This just a thread for having fun. Yesterday was the big Cyperpunk 2077 moment with Keanu Reeves.
So what Hollywoodstar could DA 4 possible use for their marketing?
My pick is Alex Winter. He isn´t that big of a Hollywoodstar like Keanu Reeves anymore but he hey is Bill S. "Excellent" Preston. And also you really think that Bioware could afford some similar caliber like Keanu Reeves?
In my opinion he would be good dwarven character.

It's kind of funny that everyone is so positive about this news, because prior to 1999, the reaction to Keanu Reeves being in a cyberpunk video game would be more like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Remember Johnny Mnemonic? Anyways, I actually hope BioWare AVOIDS big name casting with DA4, because it usually doesn't work out the way video game studios hope. How much did Activision pay to get Kit Harington in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare? How much did Konami spend replacing David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland in Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain? How much did Bungie spend on hiring Peter Dinklage for Destiny? How much did Netherrealm studios spend on hiring Ronda Rousey as SONYA FUCKING BLADE?!!!! Did the presence of any of these people help push copies out the door? And BioWare's history with celebrity casting has also had its share of failures. Remember Felicia Day as Tallis in DA2? Remember Jessica Chobot as Diana Allers in ME3? Remember Natalie Dormer as ... whatever the hell her forgettable character's name was in MEA? Remember Catherine Tate as that lesbian bartender from Anthem, or Kristen Schaal as that one merchant? I'm not saying "Every actor must be an unknown!!!" That's basically impossible, and you would miss out on some great lower-tier actors like Claudia Black. I'm just saying that when it comes to casting Johnny Bumblefuck the NPC cabbage merchant, maybe spending $10-20 million to get Jason Momoa to voice him isn’t a great idea.

Eh, I'm sure they'll just pull more actors from Torchwood and Mass Effect. Though I'll admit I'd love it if we got a protagonist voiced by Gemma Whelan.....

you're being awfully selective. Just the (iyo) failures. What about the cast for ME 2? Heh looking through the list the amount of Hollywood star power in that game alone we'd be here all day. But want to draw special attention to Martin Sheen. Can't get much better or more A list then the smooth smooth tones of TIM.

This is the kind of thing that literally only works if people liked you before, if EA got Keanu Reeves or like I dunno beloved character actress Ann Dowd to do something they'd be torn a new hole for being corny/opportunistic/overtly PR-y/gimmicky etc.

There are lots of instances where Big Name Actors were in games and it was completely forgettable.
Does anyone fondly remember that Kristen Bell was in Assassin’s Creed? Can you recall her character’s name without looking it up?
What about Gary Oldman? What game was he in? What character did he play? Trick question: he was in TWO games!

Oh also should mention Gareth David Lloyd. Not sure if he is 'big name' enough but I knew him first as Ianto Jones from Torchwood before Solas.

As I said earlier, I’m not advocating for just casting unknowns. If BioWare followed that policy, we’d never have Kate Mulgrew as Flemeth or Steve Valentine as Alistair or so on.
I’m saying that the expense involved with hiring a prominent actor like, say, Chris Evans to play NPC love interest Gary Goodfuck is rarely worth it. More likely players will fawn over the other LI voiced by some anonymous first-time VA who you had to hire because you blew the voice budget on Captain America.

My last game was Modern Warfare 3 but i won´t dare to say that Gary Oldmans character was forgettable. He was Viktor Reznov and he will have his Revenge.

I'm more fine with celebrity voice actors, rather than full mocap & VO. People like Keith David and Carrie-Anne Moss did a wonderful job with their voice acting.

ME2 and 3 had Carrie-Anne Moss as my super not-so-secret crush Arya T'Loak and I think she's an A-lister.
I like famous voices as cameos mostly, and definitely would not mind Jared Harris as a mentor figure.
And I still think John Barrowman is destined to be the voice of the Maker.

Remember reading something from guys at Bioware that said the data on characters they collected doesn’t really match the internet’s preferences. Which makes sense. The internet fandoms are a real niche group.

Remember reading something from guys at Bioware that said the data on characters they collected doesn’t really match the internet’s preferences. Which makes sense. The internet fandoms are a real niche group. But was that in reference to the romance preferences of ME2 or something else? For instance, all the Internet hype is around FemShep, but the majority of players pick Male Shepard.
Ryan Reynolds as Elgar’nan and Cardi B as Mythal. No, no, Ryan Reynolds is playing Schmooples the IV, the wisecracking intelligent nug detective.

Well, I first thought about it when I heard Eve Myles playing Merrill. Then when GDL was announced as Solas I thought everything was going according to plan. Now if they could also get Burn Gorman and Naoko Mori some small parts I'd know the Maker is real and we're all doomed (but in a good sense, yeah?).
