Gaming has seen some of its peaks in the past few years with some games bringing something new and revolutionary to the player. However some games have also shown us that fashion is a concept which is slightly overlooked and this has resulted in some of gaming’s most notorious fashion crimes. Here are our top 5 Fashion Crime of Gaming.
5. Will Grey (Dark Void)
While Will may be an ordinary type of Hero, his choice of outfit is not a very empowering one. He has opted to go for an all black look with a maroon t-shirt which does not allow for his heroic attributes to sport any sort of colour whatsoever. Perhaps a different colour bottom would have given him a more cutting edge look.
He may be a hero in the void, but here he's a criminal of fashion
4. Zafina (Tekken 6)
We understand that if you’ve got it, flaunt it; but this seductress has taken it a little too far. Her choice of outfit is not appropriate when you’re jumping, kicking and crawling on the floor. At times we noticed that looking up her skirt can be a little too easy. This gives off a ‘woman of the night’ vibe which is definitely a crime to gaming fashion.
That gold simply detracts from all the... oh my...
3. Dante (Dante’s Inferno)
One look at Dante and you can instantly tell that he is sporting a classic Crusader look with his armor and headgear. This look is wondrous, however his fashion crime can be seen with his choice to stitch a red cloth as a cross onto his chest. This is highly unfashionable as it means that he will have a difficult time in changing his cross and chosen colour scheme to suit future fashion trends. Clearly this limits him if he wanted to find alternate outfits. Guilty as charged.
Colour clash or coordinated chaos?
2. Splicers (Bioshock 2)
The 50’s and 60’s are regarded as a time of extreme style and evolving fashion. However the splicers of Bioshock 2 are not only deformed themselves, but they have deformed the fashion of this era. The addition of a mask to such clean-cut outfits is truly a miss in this case. They have failed to recognize that accessorizing is a very crucial part of fashion and needs to be done correctly. Torn outfits will also simply not do. We’re one minute away from calling the cops on them.
It was New Years Eve for Pete's sake, atleast TRY and dress up
1. Kratos (God of War)
Now we are all for Kratos’ super badass attitude and masculinity, but we thinking his choice of outfit requires some policing. This dream of a man seems to have taken a liking to skirts. We feel that the skirt does not expand on his masculinity but rather that it reduces it. Perhaps a great set of gothic like leather pants or torn jeans would have suited him better. Fashion police, arrest this man.
Spartan or no Spartan, that skirt is plain wrong
Thanks for checking out the Friday Feature. Have yourselves an awesome and fashionably sensible weekend.
