Title: Reactions to the BE trailer
Post by: NewAgeOfPower on April 16, 2014, 09:54:21 pm

I teared up watching the video.

Let us hope they do SMAC/X's legacy justice.

So we pray, Beyond Earth.

Hello beardy space stranger!  If it lured you back, how bad can it be? 

Hearing her voice saying something new after all these years WAS moving, wasn't it?

Whose voice?

I've been... lurking.

The lady narrating the BE trailer didn't sound familiar?

Your joking.

I hear her voice in TV & Movie ads non-stop.

Deirdre is a voiceover superstar?

I learn something new every day. Who is her VA?

And is she actually as cute as Deidre from SMAC?

;p

I do not know these things...

The game has credits, or course, if that is the same actress...

Lady Deirdre Skye is given voice by a certain Carolyn Dahl, but it's not been discovered, afaik, which one of 10 or more professional women by that name.

Begging everyone's pardon, but I split this off into its own thread in the BE forum - I'm no topic discipline Nazi, but I worry about the motivational speeches getting lost in the chatter, and this is an interesting topic in its own right...

AFAICH, it's not Deedee narrating the CivBE trailer. Her voice and accent come much closer to the Datalinks narrator.

I always had trouble keeping the two straight - I would have thought it was the same woman if not for the credits.
