Voice acting

[Ramrod]

I've had this little question nibbling at the back of my mind for a few weeks now. Since Ruined posts here pretty often, I'm hoping he can provide an answer (even if it is in the typical infuriating-but-tantalising PR vagueness =P). I was reminded of it when watching the Ultramarines movie second trailer, about halfway through when a Space Marine shouts "burn, heretics!"

The voice of Captain Titus, in the short gameplay clips we saw of the Valkyrie assault, sounds like Brian Dobson, the voice of the Space Marine army as a whole in the DoW series. If it is (and I hope it is), is his casting final? I really don't want to start the game and be surprised that he's been replaced with someone else. His voice is exactly how a Space Marine has always sounded in my mind, way before I ever even heard of Dawn of War.

Also, can we expect to hear any familiar voices from the DoW series, ie. the other two Dobson brothers*?


*Seriously, the three Dobsons are the voice of damn near everyone in the games, and they kick ass.

I don't remember Relic changing randomly any voice actors, expect each new expansion in DoW 1, but they listen to their community and brought back Sindri in DoW 2 so I think we won't be hearing (he he) anything else than we already can hear.

And yeah, since Space Marine sort of uses DoW 2 graphics style, I'd expect them to use the voices as well. Hopefully, I've also grown fond of the voices we hear in DoW 2.

Gabriel Angelos was changed from Paul Dobson to Brian Dobson from Dow 1 to 2 for an unspecified reason.

I'm just making sure, cause of the recent story with Starcraft 2's Jim Raynor and Sara Kerrigan voice actors (they'd gotten a new Raynor but after much fan outcry, switched back to the original, and they'd released a trailer with the old Kerrigan but then replaced her with someone famous).

Besides, I'm hoping to get unequivocal confirmation about whether while playing as Titus, I'm going to be hearing the same badass voice that said "The Monolith! We destroy that and this is over! CHARGE!"

I loved the voice in the video I saw.

'KEEP HER STEADY PILOT' Oh God-Emperor yes that was a fantastic line.

[Ruined]

The voices aren't final at this time. We are working out details of voice talent etc literally as we speak and then will do an announcement.

[Ramrod]

Fingers crossed for Brian Dobson! Thanks for the quick reply, Ruined!

Get Paul Too, and Scott McNiel.

$20 Steve Blumm is in this game, somewhere.

No bet.

Also, I want it to happen.

I would prefer not to hear him in yet another Relic game

Guess we disagree here.

I've just realized he's actually the only voice actor's name I know for that has worked for Relic, anyone know what else the Dobson brothers have done?

I actually quite enjoy steven blum's voice acting especially as martellus or eliphas. (not Cyrus though, too whiney) I have faith in Relic and THQ to get the best voice actors for the roles as they have done for all the previous titles. DON'T DISSAPOINT ME!
