-fucking-Levine think that Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper are the best choice.
well if they were weren't having fun making the game then the game wouldn't come out as good because they get into making the game if they have fun and so they can make it better instead of doing it half ass like the other games are doing.
talk about over-acting. This is the problem with game directors: they have no filter or reference for good or bad acting. they just accept any performance that *looks* like acting.
Voice acting was very excellent. Too bad the dialogue wasn't as good nor did the characters talk to each other all that much. This video even says they didn't know what they were doing with the characters. They were no Prince and Farah nor Lee and Clementine. They didn't learn about each other, they didn't teach. If the devs had kept the narrative we saw in the video, I think it would have been much better.

2:30 and onward. Woah, that's the kind of feel I want to find in a voice actor.
That was pretty intense, I almost felt sorry for her for a second. Hope they can really show this sort of emotion on the face of the in game characters.
Wow so thats the way they used to make such a convincing emotional reaction on 02:45 !! she was okay to proceed this way but I still feel somewhat sorry for her.

Holy shit that yelling part
People are saying this is ridiculous but movie actors CONSTANTLY do this on set. It makes the performance better.
All this emotion and love is going into the voice acting that it's such a worthwhile buy just because of that. As I play the game I will remember the emotion and talent that is in this game.
god damn.. if other games had this quality of voice acting I would actually be able to give damn about the story.
October can't come soon enough.
Wow, that's some intense shit. But I guess that's why the voice acting is so God damn good in these games.
Ken Levine is a fucking genius. He is to gaming as Einstein is to physics.
This is what you get when people truly care about their product/project.
I love both of the Bioshock games, can't wait for this one. The voice acting will be top notch evidently.
This is seriously 1 of the best voice actor camera view ever! very very emotional how she almost cried for real! amazing! Game is going to be good to!
"Don't Fucking Laugh!!!!" I fucking lost it. I'm sorry Troy!!!!
@LucasAvatar He was trying to provoke Courtnee to get the emotional response they needed from her for a line. If you notice, she agrees to try letting Troy berate her a bit to see if that helps.
Damn, that gave me such intense chills... my eyes actually started to tear up a bit. Such awesome work they are doing.
2:45 That was fucking impressive!
i know what you mean, but that was pretty much the first layer of the game, and there's already been an entire year of development since this.
It's such a shame that Courtnee Draper decided to stop acting. Judging by what I've seen of her as Elizabeth, she could be one of the best video game voice actresses ever.
I just wish, or rather hope, they push the facial acting just a step further.

The subtle twitches rather than broad general facial movements would be amazing. THis video was posted in 2011 so I guess we'll see. :D
If I keep looking at Troy's face I'm going to die of adorable-overload.
Wow, what an incredible performance! Can't wait to play the game!
That's what Ken Levine has said in numerous interviews.
Wow! The level of depth they go to to get the right level of depth for the proper voice acting. Jesus. This game is gonna be good.
With such a great cast of characters, I don't know how you guys keep yourselves from making direct sequels.
She actually took that back, because of the positive feed-back from Bioshock Infinite, she has considering doing acting full-time while still getting her law degree!
Can't wait for this game.
Man hopefully this game gets more attention than Bioshock 2. Bioshock 2 just didn't seem to accumulate the amount of attention it deserved.
its only test right now, after the game release Elizabeth's face animations will gonna be better
Take it from an actor: that is what happens when you strike brilliance. Very rare, even for the best people out there.
God dam Troy has a good swearing voice.
Troy Baker is fucking awesome
Next time they need to get her that worked up again, Troy just launches full on into the Christian Bale rant. "You and me, we're fucking *done* professionally, man."
kinda makes you wonder how troy baker yells at ali henderson when they were playing as light and snow...
That's what I was thinking. It probably got delayed so many times because they're taking this as a fun time instead of actually working.
I think this is the only video on UA-cam that has no dislikes. What happens now? I've never experienced this...
Don't feel too down. The game is still great and they do a lot of other fantastic voice acting but it is a shame that the particular scene we're talking about didn't manage to make the final cut.
Calling it now, Bioshock movie in the next 5-9 years.
Damn. When he's cursing at her. I mean I know about this because actors and even directors do this to get emotion. But jesus.
It sure got the hate it DIDN'T deserve.
@power13 I think the voice recording came first, to make the lip-syncing easier, but I'm not sure.
3: 28 Troy needs a scarf, a plaid collar shirt, a T-shirt, and a leather jacket?
I want this game...i want it now!
And btw...nice motivation method lol
All that yelling at her....and the lines didn't even get used. that's the real sad part. berated and belittled for naught. Damn fine game though!
@cuoreviola89 maybe they haven't added the complete facial animations for that early demo. At least that's what i'm hoping...
@AnotherAddictedGamer well, of course it's not the most important thing, but try looking for KARA here on youtube. That video made me cry, and i'm sure the reason was the stunning and hiper realistic girl's expresions. That makes the difference in a way.
They really... I mean WOW... got into it.
"We're not working,we're playing"
Is that why the game has taken so long?!
Too busy playing tag to work on the game?
As in the words of Booker Dewitt:
"THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!"
I hope Courtnee gets a big paycheck for going through something like that and not have the full extent of her work go into the game. That's some serious dedication! Still too early to say but I hope they do better with facial expressions for the final product.
He would never look at you :(
The game is not finished. Elizabeth has no emotion on her face because they are not done yet. Remember the look of Elizabeth face from the first gameplay trailers....its' changed now, same goes for facial expresions....they are not finished yet.
Was the scene where Liz asked Booker he was right even in the game?
Which one is made first? The CGI or the voice recording?
This is the most British thing I have ever read.
I bet Troy felt bad.
it has only14k viewers what were you expecting?
Just wow.
OMG!!! is so perfect!!!
amazing
I need this game now!!! I mean I can hibernate until March right Inifinate and Me3 are good reasons to just sleep right?
I'm from the Netherlands and there is only 1 game I know that has dutch voice acting, but I prefer the english version.
The game is done, the next three and a half months before launch are purely for polishing it and bug fixing.
Does Ken Levine look like Steve Carrell or is it just me?
@QueenHyatt Oh, got it. That was very cool. Thanks for answering!
"you're a fucking child!" ...oooooh...
I´m from germany and I have to decide if I will play the game in english or german.
after I saw the video, I have make my choice.
I have to play it in english. (I have no idea about the loca in germany)
Why?
Because Ken-fucking-Levine think that Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper are the best choice.
The clip of Elizabeth in-game didn't match the VA's face at all... but good idea, nonetheless! lol
wow they did such a good job of catching facial features (sarcasm)
whats the actors name?
SAME HERE
The views on this are disappointing when compared to the other videos
well if they were weren't having fun making the game then the game wouldn't come out as good because they get into making the game if they have fun and so they can make it better instead of doing it half ass like the other games are doing.
@EHHNURGEE: Troy Baker.
very uncomfortable to watch, absolutely perfect!
Pull it the fuck together!
@cuoreviola89 The voice acting makes up for it 10 fold.
You use method acting? Isn't that... dangerous and hazardous?
@gritnom I'm sure they will.
@deaddude99 he has also been in numerous anime films
When Courtnee isn't doing voiceover for Elizabeth, she sounds kinda like Jennifer Laurence.
AND THIS GREAT SCENE is not in the game? CMON!
@Harelgur To get into character
no the guys married
Too bad that scene was never in the game, they put a lot of effort into it.
talk about over-acting. This is the problem with game directors: they have no filter or reference for good or bad acting. they just accept any performance that *looks* like acting.
@cuoreviola89 very true
complete lack of emotion on elizabet's face.
punch to the FACE
I bet the two voice actors are totally bumping biscuits :}
DEDICATION
sorry lets all cover up our own personal opinions!!!
"really go into her" lol
Ohhh, splendid voice acting *claps*
Kinda unsettling what they do to get it, but if it works then sure!
Voice acting was very excellent. Too bad the dialogue wasn't as good nor did the characters talk to each other all that much. This video even says they didn't know what they were doing with the characters. They were no Prince and Farah nor Lee and Clementine. They didn't learn about each other, they didn't teach. If the devs had kept the narrative we saw in the video, I think it would have been much better.
2:32, OH BOY, She didn't make the sandwich
There isnt enough emotion, jooooooooookes
Ken Levine looks a bit like Ben Stiller
