First 5 Minutes of DUBAI (Gameplay) - Discussion

Ah, wasn’t paying attention to his words, just thinking he talks a lot :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, this caught my attention (and bothers me) as well. I mean there are bound to be international guests and staff, and you could technically justify Al-Ghazali not having a regional accent by having him studied in the US (or having a private tutor), but it is concerning and has significantly hampered my expectations in this regard…

Btw, is the bloke voicing Al-Ghazali the same one who voices the Ark member at the start of Sgail? (the one welcoming the patrons - though he certainly voiced other characters I can´t quite remember rn)

It’s the generic actor they use in pretty much every level. Whittleton Creek party guest + I think Politician, Miami upstairs researcher, Ark Society dude, blah blah

Yeah, thought so… Plus the first guy you hear is the generic English dude who voices probably even more characters. I´m starting to get allergic to those voices…

hm? they’re reusing the voice actors for Mumbai (at least, one of them). we heard it back in the VR Announcement trailer. so, yes, there are accents

are we 100% sure you cant just walk through the curtain? :stuck_out_tongue: i feel like we would only need to press the prompt if we wanted to change suits. and if we wanted to stay in the HALO suit, we would just walk through the curtain

yeah… i feel like there’s something they still havent shown us. i think there might be another cutscene or portion before the opening cutscene they uploaded that they cut out

Or! It could be that this mission is highly personal for both 6 and 47 and maybe they want to be in on this together since it has been their life goal since they were kids.

That or they yeeted Diana off the boat somewhere near Bahrain and her body was found by some now traumatised pearl diver. That bitch took the last can of Coke on the ship.

Timecode? I just rewatched it and couldn’t hear any Middle Eastern accents

the lady that starts talking on the right

its very faint but you can make out that it’s the same lady that voices a ton of people in Mumbai

Yeah, seems to not be Middle Eastern

i think you misread, we’re talking about how Diana is talking in Dubai. not that she’s absent

I assume she is talking from the boat or wherever she is right now keeping watch on the both of them but not interfering in their bro time.

Still Indian if I heard correctly…

Is it me or is it odd that IO hasn’t even shared this video on their social media?

So not Middle Eastern, the section of world we’re actually playing in, like I said…

Or are you saying Indians and Middle Easterns are the same you RACIST!?

I’d like to see the Inventory menu and if they’ve reworked its navigation (likewise for main menus).

Given the sheer amount of items available for 47 to access and carry, simple horizontal scrolling is not the way to go.

they have similar accents :grin: not the exact same, of course, but they can always tweak their accent a bit and it will sound similar

The UAE is home to a significant population of Asian workers including South Asians, many of who are treated poorly. Also the proper demonym is Emirati.

You right but it can be a old build of the game. At the end of the day you just want to see new gameplay mechanics and locations. I suppose that the UI and all that stuff can be changed without any complications. Anyway we’ll see everything when the game is available.

The UAE have a large Indian population, so IO could quite easily get away with having the Mumbai voice actors, but yeah, no Arabic accents…

In IO´s eyes, the French, Italians, Arabs (Moroccans), Thais, and Japanese are the same :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I´d say they´re quite distinct, but I do agree a tweak might do the trick.
