Subject: Cortana's voice in the H4 trailer

I hope Cortana's voice actresss isn't changed for this new trilogy. I noticed her voice wasnt the same in that trailer. Whats everyone else think? I hope Jen Tailor returns.

Cortana looks weird to me.

I think it was just a pre-rendered vid and hopefully doesn't reflect the engine being used.

Signatures are for squares.

I couldn't tell if it was Jen Taylor or not.

Someone needs to ask Frankie if the VA's are returning...

They better have the same VA for the Chief!

I'm not sure it was. Hopefully they keep the original voice.

If it isn't them, they are decent imitators. Heck, I wouldn't mind the dude who does all the voicework for 343 Industries Waypoint vids.

I hope for consistencies sake they do return. It wouldn't feel right without them.

If the Chief is the center of the games again, Steve Downes MUST play him. It's not like Steve plays any other character, he's a radio show host. I'm sure if asked he'd reprise his role.

Hell, I was pissed off they didn't have him voice the chief in Halo Legends.

I now predict this forum will become like the Sonic fanbase in terms of whining about voice actors.

I'm already feeling put off by the amount of changes they've already done. Like it's a completely different unrelated game or something.

If they can at least get the same voice actors, then it would go leaps and bounds towards keeping the feeling of continuity.

Steve Downes IS the chief.

Cortana in Origins was still good, and her voice can be imitated quite well.

But not the chief...not him.

You really shouldn't care WHO voices the Chief as long as the game is good. I'd love Downes to come back, but if they get a decent soundalike, I'm cool.

I think it would need to be the same voice actor. It's like one of your favorite cartoon characters having a voice actor change as you watched when you were a kid, after that kind of change it wouldnt be the same.

He'd better.

The Chief is not the Chief without Downes' voice.

-blam!- you. Did you not read I would love for Steve to come back? However, if the game is good and they have a decent Chief impressionator, I won't care.

Stupid fanboys.

^ This. And the voice is most likely a place holder.

I hear they don't drag the VA's in until late in the process. Remember Bungie's 1 pre-Halo 3 podcast? The one with "Johnson" script samples?
