New COVAS voice pack on the store (so new voice packs are going to be store items then)

As for competing with HCS... why would that be bad? It's very common for games to look at what the modding/third party community is doing with their game and say: "Huh, that's a really great idea! We should do that in the base game so everyone can enjoy it!"
Imitation is the sincerest form of something or other.

They're working with HCS voicepacks.
 
Pretend she is Celine Dion

I was thinking more of Yvette and Maria from Allo Allo

Worth noting that great though the HCS voicepacks are - they work through voice attack - which as I and several others have noted before does not work very well for Scottish folk (and I suspect Geordies and N Ireland). It requires the patience to completely reteach the microsoft voice package that it sits on to understand Scottish (reminds me of the Blackadder scene where he starts to teach the German guards English) - I for one can't be bothered with that and hope we see a new MS speech engine soon (Cortanna, Siri et all are very, very good with accents in contrast).
This is a nice alternative that will freshen up the computer voice ingame - bit like paint jobs etc do , how anyone can see it as "pay 2 win" is beyond me - You'll subdue SDC with your computers new voice ?
 
What is the difference between Celeste from the store, and whatever voice work is being added for free in the Beyond update? Does anyone know that?

The Celeste voice is Sabrina Ruiz, voice talent and actress in a couple of films. She did the original Celeste for HCS voice packs. I've no idea who did Victor but like the original Verity, may have been someone on staff or close to the FD team. As for content, I believe its the same for all but may be wrong.

Thanks for the info. I'm definitely planning on picking it up.
