Star Control 3 - The Chmmr

[Juff0Wup]

The Voice acting in Ur-Quan masters was ... was beyond comparsion with this crap... The echoing booming mechanical voice was so more effective than this fake-robot voicework, apparently done by 8 year old.

[marrizzon]

Yeah, the Chmmr could have been better, and their ships weren't nearly as good in this game, Melee in SC2 WAS BETTER. IT PLEASED ME. I really miss the journey from these games though, even thought the third one wasn't great, it had some great parts. Unforgettable characters, but they botched a lot of the storyline.

[heavytrike]

huh, i thought they zapsats, you know, like satellites 

[Cassavius]

There's something "Dalek" about them...probably no co-incidence...8)

[neglesaks]

@Cassavius DESTROY!!!!

[TheBlackMage1]

Picture is okay, faster voice needed though

[meleeman90]

It's Arnold Schwarzenegger! :D

[silverleaf81]

at least they look alright...weird voice though...

[ONNIHOLTTA]

terrible voice. SC2 is so much better. 3 is terrible. 3-D is terrible

[thegameulost]

sooo... ~ 0:07 = chmmr are fucking pissed, 0:33 = normal, 0:47 = happy (they love talking about about their ships.),

[Juff0Wup]

It looks like a crystal hand job. Or crystal penetration.

LOL

[Zernium]

This voice is at least as decent as the Sc2 voice I think, even if it is different. In Sc2 they kind of ended each sentence like they were going to continue speaking, or like each sentence was a question, whether it was or not. Didn't really bother me, but I can see how some wouldn't like it.

[GullGet9]

EX-TERM-IN-ATE!

[thegameulost]

crystal sex ftw.

[fenixreborn]

These guys make the best ships. I used to make a fleet of mostly chmmr ships

[Veke99]

sc2 voice was good

[Herbarius]

Keep in mind the original SC2 did not have voice at all! Only the rare 3DO version had voices, this is where they took the voices for the freeware version (UQM) from.

[Shavarnarak]

Poor Chmmr, they never had a good voice in SC2 or SC3...

I always imagined they'd actually sound more singsong. Kind of like crystal music with mechanical reverb. Like a synthesizer.

They really should sound pleasant I think, and not annoying.

[ZarlaSheenaza]

That's a good idea! :D I would totally be behind a Chmmr with a crystal type voice.

[Shavarnarak]

Yeah, I mean there used to be all this stuff about the Chenjesu being so pleasant. So I imagined they'd have a pleasant slightly musical crystal thing going. Maybe with a synthesizer reverb thing from the Mmrnmhrm when they become the Chmmr.

But instead they DRONE both times. I wouldn't want to take orders from that...

[Kizor]

@ZarlaSheenaza If you have ever encountered a crystal type voice, please share it with us.

[ladystorykeeper]

Hey! the Chmmr had a good voice on SC2

[Shavarnarak]

Nah, they droned there to. It just totally doesn't match with the way they should sound in my mind. Which is more melodiously crystally (Chenjesu) with a synthesizer reverb (Mmrnmhrm).

But hey, I suppose everyone has different interpretations with the races.

I like some of SC2's voices. The Ilwrath voice in fact is great! But some like the Orz, Yehat or Chmmr voice didn't work for me. (Although at least the Yehat weren't grating to listen to.)

[Veke99]

agreed

[liamloga]

I've always thought the Chenjesu would have a harsh Cristal voice like grating across glass and the Mmrnmhrm having a droning voice like the daptaklatlak.

[kendaigmj]

@Shavarnarak

Like a vocaloid?

[KensanOni]

@Shavarnarak You know, if I were to do it nowdays, I'd use Autotune to make the Chrmm sound cool

[vissenekku]

@Shavarnarak That's a real cool idea. Though I do think that Erol Otus did fine work voice acting them in SCII. But surely all races voices could have been better

[Kation666]

liked more the Echo kind of talking in SC2

[RevNoahWhateley]

Watch 'em throb. Freudian.

[Herbarius]

ZAPSTATS?? WTF?

They're called ZapSats!! This comes from "satellites", so its "Sats" not "Stats"...

also since when are Chmmr ALL CAPS?

what a disgusting game...

[ZarlaSheenaza]

I definitely give you the ZapStats (wtF Starcon3) but the Chmmr talked in all caps in the original SC2, so that wasn't changed.

[voidguard]

STAR CONTROL 3 FOR THE LOOSE! BURN IT! BURN IT! (sorry i played through the WHOLE THING)

[DaberWebir]

Before the release from the slave shield they were all lower-case. That might be where the confusion arises from.

[ZarlaSheenaza]

Well technically, they weren't the Chmmr at that point, only the Chenjesu and the Mmrnmhrm. When you join them together into the Chmmr, THEN they talk in all caps.

[DarkestFreedom01]

Where did you get the Star Control sound files? My DOSbox won't play SC3's voices! only the music! Can you help me?

[Alexyvil]

The Chmmrs in SC3 dont even sound like a robotic voice at all, but more like Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice or something weirder.

[AgenonTaeche]

Its ok, but it would be so much cooler if it had the SC2 voice.

[Sartorius7]

Wow, retro robot voice.

[DrunkenBee1]

1.The chmmr look alot better than they look in Sc2

2.They sounds like moron robots

3.they are pretty uselss in the game. they get thrown off most of the game

[Fireholly99]

CAPS
