The English voice acting in the new FFVII trailer is about as bad as the English voice acting in the Shenmue trailer, for what it's worth.
I noticed that too.

Most English voice acting in things of Japanese origin, whether anime or games, tends to be kind of poor, doesn't it? MGS might be the exception, but isn't MGS in English both in Japan and the West?
No, the mocap actor of Snake is also his voice (at least until MGS3), but Kojima is such a huge Hollywood fan, I'm sure he wants the lip flapping to look nice and natural for both languages.

It sounds like an anime dub to me, which usually sounds pretty bad.Interesting. No native speaker though, so I might not hear the bad things. But to me FF7 voice acting sounds professional while the Shenmue 3 voice acting sounds cringe worthy, just like the first 2 games.
We all have our echo chambers and that's ok, but I really do find the narrative some push that "E3 previews were a disaster" utterly ridiculous, given how the huge majority of previews were either positive or mixed at worst. Some of the hyperpole that came about was ridiculous, when you have the guys from Digital Foundry - who, whilst Shenmue fans or not, actually know what they're talking about - claiming it looked and played fine.
@danielmann861 Jeff from GB just hates Shenmue (as we all know) and has been a detractor ever since the KS was announced, unsurprisingly. The way he brashly dismisses it as a terrible idea is strange to see from an industry vet, but I guess everybody has their biases, and Jeff's held onto his for 18 years now so I doubt he's ever going to change.
I thought his comments at E3 about people saying it was "the worst demo they'd ever seen" seemed...exagerrated? Like, he enjoyed announcing that a bit too much. Especially when Alex was just like, "yeah, it wasn't great"...but then he really didn't have much to say about it at all, like it was more inoffensive than bad to him.
It sucks that someone influential like that shits on Shenmue but what can you do. I've heard similarly dismissive and juvenile comments from Patrick Klepek, among others, but at this point I'm just like...whatever. Go enjoy the trash you enjoy, and I'll enjoy Shenmue.
Yeah, I know all about Jeff’s hate boner for Shenmue.
Honestly, I don’t really pay too much attention to Giant Bomb’s opinions as a whole. They’re a bit too cynical as a whole for my liking (at times). Plus I think their best years are long behind them. Not that this has anything to do with Shenmue, but I think their output in recent years has been pretty lame. Every time I watch them now, I just get the feeling they don’t have passion for the industry anymore and are doing the job just because they don’t know what else to do with themselves.
You compare their recent output to the whiskey media days and it feels so lifeless and dull now. Their cynical cool kid shtick has kind of lost its appeal to me and now it feels like they’ve crossed the line into straight up bitter jadedness.
Anyways, I know all about Jeff’s hate boner for Shenmue so the comment didn’t surprise me. But the point is don’t be surprised when some outlets do inevitably shit on the game no matter what.
