* In ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' Ethan Mars does this whilst looking for his sons on the player pressing the command prompt X. It first shows up in the flash black chapter "The Mall" when his son Jason wanders off carrying a red balloon [[spoiler:then wanders out the Mall into traffic and dies]]. Then the prompts for calling Shaun's name turn up elsewhere in the game and in the final chapter "The Old Warehouse" a glitch can let you interrupt other lines to have Ethan yell Shaun's name seemingly at random in the middle of sentences. Creator/PascalLangdale's somewhat odd enunciation led to a lot of memes and other jokes online, including songs and [[VideoGame/PressXToJason parody flash games]].

%%* ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'':
%%** JAYSUUUN!
%%** OverlyLongGag SHAUUUN!

VIDEO GAAAMES!
* Happens in ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet3'' quatrice.
** When Newton [[IWantMyMommy shouts for his dad]], especially during a [[DrivesLikeCrazy crazy ride]]:
--->'''Newton:''' '''[[MemeticMutation PAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!]]'''
** When Newton's mom sees her son:
--->'''Newton:''' Hello, mumsy!\\
'''Nana Pud:''' [[EmbarrassingNickname Newty!]] I might have known something to do with you!
** And finally when Newton's dad angrily scolds him:
--->'''Newton:''' I don't remember there being a strict rule...\\
'''Captain Pud:''' '''NEWTON!!!'''\\
'''Newton:''' ([[ThisIsGonnaSuck was]] [[LoudGulp mortified]])
* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey'': Expect every interaction with Deimos to either begin or end with "DEEEIIIIMOS!" as Kassandra/Alexios is perpetually pissed at them.
* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedSyndicate''[='s=] modern day storyline has a fight between Abstergo's Sigma Team and Assassins Shaun, Rebecca, and Galina. During the fight, Violet picks up a gun, intending to kill Shaun. Rebecca [[TakingTheBullet throws herself in front of him]], screaming "SHAUN!"
* In the final mission for ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedUnity'', "ÉLISE!" is about the only word Arno is capable of saying, in all varieties of whispers and shouts, as [[spoiler:he watches her die before his eyes]], unable to do anything about it.

* Parodying ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', if in Bang's storyline, if he lost against Hakumen, Litchi will call his name out like this: "Bang? Bang! BAAANG!!!" [[ButtMonkey Bang just never gets any luck]] [[YankTheDogsChain because that's when Litchi finally responds to him the way he wanted to, and he's down for the count to hear that. His other outcome if he won against Hakumen isn't any better for his crush.]]

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsIntoReverie'' has [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZeroAndTrailsToAzure Lloyd Bannings]] scream Rean's name [[spoiler:before the two groups get separated when entering the final dungeon.]] Crow also manages to pull off this trope in the same game [[spoiler:when [[EvilCounterpart Ishmelga-Rean]] attempts one last attack against Rean.]]
* The opening of the Japanese version of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel II'' has the other characters saying repeatedly the name of the protagonist, Rean. It was determined this wouldn't work well for the English-language version, so it was changed to a selection of important lines from the previous game.
** ''Cold Steel III'' gives out a more proper version of this trope when [[spoiler:Jusis screams "'''MILIIIIIUUUUUUM!!!'''" after she dies protecting Rean from the Nameless One.]]
** In ''Cold Steel IV'', [[spoiler:[[StartOfDarkness Giliath]] [[BigBad Osborne]] of all people ends up screaming "'''ISHMELGAAAAAAAAAA!!!'''" in a flashback sequence for TheReveal.]]

* In ''Neo VideoGame/{{Contra}}'', [[spoiler:after Bill Rizer and Jaguar defeat Pheromone Contra, or Lucia: "LUUUCIAAA!!!"]]

%%*** When you encounter the BonusBoss: Xe...ha...nort...? [[OhCrap Xeha...nort...]] XEHANOOOOOOORRRTT!

** Whenever a party member supports another, they usually yell the name of whenever they're supporting. However, in the case of [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Jack Sparrow]] (in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', that is), Sora, Donald, and Goofy just shout "Captain!" because they already say, "Jack!" for [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]]. However, since Jack Skellington isn't a party member in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', they ''do'' just shout "Jack!" in that game.

%%** Claire from ''[=RE2=]'' and Jake from ''[=RE6=]'': "SHERRY!".
%%** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'':
%%*** "Stars..." from Nemesis.
%%*** "JILL!" and "CARLOS!" from the main two protagonists.

*** Expect to get very used to Ashely screaming [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13woBVQw1_8 "LEEEEEOOOOOOOOOON!"]] any time she's trapped, or an enemy grabs her.
