Squadron 42: Bishop Senate Speech

so it seems like ..while we did WIN the battle of Vega at the start of the game, and we repelled the Vanduul, it looks like it's gonna be a pyrrhic victory. Possibly most of 2nd Fleet is in ruins, and the damage to the planet population centers is massive.

[@Eoinster]

Jesus Christ that cast is beyond anything I've ever seen in a video game.

[@Eoinster]

***** Not really anywhere near this impressive. They had a few B-list celebrities like Yvonne Strahovski, Keith David, Seth Green, etc., the only real A-list actor was Martin Sheen, this cast is infinitely more impressive.

[@abefroeman5526]

+Eoinster Not really, but certainly AAA title worthy. Given that it's an indy game, that in and of itself is impressive. BTW, Gary is the only A lister here, too. Fallout 3 had Liam Neeson and Malcolm McDowell, Oblivion had Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean, Skyrim had Max Von Sydow and Christopher Plummer, Oldman and Keifer Sutherland were also in CoD: World at War. The most that I could find was Fable 3 had Ben Kingsley, John Cleese, and Michael Fassbender.

[@Eoinster]

William Santiago Mark Hamill, Mark Strong, Andy Serkis, Ben Mendehlson, Gillian Anderson and Liam Cunningham have all become very recognisable and well known actors recently, and while yes, they're not all A-listers, they're all pretty high level actors, and I can't think of another release with this many of them.

[@abefroeman5526]

+Eoinster Impressive, but not A listers. As for as many, Fable 3 also had Stephen Fry, Nicholas Hoult, Bernard Hill, Simon Pegg, Zoe Wanamaker, and Edward Hardwicke. If they just had Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean, they would have employed every actor in Britain.

[@Eoinster]

William Santiago Never knew Fable 3 had so many stars, I only knew about Stephen Fry (although he, Hoult and Pegg are the only ones I've heard of), I hope games start attracting bigger name actors now.

[@sgt_s4und3r54]

You know since we haven't anything posted to this in a while, I still watch this 8 years later. I watch it several times a year. It still gives me goose bumps. Gary Oldman delivered these lines beautifully.

[@AmbrosiusIII]

Great speech. My one gripe is that the character looks a lot younger than the person the voice portrays.

[@EmpReb]

+Raikouza Advanced anti aging tech.

[@gamepkay]

+EmpReb well then wouldn't you still sound young? like then its not anti aging if your insides still age.

[@vidgami46]

+Raikouza Not really. Some people just have "off" voices. That an admiral has such a voice and still can make a powerful speech gives him character imo.

[@EmpReb]

+John Dycoco Anti Aging probably would only slow down visual wear and tear on the body and muscular and bone problems as well. However its is very likely we will just hit another limit with mental capping out (overload of information or brain maxing it self out but we have no one living long enough to see if that is really problem or not.). We already hit our first limit because nutrition no longer its issue in the first world so we are seeing first hand the other limits max age of humans mostly due failure to repair as the body tissue has harder and harder time divided cells because of DNA wear out. But probably there is another limit after we deal with that limit so who knows.

[@MrGlore]

+Raikouza If you watch the behind the scenes from citizencon just moments ago, you would see gary oldman playing this character and talking exactly like that when he is in-character.

[@Goujiki]

+August Kessler I just hope the script is good, this needs to have a decent story, so as long as they work on getting it right, they can take all the time they need, because once squadron 42 is officially released, more people will buy it, even if they weren't backers, plus streamers will stream it so if it's good, it will spread around more.

+GrandAndreasK1 That was exactly what I searched for, Thank You

[@martinconway8174]

How the fuck can they afford this? I agree it's awesome but a kickstarter should not be able to afford it's own movie with a-list actors.

[@KuariThunderclaw]

+Martin Conway While several of them are considered A-List actors, they're ones that really don't go overkill on charging for their voice acting. They don't cost millions like some assume just because they're around a lot. So yeah, not that hard for them to afford it or a huge drain. Its not a Hollywood production where one actor gets like 10 million or whatever. Hell, most actors can't get away with charging that much even or just flat out don't. Voice acting much less so.

[@martinconway8174]

Still!

[@syphen75]

+Martin Conway 91+ million dollars, No money spent on advertising. Plus I would imagine they don't charge nearly as much for voice over acting as they would for full fledged movies. The key to being able to afford it is the fact that they don't have to spend anything on advertising or community content from the actual pledges for the game. Every penny of that 91+ million can go to game development.

[@baholete]

Graphics are beyond anything, but the voice for this character sounds out of place for me, sounds like an 80+ years old character :|

[@kensmith2829]

+Otherguy123321 Before the video was shown, they said some of the voices are slightly off their lipsyncing.

[@Mr0RLy]

+Michael C dude, that game is settled 900 years in the future. he probably got a good anti aging cream.

[@d34d10ck]

+Otherguy123321 The audio is slightly out of sync. Only about 25 ms. Normally you wouldn't really notice it unless you watch him slamming his fist onto the podium @ 1:32 Shifting the audio by -25ms puts it back in line with the video and it will also make the lip movement look better. Otherwise I can't see anything wrong with it.

[@d34d10ck]

***** You are trying to find bugs, where no bugs are to find. Fixating to much onto one thing could make everything look wired. It's like saying the word banana over and over and over again. At some point it starts sounding wired for no reason. I don't think that there's anything wrong with it. Obviously we aren't out of the uncanny valley yet, but I think that has much more to do with lighting, graphics and rendering quality, than with facial expressions.

He actually blinks several times in the video. Other times it might be "hidden" because of the camera position being more "scenic" rather than in his face. Besides, blinking excessively is a sign of being nervous, relaxed. He's supposed to be stern, firm and steadfast. Fully motivated and more or less angry. Thus he blinks less.

[@BitCrusader]

There is blinking, and brow animation. Just look closer.

That little addition of 2016 at the ending just feels brutal. Where did the years go...

[@Alucard9692010]

the speech it self was ok, but his mannerism, disconnect between the way he looks and the old man voice really killed the moment. I assume he is suppose to be a leader like character that inspires other... but this speech did do that for me.

[@Tbm147]

+alucard ex Well, it's Gary Oldmans face and his voice...Not sure how they can change that.

[@Alucard9692010]

7un Away i think is the smooth skin that makes him look much younger. Anyway, besides the disconnect and the uncanny valley... this looks incredible, especially since it's done in real time, in engine... it is not a SG cinematic.

[@SRaitsa]

+alucard ex By the end I was starting to settle into the voice to the face but at the start it was rather hard. You look at the face and you think to yourself "this face should not be making this sound".

[@nimmusik]

Loved the visuals, shots were spot on!

[@MrNicerDicerWasTaken]

Thanks to the CIG-Crew and Chris Roberts for making Star Citizen real ! :) Can't wait to join the universe.

[@jasonfrost5025]

5 years. Still waiting.

[@FFOBZBify]

Das beste was ich in einem Spiel je gesehen habe!!!!Gänsehaut pur :) Kann es kaum erwarten^^

[@EmperorRosko]

His throat even moves showing a "swallowing" action!! Day one purchase just for that...

[@phantompower]

+EmperorRosko Watch his eyes, he blinks and it looks real, you don't even notice it.

[@EmperorRosko]

PhantomPowerSC you're right i didn't notice. Guess they are putting those mega millions it made on kick starter to really good use. Looking forward to it. Hope it lives up to everything!

[@phantompower]

+EmperorRosko You and me both.

[@CitizenGamer]

+PhantomPowerSC The irises also contract and expand based on light sources

[@phantompower]

Citizen Gamer Yeah it's pretty incredible, there is also a gif of the spittle flying out of his mouth, super close up hi res.

[@DescendentStudios]

I liked it, nice job CIG and Cubic Motion. WM

[@stephenwillis744]

Gave me goose bumps!

[@willj78]

Anyone find it interesting the amount of times Gary Oldman has said the same line: For without victory, there can be no survival.

[@Ragnarok512]

They might want to edit that 2016 out of the video...

[@TheTZER]

This alone makes me happy i backed this project over 3 years ago. Almost proud of the progress they've made, astounding technical achievement. A big middle finger to the rest of the gaming industry! Gary Fucking Oldman! :D

[@sirfairplay9153]

And you spent all your money on THIS!

[@theHedgehogPro]

The year is 2024.... 😢

[@122439airwolf]

Funny how people try to find negativity in everything. This is by far the most incredible cgi ive ever seen for a video game. AND ITS IN THE VIDEO GAME. We complain about the the Call of Duty's having cgi trailers that are nothing to reality. And yet when reality is put into the trailer - you have ppl that cry. Look at the likes. Those of us that are happy are silent. Perhaps we shouldnt be any longer.

[@CMDR_Birb]

His daughter (voiced by Gillian Anderson) just died to the vandul. She was captain of some ship. Sorry for the spoiler LOL

[@USSDragonfireNX84]

I was starting to become a little disenchanted with Star Citizen and S42....until I saw this . It's reinvigorated my excitement for this game, which is wonderful because I want to love this game. This is just the most epic speech and the soundtrack is astounding - it matches everything so perfectly. If only there was a clean version of the background soundtrack :P

[@telinoz1975]

Cool promo and a good set of actors involved.

[@Jollanza]

2019 and still waiting

[@jasonfrost5025]

2020 still waiting. Delayed 2 more years. Lmfaoooo. See ya in 2022.

[@ech0oo197]

2021 still waiting.

[@m3tasc0ut]

You can really hear the toll that all of that inspirational yelling during Admiral Ernst Bishop's rousing speeches throughout his lengthy career has taken on his voice.

[@keeperofthefate]

*cough* 2026 *cough*

[@KnightKai]

OMG!!! CIG well done!! I am so excited to play SQ42 !!

[@Sedonafilmer]

I was watching this thinking...wow they are really good at impersonating Gary Oldman...then... BAM credits... Wow talk about a AAA cast!

[@theProphetofIrony]

Not how the Admiral grips the podium a lot? That's a power stance, shows his determination, and how set and confident he is. THIS IS A FUCKING BEAUTIFUL TRAILER. THIS SPEACH IS FUCKING AMAZING!

[@Xerkrosis]

The admiral reminds me to Peter Baelish^^

[@matthewrussell1600]

THAT'S WHY HE LOOKED FAMILIAR.

[@Fire-jk8ye]

+Xerkrosis its garry oldmen

[@cryptogaming9935]

+Tall Guy no, it's Gary Oldman

[@Xerkrosis]

***** Barely recogniseable without glasses.

[@matthewrussell1600]

+Jux Mux you realize "looks familiar" doesn't equal "is this person". I'm fully aware who it actually is.

[@thedoctorwho7474]

Wow it's so awesome that in recent years more and more well known actors whether they are A or B list are now doing video game voice and motion acting, which kind of makes sense given how video games for a long while now are like long interactive movies and motion capture kind of acting being something fairly new that up until 5-10 years ago didn't exist I'd imagine actors would want to be apart of something so groundbreaking

[@fotakatos]

It so happens that Gary Oldman has been doing video games since forever. I first heard him in the Spearhead expansion to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault all the way back in 2002, he also appeared in several Call of Duty games. And particularly Chris Roberts has been working with big names since the 90's. But yeah, there's no doubt that it's becoming more and more common to cast A or B list actors in games if one can afford it.

[@wyattlockhart2546]

*holding*

[@tylerhaugen6953]

The music is heavy-handed like whoa.

[@DNB_connoisseur]

This is starting to look dated and Squadron 42 is not even out yet.

[@pepijnhuvenaars]

And I haven't seen any progress of it in a long time. Normally CGI is very keen on showing anything they got.. Now it's just silence.

[@michaelbeleut6480]

ai caramba yeah it’s uhh.... very concerning. Maybe they are pulling a card and keeping silent because they are close?

[@jasonfrost5025]

@@michaelbeleut6480 Yep, "close." 2 more years minimum and using Cyberpunk as a scapegoat. Thanks 'new' roadmap. Edit: PS buy more ships.

[@spamozoid]

The chills for the hype are running along my arms. I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER

[@Birdtross]

Is there a place where we can listen to a clean version of this soundtrack?

[@CujoHyer]

+Birdtross Yes ... The future. *back to the future themesong*

[@Citizen3rased95]

+Birdtross Not yet, someday, the soundtrack will be released, i'm sure.

[@Stormfox93]

+Birdtross darude....mha never mind, that is a bit too 2014

[@InsaneTiger07]

+Birdtross couldnt see if sarcasm or not, so i just answer: This is actually Gary Oldmans voice, i guess he uses it all the time for his character in this game. Its not edited or something just great show of acting. You can see a short cut in the behind the scenes video from squadron 42. I still think it was sarcasm...

[@Birdtross]

+InsaneTiger07 I'm not talking about Gary Oldman's voice (great guy, love his work), rather the music that's playing in the background. And for the record, I wasn't sarcastic. I'd genuinely like to know because the music was AWESOME.

[@3556df44]

Hebry Cavill is also in the game 👌
