Original S&M Voice Actors?
Hi everyone!
I'd like to say I'm really amazed about the quality of the 3 new S&M Seasons!
The only flaw I found are S&M's dubbers... they just don't sound right.
Really, I wish I could hear them again with their original Hit The Road voices!
Are there any chances that this could happen?

Ah, I was just curious because I thought maybe thier voices would've grown on you by now, but to each thier own. It's all good.
My opinion is bias though, because the TT games are the first time I heard them speak, so I love the current voices as if they were the ones Sam&Max were born with, though I knew of thier existence before. I tried to get a copy of Hit the Road many years ago, but being a dumb kid I just called random computer stores one after another not knowing of catalogues and such.
I still haven't played HtR
In response to your original question. I would highly doubt it, but stranger things have happened in our known universe.
I love the current voices and think they're superior to the original.
But to answer your question, no, I doubt that there is any chance they will re-record the dialogue for 16 games.
However, the new voice actors have grown on me, and I love their voices for the characters.
I wouldn't want Telltale to suddenly switch voice actors, even if they'd be able to get the HTR ones. However, if Lucasarts ever gets hold of the IP again... Well... Let's just say I wouldn't mind hearing Nick Jameson and Bill Farmer again.
That won't happen, and if it did, I believe it would be disastrous for all involved.
like current incarnation sam and max meet the old ones.
I keep saying that
Turtles Forever!*
*oddly enough, in that case they were not able to bring back any of the original voice actors due to union issues, but the concept is similar
So it has been decided, so it shall be!
this.
-Sam:
1- Tie between Hit the Road and Telltale Games
2-Animated Series
-Max:
1-Telltale Games
2-Animated series
3-Hit the Road
Heh, wouldn't be hilarious that for the new episode of the devil's playhouse they would hire the old voice actors for play the roles of Sam & Max's ancestors? I know it's imposible, but it would be very silly XD
Just hire Silverwolfpet and Icedhope
EDIT: did the post I partially quoted just vanish? (Feel free to delete mine too I guess).
I remember hearing that when working on Freelance Police at LucasArts, the team tried to get the animated series voice actors to play alternate, weirdly backwards versions of Sam & Max (Man & Sax I think they were called, or something like it?), but it turned out to be surprisingly complicated to wrangle, so the idea was dropped. We've talked about doing it as a gag a couple times, too, but, as they found at LucasArts, it's mysteriously surprisingly difficult to wrangle. Maybe there is some sort of ancient unbreakable prophecy stating that no two Sam & Max voice actor eras may co-exist on the same project.
EDIT: OH MY GOD IT IS BACK.
And different!
And further down the page!
Like MAGIC.
By the way, the original was better. Why must you ruin everything?
Sorry, I rewrote my post, but for some reason deleted and re-posted instead of editing. Still waking up I guess?
No problem. I thought you realised you had shared info you weren't supposed to and deleted it, and that by partially quoting it I could get you into trouble.
I have weird theories sometimes. It's kinda funny in retrospect.
It's interesting, I liked Nowlin's rendition of Sam immediately, while Max took a lot longer to get used to.
Also, I agree with those who say there's no point in changing the current duo.
Actually, I liked the Animated Series Sam, it's a totally different take on the character, but I kinda like him sounding like an old dog. Kinda makes the whole cliché old cop with young rookie cop routine work.
I didn't care much for the Animated Series Max though. He was too randomly wacky, it was more a guy who was trying to be unpredictably psychopatic insteat of someone who actually wás unpredictably psychopatic.
And the 30's gangster thing is actually something I miss about the new Max.
I do like the new take though.
Yeah sure... If you want to show disrespect to the people who did all the hard work on the ORIGINAL voices.
It's my opinion that they shouldn't do this with the Telltale games, nor the Hit the Road game.
But it would be awesome if they did this with the Telltale games anyway.
Since it would be something you can swap at all times, I don't see how it's different from giving different graphics. You just get to choose old or new. Hey, why not?
As vocal artist myself, I'd hate it if other people were doing the material I once did, even if they'd let people choose. If I do a role I'd like people to associate the voice I did for the character with that character, not have to choose from different sets of character voices everytime.
Same goes for computer graphics, I'd hate it if people took their crayons and started drawing over the backgrounds I'd made almost 20 years ago.
It's just professional pride or something I guess...
