When will the Earl Boen version of chapter 1 be up?
I was wondering when the version of Launch of the Screaming Narwhal with Earl as LeChuck would be available for download.

So if the answer is "never," they got some splainin' to do.
I think that's the real question here. I'm not in any hurry to get it really, but I'll be happy when it arrives.
Ah, that would make sense.
One thing I'd like to know is if Earl Boen's schedule was meant to clear up at the end of the season, and he was meant to do the voice for demon LeChuck all along. And, you know, if that at all affected the decision to get a differently-voiced form of LeChuck. It's just as likely, maybe even more likely, that it just happened to work out that way.
Speak for yourself.
That's no fun. Forget *right*, just do it now... and then we can all moan later about how you should have waited and done it right.
Acrually, Kevin Blackton did human LeChuck (And was very good at it indeed).
I think he's referring to Demon LeChuck at the beginning of Chapter 1. That wasn't the same voice actor for human LeChuck, if I'm not mistaken.
No, he seemed to be confused, thinking that demon LeChuck in chapter 1 and human LeChuck were voiced by the same person, and that wasn't the case. To clear up any confusion once and for all:
Adam Harrington was demon LeChuck in the original chapter 1.
Kevin Blackton was human LeChuck in chapters 1-4.
Earl Boen was demon LeChuck in chapters 4 and 5 and the new chapter 1.
Like I've said before, I feel that Adam Harrington did a tremendous job, given the role he had to fill, but from the first time I played Narwhal, LeChuck's voice just bothered me because I expect Earl Boen's voice to come out of LeChuck and that just wasn't it.
Just to clarify, when the revised game comes out, it'll be the only one you can get. For all the super fans who gotta-catch-'em-all, you should keep the old install files hanging around, in a safe place. Maybe 2.

I'm not stuck to Earl Boen's voice at all i have to say, but that's because i've played mi3 and 4 in german...
........and i just wikipediaed this earl boen guy and discovered it's Dr. Silberman from the terminator movies! WTF?? :eek:
Yeah, and Earl is also the marriage counsellor in a breif seen in The Naked Gun 33 and a third!
I had no idea. That is awesome.
Because if not, and he uses different inflections, that means a lot of re-animation needs to be figured out. It would be nice to simply drop in new voice work, but I know personally, that animation is tailored to the syllable, and lipsync has to be incredibly precise. A year's worth of lipsync animation has taught me that
If in that case, You folks shouldn't fret over wait-times, because it takes time to do it right!
But Earl Boen did demon LeChuck's voice in chapter 4. Was the line recorded new for the doll or was it recycled from episode 1?
That was earl Boen as the doll.
Will keeping the old install file on my hard drive be enough for me to be able to re-install the game as it was originally? Activation will work and everything if I install from the old install file?
i'm pretty sure the activation will still work..... and if not, there are cracked versions of "original" ep1 all over the net.... please don't convict me, i bought the game....twice...
btw. is there any clearance if there will be only the boen version or BOTH versions on the dvd? any infos?
I stand corrected. It's not a recycled line from chapter one like I thought it was, but in all fairness, it's pretty difficult to tell the difference. I don't think anyone noticed that Earl Boen had returned until LeChuck changed back at the end of chapter four.
That's what you get when you use speakers made with cheap Phatt Island labor in your LeChuck dolls.
... You're actually answering to someone who...
Erm, there will only be the Earl Boen, not the other one. Which is why nikasaur said we should hold tight to the install file if we want to keep the original episode one voice. Which is one someone asked if just keeping the install file would work.
Which is the post you answered to.
EDIT:
I didn't even then. Of course, that's due to having never heard Boen's Lechuck before, as Tales was my first time playing a MI in English rather than French.
As far as I recall, TTG specially made an extra engine for lipsync/facial expressions depending dynamically on the actual dialogue sounds and transcriptions in Langdb file, and not actually fixed... correct me if I am wrong.
