The Mermaid Mask is out now on Steam, PS5, Switch 1 and Switch 2 - and it's been getting some really excellent reviews...

@FayerDev @zomwalruss People are acting like I said something 1000x more inflammatory and judgemental than I did, it’s very strange indeed

@wwwdotyoutube What about the Guillermo Del Toro character, Deadman? He had Del Toro’s face but the performance and voice is someone else

[Adam Vian @SFBDim]

I used to be a big fan of Kojima’s games but as someone who really doesn’t like the trend of real actors appearing in video games, I couldn’t be less interested in his modern-day output as it seems like that’s entirely what he’s focused on.

@Millerjs86 I only have so much time to play games, I need all the silly reasons I can get :)

[Adam Vian @SFBDim]

@JvstJhn I didn’t mean ‘real’ screen actors vs voice actors, as both are obviously real actors. I meant actors’ real faces actually appearing in the game. I accept I could have worded it differently.

[Adam Vian @SFBDim]

@jeanosis_ef Well my argument would be that face wouldn’t be random, it would have been designed intentionally to serve that specific character, story and world. (I also personally find recognisable faces in video games slightly distracting and immersion-breaking, but that’s just me!)

[Adam Vian @SFBDim]

@jeanosis_ef It’s just not my personal preference, I happen to like video game character design to be bespoke, including faces. I’m not saying either approach is bad or incorrect

[Adam Vian @SFBDim]

@Leenat40 Personally I prefer wholly original character designs in games, specifically including the faces. the MGS series, for instance, did basically have that (prior to MGSV, which was a turning point). Just my personal preference, not any kind of statement about which is right/wrong

[Adam Vian @SFBDim]

@Roger_Avlis I am!!

[Adam Vian @SFBDim]

@hacylhacyl I’m not stopping him!!

[Adam Vian @SFBDim]

@KlorgBin23 Sometimes it’s not even their performance though, just their face

[Adam Vian @SFBDim]

Death Stranding may be a great game, I don’t know, I was put off by the sense that it was a list of cameos from people he knows and admires irl
