English MobsterSAG-AFTRA Calls Interactive Media Strike Authorization Vote
CopernicanCurious. Does this strangely help game devs avoid crunch? If the stories and acting can’t be completed, does that buy them more time to just make the gameplay?
1bluepixelIt depends.
If the game is already cast and VO/performance hasn’t been recorded yet, then yes, it will grind production to a halt.
If the game hasn’t been cast yet, some studios might decide to go record VO in the UK instead. Typically that leads to lower quality unless the cast needs to be British. The American voice actor pool in the UK is much smaller than the U.S. for obvious reasons, and that leads to much lower quality of performance.
