Per the OP Death Stranding must be absolutely doomed to be mediocre.
Its marketing money, if it wasn't spend on actors it would be spent on ads.
I see, but I believe more ads would probably be more effective than including famous actors in the game. . Hell, use famous actors for Ads
I get what OP is saying. They started shoehorning Terry Crews in at some point in development. I think it's reasonable to assume that was done in an effort to attract more people to play the game.
Even the marketing for Crackdown 3 seemed so out of touch with what people look for in games. I can't find the videos, and I'm pretty vague on it, but I seem to recall about a year ago Crackdown 3 gameplay with young women playing and Major Nelson narrating their gameplay. They were laughing and having fun, but no one knew how to play the game properly. Even though the game isn't that great, they were marketing the game with people who didn't showcase the game at its best, and were actually making the game look more dull and flawed than it actually is. When someone plays Uncharted on stage to showcase the game, they're someone that knows how to make the game look awesome. Arguably more awesome than most people will experience...

I don't really like the use of big actors in games. When I brought it up on remedys forum the devs said it was the same as having a movie actor in a movie but I think its different but thats just because im used to the characters being completely unique visual representations.
I think having real human characters (based on real humans) is kind of boring but maybe its easier I guess. Plus a lot are based on less known actors or models.
