7 Villains Very Obviously Based on Real People

- It’s not easy devising a videogame villain. You can’t just give someone a skull for a hat and call it a day. Unless you’re Mortal Kombat. Hence some cgames hoose instead to just adapt real people, which has the added bonus of letting them lampoon public figures. Consider seven of those and subscribe for a video like this weekly!

I admire your restraint in not just making this a list of Assassin's Creed villains considering almost all of them are based on real historical figures
I recall when they were making Syndicate and talking about how they had to be careful around guys like Charles Darwin and Karl Marx who had living relatives. Um, do you guys remember AC3?
That deserves its own list.
To be fair let us be honest that sadly with both of those two men part of the reason was also because there is a lsrge sect of Americans who have a misunderstanding of both of those two men
@@runenorderhaug7646 precisely!
The AC3 characters from history were all serviced well enough to maintain that godlike status and hero worship required of the USA's founding story, though they did subvert a bunch of the traditional stuff, they did also maintain the myths and lies. Paul Revere's ride was given to Revere as a passenger on the PC horse for example, whereas the real event was much less important and dramatic and could have been literally just a pub crawl with a non-urgent message, or not have ever really happened.
The same people who couldn't handle seeing the myths of the USA's founding being revealed as false or exaggerations also could never tolerate any depiction of Marx that didn't involve destroying lives and businesses or one of Darwin that didn't involve slaughtering babies.
I wish I was exaggerating, but, have you seen what the the "GOP" has been doing lately?
@@timt5381 honestly GOP and DNC both seem equally insane to me. Its like they are in a pissing match as to who can be the dumbest at any given time.
"7th best Joker" - Jane with the win for the most kind yet brutal Leto takedown ever. Well done.
Don't worry, Leto's only another Batman cinematic reboot from becoming the 8th best Joker.
Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, and Zach Galifianakis. Who else am I forgetting in film?
@@Retro_Red Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Hamill, Mask of the Phantasm was released in theaters.
@@KingOfMadCows Mark Hamill is of course the best Joker. It's right there in his name.
Mark Hamill

Jane is the best 👌 😁
Mr. House and Andrew Ryan were actually based on Howard Hughes! Though him and Disney did look quite alike and had huge empires and were kinda insane, so it's honestly a pretty understandable thing to think
Fallout still does feature a Disney-like, though - instead of Disney World a DLC takes us to Nuka World, where we can find the inventor of Nuka Cola: John-Caleb Bradberton, who was turned into a Futurama-like head in a jar and still remains alive.
THIS! Both of them, it's very very obvious. They should have done a Google check on this one!
House and Andrew Ryan are also based on Ayn Rand, although less in their apearance and demeanor and more in Andrew Ryan's name and the fact they're both critiques of Rand's "rationalism"
I came to the comments to say just this.
Ive got a theory that they messed that up intentionally so that people like you and me will comment which will feed the algorithm. I see it often with youtube shorts. Well, Ive already done my damage, so guess we are all suckers.
@@captironsight actually genius move
No doubt there are some elements of Disney - I’m pretty sure Mr. House was more based on Howard Hughes who became a recluse later in life.
Walt Disney was more closely parodied with Fallout 4’s John-Caleb Bradberton CEO or Nuka Cola and creator of the Nuka World theme park.
Except for the name, which is a combination of the names of the creators of Coca-Cola and Pepsi (John Pemberton and Caleb Bradham, respectively).
@@nightsong81 If Disney had been contracted to make Mickey Mouse-powered portable nukes, infantry combat would be a very different beast. Maybe war can change after all...
There are even some deeds of Howard House that mimic not-confirmed tales about Howard Huges, like the ties with cassinos and cementing undesired stuff under their foundations...
Disney was likely one source of inspiration for Bioshock's villain, whose name I'm uncertain of; was it Ryan?
Edit: just reached that point of the video!
Yet another villain based on Walt Disney (there sure is a lot of them) is Joey Drew from Bendy And The Ink Machine. He's even more obvious than most, being a morally corrupt man running a 1930s cartoon studio.
can't believe you missed the super obvious fact that the "See you at the party" achievement/Total Recall quote is because Michael Ironside's character is named Richter! Arnie literally says "See you at the party, Richter!"
I knew there was a richter there somewhere!
"Two weeks"
It's one of my favorite Arnold quotes to yell. Total Recall is supremely quotable.
Mike literally said all of that, you weren't paying attention.
Yeah, Mr House is literally based on Howard Hughes, who was literally responsible for transforming Las Vegas into the city it became, as was Andrew Ryan (who also inspired Mr House thus the golf club thing). Unless you count the freezing thing
house isnt frozen.
@@dougkleen9917 Pretty sure he's referring to urban legend about Disney.
literally none of the examples given for characters based on Disney were actually based on Disney. Bendy's Joey Drew is more Max Fleischer
We need someone to put Jane as a villain in a game to complete this list.
And the "villains who are having more fun than you are" list too!
I'm not sure if you count noted Jane alter ego, Prudence but she's definitely in a villainous game.
Isn't Jane in 2 Point Campus? She's no doubt studying (or teaching) evil arts...
I always compared Mr. house more to Howard Hughes. Even the painting of him in front of liberty prime is a direct reference to a similar painting of Howard Hughes in front of an airplane. If I had to say any fallout character was based on Walt Disney, I think the closest match would be John Caleb Bradburton, the inventor of Nuka cola.
It's literally been confirmed Hughes was the inspiration for House. Weird to see OX drop the ball like that.
I'm genuinely surprised by that, OXBox very rarely fcks up like that. I always thought the Howard Hughes connection was well established and common knowledge.
@@Gyrbae Yea, its right there on the wiki for all to see, has been for eons. I legit wanna know how it got goofed.
I came here to say the same thing. To be fair, 1960's Disney wasn't all that different personality wise.
Further support to that is his full name.
Howard Robard Hughes Jr
Robard Hughes
Robert House
Leviticus Cornwall, one of the main antagonists of Red Dead Redemption 2 is based off of several industrialists from the late 19th century such as Andrew Carnegie, Leland Stanford, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller to name a few of them.
Also, the scientist Marko Dragic is based based on Nikola Tesla, I think
Rockefeller was actually a philanthropist and gave most of his money to charity which is much different than Cornwall and the tycoons you've named
@@ashtonhamilton2218 he put his hands into every industry not for philanthropy but for a funnel like like that only benefitted him. Just like the federal reserve act.
@@legaltowter9811 I'm sure that's why he gave over half the money he made. His highest net worth was 900 million dollars he gave over 500 million to several philanthropic causes
@@ashtonhamilton2218 After destroying *A LOOOT* of lives and harshly punishing anyone who even slightly could perceived as standing in their way, the robber barons of the Gilded Age engaged in a "who's the bestest philanthropist of them all?" d*** measure competition.
It was definitely a lot more useful for society than their previous competitions (who has the largest home, who throws the most outrageous party, who has the best guests etc) but it WAS just another arena for them to showcase how rich they were and often involved dipossessing the local poor to build something elegant where they used to live.
Giving away all that money and STILL being one of the richest men alive was the whole point. The ultimate brag.
Jordan seems like exactly the sort of guy Columbo would have to catch. Like he'd show up at the band rehearsal and be sheepishly hanging out in the recording booth until Jordan noticed him and called him over, he'd show up to the birthday party and mill around and ask if all the food was vegan. And he'd ask if any food there wasn't vegan and then he'd like some of it. Man... now I just realized I want a Hitman style Columbo game.
Omg, I would kill for a Columbo game lol. The guy on youtube who does the Columbo impressions would have to be in it!
Let me guess, Gianni Matragano?
I figured a lot of the Characters like Andrew Ryan and Mr. house were supposed to be a cross between Walt Disney and Howard Hughes since both have a similar look and both were eccentric in different ways that feed into the characters behaviors
And Vincent Price
I assumed Ryan was a play in Ann Ryan the writer of Atlas Shurgged
@@kreigguardsman3355 I think we can get caught up in thinking it’s one or the other. I’m not sure about the Disney stuff, but Andrew Ryan is certainly an amalgamation of a few real world personalities.
When are we getting that "7 Times Stupid Idiots Made Stupid Maps" video Andy promised us over a year ago?
He promised to finish Red Dead Redemption 2 also... never happened.
@@davebeth2576 Have he finished Dark Souls yet?
Absolutely! Someone else, THANK YOU! 100% agree. I'm not going to lie. I check at least twice a week to see if they have yet! A little sad I know, but there are soooooooooo many, I want to see what they pick.
Was going to comment about jane somehow not having a villian counterpart in a game but now that you mentioned it Andy.
Dr Neo Cortex from Crash Bandicoot is the perfect fit for Jane's villian counterpart.🤔
jane is a hot more evil version of cortex.
At least Jane didn't make pacts with ancient evil masks.
To add to the first one: Mirror's Edge was made by DICE, one of EA's European studios, so just by nature of where it is based more removed from EA's higher-ups. Makes sense that the might try to sneak in a shot at the top brass
My favorite instance of this kinda thing is the main villain of No More Heroes 3, Damon Ricotello, based on John Riccitiello, the CEO of Unity and former CEO of EA who was the man who changed Kuroyami, the game Suda 51 and Shinji Mikami actually wanted to make into Shadows of the Damned, aka, a man Suda despises
I've would have just killed the bastard if he did that to me and my team.
Holy crap, I never realized that Mr. House was voiced by Odo from DS9 and Andrew Ryan was voiced by Quark.
Now that you've mentioned it... yeah, Mr. House does sound familiar:) But holy crap, I would've never guessed that Andrew Ryan was voiced by Armin Shimerman!
Both brilliant actors!
Quark is one if my particular favorites from Star Trek. Also Garak and Gul Dukat.
@@beowulfsrevenge4369 Garak is 100% The. Best. Steals every scene he's in and I love his relationship with Bashir. Andrew Robinson took that character and ran away with all of DS9.
@@beowulfsrevenge4369 MMM!!! Marc Alaimo was great. He actually played TWO Cardassians, though one of them was a one-off role. Gul Macet was.. despite being also a Cardassian military officer a very different character.
There's a Supermutant in NV that's voiced by Michael Dorn, AKA Worf.
Balls to put EA boss as a villain in EA game is funny. Respect for them.
I can see some aspects of Disney but given the more industrial/ technological nature of his work prior to the war and his reclusive behavior, House much more closely (and obviously) resembles Howard Hughes.
Plus Fallout already has a Disney-based character in lore
House is obviously a parody for the name Hughes. Andrew Ryan also has some heavy Howard Hughes vibes.
There's something about the natural, casual, kinda goofy humour and demeanour of the outsidexbox cast that makes me feel like I have friends
It's called parasocial relationships and can be harmful in heavy doses.
@@alastorcorvus
"Hehe, I'm in danger"
Wait, you DON'T have friends? That's sad to hear
@@alastorcorvus Yeah, streamers often fall into that when they get too conversational with chat too much. People look up to that person and want their attention and approval, even though they don't really know them :/
Still though, "aww these guys are fun" is not so bad of a feeling some days.
@@revolver265 it's not inherently bad, specially with great guys like OX, but still... It can become an unhealthy obsession.
Weird, I always thought House was moreso based off of Howard Hughes due to the type of work House did in-universe [syncs up a bit better with Hughes' work IRL] and the paintings in game.
Cool video idea though, hope you guys a do some more of these "based on real people" characters.
Yeah, House is Hughes, with a dash of Disney, and a dash of William Randolph Hearst, through Charles Foster Kane(Citizen Kane was mostly Hearst)
That's because House IS based on Howard Hughes. Which is ironic cause if they were going to liken anyone to Walt Disney from the Fallout Universe they should have gone with John-Caleb Bradberton.
@@NanoScream been a few years since I went back and played new vegas, so it's nice to know my memory of the deets hasn't slipped. And 100 percent agree on the Bradberton front, I mean they froze his head and had a theme park with Cappy everywhere Pete's sake.
house is hughes with a dash of disney, since he's decided to force new vegas to live according to his rules. just like disney and epcot
Hughes was also a big mover in Las Vegas realty with a subdivision out in the northwest of the town named after one of his ex wives.
i always thought mr house was inspired by that rich fellow howard hughes
From the direct connection to Las Vegas, his appearance in the photos, and how he looked out of the cryotube, I always thought Hughes and never considered Disney. Oh and the name HOUSE.
A little correction. Robert House, Cave Johnson, and Andrew Ryan are all pretty explicitly stated to be based off of reclusive American tycoon mogul, Howard Hughes. For Mr. House, it's even clearer, as Hughes set up shop in Vegas, where he remained for the majority of his life.
yes and they think Disney by the Frozen thing
and Joey Drew is Max Fleischer. Literally none of their examples were Disney, it is very funny
@@GiftedContractor Joey Drew is arguably a mix of Max and Walt, the artstyle of the characters is definitely Max, but his own personal story does take elements from Disney's life.
My favorite was a small time target in Watch Dogs 2 named Gene Carcani who was the exact duplicate of real life douchebag pharma bro Martin Shkreli. The mission was simply to steal his money via hacking, but he was left alive afterward, running around like an idiot. Needless to say, it felt pretty good poking a few well placed holes in him.
Shkreli is a hero who exposed a serious problem, but people like you are too simple to realize that you're doing the bidding of Big Pharma.
Was waiting for Street Fighter 2 to appear in the list, and was more shocked to see the end credits appear before it than Andy managed to be at that Le Chuck reveal! Come on, Balrog was so obviously based on Mike that they had to swap his name just before release as even the blindest lawyers would've seen through the change in name from "Mike Tyson" to "M. Bison"
Mr. House is definitely based on Howard Hughes not Walt Disney.
I believe they even say so in some of the extra material/interviews.
John Caleb Bradburton of Nuka-Cola is Walt Disney. See the giant amusement park.
I swear you guys are trolling me at this point. John Caleb Bradberton is an almgamation of John Pemberton and Caleb Bradham, respictively the inventors of Coke and Pepsi.
At what point did Disney ever produce a line of carbonated beverages?
@@SineN0mine3 3 in one person I think is better
I always thought Mr. House was based on Howard Hughes.
You thought correctly, the biggest give away is the game is about a 'New Vegas'
Ted Farro from Horizons Zero Dawn. A young genius who makes his fortune in green energy and then switches to robotics and AI. He is overly sure that his creations are infallible. So obsessed with his image that he was able to convince himself that mass murder and wiping out the entirety of human history was for the greater good so no one would find out about the mistake he made.
Sounds a lot like Elon Musk to me
Yep. He even looks and talks a lot like him, especially in Forbidden West.
I also appreciate those games' approach of hiring Lance Reddick to be as Lance Reddick as possible, because really, if you have Lance Reddick in your cast, why wouldn't you.
Trouble is, Elon's dad made his fortune with actual slavery and blood diamonds.
Big difference is that Faro actually made working AI and was a genius.
Whereas Elon is not a genius nor has he made anything resembling real artificial intelligence.
And Tesla is hardly "green", otherwise I agree.
@@RevanAlaire Really, neither did Faro - in a data point found in Thebes in HFW, he calls himself 'more of an ideas man', the implication being that he had people (like Sobeck) doing the actual work... 😁
Another nod to the achievement "See you at the party": That line was said by Arnold's character Quaid, after killing Michael Ironside's character whose name is, you guessed it, Richter.
I took for Mr. House to be more based on Howard Huges but I can see the aspects of Walt.
Now, I'm no expert, but I suspect Agent 47's poison would be vegan? It's a lot easier to mash up some nightshade berries or whatever, rather than having to raise some poisonous little critters and then.... mash those up. So you don't go against Cross's morals. Unless one of his morals was "not killing me, personally".
Any poison that can kill a vegan is vegan poison.
"To be fair I've never watched Fox News before."
Good, keep it that way. It'll rot your brain.
titanfall 2 is criminally underrated, thank you for bringing it to light a bit more
Honestly if I was the soulless CEO of a company like EA I would come to expect a villan that looks like me and embrace it. Give the "fans" what they want.
That seems what Ubisoft has done with Abestergo Entertainment. They're even both faux progressive. And I assume the emails about the game they want to make about Edward Kenway's memories are similar to what was exchanged during Valhalla's devlopment
too bad immoral capitalist CEOs aren't really known for not taking themselves too seriously. xD
You're being unfair to Mortal Kombat. They gave him a skull for a hat _and_ an evil laugh.
AND a giant, fuck-off hammer.
And the many different colored Ninjas. All original characters I might add.
You have to hand it to Shao Kahn... Not everyone could pull off that look
There hasn't been enough Evil Villain Jane recently, I approve of the outro.
Pretty sure both House and Andrew Ryan is based on Howard hughes , Devs dont even hide that as there is even picture of him standing in front of LIberty prime which is exact reference to real life photo of Howard.
It's kind of funny that this very video did a serious close-up on that very picture.
@@daviddaugherty2816 Considering that the same coment is plaguing coment section i start to think they just trolled people to get some traction here.
Turns out I’m a villain in like 20 movies and 1,000 video games. You can call me Gravity.
No your Ceece now desist
@@thetruesirreal8474 I’m going through an identity crisis. I respectfully ask you to please refer to me as Ceece whenever you are in gravity related conversations from now on.
For example: “Man, this Ceece really ruined my Destiny 2 flawless run”
Ceesce existing in the souls series please
What about Gene Carcani from Watch Dogs 2? Him raising the prices of his company’s pharmaceuticals and being scammed out of an exclusive rap album are directly based on Martin Shkreli.
Oh man, Mirror's Edge was just so fun with great music. Getting hit right in the nostalgia here.
I genuinely couldn't tell at first if that was Jared Leto or Seth Rollins in the thumbnail
There's a difference?
@@deadersurvival4716 Jared Leto (with longer hair) looks like Jesus. Seth looks like crossover between Thor and Loki from the Avengers.
@@ivoryowl I was joking, but frankly, both of them do look the same... And not like Jesus, considering Jesus was brown.
Definitely loved this list feature.
Ozzie Mandrill, one of video game's most evil Australians.
Second to Saxton Hale; who is also an Australian tycoon.
Jane's genuine laugh near the end was 🤗 This was a great list idea! Have you guys done "player characters based on real people" yet?
I couldn't stop laughing at the Neo Cortex joke at the end 😂😂😂
My question is…has a villain ever been (or will ever be) based off of Jane?
No would dare
someone needs to make this..........and give her a pet eldritch abomanation obviously.
Im doing a game development course rn so when i can i will
Coda, from The Magic Circle
Answered at 16:10 in the video
Pretty sure Rodman’s most recognizable look was that time he wore a wedding dress.
I'm pretty sure Mr. House and Andrew Ryan were based more off of Howard Hughs, not Walt Disney.
"Howard" Hughes
Andrew was based off multiple people
@@LNSLateNightSaturday thanks for the check
@@yoholup19 that makes sense, but I've always felt that Ryan was most heavily based off of Hughes since they're both eccentric inventors who were rich and yet also reclusive. But like I said, that's just my feeling.
@@OutcastWriter31 his eccentric nature was based off Hughes but his beliefs was based off aran Ryan and his looks are based off Disney
ngl that Dennis Rodman jetpack outro was absolutely incredible
Thank you for reminding me about Bob Barbas and his kick-ass boss fight and theme.
House is kinda giving me Howard Hughs vibes, but I DO see the Disney resemblance.
No, you're right. He is based off of Howard Hughes, not Walt. How they got this wrong is beyond me. It even says so on the fallout wiki article about him
@@Tsukasa829 freezing thing I think
The Quote is "see you at the party Richter", it's also relevant to his name.
Great list as always.
This is the perfect list to get an April Fools sequel featuring all the performance-captured villains that were then dropped into a laser-scanned avatar of their actors. I'm talking Kevin Spacey in COD Advanced Warfare, Kit Harington in COD Infinite Warfare, and probably a bunch of other actors in non-COD-related games, too!
The CEO of EA looks more like a villain than the actual video game villain
I always thought that Mr. House is more an homage to Howard Hughes. Same as the bioshock guy.
I thought Mr. House was based off of Howard Hughes? Even that portrait is a near copy for one of Hughes' pictures. Maybe Andrew Ryan as well.
To be fair to Bob Barbas he probably knows what makes the tides go in and out
he's doin "gods work"
"cinema's seventh best joker" Jane is always on point
"Cinema's 7th Best Joker" in reference to Jared Leto is hilarious
Shoutouts to the Final Boss of No More Heroes 3 being just the CEO of EA, who's been blamed for sabotaging Suda51's Shadows of the Damned in the past
I envy anyone that has never seen Fox news.
Cinema's 7th best Joker line caught me off guard
"Cinema's seventh best Joker", way to throw some shade Jane
Naturally there is Mike Bison from Street Fighter 2... so much of a likeness that they changed the name (from the Japanese version) when released in the US.
The irony is Tyson himself only found out about it pretty recently, and actually liked the reference
@@BeanManolo that's really cool to hear
Given what I know about EA it makes sense that a development team would base their villain on the company's CEO.
I'd mention the secret boss fight in Nier: Automata, but pretty sure the two of them probably wanted that.
I had no idea Leto was in 30 seconds to Mars and I was singing Closer to the Edge yesterday, woah
With the multitude of Warhammer 40000 video games you could use the space Ork baddie Ghazkull Mag Uruk Thraka. He is based on real former UK PM Margaret Thatcher. Ghaz was even nicknamed "The Iron Ork"
Orks based off Thatcher? How would that work?
@@bezerkoid Give'em a handbag?
Nah, Ghaz'ghul is actually liked by his followers
@@bezerkoid before it became known and loved for being grimdark, Warhammer was actually a *parody* of that sort of thing, and because it was made by Brits in the 80s they obviously had to do some political stuff
Did you know the villain in Wolfenstein was based on a real person?
:0 no way
Is it that austrian painter and best seller author whose hairstyle Andy sometimes tries to pull off?
@@Gyrbae probably. :D
@@Gyrbae the author of the worlds best seller book called "mein kamph"? Is he really? Oh shii!!!
It's truly outrageous that they modeled him after an Argentinian grandfather who surely never did anything wrong.
I’m surprised Street Fighter’s Balrog (based on Mike Tyson) didn’t make the list.
Mirror's Edge: Catalyst is my Kingdoms of Amalur, a criminally underrated game that I absolutely adore, it is legitimately a brilliant game with gold standard writing. Also it's a reboot not a sequel, you'll be confused if you go into it thinking it's a sequel.
And now we wait for that Remaster to be released on steam and for that one player who gave a shot to then commit "G.I. E was right"
Far Cry 5’s Joseph Seed seemed heavily inspired by David Koresh
Now the opposite: 7 Video Game Heroes Obviously based on Real life people
Had to rewatch Jane laughing again a couple of times, glad she confessed.
I'm still not over how surreal it was hearing Kleon from Assassin's Creed Odyssey say "Make Athens Great Again"
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.
Andrew Ryan also doubles as a lampoon on Ayn Rand. There's the similar names, they both fled the USSR with their families and they both have absolutely disastrous objectivist philosophies about free market capitalism and history being defined by great individuals.
Weird to see OX drop the ball that bad on House. It's been confirmed for ages and is well known House is based on Howard Hughes, to a T.
House is clearly Howard Hughes. Even the portrait of House you show is almost identical to one of Howard Hughes in real life.
Surely Mr House is actually based on Howard Hughes?
Mirrors edge was one of the first titles conceived after DICE were bought up by EA. I guess someone wasn't too happy with meddling from EA during development and aired their frustration in the sequel.
I think maybe all of those are based on Howard Hughes but especially Mr. House. Like I’m pretty sure that’s well documented
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.
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?
"7th best Joker" Savage. But true.
Cinema’s 7th best Joker…
I’m dying 🤣
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.
Balrog from Street Fighter,, when you have to switch names to avoid a law suit thats a pretty big clue
1:58 Kruger sounds like the guy who made announcements on the intercom system in Dishonored.
4:40 I love how Richters actor kept the accent even when switching to *actual german*. xD
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!
Imagine Andrew Wilson busting into the DICE studio yelling: You think this is funny!?
I've always seen Robert Edwin House as a reference to Big Brother from 1984.
Mirror's Edge is not the first time Electronic Arts corporates have been made the villains. In Garriot's Ultima 8, he made Electronic Arts themselves the primary villain.
Mr House is Howard Hughes! Even his robot lady and her cut companion correspond to Howards girlfriends
11:44 Are you sure it isn't Hughes?
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
I love how they made it look like Andrew in the early concepts of catalyst
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.
I thought House and the Walt Disney lookalikes named were more Howard Hughes
Umm… am I the only one who remembers that the name of Michael Ironside’s character in Total Recall was Richter? See you at the party, indeed.
