Video Game Characters and Their Real Life Face Models
Compiled via reddit, this is a really cool list of a bunch of famed video game characters and the facial models that inspired them. Sure, many heroes and villains are created from scratch, but with facial mapping tech these days, there’s no reason that a real human shouldn’t be used.
Most of these are from Valve titles, but a few Mass Effect roles slid in as well. You could do it for games like LA Noire I suppose, but the characters in that game essentially ARE the actors to the point where it’s easy to ID them right off the bat.
Any significant ones you think they missed here? Check out the full gallery below:
they did the crowbar really well
How about Aaron Staton from Mad Men and the title character from LA Noire?
How about the guy who played Starkiller in The Force Unleashed? Sam Witwer
Byung-hun Lee from Lost Planet.
I still say Miranda looks creepy.
How about that dude in that game?
My mind is blown from Max Payne. Been a fan of Max Payne since 2001 and never really thought about the actor they used for the face.
Wish they would have kept him for the rest, even though hes a little wacky looking by todays standards.
I think that Portal 2 one was a little spoilery, wasn’t it?
Lucy (Kristen Bell) from assassins creed 2 was pretty well done.
DAMN mark vanderloo for his good looks!
If there is one for Garrett Hawke DA2 I must know!
Where is Nathan Drake / Nolan North from Uncharted series?
But who did they model Miranda Lawson’s arse on?
You missed out Sam Witwer (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 1 and 2.

Another good one is Peter Mensah in Dead Space.
How could they leave 47 (David Bateson) out of this?
Seriously, I like the crowbar. Totally made my day hahaha.
What about the french model that Desmond, Ezio and Altiär were modeled off of in Assassin’s Creed
