So, I got to thinking about this.
Let's say Legends of Wrestling or Smackdown vs RAW has a story that incorporates older wrestlers. Now, usually, Smackdown will have a few wrestlers involved to do voice overs, like Hogan,Piper, Austin or Mick Foley. However, what about if they decide to have a guy do a voice that sounds like a Andre the Giant, or a Rick Rude, or something else, to mimic that character? What would your thoughts be on that? Would it be in bad taste to hear someone do something like that or would it not bother you? Some other emotion?

I don't really see the point. Hearing someone do an Andre impression isn't going to improve the game. I guess it would offend me; I dunno, it just strikes me as a bit odd.

It would probably creep me out but, not offend me or anything.

Not really offensive. I'd see it on the same tier as an actor playing a now-dead person in a movie.

I usually play games with the sound turned off & use subtitles to understand what's going on... I guess that it wouldn't affect me if I didn't hear it.
It could be construed as bad taste if a person JUST recently died & a voice-over actor filled the part, but I don't think I'd be personally offended.

I'd be offended. Very offended. Vickie Guerrero making out with the Edge offended.

I'm kind of on the fence with this one. As I see it depends on if; a) the family has approved, b) if the family are getting much needed royalties from said use.

Depends, if it's a THQ game, yes, because of the awful storylines Ill know them to be in

I'd be fine with it, but they'd be better off just getting sound from old promos of them.

I'd be fine with it, but they'd be better off just getting sound from old promos of them. But then you wind up with disjointed sounding dialogue, like the commentary in SmackDown!: Just Bring It! "THE UNDERTAKER... has a great... TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!" |

I wouldn't be offended, but I'd rather they didn't do it because it would be kind of dumb I think.

Even guys doing their own voice sound like robots....so, I wouldn't be offended.

I watch movies and television shows all the time where (get ready for this) people PLAY real life characters who are deceased *gasp*.
I don't see a problem with it.
