The celebrity lookalike generator used on videogame characters
Who should play Nathan Drake? Alyx Vance? John Marston? Alan Wake? Computers have the (surprising) answers!
So what makes mine any different? I didn't decide these matches – an all-knowing, face-recognizing, database-searching, algorithm-crunching computer did! In other words, I simply went to one of those online celebrity lookalike generators (in this case,MyHeritage.com) and started uploading popular game characters.
The results were… unexpected.
