RE5 : Weskers death

[Skunky]

He was? I don't remember that bit...
I was actually replaying some UC yesterday. It was the 1st time I've played it for ages and I really found it quite enjoyable.
It was the 1st time I'd switched on my Wii for ages too.

Nicholai was also in Outbreak and mentioned in Survivor. So technically he's been in 3 games

I ignore both of those games, to be honest...they're spin-offs.

Wesker Transformation

Yes it would seem as thought wesker will could very well transform in RE 5. Not only because of his voice actor speaking of "altering his voice", but also because at a scene at at the end of the umbrella chronicles. After defeating sergei vladimir, wesker talks about how sergei's personality seem to have distinguished his transformation( thorns being his key trait). Wesker then wondered how his transformation would play out when the time came. By the way, on the subject of tragedies does anyone else find it a bit sad that they did not let Richard Waugh return as Wesker's voice in Umbrella Chronicles and 5? To me, he will always be the true voice of wesker.

Yes Sergei refers to Nicholai by his codename "silver fox" in UC. So it seems that Nicholai's report in Resident EVil Survivor was proof that he was alive afterall, not that anyone really considered that game canon anyways until the RE 0 confirmation.

Sergio Jones >















Richard Waugh

You would prefer Sergio Jones over Richard Waugh?

Yes Richard Waugh is a poor intimation of the original his voice dips out now and again although he got a lot better since code veronica the original Wesker was more American sounding.

What's the deal with Capcom getting different people to voice the same characters? I hate that.

Same here, it gets annoying. A good example would be Rebecca Chambers, her voice in the REmake was good, but then in Umbrella Chronicles it was horrible. I think they have done a fairly good job with Chris though, the new voice actor for him doesnt sound that much different from the one in REmake.

I was reading an interview recently where they asked Richard Waugh(wesker's voice in cv, 0, 4) why he had'nt reprised his role in umbrella chronicles. He said that he would have loved to reprise his role, but capcom made a descision to no longer use union voice actors, thus all the poor voice acting in chronicles. Apparently richard waugh had even already recorded all his dialogue for umbrella chronicles before they made the choice not to use him. I know not all of you agree that he was the best voice actor for the part, but I still wish they would have used him for RE 5, it's kind of sad that wesker's likely last game will be voiced by this new guy.

Richard Waugh actually said that he thought the whole thing was hilarious because apparently the game develepors told the new voice actor to "imitate richard's voice", but I suppose we've all gotten use to the deep prestige voice. I wonder why they didn't just replace richard with peter jessop (the voice of wesker in the remake), I thought he sounded a little similiar. At first I thought the umbrella chronicles voice actor was 47 from the hitman series but i was mistaken.

I also hate when they change the voice actors and wish they could keep them the same like Metal Gear Solid does. Chris's VA changed in every game he has been in fact I think he has a different VA from the one that was in the E3 2007 trailer.

[REmaster]

Ha that wouldn't suprise me.

[kevstah2004]

By the time Richard Waugh did the voice re was an already established series "bigger budget" all of the original actors where untrained no namers which is why re1 came over as looking like a cheap b movie when Sergio did the voice he was stepping into the unknown you can't really judge him against Waugh fearly not to mention the script was poorly translated to english by Barry Gjerde.

[REmaster]

agreed

[TheBatMan]

There is still a trailer for UC where u can hear a line of dialogue by Richard Waugh that never made it into the final game.

But the most annoying thing about changing Wesker's voice actors is you can't tell now weather Wesker is British or American? The original RE1 and Remake he had an american accent but in all others he has a british accent.
