I guess I'd buy that. Dark Knight Returns would have been out around that time too. It also has a dystopian vibe.The story is that director Shimizu was in America during the late 80's and got influenced by the Tim Burton movie (which does have a dystopian look to it).
He also bought a bunch of Batman comics, so it's possible they could've stumbled into Dredd.

Isn't russians wearing jogging suits a stereotype in itself?
Its a general Slav stereotype that is not exclusive to Russians.
This actor was actually contacted by Rockstar Games who wanted to cast him in GTA IV, but he turned the role down.Niko's design and likeness from GTAIV is straight-up lifted from the bad guy from the movie Behind Enemy Lines:

We aren’t weird for thinking it was Ellen Page, so it’s okay. I thought so too. She bore a striking resemblance to her. When I found out she wasn’t, I audibly said something like, “ah yeah that’s bullshit lol.”Weird. I assumed it was based on her until I was told it wasn't. To me, there's nothing vague about it.
This one is the most blatant one here, I feel. Characters like Snake eventually transitioned character-wise from their inspiration, but York is just straight up a slightly hammier Coop. IIRC, in early versions of the game, York even looked just like Coop,but they changed it (as well as the Sheriff's look).
