It's hilariously bad voice acting, but what's the story behind it? I have localization for the games was rushed which is why they never bothered to translate Zero's attacks, but I'm not sure about that.
Legit came in to say this exactly
I read somewhere that DC Douglas(Wesker's RE5 voice actor) said that the original Resident Evil's voice acting was bad because you had a Japanese director directing English speaking actor and going with whatever takes he thought sounded good.Resident Evil's got bad VA too. It was the era, you only had so much budget and maybe a fraction of that would actually go to voice acting.
And they would mash multiple takes into a single clip and get stuff like the "don't open that door" line.I read somewhere that DC Douglas(Wesker's RE5 voice actor) said that the original Resident Evil's voice acting was bad because you had a Japanese director directing English speaking actor and going with whatever takes he thought sounded good.
I remember wondering why they couldn't just get the cartoon voice actors. I had no concept of budgets or unions back then.
