10 Stereotype breaking video game characters

Anything story based, such as movies, comic books, or in this case, video games, will always have certain stereotypical elements to some degree. Although this isn't always a bad thing, it's still refreshing to see video game characters that break the mold and stand out in their own unique way.

Wow, very good picks! Obviously being a Splinter Cell fan, Sam Fisher is the best EVER. You come up with a lot of good points on characters that would normally be a stereotype. Very well done! I approve.

Cole... because he's bald (kinda) is new?

MelonieMac5356d ago

Not necessarily brand new, but it's not stereotypical or ordinary. In my opinion, anyway. :)

despair5356d ago

I always thought Cole broke from the Stereotype by being an ordinary looking guy, just average except for the superpowers of course.

Kenshi from Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance!

Shocked to see I've never heard of Nikki Connors before this article :).

MelonieMac5356d ago

Yeah, Rogue Ops wasn't the biggest success in the world back in the day, but I was hyped for it at the time and remembered her from that. :)

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia182d ago (Edited 182d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken182d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb182d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno182d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex181d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

Ten games but need nine clicks to the list. No thank you.

Profchaos237d ago (Edited 237d ago )

Earthbound
I don't know if it's on the list and I'm not giving them 9 clicks to find out but it's one of the greatest games ever made with a story that stays with you months after the game ends so it's in my list

__y2jb237d ago

Maybe 3 of them are 10/10. Some (far cry) are 7/10 at best.

COS237d ago

Sorry, this list needs a lot of work. remakes should not be a part of it, Missing original Halo is a mistake IMO. I also think Ghosts of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn warent consideration. Again it's all subject to opinion.

Atleast release a remaster trilogy or something to gage interest. I'd buy it. With that said I'm pretty over superheroes at this point. Infamous is still dope as fk though so it'd be a buy

isarai369d ago

Omfg i would go apesh!t for that 😩

jznrpg369d ago

I agree but games take 4-6 years to make so who knows when they would do it? After Ghost of Tsushima2? They could have something else in the world as well in early production who knows.

mkis007369d ago

It's a shame Sucker Punch finally figured out a good open world formula only while making Ghost of Tsushima. Infamous 1 and 2 were great for their time, but Second son felt too much like a checklist in It's design. I love the hell out of all 3 games (2 and 3 are just so damn good, while 1 shows it's age and the ps3 struggles), but I would love to see how they would do another infamous with all they have learned. Wouldn't hurt to release a remastered collection either.

Demetrius369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

This series, days gone, will continue to get ignored by sony, luckily we still have the horizon series, sly cooper not getting pushed anymore, speaking of that I'm bout to get on my ps2 and play some sly 2 anyways lol, but seriously I never woulda thought back then sony would ever cold shoulder most of their franchises I'm actually surprised they're still letting ratchet&clank be around
