Debra Wilson is great value for devs. They can just scan her face and put her straight into the game without spending any time and money getting her model de-sexualized in order to defy the Male Gaze, like they did with Ayloy, Abby and other ugly bitches. She comes pre-ugged.
She is also a great value because she literally has the mocap studio in her house. Its why she is in so many things, she can roll out of bed and start performing, leaving her with a shit ton more productivity compared to even the best actors they could fine.
She literally made herself the perfect person for their needs. Ugly, easy to get, delivers under budget and ahead of schedule, is black. A perfect specimen for their machinations.
I've got to say, that's a really big-brain move for getting work in that industry.
From what I've seen, she seems to be an all around decent person beyond her god awful decisions regarding her looks. Even while being in some of the most aggressively malicious games (like The New Colossus) I can't remember her ever participating in the dogpiling.
So, I can't even hate her personally for it. She just found a way to make bank and they are lining up to line her pockets.
Wait, wait, wait... she has an actual mo-cap studio in her house? Really? Is it mo-cap or performance capture with the voice and facial capture too?
Because if so, ernsithe is right... I may despise her in every game she's in and hate the fact she's cast so much, but that is some next-level commitment to getting picked up as a DEI hire.
I don't know exactly, and its hard to actually track down anything because every search result is the same meme about her across dozens of fucking sites. From memory (so take with a grain of salt) its an entire room of her house devoted to it, and makes it so she only has to come to the actual dev building a few times briefly to finish the game off.
And considering she has been VAing video games since like 2006, which was shortly after she left MadTV at her "peak", it seems she is just committed to being part of the industry period and actually willing to put in the effort to do so.
Its almost a shame that so many companies have overused her, because she seems like one of the blacks who probably earned being hired and is getting fucked by DEI by becoming the face of it unintentionally.
Ah okay. Makes sense. I'm not too arsed to look into the details.
Given her hideous tattoos and shaving her head, I'm guessing she got turned inside out by some producers trying to land a gig, and decided to just go full bore into the gaming sphere as a consistent but safe bet.
She still looked pretty normal for a ways into the 2010s, after she was already established in gaming.
Based on nothing but a guess, I'll give her hideous appearance on being post-menopausal and divorced in her 60s. That's a recipe for women to often turn to unhinged choices for "freedom."
But I think I'm somewhat biased in her favor because of my nostalgia for MadTv and how well most of them can still get me laughing.
Why is she the only person whose character always looks exactly like her?
It's literally in her contract IIRC
How narcissistic do you have to be to demand that every character you voice bear your (utterly goblinoid) visage?
Probably about as narcissistic as the devs that pat themselves on the back for having their dream voice actor AND token diversity at the same time
There's no hiding those cracked out eyes, might as well lean into it.
If I looked like her I'd have the opposite contract drawn up.
Why does she have two right hands?
It’s Death Stranding 2. Kojima just does random shit for mostly no reason.
Huh...my first thought was "fake image from AI".
Just makes me all the more secure in my belief that he's an incredibly overhyped creator.
He can be great but he’s definitely one of those creators who desperately needs someone to reign his autism in.
Kojima is one of the worst things to happen to video games.
Go on. I liked metal gear solid 1-4.
MGS1-3 are really great. 4 starts to go off the rails and lose the plot, but is still fun. 5 has fun gameplay, but the story really suffers.
Even 2 went pretty far out there. I skipped most of the cutscenes. MGS3 reigned it back in and was an all around more consistent work.
2's the reason the series went off the rails, and why every game that chronologically came after it was such a narrative mess. I suspect 3 was made a prequel precisely to avoid all of 2's bullshit.
To be fair, we only got the Fox Engine because he wanted to push the boundaries in attempting to achieve raytrace-equivalent light casting without the costs, and by gosh he managed to find engineers to pull it off. The only engine that outdoes it is the Red Engine, which is extremely impressive from a performance to scaling perspective.
For all his faults, had Konami not been nigger-tier in their intellectual industry foresight they could have been a leading publisher built off the back of Kojima Productions and the Fox Engine. Could you imagine how much money they could have made licencing that engine? Or the kind of games we could have had?
Reminds me of EA completely mishandling the Frostbite, or recently CDPR and the Red Engine. Easy money left sitting on the table.
he hasn't been quite the same since the konami betrayal.
smacks lips
It ain't no muthafuggin lupus.
As long as they’re putting Mad Tv alumni in everything, why not Will Sasso?
With his contracts stating that all characters have to look like him. Or like him playing another character i.e. Will Sasso as Steven Segal.
I would kill for Kenny Rogers Jackass: The Game.
Why does she look like a young dave chappele?
She is used quite a bit. Her voice is fine for me, her face is always worse than real life. Like in Jedi Fallen Order her eyes were out of her head for some reason.
We should be glad she isnt a romance option in any game..... right??? Lawl.
She voices Savathun in Destiny 2, she does a pretty good job. I dont know her politics & I dont care.
More importantly, who tf is asking for Death Stranding 2? It was one of the most boring experiences I've ever had. Half baked QWOP 3D cut together with the worst direct to tv sci fi series of all time directed by someone who has never seen a movie before.
