Best and worst voice actor recasts.
- Thread starter Gold Arsene
- Start date
Honestly, Kiefer was fine in MGSV (for the few lines he had at least), the real disappointment (personally) was Troy Baker as Ocelot which was mostly just Troy Baker but occasionally cowboy.
Was gonna say this was the worst. I don't like the new voice at all.
David Hayter not being in MGSV at all.
This is worse though.
It would have been really cool if he was the actual Big Boss and Sutherland was Punished/Venom Snake, but alas
This is worse though.
Worst:
Shion, Kos-Mos, Chaos and Momo's disgusting voice changes for Xenosaga 2
Bridget Hoffman is the only person that should ever be voicing Kos-Mos.
Glynnis Talken to Tricia Helfer for Kerrigan.
Mandy Moore to anyone after her for Aerith
Alyson Court to whoever voiced her in revelations and the remake. The new girls are objectively not bad, but Court owned the role and sounds the exact same 20 years later. She IS Claire Redfield.
Wesker's voice following CV and Zero.
The Silent Hill 2 HD cast
Replacing David Hayter as Snake
For the best:
unless the original is especially terrible, there havent been too • many replacements I've liked. Performance continuity is far too important when it comes to any acted character.
That being said, some of the ones that stand out as big improvements:
Rebecca Chambers in Resident Evil Zero, Jill in Resident Evil 3 and Wesker in Code Veronica.

Terrible recasts:
Billy Zane --> Richard Epcar (Kingdom Hearts)
Guy Cihi --> Troy Baker (Silent Hill 2)
Mandy Moore --> Mena Suvari (Kingdom Hearts)
The change in KOS-MOS's voice from XS1 to 2 was unforgivable.

was he the voice director in FFXV? I don't think so since the voice acting in that game didn't make me cringe for the most part
I was thinking this same thing reading this thread. He's like "hi, I'm Chris Redfield and I'm here to help" or some shit and that was all.
TBH, I miss Paul Mercier as Leon and Richard Waugh as Wesker more than I care about Chris.
Best:
Replacing Hayden Panettiere with Alyson Stoner in Kingdom Hearts. Her performance is so much better.
Honestly, I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with too many other recasts that I really feel like are significant improvements.
Worst:
New Chie in the P4 games. Original Chie from the PS2 release is still the best.
Whatever the hell happened with Aerith in KH2.
Ben Judd to Sam Riegel for Phoenix Wright
Rutger Hauer as Master Xehanort is clearly a fine performance, but he sounds nothing like Nimoy, so it's really distracting to me.

This. Thissss.
Dynasty Warriors 8 has some quality anime and video game voice actors. Kirk Thornton, Jamieson Price, Wendee Lee, Beau Billingslea, Cristina Vee, Bryce Papenbrook, Kaiji Tang, Erin Fitzgerald, Quinton Flynn, Richard Epcar...the list goes on. We go from them, to...practically nothing. I've never cringed so hard at voice acting like I have in Dynasty Warriors 9. There are a few good voice actors in DW9, but DW8 far and away has the better voice acting.
There we go. I was scrolling for this. I bought Golden without knowing, and the moment she talked I died inside. I tried so hard to get over it, but I barely made it another 10 minutes before I quit and never touched it again.
Yes, yes, yes, absolutely, yes. It's super weird to me how Halo 3 recast a few major characters from Halo 2 (Miranda Keyes, Truth) while leaving the rest of the cast untouched. The new voices were noticeably worse.
Kudos to 343i for keeping not just Steve Downes and Jen Taylor when they took over the series, but also bringing back Keith David and Nathan Fillion a full eight and five years since they'd last played their respective characters.
Worst recast on Blizzard latam voices since legion updates, velen got like 3 voices in Legion alone and multiple recast on both faction leaders in BfA
I really hate how Halo 2's wise and calculating Prophet of Truth was recast in Halo 3 to match the retcon that he's a cookie cutter raving zealot. What a regression.
To make it worse, the Bungie guys were patting themselves on the back about it in the Halo 3 behind the scenes content. Just no. You ruined your villain.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so!
Hm he's incredible actor, but probably not as good when it comes to VA. His voice really bothered me when I played Observer (he was the main protagonist).
They used someone else to direct XV's VA. It's pretty easy to tell when you compare it with something like Dissidia...
