Yeah people don't realize but when you take in count the fact that you guys have made it so EVERY voice line has 3 different variations, it ends up being a LOT to record

And then localize the lines for all the languages we support, cast the actors for those languages, record, edit, process, implement, test, fix. Rinse + repeat.
Apex might "just" be a free-to-play battle royale, but there's a reason its the biggest dev team we've ever had on a game. The amount of content we ship throughout a season is very similar to an expansion pack from back in the day, but we do it every ~3 months. It sure has been a learning curve! Very different than shipping a whole game in a box every 2-3 years. Feels like we might finally starting to hit a stride with Season 3...
I really want to appreciate some of the Korean lines that were in the trailer such as "아으 진짜" and whatnot. You made him sound like a real native!
Yeah Johnny is a native speaker, and a talented actor. He actually helped us quite a lot in the recording booth correcting our translations and ad-libbing his own lines in Korean.
Even then they didn't record new lines, they just tacked on the ping lines. I suppose they have to record a few variants, and it's not worth bringing everyone in to record unless there's a major update.
So it takes about 4 weeks to write the “pickups” for a new season ( 1500-2500 lines not including a new character ). Another 2 weeks to record in the studio, a week to get the takes back, 4 -6 weeks to process and get in the build, 2 weeks to test, 2 weeks to pass cert. And that’s assuming nothing goes wrong.
So that’s 3-4 months lead time. The pickups you’ll hear in se3 had to be designed and locked before se2. I know that sounds insane, but that’s the way it works. If the only thing holding a feature from release is voice acting, we try to get the gameplay to you sooner rather than later, and fill in the VA later.
With the current state of the industry, my hope is that there wasn't extreme crunch to bring us the gem that S3 looks like it can be. My hype is unreal, but learning that would bum me out.
I doubt Respawn would do that. They made some mistakes, but they aren't totally heartless. Then again, with EA involved, who knows.
Respawn is great to us devs. There were some overtime here and there for some departments (that I know of) but it's not anything crazy. <3 Respawn.
I still haven't seen a pic of it yet!! I demand pics! Hope you're having a great time though =) /u/lowkeydbjosh can be kinda cool.. sometimes....
60% of the time all the time
hell yeah!
epg + thunderbolt + grav star, all hail the church of the blue orb
Lol! Preach brotha, preach.
also EPG
All hail EPGesus! Lol. I wish it was in Apex as well. It was a fun weapon to use.
This is awesome!
I have to ask... Could the line be said when someone actually gets Bamboozled instead of when the ability is used? Everytime I hear the line I frantically look around for the enemy.
Can't wait to play SEASON 3!!!
That's out of my control. Lol. But ya, I love how mirage says it and he's not bamboozling anyone.
Just make sure that you know that the Devs got it from the Titanfall 2 comunity. We've been calling holo pilot the bamboozler since the early days.
Can confirm this is where I got it from. But I remember Mo getting so happy he got "me" then I came up from behind and took him out. He yelled WTF I killed you, how'd you come back to life so quickly?! That's when I yelled "you got bamboozled son!" I was/is a Holo pilot main in TF2 so I know how to use it well. Salute to Holo pilot mains out there.

Apparently it was there right before release but they got the load time down and therefore it was no longer necessary
Argonomic is a designer on Titanfall and Apex btw. :P
And you've got it right. There were several iterations of the "staging" area was, with the Training area being the final iteration. Ultimately, it was not needed for matches as most of the map loading is done in advance of matchmaking and and only a few seconds needed to swap out lobby bits.
Just checked. World's Edge was started November 2017.
Mirage's appearance is also based on one of the Team"s members.
Yeah... me ;)... but it’s mostly demeanor more than looks.
could be nice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Posted this on another thread but... “Hey guys we want to launch a cool trailer monday” - Respawn.
“Ok but what if we launched it today.” - EA Korea.
like seriously can Respawn just be allowed to launch trailers without them being leaked. Second time in a row it’s happened.
