| | |  Half-Blood Prince video game producers interview
The executive producer Jonathan Bunney and producer Darren Potter for the Half-Blood Prince video game recently spoke to Video Gamer. They talk about, amongst other things, how the game is created, which narratives they use and confirm that Dan Radcliffe did not contribute his voice to the game. Quote: VideoGamer.com: This is an amazing licence you're working with, but are there ever times when it feels restrictive, in terms of how creative you can be?
Daren Potter: [...] To be fair there have been occasions where we have proposed our own fiction. The beauty of working so closely with not only the film-makers but also with Joanne (K Rowling) is that she effectively signs off on everything we do. All of our scripts go to her, all of our mission plans. Not just the script of the mission… if we want character A to do something or other, she might say, "actually, I don't think that character would have done that. Why don't you try this?".
VideoGamer.com: Is she quite strict?
Jonathan Bunny: There are a couple of stages, so Warner Brothers gets to see everything we do first then they forward it on to J.K Rowling. We tend to make sure that anything that leaves our building is good, so I actually don't think that in nine years she's ever said no to anything we wanted to do. So on that basis, no she's not strict. But we're pretty damn strict on ourselves because we're fans of the fiction. We simply don't let people join the game team unless they like Harry Potter. It's not a normal thing for grown men to be into, let's face it. We get lots of people join us who say they love Harry Potter but that they don't know all the terminology, and then you realise three weeks later that they're using all the language - because actually it's been within them. Certainly when I hang out with my friends I don't talk about Levi Corpus spells, but in the studio it feels perfectly natural.
Quote: VideoGamer.com: Will this game feature the voices of the film's cast?
JB: It's a mix and match, to be honest. We've had a few of the cast come into the studio, but it's down to their availability. We couldn't get Daniel Radcliffe this year because he was doing Equus and making a movie, but we have his official voice double. When they go back to do over-dubs and things like that, he's the guy they use. And around the world we have all the actors we can get. Funnily enough, I think France and Germany are getting more of the original line-up.

It makes a game that much more perfect when they use the actors' voices, in my opinion.

It brings you that little bit closer into the game...
It will be weird listening to Dan's voice double after the last installment, when it was Dan's ACTUAL voice.
WHY couldn't Dan just do this for us instead of doing Equus?!  | |
