Sure, but there could be a problem. This video is huge, as if you all couldn't tell, and if the download fails, I'll have to start all over. My connection is typically pretty stable and I can leave it on overnight and into tomorrow. It's at about 11MB now and still at 0%. Eep. Have to cut it down, me thinks.

You could cut the gameplay out, since we already have plenty Pure Valley gameplay vids on the net. XD

Ooo, yeah. D: It definitely looks to be a beast of a video... how fast is your connection? If it's DSL, I'm scared for how huge the file is.

ewr v4w kt5n4yt43ib567!!

Reala sounds all sophisticated like!..

[CrazyInABottle]

Yeah, it's DSL, but it's not going at full capacity. Currently 46MB...still 0%. And I may split the scene from the gameplay, but send in at least some of the gameplay action since the video is really nice quality. I won't let you all down!

EDIT--Wait, I just checked the downloader and it said "0%-Can't resume", so maybe it isn't keeping track of just how big it is.

EDIT 2--It finished!!! I'll take a look at it now!

Woot! Thanks for doing this for us. I appreciate it. The streaming Flash lags like whoa, so it'll be nice to have a smooth copy of the scene.

Yikes. o_o Heck of a nightmare. I'd be rightly freaked out - a 12 year old girl *cant* fare well after that.


...hum. What's this?

It's got its own little HUD thing in the bottom right...

It's official: I hate the .flv format.
VideoLAN does play the movie file, but if I hope to cut it down to remove the "we've already seen this" gameplay part, I'll have to convert it. Anyone recommend a program?

Riva FLV Encoder works well! You can encode into a bunch of formats, including .wmv and .avi, I believe.

Good luck!

One of those 2-player screens looks like it might be the Delight City stage.

I actually tried that one, but it wouldn't load the video or convert it to anything. Maybe I'll give it another go.

And Jof, those images are great, but do they really have anything to do with this thread?

It's awesome to hear these tracks remixed.

Huh. Yeah, Riva can be finicky sometimes; it's pulled the "no conversion!" thing on me once or twice before. What's the URL you downloaded the original video from? My copy of Riva has been working lately, so I can give the conversion a try if I can get the .flv.

[CrazyInABottle]

Actually, I just got a program that works. All I have to do is get the quality to stay somewhat intact. If I don't cut the video down any, it's sitting at about 40MB. Windows Movie Maker won't let me import .avi files, know anything about that? Or any good free movie editors?

ahahah yeah. i liked it, even though it sounds like a midi : Duu
NiGHTS and Reala play an extreme hot potato. lul c:

Also Helen't mother seems to need a very strong sedative.

[seiya]

Oh that video is the first mission of Will's first dream!!
And Reala and Wizeman are appearing to every dream so far.
Reala is very very amenable to his master.
Wizeman is very fearful...!!

[Machenstein]

NiGHTS seems to have a shrilly Australian accent now. It's not bad but it could be executed just a little better. Same with William. I know not all British people sound like that. I'll just go with it. Reala and Mr. Owl have awesome voices though, especially Reala. The thing I like about Reala is he sounds so badass without going over the top with it. Most bad guys these days have gruff voices and they try really hard to be cool. Reala, on the other hand, has cool and calm demeanor and he still convinces me that he means business. Reala is going to be so awesome in this game, mask or no mask.

One thing that discourages me, and this a bit off-topic mind you, is the giant 4.7 somewhere half-way down the Gamespot page. I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means. If that's the reader average, I hope it isn't due to users not enjoying the game. The things I've read from Segata over at NeoGAF doesn't encourage me either.

It's only 5 votes so that's probably why it comes off as a low score. People may have voted 8's or 7's.

[CrazyInABottle]

I say all that matters is whether or not we like it.

I'm still trying to convert the video to a good quality, but I'm not going to bother cutting it down yet. Hey Digi or Trippy, do you accept split files? I don't think my email will let me send a 40MB file, so I could separate it into smaller archives.

Unfortunately, I don't... it's really odd that WMM won't let you import .avi files. My version definitely does. Is your version the most up-to-date one? If not, maybe you can try downloading an update.

If that doesn't work, you could try Vitual Dub.

[CrazyInABottle]

I'll look for an updated version of WMM first. If not, I'm really not in the mood to keep searching, so I may just send it in as is. My computer is being a pure monster tonight and I'm about to throw it out the window, I don't need to keep loading it up with more junk. You'll all get the video, don't worry.

[iLLViLLAiN]

How are you guys downloading this? I'd really like to know. I couldn't find a link anywhere.

I found a program that lets you rip stuff from sites. Didn't keep it, but I should have in case something better shows up somewhere. I think the program was called Orbit.

Edit--I don't know what the heck just happened, but now the video won't play in anything when just a few minutes ago it played just fine! ARGH! As if finals week isn't stressful enough! Sorry all, but I'm off to bed now. I'll dink around with this more tomorrow.

Don't stress yourself out and goodnight. I found the program btw. Thank you.

I just finished watching the video.....*tries to catch her breath*......... O.O; WOW!!!!!

The Pians sound so ADORABLE!! *squeels* I wish I could just pull one through my monitor, so I can huge it to death!!.. They sound just like Chaos!! So CUTE!! >w<

Will and Owls voice suit them very well!!! ^.^ *giggles* NiGHTS kinda sounds like a young boy! But his voice suits him well too! ^_^

Reala's voice is not like I imagined..... it's..... EVEN BETTER!!!!! HEEEEEVE *breaths into a paper bag* ... HUBAMAREN!!!! He sounds so sophisticated.. a.... and Smexy!!!

*finally notices the Helen pic above* O.O........ The Exorcist....

[Meggiemaccat]

Gawd, Helen's nightmare mother's scary. Oo; *hopes her own mother's not present for that scene should she ever get to play the game*

Anywhoos, I had a thought around Reala's voice last night (all my best observations and thoughts seem to take place when I'm supposed to be asleep...). Now, Reala doesn't sound quite as gruff as anyone expected, but he does not have that voice he had in the first game. That little mental tangent taken care of, there might be more behind the choosing of Reala's voice than just 'does it suit him?'. They have to take the situations he gets into into account and how appropriate the voice sounds for those - though a very serious opponent, he needs to be able to sound submissive enough around Wizeman that people don't think he's bursting to rebel or something (especially with what Wizeman probably does to him; I expect to see Reala thrown into a wall at least once), and a gruffer, less 'gay' voice wouldn't be able to pull that off quite so well.

Oh, adding a non-sequitor to that; Reala's voice actor is awesome, not just because of the way he sounds, but because of the way he pulls it off. I find him the most convincingly unforced character we've heard so far (aside from NiGHTS, but I actually haven't heard as much of him, so I can't really tell). I wouldn't be surprised if Reala's voice actor was a seasoned pro at this, but then, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he also voiced Owl. I almost thought Owl was still speaking the first time I heard Reala talk (until I actually noticed his mouth was moving), but that might've been because I was tired enough that their voices seemed to be the same at first, because I started telling the difference on the second viewing (I'm terrible, I know).

[Doctor Zhao]

Urgh, I can tell NiGHTS' voice is going to bug me a lot. The only thing worse than bad acting is a bad forced accent. "Let me goew!" Nobody pronounces "go" like that. Anywhere.

It's probably not as noticeable if you're not from England, but to me, it sounds terrible >:I

Reala's voice isn't bad, though. I was expecting him to sound like a creepy Disney villain and say "NYA HA HA!" after everything. This is much better.

The "nya ha ha" thing would've been awfully funny, though. XD But yes, I'm glad it didn't happen!

NiGHTS' pronunciation bugs me as well. I do hope his/her voice acting improves in that respect as we see and hear more of JoD.
Then again, we won't know until further footage shows up. Here's hoping for the best!

w00t for subtle remixes. Although it does sound a bit more casual now. The 'hardcore-osity' of the [2 player battle] original was cool. You really felt an intensity. But I'm so glad they didn't touch the very start of his song, the DEDEDEDEDEDEDE.. you knows what I mean..

Hopefully his main battle music is still crazy action awesome.
