While the entire creative corps at Rockstar tends to focus on little touches, art director Rob Nelson gets the nod as the guy who holds the visual aesthetic in his head. Nelson's an industry veteran who's been with the company for eight years, with a hand in "L.A. Noire," of course, and last year's "Red Dead Redemption," too.
Check out the new additions of Final Fantasy IX merch launched for the 25th anniversary, featuring a charming Vivi mug and plush bag.
@andy85 so you can get it from PlayAsia no Tarrifs but shipping is 23$ at least ,but it is an option. A little less than 50$ with shipping. I had to have it
Coming out at £44 ($60) here. Jeez as much as I want it that's a little bit of a stupid price. Managed to find it for £35 elsewhere. Still crazy for a mug. Might wait and see if the square Enix store get it
SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader in Fortnite claiming this was done without notification and has filed accordingly.
It's just a complaint, not a lawsuit, and it's completely unwarranted.
James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it.
So i don't know why SAG is getting involved as it makes it seem like they are going against james earl jones wishes or just wanted a cut...
They are concerned about A.I. replacing live talent. It's an unusual stance as you are correct; he left his voice and his family approved. The union is saying doing this versus using a live actor sets a bad precedent going forward. The use of A.I. has been a huge issue in the recent labor deals.
Well this is also an interactive AI Darth Vader that would have made live talent impossible unless they think a actor being in Fortnight 24/7 is an acceptable solution.
They should concentrate on cases that are possible to be done with live talent and that haven't been given blessing or sold by the original actor(for which they should have the right to sell)
"James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it."
I have to say if James approved this after his death... that would be... um...
Do you mean he approved it while he was alive for when he passed?
It's reported that he gave permission before his death and his estate(which i asume is his family) says so as well.
Because SAG-AFTRA are trade unions. They are the Hollywood mafia protecting their profits from anything they feel could undermine them. It's all about the almighty dollar, not artists.
James Earl Jones doesn't own the character, though. He essentially said the owners of the IP can use his voice however they wish, not everyone.
Mass Effect 4 has the perfect chance to reintroduce dialogue skills, and Baldur's Gate 3 might be the blueprint BioWare needs.
I'm not so sure they can, most talent that made the old games as good as they were, has left Bioware.
They can always recruit old fellas,
And also, new devs can always learn and also new indie devs are very passionate evident from the amazing indie games heavy with these gameplay features.
I don't think anyone would wanna come back after the stories that were told from Anthem development. I just don't see it happening. It's a bit similar to blizz, some of the talent has come back there, but there has been a shift in the studio's culture and also what the higher ups expect/demand of them
After andromeda and veilguard i think it’s assured that the bioware we once knew has gone, I have little hope for me4. Hopefully i’m wrong.
