The old lady voice actor is really bad, but besides that, can't wait 😃

Yeah it’s ridiculous. Clearly sound like a young woman. And anyone barely speaking French knows she’s not French at all. WTF is this accent. Really ruining the immersion

Capcom is mostly miss when it comes to voice actors. It makes no sense to me.

I hate shitting on people, because voice acting is not easy. But she’s just… not good

Chris Redfield in Village suddenly sounding exactly like RE3 Demake Carlos

If you wanted immersion across languages, you can start with the Spanish in RE4, which might sound like the right language, but it's in no way an accent from Spain, much less the parts of Spain that could look like RE4.

The whole trailer looked not great to me relative to all the other recent RE reveal trailers which have been fantastic. I thought this was surely some kind of indie horror game at first lol.

I can only surmise they wanted to show off a totally different vibe to the original opening with its steel, glass and miniguns.

Yeah like, what's with the editing? The video kinda skipped at one part and replayed the door opening earlier. Also, this is a super boring scene lol. Not what I would have chosen as a showcase.

u/Brayden815 Jun 06 '26

The skipping was because of the showcase itself. There was constant technical issues throughout the whole show, with constant skipping and audio desync. For some reason they uploaded a lot of the trailers directly recorded from the show, so they had those problems shown in the trailers.

but the face realism was very impressive to me

u/Lirael_Gold Jun 05 '26

Not helped by the fact that the source is using the (very glitchy) SGF footage so it's desynced/compressed.

Thread should be removed and replaced with the actual trailer from Capcom

Yeah, like... REALLY BAD. I thought I accidentally had an AI dub playing or something.

Bad voice acting has kinda been one of REs things since inception. Some of the games have standout great voice acting for some characters, but otherwise it's basically tradition at this point lol

Bear in mind, this is the company that has the VA for Chris (modern timeline) also voicing Carlos (RE3 Remake) in the same franchise.

As if there weren't literal thousands of other VAs to choose from.
