Recently, actressDebra Wilson (Debra Wilson) stated that while the frequent use of her real likeness for game characters has brought her work opportunities, it may also hinder players' immersion in the roles. She has voiced major characters in over 100 games, with at least two dozen other titles scanning and using her face.
Wilson understands that some players are tired of repeatedly seeing the same face, and she doesn't always like this practice either. She mentioned that Amanda Waller from Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Grace Walker from Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and Callisto from Marvel's Wolverine all resemble her. The Marvel's Wolverine project even wanted to scan her existing tattoos, but she refused.
Wilson is not opposed to all facial capture. Most main actors in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach appear as themselves, so she accepts this unified creative choice. What concerns her more is that while some actors can hide behind virtual characters, her real face is often retained exclusively.
Wilson believes that actors should serve the story and enter different lives by understanding the emotional core of their characters; if a familiar face breaks player immersion, the magic of the performance diminishes. When playing Gróa in God of War Ragnarök, she deliberately kept her distance from another actor to enhance the genuine tension in their scenes together.
