Hey everyone!
Welcome to Top 10 Gaming.
The channel where we dive into lists about everything and anything video game related.
And today definitely falls into that anything-related category – we’re taking a look at the
top 10 video game cosplays; costumes that are inspired by some of the most memorable
and charismatic characters to grace your consoles.
Let’s jump in.
10 Ann - Persona 5 Let’s start this list off with some sexy
Persona 5 cosplay featuring cosplayer Shirogane-sama, dressed up as Ann.
While Ann’s red zip up suit may not be the most difficult costume to craft, that mask
is definitely a notable feat.
Fun fact, Ann’s character in Persona wears red tights because she doesn’t care about
standing out, and is a show of how she’s given up trying to appease to Japanese society.
Neat.
9 Dovahkiin from Skyrim – Leobane Cosplay Skyrim was a huge success for the Elder Scroll
franchise, and opened up the series to a ton of new gamers who joined in on the Dragonborn
fun.
So naturally there’s a lot of Dovahkiin cosplay out there.
But cosplayer Leobane stands out of the crowd with his quite accurate costume, portraying
the Dovahkiin that appeared in all of the game’s marketing.
And those muscles of his are definitely help sell the look, too.
8 Bubble Nurse silent hill – Lila Hime What would this list be without a little bit
of terror?
Cosplay can be terrifying as fuck too, friends.
As we see here with Lila Hime’s cosplay of the Bubble Nurse from Silent Hill.
Look at that detail!
Yep.
Wouldn’t want to cross paths with her in real life.
Lila also does many other cosplays that are much less heart stopping, including the likes
of a duo outfit as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
7 Booker and Elizabeth – Sunji and Frosel BioShock may not be a game franchise making
any recent splashes, but fans of the series still adore it greatly, so it should come
as no surprise why these two cosplayers are as popular as they are.
Meet Sunji and Frosel – whose names I may be wildly mispronouncing and am forever apologetic
for – they’ve put together the perfect Booker and Elizabeth cosplay from Bioshock
Infinite.
The two of them also have a ton of other characters that they’ve cosplayed individually as in
the past, including the likes of Starlord from Guardians of the Galaxy.
6 Caitlyn from League of Legends – Ivy Cosplay Ivy Cosplay, also known as Ivette, has many
a portrayal that’ll blow your mind.
She does an awesome Wonder Woman, an amazing Princess Leia, but, her League of Legends
cosplay is phenomenal.
With an extreme attention to detail, she manages to pull off Caitlyn’s look to a tee , and
looks damn good while doing it.
5 Lara Croft During 2015, a team consisting of 2 incredibly
talented cosplayers and photographers travelled over a collective 30,000 miles to get to Iceland
and create this stunning photograph project.
While there’s a lot of notable outfits here, the Lara Croft cosplay by Meagan Marie is
outstanding, giving us the more recent contemporary version of the Tomb Raider from the franchise’s
recent successful hits.
Look at the detail on that bow!
4 Kratos from God of War A man named Troy Schram put together this
Kratos outfit, inspired by the new God of War game set to be released this year on PS4.
Kratos has evolved into a father this time around, and is sporting a brand new look that
Schram recreated with his costume built by hand.
According to a Kotaku Cosplay interview, Schram says that putting together the leather weaved
shoulder pads was a, I quote, “massive time consuming pain in the ass.”
3 World of Warcraft Cosplay extends much further than die hard
fans dressing up at conventions.
There’s a lot of professional cosplayers out there doing some really impressive stuff,
and Henchmen Studios is one of those groups.
Working alongside Blizzard, they’ve put together some real show stealing portrayals,
but the project they collaborated on for PAX West led to the creation of some out of this
universe World of War Craft cosplays.
Apparently the costumes and builds took ten people a month to complete, and required hand
sculpting armour casts before creating the final pieces with urethane resin, epoxy and
fiberglass.
2 Tracer from Overwatch Blizzard’s Overwatch is undoubtly one of
the most popular MMO games out there with no sign of settling down anytime soon, with
characters that are quickly becoming iconic.
One of those popular fan favourites is Tracer, who made a splash outside of the game when
Blizzard released a comic revealing she had a girlfriend.
Yay representation!
So it’s no surprise that there’s a lot of cosplayers out there dressing up as Tracer,
including this spot on portrayal by Russian cosplayer Hoteshi, whose attention to detail
goes right down to the proper Union Jack flag on Tracer’s jacket.
1 Nintendo Switch Ending off this list with a bit of comedic
genius, let’s take a look at a man named Matt who combined a love for video games with
a wonderful horror twist for a Halloween costume.
He’s dressed as a Nintendo Switch, a console that’s really been proving it’s worth
this past year with an arsenal of impressive games.
But his switch has a twist.
And we’re not talking about how his screen lights up.
Just like a Switch, you can disconnect the Joy Con.
And when you do, well, it’s doesn’t get any better than that, does it?
Plus he built it entirely himself.
There we have it friends!
