Oh yeah, it's something new to have real actors became part of the game which ended up nicely done for sure!
I love the idea of having a companion too, and I wouldn't mind to have these even just like that, without being useful at anything, but when they even attack and support you during your fights..it's even cooler!
It's interesting how celebrities are entering the video-game sphere -- like Kevin Spacey and Kit Harrington in past Call of Duty entries, Norman Reedus in Kojima's Death Stranding, A$AP Rocky in the new Need For Speed, and others. It's like what was once different spheres -- video games, movies, television, sports, music -- are all starting to mesh.
Yeah, I know what you mean. And personally, I'd never see this coming but it's a great surprise because they bring a touch of authenticity that felt like missing sometimes, isn't it?
Yeah, I would've never guessed that things like video games or anime would become more mainstream. I agree that it does add a bit or a lot of legitimacy to those industries when A-listers like Michael B. Jordan says in an interview that one of his favorite shows growing up was Bleach, or if very recognizable faces like the guy from Breaking Bad or a famous rapper lend their face and music to upcoming games.
