‘A’ list actors in games

c r.

The current trend is for games to use not only the voices, but also the accurate likeness of the actor as the main characters.  As with films, this fuels a race to sign the biggest celebs, and at great expense.

Is this the right direction? Is it increasing the cost of games unnecessarily just for the sake of ‘celeb’ status? Are games more immersive if the characters and voices are anonymous? Should the focus for a game be just a good game rather than a ‘star-studded’ cast?

    I am OK with stars giving voice to the game characters, but I dislike it when game developers create characters that look like the movie stars. Not sure if they want to create the hype around their games like that, because the only thing I can tell about these games is, Oh, it's the game where XYZ starred. I don't find it as appealing as a well-developed background story of the fictional character.
