Odd one here, because the first thought that you'd likely have is "Just a normal guy... what's so great about that?"
Well, I have no idea if this was intentional or not, but Mifune from Binary Domain looks pretty strikingly like Shintaro Katsu (the actor who played my favorite movie character of all time, Zatoichi) during the later years of his life.
Hard to find a good picture of the late-1980s Katsu to compare with the character in the game (mostly just pictures from movies, where he's in-character), so I won't provide any, but anyone who has seen what Katsu looked like near the end of his life ought to recognize the similarities. The nose, the eyes, the shape of his face, the style of his hair, and the beard.
Even the frame of his body and his general height seem to be about the same.

Just loving the look of Darksiders 2. The first game was fantastic, and this one is looking even better.
I think I posted Death's character art a long ways back, but I love the way he actually looks in-game just as much. The fidelity between concept art and in-game render is excellent. I think Darksiders is one of the best articles of proof these days that mainstream western-made games don't have to have bland, colorless visuals.

:lol:
I was thinking he reminded me of someone. Well, either way, it's a good look regardless.

Your fave Knights/Ninjas/Pirates/Samurai/Soldier in games

Postby Bluecast » Fri Mar 23, 2012 1:51 am

Odd topic and maybe destined to fail but any Knights you loved for some reason or another in games?

First of all Final Fantasy XII Judges. Powerful corrupt and assholes. The armor each distinct. All pretty intimidating....except for Mr Egg head on the right.

Knights from The Last Story.
These guys it really depends. Many are pussies. Many are dumbass pricks. Some are pretty brave. However they all look cool and intimidating. Esp how while when you run into everyone else they get knocked off their feet and yell at you. Running into them they knock you off.

I always liked their subplot with the Masamune and Riddel.
