What would the characters from GTA, Bully, Stronghold Crusader, and other games look like in the real world?
News
The AI fever has taken over the world — and sometimes it creates real magic. In these videos, you'll see iconic game characters gaining a new, almost lifelike form. Some of the works look incredible!
Stronghold Crusader
From the pathetic Rat to the fearsome Wolf — the iconic lords of Stronghold Crusader come to life thanks to the power of neural networks. Their pixelated faces are transformed into realistic, almost photographic portraits, rich in character, detail, and medieval atmosphere.
GTA Vice City
In this video, it’s like watching the casting for a GTA movie! Who wouldn’t want a cast like this?
GTA San Andreas
Not only is there an amazing visual likeness between avatars and their game prototypes, but their personalities are perfectly captured too.
Bully
A pretty good video by another creator that brings school days vividly to life.
Tekken 3
A fantastic take on the iconic Tekken 3 fighters, reimagined through artificial intelligence.
Skyrim
In this video, the now almost familiar characters of Skyrim come even closer to us.
And although AI still struggles with dynamic scenes, static shots sometimes look truly magical. It’s scary to imagine what the future holds!
