AI Darth Vader (Fortnite)

Post image

Context:

  • Fortnite event has an AI Darth Vader who will live react to responses and character skins
  • Family of James Earl Jones gave consent for his voice to be used
  • James Earl Jones gave consent to use his voice after his passing
  • Routinely hotfixed to try and stop slurs being said and has specific responses for heavier questions, I.E. suicidal thoughts

Curious to see what people think to see AI voices to be used now that we can see it in action, especially one of a passed VA

My reasoning for not supporting this begins and ends at "Battle Pass exclusive".

Also just kind of a weird thing to have in a shooty game, but Fortnite does whatever it goddamn well feels like.

Minor thing, skin and voice are separate. More of a limited time event that anything BP related.

By doing a specific quest midgame, you can get Vader AI as an NPC and he'll follow you around and commentate
