Can someone please explain to me what is the big difference between the voice of the 'new' and 'old' Max? Apart from obviously being done by different voice actors, the feeling of the voice seems identical to me. Is there really that big a difference? What is it? I can't tell, can someone enlighten me?
When Telltale first started out they had a few horrific voice talent for bone and partailly S&M season 1. Though now voices they hire for the games are superb, and I'Ive grown to like, if not, perfer Kasten/Nowlin over Farmer/Jameson.
I agree that they started out meh. But, they've gotten way better. I prefer David Nowlin and William Kasten(Andrew Chaiken is a good actor, but he isn't Max).
I don't get the hate of the new actors. I really like them. First episode I agree they felt a little off, but that's getting a new character, it's going to be. By the third episode especially, and often before on lines, I would say the new actors (well, max has a different actor in episode one) are just as good, if not better (although I admit familiarity with the newer voices adds a large bias).
And as Telltale were pretty much the guys working on the cancelled game...
i never heard the old voices till now and personally i like the new voices MUCH better but thats probably because i only played the newer games and never seen the show before but it still stands i think they do a great job and act out the voices with great feeling and truly sound like a real conversastion
For me, both Max voices sound similar, and David Nowlin for me has a less annoying voice than Bill Farmer, and you said that the new Sam and Max has no emotion, but I sensed the same amount in Hit the Road. Not to say I don't like Hit the Road, I just prefer the voices of the Telltale Sam and Max. Also, as the series goes on, David Nowlin gets better at voicing Sam. You should play "They Stole Max's Brain!", which is the third season, his acting there is actually a lot better!
love all the games... what's possibly a shame is that lucasarts almost completed the sequel before canceling it.. all that work was wasted.. i support telltale.. but would love to see a completed version of 'freelance police' surface one day.
Yes, what a shame, they didn't bring back Goofy to voice a pistol-packing anthropomorphic freelance police dog.
Both sets of voices work just fine; because Lucasarts was too lame to bring back an awesome game doesn't mean that anybody who picks up the slack must be failing.
I would just like to say culture shock may not have been the best choice for the new voice acotrs due to max getting another voice actor in the next episode.
I don't think the voices are that bad. Here in germany we had the same german voice actors for Season One like the ones from Hit The Road (german version). I was very happy, because i really love that game since i was young.
Now Atari shitted all over my childhood by changing the german voices in Season 2. :(
I rather play it in English yet, it's much better.
I actually think theirs more to the fact that everybody dislikes the newer Sam & Max. I actually think its the fact that everybody has more nostalgia with "Hit the Road". and that's something you just can't get with the newer games. I personally don't have much nostalgia and therefore find them to be equally good.
Prefer the new Max voice and old Sam. Huge fan of the lucasart adventures and S&M. The new Max sounds insane and natural. New Sam on the other hand sounds old and slow. Was so weird hearing the old voices after ~10 years. Good work to Telltale games for doing an extremely good job. Screw lucasarts for bringing out trailers for s&m2 then cancelling it. Same thing with Full Throttle!
Yeah, the voice acing's much more alive in "Sam & Max Hit The Road"(Telltale Sam is especially lifeless in his voice). And the second one doesn't have the unpredictable yet charming and marketable cynicism of the first game and the comic. It seems more family friendly or somethin'.
Actually the first episode probably has the worst voice acting the series. A different actor took over for Max (he is far superior in every way) and Sam also got a lot better.
A matter of opinion. For me Hit The Road is the definitive one. I feel alive in that environment. In the 3D episodic version, everything is lifeless, dull, insipid, grey and disembodied. Just the fact that it's episodic churns my insides. Simply because episodic content is harder to produce, and invariably the plots suffer. Again, that's my personal opinion, you don't have to agree. Just as it is my opinion that the new Sam bites (and I don't mean that in the sense of physical biting).
@mackeymkay Much of your "personal opinion" is based on self-serving assumptions. For example, the ridiculous idea you have that plot suffers in episodic games is one that appears to have been wholly produced from the deep dank recesses of your rectum for the sole purpose of justifying your irrational hatred of a game that you've deemed to be terrible simply because it's not the one from the 90's that you've got a nostalgia boner for. You're the worst sort of fan-boy.
@Cyberxion I haven't got any nostalgia boners, it just isn't bland. I didn't play the two games that far apart, actually. But thank you for your tremendous insight. Consider me smitten and humbled. Fact of the matter is, I don't like the Telltale version. What I was referring to about plot in episodic games is that it's harder to write a story in less than a month and make it as good as one that took a year to write for (drafting, editing), for example. Anyway, thanks again, Dr. Freud.
i love the new voices, and i dont see what you mean b y lacking emotion, if anuything their more emotional in their dialogue, anyway, i need to play hit the road
I think the voices from both "Hit the Road" and the episodic games are great in their own way, but in the end, the so called "best voices" comes down to one's personal opinion. For example, I personally perfer the newer voices over the older ones because I think it fits the characters more. But I could be biased since I was not fortunate enough to have played "Hit the Road" in my childhood.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I've played both, the new Sam & Max is pretty lame. The old one was so much better - there were so many more places you could go on the map and interact with, and more thinking involved where you could combine different inventory items. It was a much more fun game. This new one is so dull and slow. Don't care about the voice acting - it's the gameplay that sucks in the new one! Telltale, what have you done??
Like the others said, they changed the voice of Max after the second episode, due to a medical emergency with the first actor. Feel kinda bad for saying, but I'm glad it changed because the new guy does a awesome job in my opinion. Sam's voice took some getting use to, but I can accept the idea of Sam having the melow detective tone w/ a fondness for banjo playing. Can't wait to play the new episodes.
Max in the first episode was good at times. I think it might have been my first impression of the voices, since I was a little unease with Sam at first. I could bet that if the first guy continued with voicing him we would of still enjoyed the games.
It was short, but it was a great game, very original. I remember watching the trailer for the new game & being a little irked by the new Ben voice since the old voice actor passed away. Those Cave Fish were awesome, though.
@KewDrew later seasons of sam and max from telltale the voice acting gets better as they became more familiar with the characters, look up sam and max season 2 and 3 and you'll see what i mean
I don't know, but it could have been that the original actors didn't want to do it, or they couldn't be reached. Or dead. I dunno.
The dialogue of the newer series is still funny enough on their own, and while the voice actors could have done more to add to it, it doesn't distract me so much from the jokes.
Sam sounds damned good to me, he always was meant to be this unflabbable sorta Private Dick. As for Max, his voice acting in culture shock is a little wooden at times but he gets better and the other actor for episode 2 onwards is amusing.
You didn't compare much between the two games. The only differences I noticed were that, besides, the sounds of the two voices, Sam seemed more undead, but Max still seems to be pretty close to the target. In any case you should be worried about playing the game, not listening to peoples' voices.
They didn't use the exact same voice actors that were used in a game released 13 years ago and this FILLS ME WITH RAGE. And the new puzzles totally suck. I mean, having to lure that one guy under the window so you could drop a bowling ball on his head? That's not nearly as intiutive as attaching Jesse Jame's severed hand to a broken golf ball retriever and sticking it inside the worlds largest ball of twine. You know what else was really awesome? Thundercats. That was some good voice acting.
Me? Naw. Other rapings of my childhood that induce rage are Michael Bay's Transformers movie, and Bethesda making Fallout 3. *Especially* Fallout 3. I was expressing my extreme displeasure at the NMA forums, and got banned because they thought I was 'obsessive and unstable'. Bethesda fellating tools.
@plinkman0 i think the most important thing is that the jokes in the new game are lame as hell, i can remember laughing approximately twice during the entirety of season 1
Telltale did their best but i still think the 2D world is a lot better and much more exciting but still telltale guys did a great job in making sam n max in a 3d world ...as for the voices i gotta admit the sounds of the new sam is annoying
It's probably your nostalgia speaking, not your objective opinion. You should be glad that Steve Purcell finally had the chance to write new games, and not focus on the difference in the voice acting; because that's all it is: different, not worse. (Although I personally also preferred Max' old actor)
Well I did miss the original voices when the first season of Sam & Max(the game) started, I've grown to like the new ones. =) Oh, oh, and now you have to make another version of this since Andrew Chaikin only did the voice of Max for Culture Shock.
Sorry, I have to disagree with you here -- the later games are better. What you have criticized as lack of emotion, I find to be hilariously dead-on deadpan delivery. Rock on, Telltale.
Ok, lemme put it this way: People who hate Sam and Max 2 will never be satisfied. S&M 2 kicks total ass. AND it was made by the people who were making Freelance Police. Telltale don't have money to hire Bill Farmer. So they're compromising.
Perhaps the reason for hiring new voices isnt the budget. I think sometimes you have to make something new. But this isnt bad becaus the new voices are realy good!!
No offence but you (and many fans of the series) should be amazed that a sequel even got released in the first place seeing as the last one was completely cancelled. A piss poor comparison too if I do say so myself... :P
Heh! the new voice acting is just fine but it's not the voices we listen to it's what comes out of the voice. At Least STeve purcell was involved that much with the job
the old one sounds like they are literally reading lines and that is not what you want when voicing a character.

Jack Black? Hell's yeah, I'd watch anything as long as it's Jack Black, even Sam & Max.

That does sound cool,Jack playing Max.Maybe even Freddie Prinze Jr. or someone else playing Sam.

I think both games have great voice actors.
And the new puzzles DO suck... But the old ones were also a sharp razor to swallow X.x

The new voices fit well. The puzzles in the new game suck.

having gone through both games (although i guess #2 is in six parts), i must say i prefer the first one.

They couldn't get the original voice actors. Whoop-dee.
I'm just glad we're even GETTING a new game. Steve Purcell had to wait until Lucasarts no longer held the license to make it.

What are you talking about?
The new voice acting is fine.. nothing wrong with it at all even if it does sound slightly different.
i think you're too attached to the old sam n max
