And here I thought that Mr. House (Fallout: New Vegas) was supposed to be based on eccentric Billionaire Howard Hues. This was a fun list though.

Far Cry 5’s Joseph Seed seemed heavily inspired by David Koresh

Missed a trick to use a character creator to re-create Ellen in something like a WWE game with a villain intro.

They could've used Jane's face scan.

"Cinema's 7th Best Joker" in reference to Jared Leto is hilarious

Had to rewatch Jane laughing again a couple of times, glad she confessed.

Surely Mr House is actually based on Howard Hughes?

"Cinema's seventh best Joker", way to throw some shade Jane

I had no idea Leto was in 30 seconds to Mars and I was singing Closer to the Edge yesterday, woah

I'm still not over how surreal it was hearing Kleon from Assassin's Creed Odyssey say "Make Athens Great Again"

I think maybe all of those are based on Howard Hughes but especially Mr. House. Like I’m pretty sure that’s well documented

I always thought Mr. House from Fallout NV was based on Howard Hughes. But, now you mention it the cryogenic chamber is a dead give-away to Walt Disney.

Actually in the fallout 4 dlc Nuka World, there is an exact parody of Walt Disney, frozen head and all.

House is not in a cryogenic chamber

Cinema's 7th best Joker line caught me off guard

I envy anyone that has never seen Fox news.

The CEO of EA looks more like a villain than the actual video game villain

So Zack's plan is to con a load of women, who are trained fighters and actually agreed to come specifically for a fighting tournament, to come to his private Island for "reasons" and doesn't expect to have the shit kicked out of him?

Weirdly enough, we haven't seen him have that happen to him so..it worked?

Can all of you quit being so funny and/or adorable!?! You guys are great! Keep it up!

Now the opposite: 7 Video Game Heroes Obviously based on Real life people

For the record, Bangkok was a level in Hitman No Subtitle rather than Hitman 2. Never clocked that Jordan was meant to be Jared Leto, but then I've managed to remain mostly happily oblivious of Jared Leto in general so no surprise there!

Another villain taken from real person that's related to E.A. is Damon Riccitello, one of the Villains in No More Heroes III and a minor antagonist in Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. He shared his surname with John Riccitello who used to be C.E.O. of E.A., and Damon also shared that position in the game. Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda51 clearly still hated what E.A. and John Riccitello had done to their Shadows of the DAMNED which was published by E.A. The end product changed so much compared to what Suda51's and Mikami Shinji's initial vision because of John Riccitello's inputs and involvements. Damon's surname was changed a bit in No More Heroes III as Ricotello probably as an attempt to avoid legal actions as the game is larger in scale, hence the reference could be much easier to infer.

This is the first thing that's ever wanted to make me play Devil May Cry.

The reboot's story and character design is atrocious, but the gameplay is buttery smooth.

Mr House is Howard Hughes! Even his robot lady and her cut companion correspond to Howards girlfriends

I thought House and the Walt Disney lookalikes named were more Howard Hughes

Balrog from Street Fighter,, when you have to switch names to avoid a law suit thats a pretty big clue

I would call Catalyst a sequel. It more of reimagining seeing how the character might share names but they different people, and the setting is diffrent.

7th best joker. Beautifully executed 👌

You guys are doing such a great job as I have come to expect from such a wonderful team of gamers such as yourselves. You always do such a fantastic job with your writing and video presentation! Please do not take this as a put down in anyway, I feel nothing but admiration for you guys!! I thought you should know that the Devil May Cry logo you used at the very beginning of the video when listing the games that would be spoiled, you used the original logo rather than the reboot one.

Cinema’s 7th best Joker… I’m dying 🤣

I love how they made it look like Andrew in the early concepts of catalyst

4:40 I love how Richters actor kept the accent even when switching to *actual german*. xD

Bioshock's Andrew Ryan is very directly based upon Ayn Rand, the woman who wrote "Atlas Shrugged," the book that Bioshock thoroughly satirizes.

The game is based off Objectivism, her philosophical outlook. The character is most closely based on Hughs as is seen about the comments section.

First but I like y’all channel and it’s kept me entertained for some years now

My main issue with the idea of house being based on Walt Disney is that it has been confirmed numerous times that disney being in stasis is just a rumor. And while he may have had some pretty screwed up views mostly indicative of the time he lived, He was very much a future thinker. If you've ever been to epcot center that was his vision for a world where no one would ever need to drive or fear for their living situation. Originally Disney world was designed to fund the city of epcot rather than it simply being an attraction at the park. Think of how different things might have been if he had succeeded and his brother who he left the project too wasn't a coward
