History FakeAmerican / VideoGames

* In ''VideoGame/Haven2020'', BigBad Lord Ozias has an American accent despite being voiced by the very British Harrison Collett.

* In ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'', American black ops operative Alex Mason is played by Australian Sam Worthington... [[OohMeAccentsSlipping whose strong Aussie accent slips through frequently]]. Though in his defence, when it ''doesn't'' slip, it's actually quite convincing.

* Most of the Blade and Indoline characters in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' have American accents, but the game was dubbed in Europe. One interesting case is Pyra/Mythra's VA, Creator/SkyeBennet, who was born from an American family, but raised in London.

* The voice actor for Barry Burton in the original ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', Barry Gjerde, is Norwegian-Canadian, his apparent accent only adding to the hilarity or the already poorly scripted and terribly acted story. An interview with him reveals all the characters except the narrator, Albert Wesker, Enrico Marini, and Richard Aiken were voiced by other Canadians.

* Mia Taylor from ''VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestivalAllStars'' is an American transfer student from New York, but voiced by Creator/ShuuUchida who is an Australian-raised Japanese. While she doesn't speak in English often enough for her Australian accent to be really noticeable and singing tends to disguise her accent, but it can still be heard if one pays close attention (such as listening to how she pronounces her vowels).

** For that matter, Creator/AlistairDuncan, the voice of Turian Councilor Sparatus, is a Scot, and normally uses a very distinct Scots accent. In the game, Sparatus sounds like he might have been born in Baltimore for all anyone knows.

* English actor Robin Atkin Downes voices American Travis Touchdown in the ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes games''. He's also voiced ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} in a couple games, half-American, half-Japanese Kazuhira Miller in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' and UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII''.

* In ''Videogame/AWayOut'', the Italian-American Leo Caruso is voiced by and modeled after Swedish actor Fares Fares, who makes an admirable effort at a New York accent.

* Creator/QuanticDreams games ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' and ''VideoGame/{{Fahrenheit}}'' were both recorded in Europe but with the cast all playing Americans. [[OohMeAccentsSlipping You can often hear the accents slipping through in both games...]]

* In the original SamAndMax game, ''[[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sam & Max Hit the Road]]'', Max is voiced by Australian actor Nick Jameson.

* Quantic Dreams games ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' and ''VideoGame/{{Fahrenheit}}'' were both recorded in Europe but with the cast all playing Americans. [[OohMeAccentsSlipping You can often hear the accents slipping through in both games...]]

* Suffolk-born (that's in England) actress June Brown (of ''Series/{{Eastenders}}'' fame) plays sexy {{vampires|AreSexGods}}s Vivi in ''VideoGame/BrainDead13''; and she does this in her best SouthernBelle[=/=]Negro accent quite well.

* The voice actor for Barry Burton in the original ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'', Barry Gjerde, is Danish, his accent only adding to the hilarity or the already poorly written and terribly acted story.
