2024 Game of the Year Awards — Achievement Awards

You can say a line in three different ways and they will all come across differently. Voice acting isn’t just about “sounding good”, but making the character come to life. A lot of voice acting is wasted in games in fact some of the most wasted assets and resources in a game. So many games have bad voice acting (mostly JRPGs in English) and it only seems that most AAA studios can afford the good voice actors. Sadly, this is one category a studio needs money for.

Silent Hill 2 (2024)

Silent Hill 2 doesn’t have a lot of voiced lines, but by golly do the actors really bring it during their short run time. Silent Hill 2 already had passable voice acting for its time, but there’s something here that will kind of dig into your soul a bit with the pain and sorrow in these character’s voices. The voice acting director did a stand up job getting the most out of these guys.
