Lexx Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 At this point I find it kinda cringe if celebs show up in video games, tbh. Especially Star Citizen, which seems to want to collect them the same way Hideo Kojima does. 1 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Yeah, I wonder how much money they get for their spots, and how that would develop into actual game development time. I find it ironic in how the Fallout games have Ron Pearlmans famous lines read out by him, but the TV show doesn't.

Death Stranding maybe, as celebrity cameos kinda seem like that game's identity. In Cyberpunk I found both Keanu and Idris (as well as other minor youtubers I recognised) to be distracting. Idris less so as I thought he worked really well, but Keanu was just off - I don't know if it's him or how Johny was written/structured in the game. Theoretically, I see nothing wrong - models have been used for quite some time, why not use recognisable models. Coming out from Alan Wake 2, while not exactly dealing with celebrities, they do use actors and recognisable faces in very interesting ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Problem with most celeb's in games (that I've seen) is that often their chr. in the game is transitory/not vital. It's just spot the star for 3 minutes. They have a few appearances and speak a few lines each time. That isn't going to "sell" me a purchase. If you're going to use a celeb in a game to try and sell the game, for me I want to see them playing a character long enough that I'm going to see them as that character. eg, the player character (Death Stranding) or other main/integral supporting plot character. Where I have an actual character to judge/play as/get attached to or something, just like in a movie/tv series. Not just a talking-head role. I have a lot of fave actors/actresses, and am of the "movie star" generation where fondness for a specific star may influence my desire to see something, but if I learn their role in a film is a glorified cameo of 2-5 minutes, I'm not going to bother watching the entire movie for only that alone, unless I'm really interested in the movie by itself. Same thing with games. “Things are as they are.

melkathi Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Burt Reynolds worked well in saints row 3. But only because the game was so silly, throwing in a random celeb at a random moment fit the who ridiculous ride you were on playing the game. 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Humanoid Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Hm? Celebrity casting in Star Citizen hardly seems out of place given the precedent set by Wing Commander 3/4 and Privateer 2. In fact if only one game in the entire world did celebrity casting, it would be that game. 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, so they changed the whole flight system after that announcement and are still massively tweaking/balancing it. I do not for a moment believe Squadron 42 was actually feature complete last year. In fact it almost seems CIG is turning quite desperate as they seem to have thrown out most of their ambitious plans for Star Citizen and appear to be settling for "first person EVE" (no "sov" though) with a slowed down "mode switching" flight system instead of the rather fluid system they had before, just so they can get something out of the door before we all die of old age (or, more likely, before they get into major trouble with their investors) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of them are made in-house. No, these are games they're making themselves. They even talk about how they're using (continuing to use) Unity for one game, but have switched to Unreal for the other games. There is one historical RPG that has already been revealed for which they're the publisher. But these games they're talking about here are all games that have yet to be revealed (though I suspect that the Unity game is the one the furthest along, and likely a sequel to Rogue Trader). Also interesting was that they seem to confirm that none of these games are their own IP (even though they say they'd like to create their own IP). So these are all cRPGs using existing IPs. Maybe one of them is a D&D game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
