In the mainstream, definitely Tomb Raider. Game was super popular back in the day, and Lara Croft was probably considered to be one of the mascots of the PlayStation, with Crash and Spyro only taking precedence since the mascots of prior consoles all starred in colorful platformers.
In terms of vidya design, I'm gonna have to say that VII, Resident Evil, and Metal Gear Solid far surpass Tomb Raider's contributions. RE popularized the survival horror genre. MGS and FF VII popularized the idea of having big cinematic productions, for better or worse.

In terms of overall cultural impact in the West, I'd agree it's probably Tomb Raider. TR was absolutely enormous in the late 90s, particularly here in the UK. Lara was legit on the level of page 3 models for a brief period of time.

In terms of specific impact on games and gaming culture I'd say FFVII. It's arguably one of the most defining RPGs ever made, certainly the most defining JRPG, and Square have been trying to capture that again for over 20 years.

FF Spirits Within came first but it was a miserable failure, considering the original TR and RE movies did decently.

Gonna have to go with Tomb Raider on this. To this day you still see people in mainstream movies bring Lara Croft up or dress like her when they want to emphasize the sexual appeal of a character.

If we're talking mainstream cultural impact I'd go Tomb Raider > Resident Evil > FF7 = MGS, if we're talking influence over gaming in general I'd do MGS (Harbinger of cutscene heavy gameplay in many games today) > FF7 (Popularized RPGs in the west and arguably was a major factor in the west's Japan weeaboo fetish) > RE (Popularized survival horror/general horror genre paving the way for Silent Hill all the way up to modern horror games like Outlast/FNAF/etc. Yes I know about Alone in the Dark.) > Tomb Raider (mainstream female protag and brought nude mods to the forefront, but the games aren't that revolutionary IMO)

RE because it's got dozens of toy lines, the most successful video game movie franchise ever, a second CG movie franchise, several mangas, mangas, and even manhuas. anyone who's played video games relatively actively for any period of time since 1996 has probably played a resident evil game
FF7 was THE weeb game, and every prson who looks back fondly on jrpgs will always remember FF7, but never anything else because a good 90% of the things attached to FF7 are trash

You're forgetting the abomination that was that Final Fantasy movie that got released in 2001.
I never watched it, I already could tell it was going to be bad, but I remember a lot of people really excited for it (it was at basically the peak of FF popularity in the west, with fanboys still fresh off the PS1 trilogy hype and riding the FFX hype train hard), and then everyone was disappointed.

The RE series probably, even though Lara was a bigger character, the RE movies were bigger than Tomb Raider's, the games built on Alone in The Dark's design and brought horror games to the fore, and it was one of the media properties that did the most towards drawing zombies back into the spotlight.
FFVII did a lot for getting JRPGs into people's homes, and was a gateway to other otaku culture, but that's still niche, and while MGS was popular, it didn't have the cultural impact of TR.

>>4686604
>The culture of modern game design and structure
Cinematic games that mix action and platforming are way more prevalent than cinematic tactical espionage action. MGS inspired stealth "sections", but overall game design, not so much.

>Lol she was shown on the U2 once back in the 90s, nude mods and now the Japs own the franchise: TR
...and movies, comics, a CCG, commercials, toys, and countless other marketing deals. Lara Croft is far more identifiable than Cloud, Solid Snake, or Chris/Jill.

Metal Gear, easily.

The modern politic landscape, most specifically the political views of men aged 18-34 were influenced by Metal Gear. For a lot of these young men it was the first piece of media that introduced them to the notion of political intrigue, conspiracy theories, revolutions, and even what would eventually become the Alt-Right. Metal Gear Solid 2 went even further with this.

It was one of the first popular games with a female protagonist. It was supporting third wave feminism and popularized the Girl Power phenomenom in the 90s to 2000s(Spice girls etc). Its impact was huge and the many people critisized the game for being to sexist.
There was also a fucking song and an exhibition "lara goes art" in Hamburg. All that plus the Film with Angelina Jolie.

Spirits Within isn't really bad by the abysmal standards of video game movies.
Taken as a mediocre sci-fi flick you can't really say it's worse than Mortal Kombat or other vidya action movies.
And it was far more influential to cinema, having pioneered CGI characters. Modern capeshit is all CGI except for the face. You will begin seeing 100% digital characters soon as old actors die off. Normalfags never cared much for Aki Ross but they will go wild over resurrected Stalone.

Why WOULDN’T you be talking about video game culture when it comes to a hypothetical question about video games? Fucking Angry Birds would probably be more we’ll known in “mainstream culture” to a bunch of soccer moms over something like Zelda, but you can’t honestly say the same thing when it comes to people who actually make and play video games.

When it comes to video game culture, FFVII is the most popular in nearly ever regard. Most memorable music with live orchestral performances. Most recognizable cosplays. Biggest cast of unforgettable characters. Inspired fuck-huge swords in countless works. And the volume of fanart/porn of Tifa alone probably dwarfs the girls in every one of those other games in OP’s image combined. There is no contest.

Gotta go with Resident Evil, not only did it popularize survivor horror games and a long running game series and a long running movie series but it also kind of revitalized zombie movies restoring them from parodies back into commentaries on the modern human condition. Zombie movies are pretty much the go to movie monster of our time and it's hard to imagine that being true without Resident Evil.

Sure, if you've been living under a rock.

Tomb Raider.
-Still well known in mainstream, and Lara continues to be popular, even IF her absolute biggest glory days are now in the past.
-Lara became a cultural icon and a sex symbol. Female videogame protagonists with actual capabilities and competence became more accepted and widespread following her success. Pre-Lara, women were usually either sidekicks, background characters, princesses that needed to be rescued, or in the case of Leisure Suit Larry and Duke Nukem, sex objects. Lara was definitely there, when the whole Girl Power-thing started. Sure, we already had Samus Aran before, but who actually knew about her gender because of the armor?
-The games spawned a moderately successful movie series. And Lara did guest spots in the Witchblade-comics.
-In videogames, modern 3rd person gameplay in an open world is mainstream precisely because Tomb Raider introduced it in such a successful way. Pre-Tomb Raider, 3rd person was very little used outside of simulators.

How is this not enough impact for you? Metal Gear is only known to gamers, and other studios aren't exactly in a hurry to copy its style. Resident Evil spawned movies too, yes, but they're complete and utter, unwatchable shit with no faithfulness to source material (fuck you Capcom for letting them to happen). Not to mention, classic survival horror is now dead. FF is just same shit year after year, the series is stale as fuck.

Either Metal Gear Solid or Resident Evil, since those games basically invented new genres (MGS invented cinematic games and RE invented Survival Horror), while TR and FF7 just brought old genres into 3D. And in the case of FF7, good game though it is, it didn't really matter all that much for the gameplay that it was 3D.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 7 15:24:13 2018 No.4698002 >>4685809 I'd say it's RE, though FFVII runs close. Survival horror is still strong in not just video games, arguably RE went beyond the medium in influence even without the movie. FFVII did that too, but not as much.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 7 15:33:58 2018 No.4698024 I wouldn't say Final Fantasy VII is as popular as the culture surrounding it is. Like people seem like the Kingdom Hearts Cloud more than they like actual Cloud.
