Nokia advertising campaign rips off GLaDOS voice - General

Exactly what it says on the tin. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2czEZZn-DQ[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXhh7VJYIUI[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=261EPtkkFmI[/media] I groaned.

I'd sue them.

Robotic voice, MUST BE GLADOS.

Those bastards!

Well i does obviously sound like Glados, they must of taken it so guys who got the portal reference would buy it. Little do they know were aren't as stupid.

I won't exchange my Bill to some damn phone!

[QUOTE=AlphaGunman;25565035]Robotic voice, MUST BE GLADOS.[/QUOTE] Dude, you can hear it. In the way they've utilized Melodyne, and the voice actor they've picked. There's a huge difference between "robotic voice" and "character imitation".

The intonation mistakes are almost identical to the Portal 1 ones

The Australian voice actor CLEARLY sounds like Ellen McLain, who's from Nashville, right? No.

[QUOTE=AlphaGunman;25565035]Robotic voice, MUST BE GLADOS.[/QUOTE] I heard a lot robot voices in movies, commercials and games and none of them sounded like GLaDOS. This, on the other hand have same tone, same type of modulation, same jokes etc.

fukken valve ripped the name gman from a 50's noir movie fukken douchebags

[QUOTE=ruarai;25565512]they didn't name him that, he just eventually got named that[/QUOTE] gman was the valve codename and it became the "real" name eventually

[QUOTE=evilking1;25565545]gman was the valve codename and it became the "real" name eventually[/QUOTE] Gman was just the name of the model in HL1. The fans simply took the model name and named the character that.

Having a nickname for something is not the same as stealing an original voice.

[QUOTE=Cypher100;25565783]GLADOS is a phone. [img_thumb]http://imgur.com/XPdhp.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Oh man, I can't believe I forgot that part!

I'm a huge Portal fanboi, but that doesn't really bother me. I found it funny when she said "For low-tech friends, who don't use any of this, you could try yelling really, really loudly - or - introduce them to me." But it makes me not want to have to phone... What if it starts flooding my room with a deadly neurotoxin? Does it have a morality core that stops it from flooding my room with a deadly neurotoxin?

The Aperture Science Producer Operated Creative Content Duplication Device.

Not going to lie, if symbian didn't blow, those ads are pretty compelling.

Definately sounded like GLaDOS.

Nokia knew shit would hit the fan.

Lol it doesn't pronounce Nokia right what an idiot.
