BioShock Infinite’s generic protagonist fits into every game (gallery)

DeWitt’s boring pose and general design are so banal that you could stick him in any action game and he wouldn’t seem out of place — something you could not do with a Big Daddy.

That Uncharted cover was the first thing that came into my mind when I saw this, too.

pixelsword4147d ago

They all fit the same because the main character's are the same. Just like the Mass Effect Shepard/ Resistance hale/ Infamous Cole clone that's probably 40 or 50 more characters.

I like Nariko from HS, The old and New Dante from DMC, Emmit from StarHawk, Faith from Mirror's Edge, Tawodi from Prey, Robots, Aliens, and sometimes creative things that don't exist to be the main character. Devs act like people won't buy the game if it's not one of those two types of guys.

That's probably why shooters feel samey because you're playing the same dog-gone character in just about all of them.

EditorAtGNG4147d ago

You put Shepard out there yet you don't really grasp that he could also be a she, and everyone probably made their own. So, it doesn't really fit the profile.

sikbeta4147d ago

lol that pic works great for the BI cover XD

joab7774147d ago

I agree but from what i have read, we will all forget about the stupid cover in march. Why not the girl?

violents4147d ago (Edited 4147d ago )

yeah it looks like nathan drakes gay brother with the ascot on.

The call of duty and max pain ones look the best.

Irishguy954147d ago

Nathan looks a good bit gayer than this guy to be fair

ThichQuangDuck4147d ago

They made it a Brotastic cover to reach a wider market. There will be alternate covers.I do however wish there was an overall variation in what gaming protagonist looked like

The guys in my frat are gonna love this!

The Modern Warfare 3 mockup is dead on, which is kinda sad.

PhoenixRising374148d ago

What color background do you think the soldier on the MW4 box will have?

I'm guessing purple.

Relientk774148d ago

Definitely fits the Uncharted 1 and 3 covers

Top 10 Rarest Xbox 360 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"

1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.

I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.

gamerz267d ago

Me too. Here's the best I can do:

El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76

Christopher267d ago

Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.

Soy267d ago

It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.

jznrpg267d ago (Edited 267d ago )

Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.

sadraiden267d ago

Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are the rarest games of all time.

8 Best Games Set In A Multiverse

One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.

However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.

While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
