The blacklisting is to do with when he was an actor in the early 90s, some people attacked his wife or something and he tried to find out who.

I suppose the video made things worse
>>
>>340751782
Gee, it's almost as if doing VA is more of a labor of love than a high-paying career, and anyone who goes into the industry thinking they'll get rich off it is an idiot.

This is why I have no sympathy for the hacks who tried to make the VA strike (apart from the fact that it comprised of talentless maggots like Wheaton). Even if I only ended up making a net sun of 50 bucks after all the expenses were subtracted, I'd jump at the chance to have my voice in a video game.

I agree that VAs are often overpayed, but $400 is chump change for VA work.

>>340753480
From the IMDB forums and his facebook posts, some thug cut his son's hands up and beat his wife, and so Sarif was pissed as hell and probably publicly threatened to kill this guy.

However, someone else on the forums said "yeah no, his blacklist is because he has a long history of being an unstable alcoholic, nothing to do with threats" so who knows.

Well fuck, I just left him a supportive comment and linked him to the recent Mankind Divided gameplay video (the one with all the comments about how the new Sarif VA is generic as hell) and he wrote me this paragraph in response, was not expecting that at all. So now we have his full story on what happened, it's a neat read.

Man, being left out of the pre-patch credits is insane, that had to be intentional for Edios. But maybe based Sarif can voice act in Kojima's new IP?

That's peanuts, especially considering the investment in travelling to Montreal (plane tickets and hotels alone would make it essentially worthless).

Get the director's cut, it fixes the boss fights, makes the DLC an actual part of the game (It comes between Hengsha and Shanghai now, instead of just being on the menu), includes all the pre-order shit, and his dev commentary. The dev commentary is great by the way, not just "Yeah so this is an FPS so we put some guns and shit in here."

They quite literally are not. People have unique voices. Many VAs have job security because nobody can replace them.

Whether or not you can replace someone without people getting upset relies on a whole load of factors like popularity and how distinctive the voice is. Sarif had a distinctive voice and they've replaced it with a shitty one for what is basically a cameo. In this particular instance it would have been better not to include him at all.

You know what would be cool? If there are only 50 sarifs lines in the game we can ask him to do those lines after the game ships and patch it in.

For anyone who actually thinks Stephen Shellen isn't a mentally disturbed individual, this is a short and very informative interview:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM5umez3jCo

He has this conversation with the same person he is talking to for the Fruit Flies video, but nothing in this interview is a joke. He really does believe that because of some behavior he did on an old show 'Counter Strike' that he has been blacklisted in the Industry and can't get any work.

However, if you read any of his long rants or tangents it becomes pretty clear why no one wants to work with him. All the DX:HR Voice Actors said Stephen Shellen is a great guy to work with and very funny, but from a management point of view he's totally unpredictable and can either not show up at all or show up demanding two or three times the amount of money initially agreed upon.

I like Stephen Shellen. I also know he's a mad-man.

You're actually being immoral by supporting DRM that will ultimately result in games being unusable when the servers go down.

you mean he's not PAYING to get to the studio and perform because he's not insane.

he would do it because he has pride, and fans would ask him to and his phone would do a great job as a mic would sound like a studio job after you use noise suppression and EQ on recording.

These posts putmuch more weight to the fruit flies video being real. He writes like a nutcase. Nice voice, but I am sure he was unbelievably high maintenance to deal with. I don't fault them one bit for dropping him.

>DX:MD still looks bad though, regardless.
If you're talking about graphically, then it's because Eidos has been using the PS4 version in all of their gameplay demos, which is a really terrible sign (usually that happens when the pc port is being outscourced.) But only time will tell.
>>
>>340769645
Nah, meant more the invisible dashing and focus on muh oppression. Even though defenders keep shouting "it's about conspiracies this time, really!", I can't believe it with that fucking mechanical apartheid shit. Just like I couldn't believe DX:IW wasn't going to be about terrorism thanks to the title.

I don't use graphics as any kind of metric to rate a game, they are irrelevant. A shitty game with good graphics will always be shit, moreso in the future when it's not so pretty, but a good game with shitty graphics is good no matter how long into the future it is. Deus Ex and Deadly Premonition both being prime examples of good games with subpar (for their time) graphics.

dx sucks for some people. Shit has serious performance issues. I could run the game at 144fps but itd have period random drops and freezes making it unplayable.

Had to cap at 60 and even then suffered drops to 30. And i'm not even being a 60fps fag, the drops were so frequent and sudden they'd fuck up my aim and immersion. I was never truly confident in my controls

I believe the implication is that you're not taking in the content as it was originally intended by the makers and yeah that's pretty gay, jap voice actors in animes just fix better 99% of the time also the voice acting in HR was pretty dece imho

Good luck finding a decent candidate.
I genuinely feared for my job with all the paranoia emanating from the recent influx of H1Bs, but it turns out that pajeet only writes poo code.

Nothing to fear from college grads, nothing to fear from imported labor.
The only threats I face at work are the indecisive idiots who love the idea of scrum, but haven't yet been able to justify the damage it does. Someday, they'll find a way, and that's the day I'll leave.

As much as I agree the guy comes across as slightly loony, he did iconic work as David Sariff and set the bar high in an industry where voice acting is increasingly stale and bland as dry toast.

I wish he was in more games.

This, it was refreshing to hear a unique voice for once. The new Sarif VA just sounds like a generic late-30's man. I'm sure the new VA is professional and talented but he just lacks the charisma Shellon had.

He was just an actor playing an eccentric character, the problem was that the movie didn't come out for like four years and apparently Letterman wasn't in on the act and didn't know he'd be almost kicked in the face. So the skit is fake but Letterman getting salty at the kick and cutting to break might have been real.

If someone gave me $400 to say 50 lines I'd do it.

I think that rate might be low for triple-A titles, but more importantly it probably wouldn't outweigh the costs of the plane ticket and hotel. I mean, fuck, that's probably $300 right there unless he lives closeby.
>>
>>340781860
That's because you are a scrub and don't have the voice, it's not your profession. $400 for an acting job, even just a voiceover, is a ripoff. It's not worth the trouble.
