Don't Cast Hollywood Celebs In Video Games | Spot On
This week, Tam and Lucy talk about why games use celebrities as actors and whether it's helping or hurting the industry.
Mortal Kombat 1 has launched to critical acclaim, with special praise for the outlandish story and the new gameplay systems. However, one area of the game that has attracted much criticism is the performance of Megan Fox, who is noticeably stilted compared to the rest of the cast. This is, unfortunately, the second time Mortal Kombat has been caught up in a bad celebrity performance drama, with Mortal Kombat 11's Sonya Blade being played by Ronda Rousey... poorly.
This leads to the question: Why do games have celebrities in them when the chances of getting a rough performance out of them are so high? And why don't games rely on actors who understand games better since they offer so much more to the culture? That's exactly what Tam and Lucy discuss in this Spot On episode.
Spot On is GameSpot's weekly news show in which managing editor Tamoor Hussain and senior producer Lucy James talk about the latest game news. Given the massive video game industry's highly dynamic and never-ending news cycle, there's always something to talk about. Unlike most news shows, Spot On will dive deep into a single topic instead of recapping all the news. Spot On airs each Friday.
