@talkcasual That's my rating for it... As big of a production as it is, HONESTLY, I am enjoying the guilty pleasures of Deadpool far more, even though it is a paint-by-numbers game. Nolan North earned every penny for his involvement in the game!
@talkcasual Um... Arkham Asylum/City? Mark Hammill stole the show! There are many other cases of quality actors earning their pay. And it's up to the developer to decide if they want to pay for quality, name recognition, or both. Personally, I love hearing a celebrity voice in a game... be it Patrick Stewart, Bruce Campbell, or Ellen.
@talkcasual @Splincir @ratchet200 "What I see is a chunk of Kojima's budget thrown away on BS instead of investing it where it counts" on a bloated, conspiracy-laden cesspool of paranoia? If hiring Keifer means Kojima actually has to make a tight, coherent story, I'm ALL for hiring him!!!
@ratchet200 Voice acting is still acting. If the person doing the acting takes it serious, it shows... Look at the various movie tie ins with the actual actors phoning in the lines, then compare it to the games where the programmers and voice actors treat the project like an interactive feature film... It's a world of difference. Ellen Page is a fantastic actress (sadly most of the world only knows her from Xmen 3)
@PHOENIXZERO @MasterManiac772 Naughty Dog changed her "last minute" when too many people were catching on she was a digital Ellen Page, making her younger looking, and changing a few things, but the resemblance is still striking. On the plus side, she'll get far more credit for TLOU than the actual voice actress, but on the negative side, it kinda sucks to have your image used without permission. It was a d*ck move by Naughty Dog. They should have got Page's blessing. WB went thru hoops to get Marlon Brando's estate's permission for his brief appearance in Superman Returns. An Actor/actress's look is their legacy and bread-earner, and should not be so frivolously abused.
Hopefully Page and Naughty Dog can come to an agreement and will not get tied up in a lawsuit.
@Sevenizz@tmarbleiiof the 239,893,600 estimated internet users in the USA, only 69,902,286 use broadband. Digital Only is a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG way off. (statistics courtesy of the Leichtman Research Group, Inc)
@Sevenizz @tmarbleii Digital only is SEVERAL years away. It'll never become mainstream until more people have broadband, and the fact people WANT to physically own product without DRM restrictions
@Sevenizz @tmarbleii WTF? Sony invents new technology constantly. Bluray is a sony invention, for instance... I know you are obviously clueless, so I won't waste anymore time chatting with a flatline.
@Meltic not really. I'm doing my best to completely remove Microsoft products from my life, preferring anything other than their intentionally bug-filled crap
