Voice of Melek

[Shipgate]

I was looking for some pictures of Melek when I found a site about Tim Curry saying that he did the voice for Melek in WC3? Is this true? Or does everyone already know that?

 

[MamiyaOtaru]

several sites say that: google I didn't know that myself though. Why didn't he do it for WC4? Who did?

Tim Curry . . . Gaal in Earth2. Man, I miss that show.

IMDb is your friend.

Wing Commander III: The Heart of the Tiger

Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom

As for why the change, I don't think it was mentioned, but the usual candidate options are "conflicting scheduling" and "wanted too much money".

Fun to read Chris Roberts was the Black Lance officer during the final trial.

 

[Edfilho]

And he couldn't go on.

 

[TheFraix]

He couldn't go on working for the money oriented company.
He couldn't go on working for EA.
He couldn't go on having the corporation control their creative ideas and direction.

And so he left, and started his own game studio namely Digital Anvil.

And then DA became owned by Microsoft, who fit all of the above.

Some improvement...

 

[Edfilho]

And he actually didn't finish most of the games he started.

I've never seen the movie, but why was it total rubbish compared to the games?

Maybe Roberts lost his touch somewhere down the way.

Reality called, it said it wanted you to stop picking on it.

Watch the movie before you get into a discussion about how good it was.

 

[Delance]

One thing that Chris Roberts did was the improve the level of storytelling in games.

 

[Haesslich]

Yes, he couldn't go on.

 

[Shipgate]

I've always liked that joke. "And I couldn't go on."

 

[LeHah]

I can't wait for this thread to not go on.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

I hate that I actually have to explain this.

Chris Roberts' cameo line in Wing Commander IV had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he left Origin *a year after the WCIV film shoot*.

The existence of linear time aside, he went on to work on at least two projects after Wing IV -- a Privateer sequel and Silverheart.

 

[Edfilho]

Well, I didn't imply that, I think. I just find the scene quite laughable, And it coincidently FITS with the rest of his life after that

He simply didn't finish any of the games he started... the ones that got released were finished by other people.

Stupid thread. Stupid, stupid thread.
