History UnintentionalUncannyValley / VideoGames

* NoMoreHeroes2 has Charlie Mcdonald's cheerleaders. They all look alike. All 26 of them. Also, on a side note, there's a store in Pizza Batt tower that's actually called "Uncanny Valley".

* The Ghasts in Minecraft make a sound that sounds ALMOST like babies. That "almost" aspect however makes them horrifying, especially when there are several all making that same sound. Thus if there is a "sound" version to Uncanny Valley... these creatures make it.

* The Nintendo DS game {{Brain Age}} has the floating head of Ryuta Kawashima. YMMV, but here's [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nintendo-3ds-brain-age_170.jpg the image]]

* This trope is among one of the [[SoBadItsHorrible many many problems]] with LimboOfTheLost. The normal people end up looking far scarier than the ghoulish ones due to creepy Poser models and jerky animation.

* The Nintendo DS game {{Brain Age}} has the floating head of Ryuta Kawashima.

*** The Resign Elves in ''DragonAgeII'', and most likely intentionally. Their eyes are too big for their oddly shaped heads, for one.

* Used in {{X-Wing}} on the face of the medical droid, during the medical-treatment scene.

This explains why they say not to let kids with photosynthesive epilepsy play VideoGames

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3x-Jfyap7M&fmt=18 this early look at the Dance Dance Revolution Wii game is very, very, creepy.]]

* ''New International TrackAndField'' contains some hideous SuperDeformed characters as contestants. All look pretty dreadful, but the worst ones are the characters from other Konami games with a more serious feel. [[https://www.newtrackandfield.com/images/characters/simon-belmont.png?1210177782 Simon Belmont]] looks passable, but scary. [[https://www.newtrackandfield.com/images/characters/snake.png?1210177782 Solid Snake]], with a head drawn as if for a semi-realistic anime and a tiny body, looks very scary. But the absolute nadir of terror has to be [[https://www.newtrackandfield.com/images/characters/pyramid_head.png?1210177782 Little Pyramid Head]], who is actually scarier than the real thing. What were they ''thinking''.
** [[EverybodysDeadDave The links are dead, Dave]].

** Speaking of Zelda, Link's [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Elegy_of_Emptiness_Link_374.jpeg default form Elegy of Emptiness statue]] in TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask. It seems to be an effigy of ShigeruMiyamoto dressed as Link, but was likely [[NightmareFuel much creepier than intended.]] So creepy, it represents the EldritchAbomination that is BEN in the ARG BenDrowned.\

* ''Main/ClockTower 3'' often has this happen, although it looks a ''little'' more like a somewhat-stylized PS2 game when it's moving. A LetsPlay of it on SomethingAwful pretty much makes the game seem a lot more Uncanny then it actually does until the FMV endings. The Dark Id probably took screenshots at the [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/ClockTower3/Update%206/29-piano28.jpg worst (or best) possible moments]] to make the characters seem a lot more uncanny. (Although this sometimes may result in it being funny, such as this shot of Dennis where his [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/ClockTower3/Update%2010/5-ginger4.jpg mouth is unbelievably round]], and this shot where [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/ClockTower3/Update%2010/21-ginger30.jpg his eyes seem to go somewhere else]].

* Initial D 4 had a major change to its presentation; for the first time ever, Legend of the Streets would not only have voicework, but the characters in the pre- and post-race scenes would be animated. Since the franchise belongs to Sega...y'know, the company that ''pioneered'' 3D graphics in arcade games, and has refined the process over many years to create amazingly smooth, lifelike human characters...you'd think that they'd make the characters in 3D, right? Especially sinces this is a 3D game, and more so for the opportunity to make original clothing, poses, gestures, etc. instead of having to rehash the same manga rips endlessly. Unfortunately what we got instead was the same manga rips, but ''very'' crudely animated; basically the same technique used for those Get Your War On videos. They look like garishly painted animatronic puppets.
