The gaming world vividly portrays these bikers in various roles, be it as main characters, supporting characters, or even straddling both sides - good and evil. Amidst the real-life controversies of flamboyant bikers, let's take a look at the prominent faces of this community in games to learn from their styles.
Deacon John - Days Gone
When it comes to a suave motorbike rider, undoubtedly, Deacon John from the game Days Gone springs to the minds of many gamers. A survivor in the aftermath of the undead disaster, he devoted himself to friends and later embarked on a quest to find his presumed-dead wife. Unlike other characters on this list who are associated with a motorcycle in a few iconic scenes, Deacon John is intricately designed with his powerful big bike from head to toe.
In Days Gone, the motorcycle serves as the iconic and exclusive means of transportation for the main character. Deacon uses it most of the time for long-distance travels, and the bike is almost an inseparable accessory for this man. This is evident through a dedicated upgrade system for the bike, making it stronger and more efficient, rather than a temporary vehicle to be used and discarded.
Chuck Greene - Dead Rising 2
Chuck Greene is a professional biker, a motocross athlete before the zombie outbreak. His only daughter gets bitten by a zombie-infected wife, and the desperate father has to race against time to find the antidote. Every day, he must procure a dose of suppressant to keep the disease at bay in his daughter.
As a seasoned biker, Chuck not only knows how to handle a motorcycle but also has knowledge of mechanical engineering. This proves invaluable as he crafts combat machines to fend off zombies on his journey to find the cure for his daughter.
Claire Redfield - Resident Evil 2
Claire Redfield's first appearance in the Resident Evil series is an unforgettable moment for fans. She arrived in the classic biker look—a massive motorcycle and a snug, rebellious outfit, embodying the youthfulness of the character.
This iconic image remained intact when Capcom executed a fresh remake for Resident Evil 2. Although Claire doesn't touch any motorcycles throughout her subsequent journey, she remains a rebellious young biker for gamers, adorned with a bomber jacket featuring a special angel logo.
Big Boss – Metal Gear Solid 5
As the world's supposedly strongest warrior, Big Boss maneuvers through various military vehicles from helicopters to stealth bombers. However, the most memorable moment for gamers is the final scene in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. The character mounts a motorcycle, dressed in standard biker leather, ready to depart with a cigarette in hand. This suggests that beyond the life of a warrior, Big Boss seems to enjoy traveling by motorcycle.
Scattered throughout other parts of this series, Big Boss also makes appearances with a motorcycle. For instance, in a gameplay scene in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots, Big Boss is chauffeured by Eva on a large displacement bike, chasing down enemies. These details form a classic motif in the action genre that Hideo Kojima has incorporated into his games—skillful warriors are also adept at riding motorcycles.
Johnny Klebitz - Grand Theft Auto 4 DLC: The Lost and Damned
The GTA series, renowned for portraying the criminal underworld, only delved into the Biker Gang scene in its fourth installment. Street-level criminal activity has deep roots in the Western underworld, and Biker Gangs have been a prominent theme in numerous films and video games—a theme too significant for a brand like GTA to overlook.
In GTA 4's DLC: The Lost and Damned, a new central character emerged—Johnny Klebitz, a true-blue outlaw biker. He has eliminated those who dared to betray or cross him multiple times. By the story's climax, he led his motorcycle gang in an assault on a prison to eliminate his enemy, Billy. This attack showcased the magnitude of the motorcycle gang that Johnny led, evolving him into a notorious gang leader over time.
