Comment on Video game actors' strike officially ends after AI deal
paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Are we aware of any big name titles that are not complete because they didn’t have actors?
Is there any chance this contributed to latest GTA6 delay?
Or did all of the major studios just switch to actors that are not part of a guild/union?

Rockstar actually went into hiring frenzy after the last delay, and it wasn’t just QA people this time but very fundamental positions like senior physics programmers, art leads, UX engineers and so.
I actually had many friends interviewed, some hired but most scared off as R* people made it pretty clear they’re walking into a mess.
To me, R* is trying to give birth to a baby in 1 month by hiring 9 pregnant people.
In VO terms I would highly doubt capturing performances would delay anything at all, but creating/revising rest of the cinematics is a burden for the devs. And R* would know better VO isn’t a part to go skimpy.

huh, interesting! It’s The Mythical Man-Month! That book was published back in 1975. They definitely know better, but must be in quite a pickle.
