“Finally, I hope that everyone involved may resolve their differences in an amicable and respectful way.”īayonetta 3 is launched later this month, coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch on 28th October 2022. It’s rough enough for voice actors who are legitimately pushing for a living wage this is an insult to everyone in the industry whether it’s union or non-union work. With that in mind PlatinumGames asked for more respectful discourse last week, and new voice of Bayonetta Jennifer Hale said, “I sincerely ask that everyone keep in mind that this game has been created by an entire team of hard-working, dedicated people and I hope everyone will keep an open mind about what they’ve created. The most disappointing element is that this has spilled over to targeting people not related to the decision in any way. The industry is powerful, they have powerful journalists too. Jennifer Hale is the English dub voice of Bayonetta in Bayonetta 3, and Atsuko Tanaka is the Japanese voice. I will post the 14 charities, so that you can donate to charity, instead of buying this game from corrupt, greedy people.) There are people who are attempting to throw shade and discredit what I say. Speaking of which, after the last decade where journalistic integrity has been regularly called into question, there’s also this: opening a broader discussion about pay for actors in gaming. Regardless, all we’re left with is bitterness from Taylor, and PlatinumGames (outside of Hideki Kamiya’s response) keeping silent on the matter, while journalists dig up any kind of information they can to find out what actually happened. New reports suggest that Bayonetta 3 voice actor Hellena Taylor was offered at least 15,000 to reprise her role on the game. It's been a wild ride for Bayonetta 3 recently and everyone involved - with the original Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylor making allegations against PlatinumGames and Hideki Kamiya last. It’s not known how much the new voice of Bayonetta, Jennifer Hale, has been paid for the role. ![]() If the Bayonetta franchise is truly worth $450 million, then shouldn’t the voice actors be paid more accordingly? I’m not talking full-blown Hollywood star numbers, but $15,000 for such a prominent video game character does seem pretty low to me, even if $450 million is over-egging the pudding. ![]() Of course, it’s not a particularly good look that Taylor didn’t exactly offer the full sequence of events in the first place, focussing in on the $4,000 as a final offer and then stating to VGC in private messages that the suggestion she was ever offered more than $4,000 was “categorically untrue”.Īnyway, what it really boils down to is worth and how the teams behind video games are valued and paid.
