Quoted from DugFreez:
One thing that is very much needed is a female "Shoot Again" callout. It makes very little sense to show Dazzler skate across the screen and then show a close up of her with a microphone in her hand and then hear "SHOOT AGAIN!" in a gravely Wolverine voice. It's another one of those head shaking mistakes in the game.

I would have to agree. What a crazy thing to do.
I think Breakshot has a great shoot again sound with a female voice as does Scared Stiff, but Elvira is too recognizable.

The only SAM games I could think of with female "shoot again" calls to rip directly were:

24....not great, but surprisingly not bad. Much better than Wolverine.

TRON...too computery

and I thought Star Trek had one, but I couldn't find it in the code. It may also be a bit too computery.

I think personally that the biggest issues are the WeaponX music and Beast voice. If these are modified, I will be more than happy. That game is one of the best underated games out there. Once you know how to play, it is very challenging. Probably the main music for the game too could be changed...

I was just playing XMLE at my buddies house and the call outs are horrendous. The sayings themselves are lame and the voice acting is so bad. The game itself is sweet but the callouts are so bad. I can't imagine who listened to them and decided to give the green light.

Just picked up a Pro today as well. This project sounds MASSIVE and wonderful! Most of the callouts don't bother me a whole lot, Rogue is probably my least favorite right now. Either way, ambitious project and I can't wait to see where it leads...!

A good way to isolate voices is obtaining (legally or not) a 5.1 or 7.1 surround rip of the movie, importing the MKV file into Audacity, and using the noise removal filter to sample background music/sound effects from various tracks and removing those on the center channel (used mainly for voice). I used this technique on the below video to isolate the sound effects and remove the existing music and voices from the movie so I can mix in my own music.

I just got this game (LE). The callouts are the weakest point in the game from what I can tell. Great game otherwise.

The voice work in Marvel Heroes is what I'm used to for these characters and is far better. Anyone looking for sound bites should check it out. Actually anyone who likes free to play online games should check it out. It's basically Diablo with a Marvel skin. It's run by a great company. They have over 40 playable characters and add at least one each month. They characters makes these little comments to or about each other when they are near. Some are pretty entertaining, Deadpool cracks me up. Anyway...

The project is at a hault, the many sound clips and sound waves were either digital or analog at different qualities of clarity. That was months ago. I'm not sure what's going on now with the project. A color dmd will make this game go out with a bang

Can you expand on this? Are the voices from an Xmen animated TV series? Is this true for all of them - Beast deosn't sound like a professional voice actor.

He means the dialogue used. It is things they have said in the comics. Ironically, Storm is no longer the queen of Wakanda, Cylcops left the X-Men and formed his own X-Men, and two of the characters are dead.

I think three are dead now, right? Professor X is dead, Jean Grey is dead and they just killed Wolverine. The rebooted comics show Old Man Logan, but traditional wolverine taken over by X23, so Im guessing he is fairly permadead until movie rights can be wrestled from Fox.

Beast sounds like JD from the Howard Stern show.

Any chance Stern will upgrade what seems to be much in demand redone call outs just as they finally updated Avengers software ? I would think upgrading call outs would be a piece of cake versus updating game rule sets...

I see there are a few different versions of Walking Dead sound replacements. What about x-men makes this harder?

If there's any chance of this still being worked on, I am more than happy to pull audio from all 3 of the cartoons. Aside from replacing voices, using all 3 theme songs at various points of game play would be great too.

Trying to import the main theme of the 90's cartoon but no luck. Says it's too long but its not. I've used audacity to shrank the audio and it also says to check my licence....I've already did that....dammit.

If someone could help, would be appreciate.

How old is your license? I had a license that was a couple of years old and it no longer supports importing longer files. Quick donation and a new license was sent. Seemed fair to me. I use PB a lot and have made two donations since it was launched. New license imported long files no problem.
With the latest version you don't need to shrink files either. They get automatically truncated.
