hey dbd community! do you like steve harrington's voice?

I liked on Steve, but hated on Felix lmao

To put it in my own, original words, that I didn't copy, "It's so hilariously wrong that it's fantastic."

The only reason I don't main Steve is because I wish he has just a few more outfits (maybe 2) to customize with.

And yet you see how easily people at BHVR would mistake your response? How quickly they'd probably go: "Ah, well it looks like people like it after all! Let's have the same VA do 10 more voices for the next few survivors because people are so supportive!"

I'm not at liberty to make or acknowledge jokes about the subject matter because, at least to me, it is intensely frustrating for someone who was a genuine fan of the show.

I just can't get behind that logic. It sounds similar to how Tachanka was memed into godhood within the R6 community to the point where eventually people didn't want him to be changed even though he sucked.

Thing is, eventually he was changed for the sake of the overall quality of the game.

Funny voice.

The one thing that you forget is that BHVR got and worked with the Legendary Bruce Campbell himself. An infinitely more experienced, well known, and successful actor than Joe Keery who is only now at the very beginning of his acting career and needs all the exposure he can get.

To put the vast disparity in monetary terms, Joe keery is worth only about a FIFTH of Bruce Campbells estimated net worth, the former having a net worth of 2 million and the latter having a net worth of 10 million. Comparing the two side by side logically Joe Keery should be much easier to get into contact and work with than Bruce Campbell and it's likely he'd have less negotiating power over how much he got paid given his limited experience and younger age. In short, Joe Keery needs the exposure and needs more to put on his list / resume / profile beyond just Stranger Things, although far be it for me to give advice to Hollywood stars, celebrities, and millionaires 🙄

Not only this but you'd think just generally speaking given his younger age he would be more excited and willing to lend his voice to be put into a Video Game than Bruce Campbell would be.

P.S. Every Survivor is unique. Each one with their own backstory, their own voice, their own personality, their own clothes which reflect that personality, etc. So on and so forth. This is an objective fact regardless of whether or not they speak, even in silent films there are attributes and characteristics that a person can point to and identify as key factors that create characterization. The point is that the effort should be put in to make theses aspects of the characters as quality and believable as possible. Dead By Daylight does have the money and the resources for this, if they can continue to make deals with big licenses and huge celebrities, if they can complete a full graphic overhaul, if they can port the game onto next generation consoles like the PS5 and Xbox X (which have not even released yet), they have plenty of resources to redo a voice that they royally screwed up in the past.

Much like how they need to get to work on that Quentin Face Rework.

Eh, I guess I agree with that. There's one thing I wanted to point out though.

"Not only this but you'd think just generally speaking given his younger age he would be more excited and willing to lend his voice to be put into a Video Game than Bruce Campbell would be."

From my knowledge, Bruce actually wanted to work on DbD. That's one of the major reasons he has actual voice lines, it's because he wanted to be there. He was even in Ash's reveal trailer. I'm not saying Joe Keery hates DbD, I just think Bruce likes it more.

Summary of both arguments:

-Yeah I like it its funny xd

-NO HOW COULD BHVR HAVE DONE THIS I'M A FAN OF THE SHOW SINCE 1987 AND THE CHARACTER HAS BEN ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY BUTCHERED

I couldn't agree more with everything you have said dude, they should really get on fixing the voice, right now it sounds like a joke voice

I actually like it because I watched Stranger Things in german and it sounds similar to Steve’s german voice actor.

Nope. It doesn't feel very genuine compared to all the other voices in-game.

I feel differently, that it was just the beginning, with Ash potentially being a springboard to other celebrities and faces like Joe Keery as Steve, perhaps Tony Todd for Candyman, Maybe even Robert Englund as Freddy as a legendary Freddy skin, etc. so on and so forth.

I don't see why it should be any other way, again DBD has the resources to make this happen as an immensely successful game in its own right. Certainly far more than they or even we as the community originally anticipated back in 2016, and bringing these famous faces and voices to their characters would make the game even more well known in public circles beyond the gaming industry, more so than it already is.

Yes, I aware of this, it's a very simple concept "big names cost big money" and have acknowledged this and my statement still stands because of it, in part because I was already subtly addressing that exact issue before anyone brought it up. So I will just copy and past what I wrote.

I don't let anybody in my 4-stack play Steve because his hook scream sounds so ######### ANNOYING

Steve’s voice could use some tweaking and instead of getting joe Kerry on the line just find a more suitable person to voice act Steve but would be awesome if BHVR got joe Kerry to voice act his own character, I’m a Steve main
