NFSMW: Police Dialogue |
Monday, 05.12.2005 |
In Need for Speed Most Wanted the police dialogue characterizes the pursuits. Electronic Arts published a short article about the recordings and development of the police speech:
Putting together the Police chatter this year for Need for Speed Most Wanted was a huge undertaking. The goal was to create realistic, intelligent, and emotional Cop Dialog that would stay fresh and exciting after playing the game many times. This has been attempted in very few driving games, so there was definitely new ground to be explored.
Cop speech highlights include the following:
- Over 300 professional voice actors were auditioned in Vancouver and L.A. The final actors cast have had experience on shows such as "24", "CSI's Miami and New York", and "Las Vegas".
- Over 12,000 lines of dialog were written and recorded during the preliminary voice over sessions.
- The voice actors ad-libbed those 12,000 written lines during the pick-up sessions to almost double the variation in the final game.
- Those lines were translated into French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese to create a total of over 60,000 lines of Cop speech recorded worldwide.
- Real Police radios were aquired for the recordings in order to achieve the "authentic" scanner sound quality.
- Real-time Artificial Intelligence was programmed for each officer, including the Heli Cop - they know when they're gonna take you down, and how, and they know when to back off when they're getting banged up!
- Realistic pursuit escalation based on research and development with real professional Police officers.
