Gamespot's Jason Ocampo has his own particularly promising preview re Funcom's upcoming (and highly anticipated) adventure, "Dreamfall"...
Dreamfall has excellent visuals. Even though there's no cutting-edge look here, there's something appealing about the clean art style that the developers adopted for the game. We saw both the PC and the Xbox version in action, and it looks good on both, though the Xbox version of course runs at a lower resolution than the PC version. The developers have spent a lot of time researching the voice cast, and while they didn't get any big-name stars, they did get plenty of voices that may sound awfully familiar to you, and there's a reason for that. To find the voice actors, the designers watched plenty of movies and made notes of whose voices they liked. Then they went and got those actors for the game. They made some great choices, too. For example, Jack Angel, the voice of Teddy in Steven Spielberg's Artificial Intelligence voices a similar type of character in Dreamfall, and you'll recognize that it's a perfect fit when you hear and see his character. The team has been busy recording voices in London, Ireland, New York, and Los Angeles to provide life for the more than 5,000 lines of dialogue in the game. |
