Games prominently featuring celebrities, who either endorse the game or act as the focus of the story. Games with characters who happen to be played by celebrities are not always tie-ins.
Some of these games were trying to approximate the person's actual features with little success, and others stylized them on purpose. Either way, no one would confuse the resulting characters with the people they represent.
Characters that intentionally resemble a member of the game's development team.
This is an external application usually officially packaged with preorders or as a demo to promote soon-to-be-released games.
Face Mapping allows the player to insert their facial likeness onto a character within the game. It has become a recurring feature in a few EA Sports games, such as the FIFA and Tiger Woods franchises.
Whenever there's a new Pixar, superhero or Harry Potter movie they have to make one of these.
Games based on TV shows, which includes live-action and cartoons.
Nothing helps set a game in a specific point in time more than having a few famous faces from history drop by to say hi.
Humans are bipedal, sapient primates capable of abstract reasoning, language, and emotions.
These games are based off of established licenses, such as movies, comics, or TV shows. Examples are the James Bond 007 and Spider-Man franchises.
Some action-oriented games make use of motion capture technology to make character's movements realistic.
Realism is where a game attempts to accurately mimic real life through gameplay mechanics and visuals. For example, realistic shooters, such as Operation Flashpoint, Full Spectrum Warrior, or Brothers in Arms, typically focus upon squad tactics, i.e. suppressive fire and flanking.
Characters who are influenced and clearly modeled after the late Jeet Kune Do Master, Bruce Lee.
