A lot of people have been asking that, I've noticed.
Gabe's said there's gunna be no voice acting, everything will be told by speech bubbles.
That is all.

Yeah no voices at all. It will be word balloons and character portraits.
That is all.

Oh, come on.
Tycho: David Hyde Pierce
Gabe: Michael Dorn
It's JUST THAT EASY.
It's going to be a 20$ game. I would love to see voice acting but I'm not sure it would work.
Either way you get my money, but if you wanna hit a homerun across the boards... voice acting.
That and a point and click RPG for the DS.
Have you ever played Resident Evil?
It's... supposed to be cheap.
Get it?
Do you get it?
How about you wait until the game's complete and see how well it fits into the game overall? I think your assertion that critics will automatically pan it is unfounded. It's all a matter of how well it's implemented into the game. If they do the dialog bubbles in a way that fits with the overall game then that'll be ok. Also this is definitely not a "next gen" game as they've made pretty clear.
I don't think Gabe and Tycho care what reviewers say.
Also,
Are you sure ...?
(I kid, I was just in the mood to dig up and post some really old stuff)
The only real problem is that a commentary is a little bit* overkill for a single episode.
*Kind of like the Titanic sprung a little leak.
I can't wait to see how they integrate him into the game.
*Flaming car appears out of nowhere and drunkenley swerves into lamp-post*
"GABE! you have to come back to the future with me!"
But personally, if I were to pick anyone-
Tycho: Brian Posehn
And gabe... gah, I don't remember exactly because it's been a year since I Watched ANY tv, so I dont remember the character OR voice actor I was thinking of, but i imagine him having a sort of early 20's, punky tenor voice that scratches a bit when he gets excited or puts emphasis into something. Quite expressive, but a little naive.
Don't forget about Phil LaMarr
Considering how much work either of those guys are getting I bet it would hardly affect the budget.

If they had pay for someone famous it would be expensive. Gabe and tycho aren't really the voice actor type imho. I bet if they practiced a fair amount they could be alright but I meant that "i'm not sure it would work" in the sense that It wouldn't feel right.
I'd honestly like to see more videogames cut voice acting and FMV honestly. Supreme commander is a good example of annoying voice acting.
Tycho= James Earl Jones
More so, because I want to hear James Earl Jones say, "Jesus is fucking metal!"
Edit:
Tycho: Patrick Stewart
Gabe: Patrick Warburton
Miscellaneous female characters: Tress MacNeille. Have you seen her filmography? She's in everything, including several games and cartoons we all know and love. Besides, one of her pseudonyms is "Terror MacNihil." How cool is that?
...but what if they had a PA fan contest (PA Idol...oh god), and put their voices in the game (With the option to allow voices or just text)?
A sort of PA:AC BT, but with a creative voice talent reading of their own dynamic story would be fantastic, methinks!
I have an idea. Why don't you get a few of your friends over, down a few cold ones, rock-paper-scissors for who gets what character and then say the lines out loud yourself?
I originally was suggesting this as a joke but halfway through typing it I thought how fucking fun it would be to do this...
Then post it on Youtube for all of us to see/hear.
heh.
Like most of you I am glad about the lack of vocie acting. David Hyde Peirce aside there's nobody who could really mimick Tycho and Gabe as I imagine their voices.
