Am I the only one who thinks Adult Kastor's voice sounds just a bit too high? He almost sounds like he's still going through puberty despite being in his late 20s lol
Completely normal: Apparently, Arkantos and Kastor are both voiced by the same voice actor, who also voiced them in the original Age of Mythology, Daniel Riordan. Microsoft bringing back the original actor is a HUGE achievement!
Kastor's new voice is not a big deal, but the lack of determination in his voice, the old one has some kind of fearlessness, ruthlessness in it. I heard some missions are reworked, so old voices won't work 100%, thus new ones are needed. I don't know why authentic accents are a serious thing these days. I don't want to bring in other games, but the recent Black Myth Wukong, they don't even try to make English-speaking actors mimic Chinese accent. Doing respective accents just highly ruins characters and nothing more.
@@adaml929 It will take a while... I've uploaded a video where I did the same with the Cutscenes... adding the old voices... It was not easy The timing doesn't properly match of the Cutscenes and old audio sequence... I had to tweak the duration of the clip somewhere fast ... Somewhere slow and so on... It looks much better that way... Make sure to check on that video as well ☺️❣️
Ash Williams Army of darkness or Josh McGrath / Max Steel or Action Man 1993 be like Arkantos or Kratos God of war santa monica studios Hotaru Tomoer / sailor saturn be like Castor or Atreus
I don't remember how it used to be in the classic AoM, but I think the characters are simply way too big compared to the buildings, which makes the cutscenes look very weird in my opinion. The soldiers are literally the exact same height as their house... Even the walls really don't feel that impressive. Also, I feel like the voices were much better in the classic one (might be because of nostalgia though, I should check again). To be honest, I think I could have been hyped for an AoM 2, but I don't think the original needed a remaster that much, and what was forgivable 22 years ago is a lot less for 2024 standards. So overhaul, if I was given this game 22 years ago, I am not even sure I would have enjoyed it more than the original, and this is certainly not what I expected to see for Age of Empires franchise (which was extremely impressive and ahead of its time at its peak) to become more than 2 decades later. I would have expected that a 2024 AoE would have very impressive and convincing animations, a lot more units on the battlefield, very innovative gameplay, a very smart AI, much better cinematics, etc. I don't think fancier graphics are enough, especially if some other aspects feel like a let down. I'm glad Microsoft gave it a try, but unfortunately it really feels like AoE died with Ensemble Studios and that it will never actually be back. Fortunately there are a few other good RTS being developped by other companies.
I don't disagree one bit with all that you've said! It's a big let down to be honest... but again... since I have already purchased the game... no point in complaining... better get back to editing videos 😂😂😅
Oh boy the VA for General Melagius 😬
... is s#it! Yeah I know😞
That deer is curios 12:53😂😂😂😂

No... Only for Arkantos... Kastor's voice actor is nowhere as good as the old...
Old was so much better 😞

@@lanh.7573 completely agree on what you say about kastor and i will add the krios lacks the wisdom in his voice
Apparently they couldn’t find anyone below a baritone for any of the voice cast. Krios sounds like a preteen
oooof those voice over replacement mods can't come fast enough

Hello Guys!
If you like my work and want to see more AOM Retold contents
Please Subscribe ❤ and help me reach 1k subs☺️
Did anyone else saw the deer looking were the titan was as well as the others on the Norse cutscene? XD
@@Memo_99999 😂😂 nice Lil detail
13:17 hahahaha I love the kept this little detail
😂
I hope there will be a mod for original voicelines. and OST too
There surely will be 🤞
I foresee someone immediately creating a mod to add in the original voices 😅
I hope they do it fast!
@@Neonathann already done
They even added a mod for old unit voices
Always thought it was weird that Cerberus was on the side of the titans
@@cohortConnor 😂 the only good looking Titan in the campaign
Ah, I miss the old voice cast.
@@parsman9914 well I've made a video on that...
New Cutscenes with Old voice...
Check it out! 😄
The beautiful Prometeus
@@israelrugbyortega 😶 don't tell me you really mean it 💀
Gaia redesign... I get it but it's still worse
Yes... but still better than new Prometheus 😶
@@Neonathann They made her look like Groot.
@@barbiquearea you make it sound like it's a bad thing
WTF IS KASTOR'S VOICE :ooooooo
@@valykiller96 The worst in the campaign 😐
they can win fight against all titan if arkantos (god mode) join with them -_-
thats what i think
@@fanglimagk4391 more easier if Zeus himself comes to help😂
bet he's a god now and cannot interfere directly
Ash Williams Army of darkness or Josh McGrath / Max Steel or Action Man 1993 be like Arkantos or Kratos God of war santa monica studios
Hotaru Tomoer / sailor saturn be like Castor or Atreus
Don't know all of the references but yeah got the point 👍
I don't like Kastor's voice one bit, whines like a child
The worst voice in this campaign 😔
Saddest part is its apparently the same voice actor who does Arkantos. Who does a *good* job. So clearly its a direction thing more than anythimg.
suits his character, honestly
K.r.a.t.o.s ...........
Should be included 😂
Dafuq with prometheus
He's no longer a Titan... they made him a Pokemon 😐
I disliked Gaia's model. I know she must be a nature-aligned Goddess, but this model reminds me of Groot rather than Gaia.
So many controversies with this model...
Many like many dislike
I personally preferred the old one
Honestly this voice acting is bad bad 😬
Like too bad... Can't be more worse 😂
