Vaas is a real guy too:

Name is Michael Mando.

 

[taizuke]

I get a Bruce Willis vibe when he does the face. Intentional?

 

[Currygan]

I guess we all know about Niko Bellic and Vladimir Mashkov

 

[thefro]

I thought it was cool how much the characters in the Uncharted games are based on the voice actors. It's not always exact but you can tell who everyone is, especially when you see their facial expressions.

[Nekofrog]

Silent Hill 2 still trumps a lot of this. The models used for the characters were also the mocap and the voice actors.

I recognized Sam Witwer from a movie, after I had first seen him in Force Unleashed:

Then I realized that horrible bitch had him horribly killed in the Mist:

 

[Tashi]

Yvonne Strahovski is the wind beneath my wings.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Looks the same right?

BSG Spoiler :

He dies because of a cowardice, "horrible bitch" in BSG as well.... Fucking MOVE Cally!

From the videogame Mass Effect 3.

dat corner cutting

This really needs to be ret-conned. The Quarians looking like that is un-a-fucking-cceptable.

I'm usually not one to cite to fan fiction or fan art but jesus christ. People coming up with unique designs, some of them quite good...the fucking pro's didn't even try. They had years to do it.

 

[Mazer Rackham]

fake miranda has a ridiculous ass

internet high five

 

[Sentenza]

Hey guys, how did you feel about Tali's face model?

The woman in the picture they picked is just *gorgeous*, but the story behind the laziness of this choice is hilariously bad.
A random stock photo? Seriously?

 

[shinobi602]

Seeing Vanderloo and Shepard next to each other is always amazing.

Straight up real life Shepard....fuck lol.

 

[Nemesis_]

LOL I am screaming

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Then I realized that horrible bitch had him horribly killed in the Mist:

God, that damn scene is burned in my head

The crowd got SO EXCITED when

Spoiler

that crazy bitch got shot!

 

[Sinistral]

"Bad lighting on the porch."

 

[Kaizen]

desmond as well

 

[TheLight]

Ah she was in the newest season of Dexter. Did NOT know this.

 

[JustinBB7]

Miranda > Yvonne

Yvonne has no ass or tits

 

[TouchMyBox]

Best part of the last season of Dexter.

Miranda > Yvonne

Yvonne has no ass or tits

Yvonne has more polygons and has higher resolution textures though.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

I know I'm not the only one who thinks game Miranda has more than a passing resemblance to Michael Jackson.

Thank you for this. That always freaked me out.

 

[DonMigs85]

Many of the Resident Evil characters have also been modeled after actors since REmake.

 

[Dahbomb]

DMC4 Dante concept art was so clearly based off of Tom Cruise it was uncanny:

Of course he's really based on this guy:

Concept DmC Dante looks like Ashton Kutcher:

In-game DmC Dante looks like Hayden Christensen.


But in reality is based off this guy:

 

[Haunted]

Wow. Is that really what Tali looks like?

Where is this pic from?

They literally took a random pic from Google Images and shopped it. It appears in the game like that on Shepard's desk.

Unbelievable.

desmond as well

What they did to this guy's model across the 5 games is nothing short of a crime.


I mean what the fuck

 

[TheSeks]

Don't forget there's Samara's face model, Rana McAnear, who cosplays as her from time to time too!

Woah, how did she do the hair? A bunch of hair-gel?

This video on the making of The Last Window, the sequel to Hotel Dusk, shows the face models for the characters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv6L26DZYEs

Game is ruined for me know that I know all they're doing is tracing over photos and then shading it to look like it was pencil drawn.

 

[Tunesmith]

wat

These look completely different. Eyebrows, eyes, lips... the nose might be slightly similar but if that's really supposed to be who the model is based on, they've done a poor fucking job.

Looks nothing like Liara.

Doesn't show that well in pictures, another example:

It's much easier to see in motion.

 

[OatmealMu]

The woman in the picture they picked is just *gorgeous*, but the story behind the laziness of this choice is hilariously bad.
A random stock photo? Seriously?

I had hoped they'd give her face a creepy bent -- make a part of the player base say to themselves, "Is that what I've been eyeing?!" Can't do that, though! Have to maintain a degree of fuckability...

 

[Imbarkus]

Yvonne has more polygons and has higher resolution textures though.

Also, force feedback. Absolutely crucial.

 

[diamount]

Her buck teeth gave it away.

So we're comparing game character models to their real life counterparts...okay I'll join in:

I still think Liara looks like Drew Barrymore (though I don't know what she looks like in ME3, as I've yet to play it). Maybe I'm just crazy, but in ME1, I thought the entire Asari raced looked like blue Drew Barrymores

[Ploid 3.0]

Chuck was so much better when he was chasing her, once they were a couple it got too gooey.

Awesome was the real star of the show though.

The problem with the series that have chases and romance. When they finally get the girl it should be the end, or be like Jerry and have a new girlfriend each episode.

The Office U.S. for example.

Did Steve ever get Lara without having to be Stefan?

 

[Dantis]

Silent Hill 2 still trumps a lot of this. The models used for the characters were also the mocap and the voice actors.

Unless you post some comparison shots, this is a completely baseless thing to say.

I thought it was cool how much the characters in the Uncharted games are based on the voice actors. It's not always exact but you can tell who everyone is, especially when you see their facial expressions.

I half agree. Isn't that Robin Atkin Downes though? I didn't even know he was in Uncharted 2.

Interview

And it's freaking me out a little bit. Crazy. 99% of you probably already knew, but if you didn't, join me in this revelation.

[Haunted]

So we're comparing game character models to their real life counterparts...okay I'll join in:

Are we going to post random Vin Diesel games and Stranglehold next?

I think the Half Life 2 pictures from the book are more appropriate.

 

[Insaniac]

you guys know that every character ever is modeled after david bowie, c'mon

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Do it =p, in fact we should post parodies as well.

Still dun see the resemblance.

Need a picture with her hair on the back and one eyebrow raised to properly judge.

 

[jonno394]

Gackt and Genesis (Crisis Core) is more obvious and more publicised than most.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Sam Lake as Max Payne

Wow it's like he's doing an imitation of Bruce Willis!

 

[randomwab]

Gackt and Genesis (Crisis Core) is more obvious and more publicised than most.

I'd argue Gackt and Squall, Advent Children Cloud and Lightning.

 

[Young Nobleman Of Sadness]

Jacques Blanc was based upon Doraemon.

Also:

 

[george_us]

Real Miranda has no ass.

Alas this is true but everything else on her is gorgeous so I give her a pass.

 

[Meccanical]

Jacques Blanc was based upon Doraemon.

Wat

 

[Ezalc]

Miranda > Yvonne

Yvonne has no ass or tits

Doesn't matter, Yvonne is still gorgeous.

Also, dat Samara goddamn.

I am with you on this. Now that race is forever ruined/enhanced for me.

 

[MuddyDonut]

It's Dexters gf!

 

[1stStrike]

Fap material on the gaming side? I'm down.

But in all seriousness, I knew they used real people for the models, but it's definitely a hit and a miss sometimes on whether they actually end up resembling them once Bioware's done with the character.

 

[BeEatNU]

Real Miranda is really hot.

truth but in game Miranda is still pretty hot.
