I’ve loved Alix Wilton Regan in everything I’ve heard her in, thrilled to see her get a big leading role like this.
She’s great, I’m happy for her!
On a similar note, I find it strange that nowadays (voice) actors are cast as videogame characters in their own likeness. This practice was all over the trailers announced at the video game awards.
What happened to designing cool characters for the art of it like back in the day? Is using photorealistic graphics and celebrities the way forward for the big game development studios?
I assume it’s because they are using performance capture for all the facial animations.
This is one of the areas AI could be used to make things better, but instead we get slop.
Do you think they should not hire a professional actor to act?
Is it hard to understand that a game with photorealistic visual can just use their paid actors likeness for the entire performance? It seems like an artistic choice that may be a good benefit for the actors to get future work.
How are we defining “nowadays”?
2009 onwards.
This made me rewatch con man s01e08. “Your voice has this unique quality that we think is going to be more effective with the Marion storyline.”
