Added DiffLines:
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', Creator/JamesEarlJones and Creator/JonathanTaylorThomas are credited for reprising their roles as Mufasa and young Simba in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994''. In reality, it's done entirely through archived sound, as they don't say any lines they didn't have in the film. Thomas' case [[JustifiedTrope works well]] as the audio recycling was done only for a flashback adult Simba has of Mufasa's death--his only line is the BigNo, by the way.
** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI Kingdom Hearts]] [[UpdatedRerelease Final Mix]]''. Because this version of the game, initially a Japan-only exclusive, uses the English voice acting, the cutscene before the fight with the BonusBoss [[EarlyBirdCameo Unknown]] has archived audio for Sora and Goofy, with shaking text for the Unknown. This still holds true for the HD collection release in the West, in spite of the fact that [[spoiler:the Unknown's true identity has new recorded English dialogue for the ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2'' portion of the collection]]. The rest of the cutscenes added for this release, while they feature characters speaking, have no voices at all -– the dialogue is conveyed through the subtitles.
** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for later rereleases: The new cutscenes in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Final Mix'' don't have voices in the English track, but do when played with the Japanese track in Theater Mode [[note]]although the newly-added BossBattle with [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind Roxas]] does use stock audio for his battle grunts[[/note]] -- and the [[AfterTheEnd Secret Episode]] of ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth by Sleep]] Final Mix'' uses Japanese voice acting by default.
*** And now the cutscenes added in ''KHIIFM'' have had English dialogue recorded for them in the [[CompilationRerelease HD ReMIX collections]], with one exception -- a cutscene featuring the character of [=DiZ=] uses archived audio of his original voice actor Creator/ChristopherLee.
** In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', the child actresses who played young Rapunzel in ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', and young Anna (speaking and singing) and Elsa in ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' are similarly credited as reprising their roles, as they appear only in flashbacks to the AMinorKidroduction scenes from their films. More impressively, Boo from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' actually manages to be present throughout that film's entire segment of the game, voiced entirely by archived recordings of her original voice, Mary Gibbs.
* Bill in the ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' DLC campaign "Crash Course" counts. His voice actor was unavailable for almost a year (no news yet as to why), so the only lines he has are his generic stock lines. [[spoiler:Valve then decided it would be easier to just kill the character off in "The Passing".]] He did, however, return in time to record new lines for "The Sacrifice." Obviously, the fandom was pleased.
* In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterTheMovie'', the late Creator/RaulJulia is credited as M. Bison, the character he played in [[Film/StreetFighter the film]]. In reality, Juliá's likeness only appears in the arcade attract mode (using [[StockFootage recycled footage from the movie]]) and character select screen, as he was far too ill at the time to do any stunt filming for the game. The character's actual in-game animations were performed by Darko Tuscan, Juliá's stunt double, with Bison's trademark CommissarCap used to partially obscure his face.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'':
** On a similar note, the ''[=TF2=]'' video "Meet the Spy" uses stock audio for the Engineer, Sniper (who only grunts in this case), and Medic--the last being especially noteworthy for recycling a completely unrelated DummiedOut line and still sounding completely natural. The voice actors technically would have been available, though (especially the Sniper's, who besides Ellen [=McLain=] is the closest thing Valve has to a full-time voice actor, and who also recorded new lines for that very update).
** "Meet the Medic" involved reused clips to a lesser extent. The Demoman's only word ("MEDIC!") is a stock voice clip despite the fact that his voice actor also plays the Heavy, who has plenty of original dialogue in the video. The Scout and Heavy both receive an instance of reused stock phrases mixed in with original dialogue. Interestingly the two words the Spy utters in the video ("Kill me") are original.
** The video for the Second Annual Saxxy Awards uses almost exclusively recycled and clipped voiceclips. This was due to the event itself being for fan-made videos, who understandably would use recycled voice clips.
** Grant Goodeve was unavailable to record the Engineer's lines in Expiration Date, so Creator/NolanNorth was assigned to provide them in a very convincing sound-alike role. Less convincing are the screams and sole line he recorded for the Soldier as he's being tossed by the bread monster.
* They appear to attempt this in ''VideoGame/Jak3Wastelander'', as Keira has few lines in the game compared to the previous two. By the next game though they brought her back in for some more full scenes, and she was a main character again by ''[[VideoGame/JakAndDaxterTheLostFrontier The Lost Frontier]]''.
* Happens a lot with in both ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' and ''VideoGame/SDGundamGGeneration'' game series with voice actors who recorded lines in older games but died later on (especially with Creator/KanetoShiozawa, Creator/HirotakaSuzuoki and Creator/DaisukeGori) since they used archived voices of them in later games.
* ''VideoGame/Postal2'' had Gary Coleman as a guest star. Gary returned in the ''Paradise Lost'' DLC, but since that game was made long after he died, Gary used recycled clips, with all the plot-relevant lines being relayed by his DragonInChief [=McWillis=].
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
** Happened with Meryl in ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 2|SonsOfLiberty}}: [[UpdatedRerelease Substance]]'', where she is a boss character in one of the VR missions and she just reuses Olga's lines from ''her'' boss fight in the main game. This would have worked out well in the Japanese version, as the two characters were voiced by Kyoko Terase... if not for the fact that the Japanese version of ''Substance'' on [=PS2=] only had English voice acting; it wasn't until the later ''HD Edition'' that the Japanese got all the bonus ''Substance'' content in their native language.
** A much more traditional comes in Gray Fox's guest appearance in the Japanese version of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''. Due to Creator/KanetoShiozawa's death in 2000, the developers simply reused archived recordings from the original ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' for his character.
** In the Japanese version of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'', Liquid Ocelot is voiced by Creator/BanjoGinga (Liquid Snake's voice) for most of the game until he reverts back to his original personality at the end. His final line in the game is spoken by the deceased Creator/KojiTotani, which is actually a voice clip from the very first ''Metal Gear Solid''.
* The downloadable GuestFighter VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} in ''VideoGame/AnarchyReigns'' has lines that are purely recycled from her game of origin.
* Related to the above, Creator/{{Sega}} (the publisher of ''Anarchy Reigns'' [[note]]which was developed by Creator/PlatinumGames[[/note]]) does this a lot. For example, ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed]]'' used recycled audio for almost all characters, except guest characters (WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph and Danica Patrick) and those who had little-to-no voice acting in their games of origin. And even then, depending on the character, they may still use sound effects from their home games as a form of speech.
* In ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun''[='=]s expansion ''Firestorm'', Umagon is only seen via grainy CCTV footage, while Tratos' face is shown either partially in shade or obscured by a cloak.
* Sian Blake was the voice actress of Yugiri Mistwalker in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV''. She was brutally murdered along with her children shortly after the first ''Heavensward'' patch. Out of respect for Blake's family, Creator/SquareEnix did not have the Yugiri character voiced for almost two years. To get around the issue, Yugiri was simply absent for most of the story and any appearances that she did make would be in non-voiced cutscenes. Once the murder case on Blake was settled, the developers hired a new voice actress for the character.
* ''VideoGame/Persona5'': Following the release of ''VideoGame/Persona4'', Igor's Japanese voice actor passed away. [[spoiler:At first, it seems that the game is going TheOtherDarrin route. However, the new voice actor sounds a lot different from the old one, which is your first clue that the Igor you're talking to for most of the game isn't the real Igor. He's actually the GreaterScopeVillain in disguise. When the real Igor shows up at the very end of the game, he's voiced by recycled clips from the original actor.]]
* ''VideoGame/BugsBunnyLostInTime'' had the Looney Tunes characters voiced by their 1990s-era voice cast (such as Creator/BillyWest as Bugs), except for Yosemite Sam, whose voice was entirely old clips of Creator/MelBlanc, a full decade after his death.
* Several voice lines in ''VideoGame/LEGOTheIncredibles'' were lifted from the [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles first]] [[WesternAnimation/Incredibles2 two]] movies for cutscenes.

To get around the issue, Yugiri was simply absent for most of the story and any appearances that she did make would be in non-voiced cutscenes. Once the murder case on Blake was settled, the developers hired a new voice actress for the character.
* ''VideoGame/Persona5'': Following the release of ''VideoGame/Persona4'', Igor's Japanese voice actor passed away. [[spoiler:At first, it seems that the game is going TheOtherDarrin route. However, the new voice actor sounds a lot different from the old one, which is your first clue that the Igor you're talking to for most of the game isn't the real Igor. He's actually the GreaterScopeVillain in disguise. When the real Igor shows up at the very end of the game, he's voiced by recycled clips from the original actor.]]
* ''VideoGame/BugsBunnyLostInTime'' had the Looney Tunes characters voiced by their 1990s-era voice cast (such as Creator/BillyWest as Bugs), except for Yosemite Sam, whose voice was entirely old clips of Creator/MelBlanc, a full decade after his death.
* Several voice lines in ''VideoGame/LEGOTheIncredibles'' were lifted from the [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles first]] [[WesternAnimation/Incredibles2 two]] movies for cutscenes.
