What Happened to Unique Voices Per Pedestrian?

In terms of actual interaction: Pedestrian phrases are repeated by different (in appearance) pedestrians in the same voices. All I hear are the same 5-10 voices anywhere in the map. Each voice has only a few phrases too. For example, I was wandering the beach goers in Vespucci and I heard the same 3 phrases about 27 times by 10 different looking peds.

 

In GTASA, this wasn't the case. Each pedestrian was assigned a voice and table of responses. If duplicates were used, it wasn't obvious at all. And the number of responses were so many that I rarely heard the same phrases.

 

My feeling is: If you're going to use the same voice and thus phrases for 2 different peds. Make sure each ped can be found in a completely different location and that it matches the appearance of the ped. Too often, I hear a man's voice from a female ped or vice-versa.

 

This just kills the immersion. Anyone else notice these things too?

Some pedestrians seem to spawn more frequently than others... I mean there's a reason why most people can't stand the "f*ck me in ass" guy.

I didn't see that alot in Grand Theft Auto V. I have more problems with the fact that people die faster when you hit them in their own vehicle. In Grand Theft Auto IV, this isn't the case. There doesn't die people with that cause, It's annoying me.

Really? What a pointless thread. Don't play the game if your gonna complain about something as dumb as the way peds talk.

Can you even call yourself a GTA fan?? The ped talk is part of the GTA series its super important. GTA V really doesn't have any memorable sayings which is sad.

Not sure if this is sarcasm, or seriousness.

Nor does IV have any memorable ped talk. No one cares about ped talk, would you talk to them on your screen while playing? If you're telling a person they aren't a real fan because of that, you should look at yourself.

Some of us are trying to sort out if we are experiencing bugs/glitches during gameplay or if R* intended certain results. If you don't like this thread, by all means, find another one to troll.

I don't think its a glitch or bug. I think that's how it was programmed.

 

and I agree GTA 4 didn't have the best. But in GTA 5 it seems like the peds just say the same things over and over again.

I really think they should put more voices, but I dont think it compromises the gameplay itself

It would be amazing if peds had more variety, but at what cost? The game has stretched the consoles to their limits already. Personally I don't notice since I don't walk around much eavsdropping :lol:

Yeah. I mean, maybe that fat female pedestrian smoked 4 packs per day and that's why she has such a deep voice? Wrong flag.

 

I think R* created a single database of voices and phrases and just randomly assigns these to peds within X radius, based on a flag system. That must be why different peds have the same voice and phrases in your immediate surroundings.

 

Whereas, in SA, each ped was assigned a unique voice and the phrases that went with it.
