2 years ago when the game came out and we saw the origin skins and only Reaper’s felt a little off with that deep and non-human like voice. So are we actually for the first time going to get “Skin specific voice variation?”
During the trailer we heard him said “Everyone get through the breach we are out of here!” with his normal human voice which brings up th equestion “Is he going to sound like that ALL THE TIME or only in specific dialouges?”

Retribution mode will probably have event-specific dialogue restricted to that mode, similar to how McCree/Hanzo/Ana/Soldier have voice lines specific to Junkenstein’s Revenge.

yes, but now im just curious how Gabriel Reyes play into this whole thing, you see for junkenstein’s revenge the event is not lore based or not even trying to tell a story, but Overwatch Retribution is going to be a huge part of the plot whole for Blackwatch’s history with Overwatch and how reaper was created, I assume, but who knows maybe it’s gonna be like that but I really hope they do specific skin voice variations so that the skin feels more valuable you know? I mean look at Reaper’s balck watch Reyes skin, tell me that voice doesn’t bother you at the first place xD but again I have no idea and evidence they gonna do it I’m just wishing something good :))

gabe already got his human voice last year during uprising, he would talk to you during the mission after you secured the payload, i’m sure if they wanted him to use his normal voice with the skin on they would of done it already.

They already had the voice actor return for voice lines for this event, so why not redo the ones for the skin while he is at it? If they haven’t done it, I think calling them lazy is the least we should do.

but last year we can’t play him as Gab, we played as tracer Rein Torb and Mercy, this year is totally different, Gab is the main character, I don’t see how they gonna pull off things like he talks like a demon in game but talks normally during dialouges, remember the trailer he said “get through the breach we are out of here” that I’m very sure is a in game mission voice that tirggered by specific action by the players, so Idk man, you does have a point but I just don’t know how these two things fit together because this WHOLE event is about lore based stuff and they decided to not change details like this? idk… but thanks for your thoughts man
They probably don’t have him re-voice the voice lines for the skin because it will be too expensive. Voice acting isn’t cheap. And business are always looking to save money.

I agree it would be absolutely awesome if they did that, unfortunately I think it would require a lot of work/recording/mastering/programming/testing if only to make one character skin sound more accurate. It would also mean from now on whenever they record new lines the VA would have to do two versions, not just in English but in every other language the game is recorded in.

I don’t think making him re-record voices will be too mcuh to ask for, after all, he’s a voice actor lol that is his job XD
No, he isn’t talking about Voice Lines, he is referring to how Reyes sounds.

I mean the point is, the skin doesn’t match the voice, but during the event we HAVE TO USE his Reyes skin, so whether they gonna change his ENTIRE voice kit, or they just gonna leave it? OR, it’s just gonna be this specific event where he talks normal and afterwrads still sounds like a edgelord lol I hvae no idea which is why we should talk about this xD
