The game, which follows Jack Joyce as he fights to stop the end of time, shows "X-Men" actor Shawn Ashmore in the title's lead role. However, he's not just voicing the character, you get to play as Ashmore on screen. 

A trailer, which also debuted at Gamescom, showed off how Ashmore and a few other big actors will look in the game, and they look incredbily lifelike. We had to do a double take when some of them appeared on screen.

Check them out below.

Here's Ashmore as Jack Joyce in the game's trailer.

Having big-name actors transformed into video game characters has become increasingly more popular over the past several years. 

Kevin Spacey appeared in 2014's "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" and Norman Reedus of "The Walking Dead" was set to star in a canceled "Silent Hill" reboot after appearing at the end of PS4's exclusive playable trailer, P.T.
