Why did games start to include film actors? It doesnt really add anything to the game other than "oh, I know that dude!" when you first see the character.

Makes it easier to animate realistic looking people.

>"oh, I know that dude!"
Good for marketing.

The better question is why did Kojima, and the answer to that is because he's desperate to be affiliated with Hollywood.

I think it has to do with facial motion capture, real actors are good at it for obvious reasons.

Normalfags love their celebs for some inscrutable reason.

>Jean Reno only plays Jacques in the French dub
>Takeshi Kaneshiro only plays Samanosuke in the Japanese dub
>in the English dub Jacques is Leon Kennedy and Samanosuke is Travis Touchdown
Onimusha 3 is a weird game

Proper acting ability
Combination of looks and skills
Recognizable, marketable brand
Experience
Professionalism

Meanwhile "voice" actors are a bunch of incompetent, worthless, unionized B-list divas that'll go on strike for having to recite their lines many times, then demand % royalties based on the game's success.
It's no coincidence the only genuinely good voice actor in the industry told the fuckups to suck it up and improve.

Yes and the best stealth games to date.

Nolan North is far from the only genuinely good voice actor and that's not what he said at all.

Norman Reedus is a shit actor tho.

Fucking decoy posting.

The pinnacle of stealth games, get over it.

He's not great but he's still better than the average video game voice actor.
The problem with Death Stranding is that it still has some of the same old voice actors like Troy Baker giving their typical generic video game performance which just ruins it. Either go the whole way and get a whole cast of actual actors (good ones, not just famous ones) or don't bother.

>tfw no Onimusha 3 mod that replaces the NA dub with Jean and Takeshi's voice acting

Where were you when Fallout came out? Oh right sucking on your mommy's titty while her client rails her.

Movie games need movie actors. Next dumb question

Troy Baker's performance in TLOU is better than anything done by Reedus. It depends on who is directing I guess.

That's kojimas fault. Baker is a faggot but he has tons of range, it's the directors fault if they just make him american rooty rooty cowboy man. He was a waste in mgs v, but you can hear the difference in acting skill between him and Kaz, or keifer for that matter, who is an awful voice actor.

>Jacques is Leon Kennedy
>it's literally Paul from 4

Wow, this game inspired RE4 more than I thought (never got into the Onimusha series)

The fact nobody has mentioned Wing Commander yet reveals that this board is riddled with console kiddies.

Well when you put it that way. Is Miyazaki and George RR matin a better colab?

What about fucking TekWar? That game was literally commissioned by William Shatner AND starred him.

Martin would be the Yoko in that conparison and they're both fat.

And you an Animefag

The one with the best maverick type character? Biff?

But still it was a fantastic game
