Can videogames just stop hiring celebrities to do voice acting?

It is just very costly, performances are sub-par at best and most of the time literal cringe.

Careful some absolute retard will come in here screeching about "THATS NOT HOW BUDGETS WORK HURRR DURRR" completely ignoring that if they had millions of dollars to spend on a big name to say a few lines they could have gotten lesser known actors ridiculously cheaper to voice more
OR
SHOCKER
pay the fucking artists and writers better and have a nicer looking and playing game and just let little timmy zoom zoom learn to read for fucking once in his life

But if I put Mr Famous into my game then the average retard who only plays AAA games will take more notice of it. I mean just look at how Dinklage boosted sales of Anthem...

It's easier and more profitable to sell a mediocre game on having famous people. Sorry, but that's the way a business works: minimize effort, maximize profit.

>people give a shit about celebrities
I could probably name like 2 out of a line up and that's from literally decades of passing exposure.

Have a celeb in the game is a marketing gimmick and can potentially pay for its own higher cost by raising awareness of the game. Same with movies.

Though if you're talking about Death Stranding then Kojima does it because he's a fucking movie nerd, so I'd argue that's an artistic thing then (as in it's something he personally cares about in the work, not saying THAT MAKES IT A ART before you pedantic fucks misinterpret my point).

Games would be better in general with very limited to no voice acting.

Cyberpunk hyped itself into relevancy just because they hired some zoomer actor. There's not stopping this train of mediocrity and mass-appeal.

Do you think that John Wick is his first famous role, zoomy?

What about e-celeb voice actors?

Cyberpunk would be huge improvement if it was a Bill n Ted game. Taking place in dystopian Rock and Roll future.

Why would they stop? Cyberpunk showed literally nothing worthwhile to the public and yet it owned the conversation at E3 because they slapped Keanu Reeves at the end of the trailer.

Not him but let's be honest that's what caused his sudden resurgence in popularity with a younger crowd.

cope zoomers. I don't give a shit about your epic actor they shove into video games.

no frickin way it's sans undertale woo

Everyone forgets that before the reddit fagboys made him God he was the matrix guy.

What is the Matrix?

imagine arrest yourself

I think you neglect to take into consideration the fact that he was an actor in the 90s when most zoomed and fags were just sperm sitting in their fat dads balls

Cyberpunk is gay af and hiring Keanu was retarded, but calling him a zoomer actor shows your an underage faggot and should never post here again.

A movie that came out before most people interested in Cyberpunk were even born.

sitting at the same table with sans together must be so cool

Correct. Ita why I hope that Man of Medan game doesn't succeed.

Video Games should stop wasting money on "famous" voices because it LITERALLY marginalizes deaf culture.
I was born deaf and haven't heard a voice in my life. I love video games because they make me feel included, everyone speaks in subtitles so I can be a part of the conversation and not get lost. I get to feel like I have friends and not be treated like a freak.
But then these studios have the gull to waste millions of dollars on some literal who-cares like "Keanu Reese" or "Yuri Loganthal", when that money could have been better used making the game more polished, including more features, giving it more marketing, and then hiring cheaper no-name VAs who are just as good, or even voicing the game themselves.
But no, these hotshot big-wig game devs don't care about minorities like me at all. And I'll not spend another dollar on their games.

The day of flawless artificial voices can't come soon enough.

And itd give Alex Winters works and im pretty sure he needs it.

>said the person who probably loves San Andreas

>giving it more marketing
