Sega has decided to replace all current Sonic voice cast and replace them with the voices from Sonic X. Ryan Drummond, the old Sonic, had no word from Sega until Shadow was finished and is feeling pretty sour towards Sega.
-Sonic Stadium
Personally I love this decision by Sega, with the voices for Eggman and Tails unable to continue, They needed voices quick and with a cast already set from Sonic X, it was only smart. I don't like what they did to the old cast though.
Sonic X had a perfect cast to do Cream, Amy, Tails, Sonic, Knuckles, Eggman and Shadow, I always wished that this would happen, and it did!

I agree, the VA's for Sonic X are really good. Im glad to see theyll be in the games now. I feel kind of sorry for the old cast, but they could never get Tails voice right in the games....but Amy Palant(?) does an excellent job in Sonic X.

there was never a metal sonic voice actor in sonic X, so where will they get one of him?

Metal Sonic isn't in any future games, they can get someone else to do it. If they aren't in Sonic X, then Sega will take care of that.

yea, your probobly right Marik, but IMO they SHOULD take metal sonic more seriously. I mean, fans take metal sonic more seriously then Eggman! (some anyway) A good thing to get my idea of thinking, so to speak, is to watch Sonic: The Swordsman series. its a fan flash.

..... I don't like Sonic's voice in Sonic X. I like his regular voice better. I don't mind the other characters though. .... except for maybe Knuckles.... ok and Shadow. I don't know. I just prefer their other voices over the Sonic X ones.

You people are definitely the minority among fans - I personally hate this decision, especially considering the VAs were FIRED without any notice and were never even told after the decision was made. Ryan Drummond didn't find out until he got suspicious because Sega never called him for the Shadow dub. I much prefer the SA voice actors (not Heroes's Tails, but I liked SA's Tails voice actor), and Ryan Drummond was (to me) the prototype Sonic voice.
Believe me, Sega has been getting hammered hard about this, even the supposed "n00bs" at the Sega forums are pretty hacked off at this totally unjust decision.

Well tell those people who hate this idea this:
Ryan Drummond is fired and pissed at Sega, he won't come back at all even if he was offered again. Half the cast either grew up, died or quit since Sonic Adventure DX so they had no other choice. Plus it's a damn good cast!

Sounds like it. Amy's voice is Joey's sister, Serenity.

That seems to be iffy cause Metal just came back in Heroes as a real character since.... Chaotix? Metal was badass in Heroes, but I think he understood that he can't win so I'm betting that we won't see him til.... I'll guess 6 years.

Half the cast either grew up, died or quit since Sonic Adventure DX so they had no other choice. Plus it's a damn good cast! 1. Not neccessarily, especially if an apology (or enough money) is involved. 2. Sonic and Knuckles's SA voices are much better, as are the voices for Rouge, Shadow, Cream, Big... and pretty much everyone but SH Tails, in my opinion. EDIT: Clarity |

Sonic seems to be very simialar and Knuckles sounds a bit.... of a pansy in Heroes, especially Heroes then Adventure. Rouge is better in the game. Shadow is either way for me and Cream's different? She sound the same with the high pitch squeek. I like Big more in Sonic X, he doesn't sound as stupid as the game gave him. And like everyone says, anybody but the Heroes Tails.

..... please.... no one hate me for this, but i'm giving my opinion about everything.
I'm already opposed to using the voice for Sonic from the show. I never liked it, and I really don't want to hear it the games, though i suppose even if I say anything about it, it's not going to make a difference. I also liked Knuckles' voice more in the Adventure series. (In Sonic X, I know it sounds just like Yami, but wasn't that also the same guy who did Raph's voice?) As for Shadow, I'm used to his voice from the Adventure series. To me, that was better than the one from Sonic X. Rouge, .... I don't really care about. ....I think her voice in Sonic X was done by the person who did Mai's.
Eggman's voice in Sonic X I actually like because to me, that voice is perfect for the character. And Cream's is pretty good too. Amy's I don't mind either. However.... when it comes to Tails, the only voice I ever liked for him was the one in Sonic Adventure. So, there are a few that I don't mind from the Sonic X series. As for the other voices.... I'm not sure i will ever like it, but I'm going to have to tolerate it.

I have to admit I do like Ryan Drummonds Sonic more than whoever does him in Sonic X. You know, now that I think about it, Ryan Drummond does a WAY better Sonic.

Well, all very good... except for the fact that Sonic X's Sonic sounds retarded (I mean that literally). Ryan Drummon was the best vocalist to play Sonic since SatAM's Jaleel White. It IS a big difference IMO. "... They needed voices quick and with a cast already set from Sonic X, it was only smart." Well, if my memory serves me, the cast from the games were available when Sonic X was being made, so the 'readily available cast' should've come from the games. They're dumping superior voice actors. So, they put together a superfluous cast and afterwards washed their hands of the better cast in order to employ the less talented ones. What's smart about that? Were they in such a rush they left logic at the front desk? Oh, and Cream doesn't count. Her voice reminds me of a six year old blasting unmusical notes from a recorder. Get a kid to do her voice, SEGA! PLEASE!! Maybe Drummond won't come back. That doesn't get rid of the fact that it was a blunder to fire him. Sonic X's cast isn't all that great, and Sonic X itself is the worst Sonic series of all of them. The SA Tails grew up, yes, but SH's VA for him is probably still around. I know he could get it right if he were given a second chance. The SX Knux sounds like an old man with a sore throat. Knux is 16, not 60. I used to have my suspicions about Naka's sanity, but after the treatment of the vocalists and the decision to use what is frankly an inferior cast from now on... I know he's whacko now. Ryan Drummond is an excellent vocalist whose voice was absolutely perfect for Sonic. I didn't know that they were using SX voice actors for the Shadow game. I didn't like the whole idea behind that game, and knowing aforehand the VAs suck... I'm not even going to rent it.  |

[glow=purple,2,300]I kinda liked Shadows voice from the games...Knux is okay I can live with it, and basically everyone else. Nice voices, but I was totally pissed off at how messed up Shadow's voice was in Sonic X...[/glow]

lol, i was just thinking since Krazed Kitsune brought it up. I can't believe I forgot when Sonic used to be done by Jaleel White. And I had always thought it was funny that the cool blue hedgehog was done by the same guy who played Steve Urkel. lol
Well anyway, um.. yep. I still want Ryan Drummond to do the voice. I can't believe they're doing this. Oh well, all things in moderation... i guess...

Ok, I re-read this entire topic from my first post on this and this has really gone outta control. I know it has slowed down but I won't see this thing going crazy again. I originally made this as news, not a fight.
But either way, I'm a Sonic fan and I know you guys are too. The games are fun and the characters are awesome. If you're gonna moan about the voices then you're very shallow and if you'll quit playing the games cause of that stupid little thing, then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
I HATED Tails' voice in Heroes but that didn't make me any less of a fan, even if that was gonna be the new voice for now on. I didn't like the Sonic X voices until I got used to it after hearing it week to week and now I like it more than the game.
If the complaining and fighting continues again, I will lock this topic.

Maybe we should stop arguing about it period.
Some like the games' voices better, and some like the series' voices better.
Who knows? Maybe the Sonic X voice actors will be either re-trained or they'll be asked to act differently this time around...
At any rate, we can't truly judge them until we hear them... THEN, we may complain about the talent.

We were arguing? Geez, sorry. My vehemence is directed at SEGA, not you guys. Sorry if it came out like that...
They probably won't be asked to act differently or re-trained. We'll have to see. I guess I'll be happy so long as the SX voice actor for Sonic stops talking like his IQ can be counted on one hand.
If you didn't like Sonic X, you probably won't like this decision.

Fair enough. But what SEGA did to Ryan Drummon etc. was reprehensible. THAT has made me MUCH less of a SEGA fan.

If anyone wants to hear the new voices in a game, a complete runthrough of the neutral-path, English version of Shadow is floating around the internet.  In other news, since Shadow was given a "T" by the ESRB, Sega is now censoring and redoing some of the voice acting ("language" was one of the discriptors given by the ESRB"). Appearantly they are shooting for E-10+. |
