First-person games with real actors

first person games real actors

This Thursday (19) during the Xbox Developer Direct 2024, a Xbox e Machine Games managed to surprise viewers by showing the gameplay of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Very much because Harrison Ford will be Indy's face in the game, on the other hand, the game will be in first person. There are also those who complained about the whole thing, about having Ford's face but playing in first person.

Despite this, the Machine Games has made it clear that we will see the character's iconic silhouette and face in cutscenes and moments of traversal during the game, but that doesn't seem to have been enough for players.

So we've decided to list some first-person games with real actors as the protagonists, and we're sure you'll be surprised.

5 first-person games with real actors

That said, let's take a look at the five first-person games with real actors we've chosen to list below:

GoldenEye 007

Launched in 1997 exclusively for Nintendo 64 and developed by Rare, GoldenEye 007 is the game from the movie of the same name that puts us in the shoes of James Bond, played by Pierce BrosnanDuring Soviet times in 1986, MI6 discovered a secret weapons facility at the Byelomorye reservoir.

Despite being an old game at the time Pierce Brosnan gave his image for the face of James Bond in the game. Later, in 2010, GoldenEye 007 received a version with the subtitle "Reloaded", which arrived for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

GoldenEye 007 Reloaded was treated at the time as a remake of the original game and a reimagining of the movie of the same name. This time, Daniel Craig gave his face to the character, since he was Bond's current interpreter in theaters.

007: Quantum of Solace

Still on the subject of James Bond, this may be a slightly controversial game, as there are two versions, but 007: Quantum of Solace is another game where you play in first person with a real actor.

Although the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo 3DS versions were in third person, the new generation editions at the time (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PC) were in first person, even with the face of Daniel Craig in the character. You could only see the face of Daniel Craig while using a cover, or during cutscenes.
