Not a lot of recognizable names honestly.

Me too. Only recognized Takaya Kuroda and Kaida Yuko from those names.
Probably the casts are taken from voice actors that also dubbed known series in japan too, like CSI or something.

I wonder if it will be better than Skyrim's Japanese dub. That one was pretty bad.

Probably. Western AAA games are big on realism, so Western voice-acting tend to be more down-to-earth than the typically outlandish anime voice-acting, so it is more sensible to use seiyuu who sound more plainspoken.

That's not always true. For example, Dragon Age II, Assassin's Creed series and Witcher 3 all use very famous seiyuus and dub in those games is great. Hell, if we're talking about AC series, I prefer Japaese dub of Ezio trilogy (based on parts of the games that I've heard). Tomokazu Seki nailed it as Ezio.

Aside of Iwasaki, Seto, Kuroda, Zougou, and Kaida not too much recognizable names.
Besides, I don't like Batman games Japanese dub, in the previous comment, I have heard Ezio's Japanese voice in Soul Calibur 5 and nailed it.

I dunno. Beast Wars has the best JP cast of any show and the voice acting was terrible. You need cast, show and direction to have great voice acting.
