Just think of a video game villain that would qualify to be the Antichrist.

For example, I think of Goldman from The House of the Dead series. If turning the populace into zombies wasn't enough, he plans on using the nuclear missiles on the world.

That's just as bad as anyone else who wants to nuke people. No game will ever get close to representing the antichrist because there would be an uproar.

In Final Fantasy Tactics St. Ajora was basically an evil Christ everyone confused for a benevolent Christ-like figure.

The final boss in God Hand (forgot his damn name), is a demon, so he's hellish, possibly the antichrist. Also, Doom 3, anybody? Cyberdemon?

Aww, I was hoping this would be a crazed thread about some game being a secret Satanic plot to turn the world's youth into devil worshiping mind slaves.

The AntiChrist is supposed to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Someone people look up to to save them and whatnot.

Being a really bad guy from Hell isn't anything like the AntiChrist.

I don't know specifically about the Antichrist, but Grandia II has some damn anti-church themes going on with the possibility of an antichrist figure. Read the spoiler if you want to see why I bring up this game.

@N7: I think the human Alex Mercer from Prototype is a possibility. One thing for sure is that he is charismatic on Karen Parker and manipulates younger sister Dana into giving him information. Everybody at Gentek respects him except for Raymond McMullen and Blackwatch. Upon being cornered by the latter, Alex tries to cause the end of the world by unleashing the Blacklight virus, resulting in the deaths of many people, before he dies by the team. Imagine if he becomes infected like James Heller, he would infect some citizens and assemble an army of them to spread the virus all over the world.

Satan is pretty close to the Antichrist, probably even worse (biblically speaking) and he's in tons of games... like Scribblenauts.

@N7: You know, just like in The Third Antichrist documentary, there are three antichrists in The House of the Dead series: Dr. Curien, Goldman, and the Mystery Man.

Clicked on this because I hoped it would be about a theoretical video-game adaptation of the Lars Von Trier film. Alas, not the case.

Forget a game with an AntiChrist villain. Name me a game in which you the player are the AntiChrist! I'm talking a game where your given objective is to lead the masses down a beautiful path of self-destruction. The whole point being to subtly convince them, they being any community (one town, entire damn planet, whatever), to sow the seeds of their own damnation without even realizing it. Give me that game! I'll play it.

Also for the fact that he is quite possibly one of the most powerful characters in fiction also counts too.

"Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the Antichrist." (2 John 1:7)

The Antichrist is literally someone who doesn't believe in god. That's it. The one who looks like a lamb and talks like a dragon is referred to as a false prophet. And the beast is literally a monster. Three separate entities which over time have become muddled.

I am no expert but I am sure the Antichrist is the son of Satan.  I might be wrong, but I think he represents the opposite from Christ.

As was mentioned he is supposed to be a wolf in sheep's clothing i.e. appears as a Saviour to get a mass following.  But again I am no expert.  Just remember watching a tv prog recently about it.

The Antichrist is anyone who is against Christ, and does not hold him in their heart.


Going by what the Bible says, anyhow. The spawn of Satan/destroyer of worlds that brings about Armageddon didn't get tacked on until much, much later.

So to answer the thread's question, a videogame Antichrist would be any self-affirmed atheist.

If anyone here pops up a character that is visibly evil in any way, then they are wrong. The Anti-Christ will APPEAR as Christ himself, to save those that follow him, but in his wake damn them from eternity. Think of a Demon taking on a benevolent form to create a church, and in this church he sways people to him through miracles. But truthfully, through those miracles, damns their souls without them realizing it, by making them doing things that are not truly holy.

Read "The Black Road" in the Diablo Series, Kabraxis is the Anti-Christ imho. So is his "minion," Cholik.
