Let me add to the licensing issue with the voices, just so you understand a little bit clearer why my lame excuse is rather valid to me at the very least.
The voice agency will want a seperated deal for us to distribute voices outside of the software package, even as DLC. And, we cannot simply license it forever.
So this means, we can distribute the voices in a large ass patch for a limited time window, for an additionally large sum of money (If every party even agrees to us doing so, which is a whole other can of worms). So as lame as I am, I am just making sure that instead of people getting a game physically and eventually having to deal with all those people who jump on the game way down the line who would not get voices potentially, the game will be available digitally for longer with voices.
Trust me, I gone out of my way to talk to Sony, the company, everyone about seeing how this could be possible. I can only bleed so much money before it becomes unreasonable for us to move forward on what every fan wants.
So, lame I know, but lame it will be. It's a complicated issue which most fans will shrug off as us not trying hard enough most likely.
Apologies for the audio quality, we haven't recieved our proper camera equipment at the office yet so we tried our best.
