It turns out that a lot of characters you just might know from your games are very much modeled after real people. Let the page show more.

Wow. that explains why I always thought I had seen some of those characters before.
There are quite a few popular models for our game characters ;)

gamerdude1325376d ago

If I'm not mistaken, Desmond Miles/Altair/Ezio Auditore di Firenze is based off some Canadian dude that I've seen a couple times before, but forgotten his name.

DatNJDom815376d ago

@ Second guy in my family aka Chuck Norris. That was funny.

ravinash5375d ago

I keep forgetting how good looking MGS4 is when you compare the computer model to the real people.

specialguest5375d ago

Though not official, I am certain they modeled Naomi Hunter based on Monica Bellucci:

The Shepard guy looks almost surreal after playing Mass Effect so much.

Weird.

gamingdroid5376d ago

I didn't like the Shepard original look and now I know. He looks like schmuck in real life too!

Thank God I can customize my own Shepard!

ReservoirDog3165376d ago

Haha, he fits the part. But I suck* at customizing faces. End up looking like aliens.

Nihilism5376d ago

That's why I chose a female shepard, the guy one looks like a jock douche.

CrzyFooL5376d ago

They did a really good job with Vanderloo and Shepard. They failed at the chicks tho. People apparently can't model females well. That being said, I would break Kristen Bell in half, good lord. om nomnomnomnom.

I also approve of the random Chuck Norris joke at the end.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast192d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine192d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast192d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman192d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast191d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman191d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran8429d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto429d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia429d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger429d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie429d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos429d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie429d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh429d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

SimpleSlave440d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?

2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan440d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave440d ago (Edited 440d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
