Now This is What I call Voice Acting

- What made me an Assassin's Creed fan was the great movie-like cinematic experience. And these phenomenal characters were brought to life by remarkably talented actors. There were many awesome cutscenes in the AC franchise. These are my favorites.
I love the immediate shift from "ANGRY DEVIL" to "Course it does" lol
One of my favorite and definitely more memorable cutscenes lmao, and also when black-beard dies and delivers the line "IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOLD, WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN HEROS"
That actually caught me off guard.
I used the appear to be the devil quote in an explanation in my ELA class and the teacher loved it, assassins creed black flag never flails to be one of my favorite games
It shows how clever Thatch was, how much he understood showmanship and leaving an impression. It's why he's remembered so well despite having such a short period of infamy.
Looks fine
"In a world without gold we might've been heroes."
Love that quote so much
This is one of the best quotes in gaming history. Has so much wisdom in it.
when i was a kid and heard blackbeard say these line i think its only a last word of him, but my age getting older and that word feel different
As far as last words go, they're probably the best in the series besides Torres'.
@@damnyoumarston every conflict present today....is because of money
@@YaToGamiKuroUnlike in the past when we fought war for honor, faith, love for woman or man, now we can fight war for money.
kinda mad how the entire plot of rogue could have changed if instead of ignoring every word out of shay's mouth they just had a conversation
This is sadly the case with so many great conflicts in the world.
There's also some wrong in Shay's part calmly explained them everything I'm sure they would have listened.
@@ALDRINRabhawhat part of the "you are meddling with dangerous machines" and "the city fell apart" is so hard to understand?
Well he could have tried to explain them that they r wrong 😁
Most of the assassins sadly suffer from comprehension problems
Younger me took all these for granted...

@cjgeterix2120 ☠☠☠
Younger me couldn't speak English yet so I just played it not knowing what's going on
Ubisoft took it for granted, look at them now
Blackbeard's lines are genuinely amazing writing.
Did he say "in a world without gold, we might have been heroes"? because that shit is brilliant
Yeah, that's the line. You'll see it around often when people talk about Black Flag.
I never forgot it
its kinda true. they might have been seen as revolutionaries if they did what they did purely for the freedom.
@@alexiboo7309
Greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins for a reason.
Don't forget his name is also thatch
The way Cesare Borgia's voice breaks a little when he's defending his actions is amazing! I don't understand why the later games lean so heavily into hiding the main villains face behind a mask every single time. Giving them a face and a personality is so much more engaging
i'd rather have the mask so i don't have to see the awful procedural animation system they're for some reason so hellbent on using, even though it looks like shit in all the games it's used in. like i'd say most of the voice acting in odyssey and valhalla (haven't played mirage) is pretty good, but the stiff, repetitive, and unexpressive body and facial animations alongside the terrible lip sync can and will ruin any cutscene immediately. legitimately some of the worst animations i've seen in a triple-a game
sorry for the rant i just hate that shit
@miniops12 Origins had good voice acting. Look up "I AM BAYEK OF SIWA"
@@twinzzlers yeah, that's why i didn't mention origins...
...and hard. You see, big companies don't want to work on these things anymore, it is hard work. Just give them your money. GIVE.
@@miniops12 Why not? That scene was amazing
"in a world without gold, we might have been heroes"
3:47 Man to this day this cutscene still breaks me, knoowing context of the novels makes this sadder Thatch was more of a father to Edward than his actual one that disowned him.
That scene barely has any words yet it hits the hardest...
granted, Edward is the one who disowned his family, not the other way around
@@manbat4582 I mean, the last thing his father ever did for him was call him poison and tell him to leave. Then his mom was like "you didn't even send a letter".
I mean, that sounded worse for her than hearing about Edward being a pirate.
novels?
@@FirstNameLastName-wv2iz there's a novel series. They vary a bit on the narration style (some are diaries, some are third person narration etc.) and only focus on the ancestor, no animus involved. Each novel focuses on a game, but the story itself doesn't follow the game step-by-step. For instance, the Assassin's Creed 3 novel, Assassin's Creed Forsaken, follows Haytham's POV from his childhood with Edward until Haytham's death, as his personal diary.
I'd heartily recommend reading at least until Black Flag; I don't remember the others, but they're probably good, too!
You know these cutscenes are great when you can’t pick which one is the best 🔥
The actors are crazy talented.
rather than which one is the least terrible now
@@kevinkommtspielen3164sadly true
@@kevinkommtspielen3164 ouch... that one hurt. The sad realisation that we'll never get an AC game as good as these again...
Ezio's Speech in AC2 (Bonfire of the Vanities DLC) still remains the best speech and best voice acting in an AC game imo.
Say what you want about Origins (I enjoyed it) but Bayek has some top notch delivery of many ranges, from soft and subtle, to distraught, rageful and cheery. I love the work put into him by his actor!
@@dignusdingus3709origins was great it was odyssey and valhalla that were the problem. origins was an rpg but its stellar characters and story carried it (i mean personally i loved valhalla and odyssey but eh)
@@dignusdingus3709True, as much as i dislike most of Origins mechanics, the acting is at least as good as the previous games.
@@dignusdingus3709Origins is in my top 3 as a longtime AC fan. Phenomenal acting by both Bayek and Aya’s actors
Og comment: AC 2
Replies: origins 👁️👄👁️
"You threw in with the VERY PEOPLE WE HATED!" is one of my favorite Edward deliveries.
That may be true, but now the word has one less snake in it... and that's enough for me
"You were the chosen one!"
"Goodbye old friend. You were a soldier once. When you fought for something real. Something beyond yourself."
Facts. Surprised nobody else talks about it here.
Shay's voice actor really tried to sell the game. He went to comic con to talk about AC Rogue with a I love AC Rogue on it when the company wouldn't advertise it.
AC Rouge was underrated but not forgotten.
It was so dumb to release 2 ac titles. If they did rouge it would have given unity more time so it wouldn’t be a buggy mess on release
I still need to get to playing it at some point. I've owned it for years, but never gotten around to actually playing it. But I've heard it's pretty solid
@@GeekdomCentral I been getting the platinum trophies for the ac games recently, and I have three left including Rogue. So far I highly recommend for you to try it, the game isn't too long. The story is good, not to mention the modern day sections giving you pieces of lore was something I loved about it; a minor part but great to see. I just wish the devs were able to cook it a little bit longer and it could've been such a fantastic game. If you like getting all the trophies/100% syncing it, with my experience so far. It has been kinda buggy so do expect some glitchy stuff to happen unless I was severely unlucky in my play through.
loved Rouge, the first AC that i've finished
A 13 year old game have better cutscenes than a 2023 one, such a shame...............
Black Flag is the GOAT.
Such a shame you never learned proper punctuation or tasteful expression.
@@Halo_Legendsalty grammar police 💀
@@Halo_Legendweep
@@haroun2033 did you contemplate on what I said, i said that mirage has the worst cutscene and voice acting i have seen in my entire life and yes i have completed it to 100% in just 25 hours
The script of the old ACs read like a novel, even like poetry sometimes, the execution only elevates it even more.
The assassin's motto really makes sense if you think about it, it may be simplistic at first, but it's inner philosophies actually had depth. And I could go on about Ezio had the best story out there, you literally saw him as a baby to his death. But I'll just leave out a few of the best quotes here
“To say that nothing is true is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile and that we must be the shepherds of our civilization.
To say that everything is permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious of tragic.”
― Ezio Auditore da Firenze
And also...
“When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, the twilight of my life, this understanding has passed into contentment.
Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mia Sofia.
Forever yours,
Ezio Auditore.”
My child-brain right then and there started to appreciate life a bit more when I read and understood those words. It made playing through the old games worth it because of the story alone
I truly missed and love the old AC games. they are filled with passion, life, true emotion, and gameplay from actors and actresses. shame that Ubisoft killed all of that in the new ac series and pitty that we will never have any chances to see those ever again.
Well. I guess it's time to find a new story. Explore grassroots, look beyond the norms. I think history is repeating itself right now with videogame prices increasing near the 100$ mark, and more niche things are being sought out, in a time parallel to when videogames were just being a new niche fad for the few.
@@dawsondebell1603AC will not get better if Ubisoft will not change. And Ubisoft will never change with the current CEO, who is a delusional idiot who only cares about money and chasing the latest trend.
Hope isn't over as long as they still produce. Alone this year over heard there a few new ones and a remakes to come. And honestly, I'm hyped
eivor VA is great, the writers didn't use them well tho
@@nazaG_89 the same thing can be said for va kassandra and alexios
That first cutscene absolutely got me heated when everyone refused to listen to the Protagonist as if he was crazy. Not an Assassin's Creed fan, but I felt that passion as he did
If you played Rouge, you would absolutely understand the anger in his voice.
Shay (Protagonist) had to run for his life when Lisbon was demolished from an earthquake thanks to an artifact of Eden he was sent to retrieve by Achilles (The man he''s yelling at)
Now we have robotic charecters and lifeless cutsceanes
Blackbeard has to be the best side character in Assassin's Creed. He just had so much depth.
Him and Mary are the reason you tear up at the end when you see all your friends sitting at that table, smiling.
If you look into the actual people they are based on, you'd appreciate the game even more. AC4 is easily one of their best works
I like how intelligent they make Blackbeard. Year he’s a pirate but he understood better then anyone that fear was the best way to take ships.
Nope
Leonardo Da Vinci is the best side character in the Franchise
“Looks fine.”
“Of course it does”
Always makes me laugh
The way Blackbeard says, "Of course it does." at 3:04, after giving the speech that he did the way he did, was awesomely funny XD.
Dude I just started replaying Black Flag a week ago. This game was a masterpiece. Not that I ever forgot the emotional punch it had. I think I was damn near fighting tears when The Parting Glass was sung at the end
dude i also booted up my old 360 and started playing it, ive been grinding to get 100% on all upgrades so i can go through this story stacked
@@Therealzone56 oh wow you’re doing all that BEFORE the story?? Siiiick lol
Although you will have to progress the story on occasion to unlock more regions of the world map. That was something I kept running into
I did the same thing. Made some of those ship battles ridiculously easy when you can super charge and have maxed out cannons@Memnoch_the_Devil
I cry like a baby every time I even think about that ending, as soon as that Irish goddess starts singing its like a river comes flowing out of my eyes.
@@TheNightsWatch-bp6xi that ending got me, but so did that last part with Mary. That was a gut punch I was NOT expecting
The scene, where Edward remenisce the images of all his dead comrades enjoying at a table having drinks and laughs is just.
😔
The voice actor for bayek in origins will always give me shivers with how you can feel his anger and vengeance as he assassinates the order that was involved with his sons death
He had some good moments, but his writing still left a lot to be desired in my opinion
I like his voice when he's debating with The Hyena.
"It is not meant for us!"
He understand that she only wanted reunion, but the path she took was wrong.
AND HERE IS YOUR NOBODY!
@@GLMusic12EVERYONE, who sniffed the air that day, IN SIWA!
@@matthewmalagari2465 Agreed, for all that is great about Origins, if the writing for Bayek was just a little better he wouldve been one of the best protags of the franchise
The last cutscene (The Epilogue one) of Assassin's Creed 4 always makes me cry. Its so heavy on emotion even without words
Parting glass
I can tell you were replaying Blackbeard's mission because of two reasons:
1.- The Mayan armor, which you can't unlock until the final secuence.
2.- The fact that you're not allowed to use the golden pistols lol.
Don't worry, we've all repeated that mission.
Οκ......
@@newhybrid101 ?
I gave it a replay this past Christmas.
@@newhybrid101what's up?
I replayed that mission only just to hear in a world without gold we might've been heroes one of the finest dialogue in history of gaming
“Well don’t just sit there like a barrel of fish we’re celebrating MY RETIREMENT!!!!” Love how excited Blackbeard is when he says that
Kenway looks so much like Heath Ledger
Wow you are honestly right bro
Fr.he looks like a mix of heath ledger and chris hemsworth.
Weird things is, its matt ryan's face 😂😂
Charlie Hunnam would be ideal candidate for this role if there was a film. But yeah, I've seen people saying that Charlie looks like Heath a little bit 🤗
@@Blackfield_11 Not quite. Matt Ryan is a brunette and has brown eyes, Kenway is blonde with blue eyes, and there's probably more stuff that was changed but harder to notice
"In a world without gold, we might've been heroes." No words cand escribe how hard that hit me when I heard it for the first time.
1:00 Rodrigo's deadpan delivery wil never fail to deliver in making me lol
Thanks, because of that blackbeard clip i had to watch entire 2 hours of making of pirates of the carribean
KENWAYYYYYY!!!!! IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOLD.. WE MIGH'VE BEEN HEROS
i never played rogue but my god that scene is so wonderfully acted
its the worst all out of the others tbh
@sdfrasvxc2913 yeah I can believe that. came out of nowhere and didn't even release on the next gens
@@sdfrasvxc2913the assassins deserved everything that Shay brought to them
@@thomas_walkeryes it did, on a remaster
@@dubstrap6095 but not originally
I've played all these AC games but the best scenes for me is when Thatch died which made me sad and angry that I want to seek revenge just like when you get betrayed by Shepherd in original CoD MW2
2:31 such bright pearly teeth for a Pirate.
Thatch was a man of class, despite being a pirate
Teeth dont really decay as much when you dont have access to refined sugars
you can look at skulls from people before 1500s, their teeth were perfect even in their old ages. Skulls after refined sugar reached the common people show decay
Thatch death was so freaking sad one of my fav missions
"In a world without gold, We might have been heroes" is the best black beard quote.
"A person meddling with these Precursor machines could."
"I swear. That's the last time I ever. EVER. Touch any PRECURSOR CRAP."
2:14 ok that quote was pretty awesome thought 10/10 writing.
It dosen’t matter which game is better, bc these actors did a phenomenal way to persuade the story
As a portuguese, i can confirm that we are taught in school that a man called Shay Patrick Cormac was responsible by destroying our capital in 1755.
It's amazing how Ezio's voice actor from AC2 (and his vocal coach, director etc. obviously) managed to capture the desperate blood-curdling cries of a teen *and* the tenured voice of a wise man in the same project for the same character.
They used to have such fantastic voice actors in these games. And now you listen to Mirage's cutscenes and.. well...
Mirage voice actors did a great job what are you talking about?
@@GLMusic12 A couple of them maybe were pretty good (Roshan). But the rest was just Odyssey side-side-quest level acting, including the protagonist...
facts, it's godawful now
More due to the writing and directing than anything else.
@@bananawithaknife yes this. Can't purely blame the voice actors, just like with the newer trash animated movie nowadays, it is the director who to blame
Gotta be honest with you, the only time guards in AC Black Flag were actually a challenge, was in this cutscene: 4:00
Lmao facts 😂
I'm a weeb.. I played asassins game both in english and japanese.. Damn the voice especially japanese edward really capture the emotions
Cesare's VA was putting everything into the role damn
That Blackbeard scene hits me everytime. I replayed that mission so many times bruh
1:00 when I go to the supermarket with my mom to buy candy lol
Man, these are some of the best AC games. Black Flag has always been my favorite, and the raw emotion behind all of the characters is one of the main reasons. But Rouge did just as amazing of a job.
Such passion for their jobs. A passion that is sorely missed in today's games. A passion we may never see again.
Course it does 3:04
The characters from Assassin’s Creed BlackFlag will always have a special part in my heart
"In a world without gold, we might have been hero's."
Went from this to mostly dead, soul-less voice acting. RIP AC, you had a good run
"I cannot. I will not let this happen again. All those souls lost...
One more hardly matters."
- Shay Patrick Cormak
The first time playing AC4 I shedded a few tears when Blackbeard died. Still one of the best AC games
I love how well made old Assassin's Creeds were
This compilation has more detailed facial animations than the recent and the previous titles after Syndicate.
It's the first time I see that last scene with Ed. Thatch in English. And oh boy... I''m... crying...
There were some great cutscenes in AC 3 as well.
The scene where Connor finally kills Charles Lee is an excellent example of "show, don't tell" in video game cutscenes.
I’m really glad I played rouge, never played when it came out and finally did a while back. I was super impressed
This franchise is the totem of my childhood. Nothing but awesome memories and sweet nostalgia.
"Give your quarry something to fear, some hellish thing from a fever'd dream, and men will DROP TO THEIR KNEES, PLEADING FOR THEIR LORD, BEFORE AUGHT ELSE!"
"Looks fine"
" 'course it does..."
Not only the voice acting but the character's design are amazing
Black Beard: Of course it does👍
It's so good. I miss those days, it's so refreshing to see them again.
THAT AC Brotherhood scene is probably the best in any game in history
In a world without gold, we might've been heroes - Black beard
This is the best I heard. :_)
1:34 they’re so many generic ways that this line could have been delivered, but this is not one of them
The music is the cherry on top
Assassin's Creed II feels like playing the best TeleNovela
Mirage was a step in the right direction but Ubi need better writers. Plot was what made the classics so great
agreed
"Looks fine."
" 'course it does. :)"
3:34 This "FATHER!" scream always gives me goosebumps
Those old AC games have high tier movie quality voice acting, it's genuinely awesome, a movie adaptation of one of the existing games stories would be awesome (instead of whatever the heck the real assassins creed movie was going for)
how the fuck do brotherhood facial animations look better than Dragon Age veilguard
It is always a treat listening to Thatch
The death of Ben Hornigold too "You threw in with the very Kind we once hated !"
Imo black flag and unity had best cutscene quality among all ACs
Origins deserves more appreciation for the cutscenes as well
Italian VA in Assassins creed 2 and brotherhood were the best
Ezio screaming "Father" always hit the heartstrings
I thought the title was ironic, but it's accurate, this is pretty good
One of my favs is the serious conversation Edward had with Torres.
'You would see all of mankind corralled into a neatly furnished prison, safe and sober, yet dulled beyond reason and sapped of all spirit'
Black Flag will forever be the best AC game ever created.
Balck flag will always be my favorite AC game
this is why even though these games are old, they are still have the best traits in them that even some of the other games didn't have
Greatly appreciate the past tense of the description
the blackbeard scene is too perfect
Assassin's creed revelation and brother hood were and still is the best Assassin's game I ever played. The cutscenes , the fighting and God the voice acting was the best I ever seen 😊
I loved Shay's voice and accent lol.
I always knew thatch had to die.. but fleeing okracoke I was just stunned, I could barely draw breath, simply couldnt fathom the emotion of it all. Blackbeard's death scene really set a dark tone for the rest of kenways life.
Assassin’s creed 4 to this day is still my favorite assassins creed wonder voice acting and animations and just the overall fun experience.
Love how thatch goes from "the literal demon in voice" to the most normal voice ive ever heard
I love how Thatch is just like, “course it does”
Thatch's death broke me when I played Black Flag for the first time. I remember destroying every enemy ship out of anger after that while I was supposed to get away
Teach: *"MEN WILL DROP TO THEIR KNEES, PLEADING FOR THEIR LORD BEFORE OUGHT ELSE!"*
Bonnet: _"oh god.."_
Kenway: "it looks fine."
Teach: "... 'course it does."
Looks like we don't need modern games and modern hardware, because we are just play old games, old title games and old great games
Watching AC4 make me remembered that the entire Kenway's bloodline is a beast man!! They could charge 10 soldiers openly and come out unscatched.
Cesare Eng voice actor is so goodd make me want to replay brotherhood just for him and Ezio
Matt Ryan was absolutely fantastic as Edward Kenway really made the character 3 dimensional. I feel like that game got him the role of John Constantine which he made his own and had become the definitive portrayal of John Constantine for many people.
These moments were the peak of assassins creed
The ezio games had some of the best cutscenes/voice acting in the whole ac series, imo... i went back and played them a week ago couldnt beleive it, and ive played ALL the ac games
“THATCH!!” -everyone who had to go through that scene
I live in Russia and Russian is my native language, but when it comes to Assassins Creed, I've been doing original English voice acting for 10 years now, because dubbing speech can't even come close to this charisma. And even though English is not my native language, I feel its sound in games more strongly than Russian. Always an amazing cast and a lot of effort is invested in working on the voice acting.
The Russian dubbing is very expressive and diverse. Not always, of course, but nevertheless, I would say that the dubbing school in Russia is at a high level.
