Worst redesigns in gaming

[Pandaprewmaster325]

i am kind of surprised at this inclusion of cloud strife - the first image you posted was of his redesign in the final fantasy spinoff fighting game, dissidia, which is already a pretty strong stylistic departure from cloud's original design and art direction

and for the bottom picture you posted a screenshot of the initial final fantasy vii remake trailer - a design that was not used in the game itself, as his look in that trailer was a work in progress

i forgot what kind of point i was trying to make with this

Looks the same really just new boots for dissidia and some hair coloring he did at the barber , he still has the shoulder pad and same hair style Idk whats so distinct here...

I don't know what Microsoft is thinking going forward with this design

Wait there

It appears my opinion has become a subject of controversy.

yall r just mad cuz castlevania judgement Simon is hot as fuck

The weird contours and bold/flat colors on the clothing makes him look like a toy.
And his hair looks like someone dropped a cartoon anvil on it.

Insanely bold move, fake. I gotta respect that.

okay i agree on this
i can get behind any and all kingdom hearts 3 hate. i despise that game

I don't really have a horse in this race since I'm not super invested in GG, and it's an alright design on its own, but it doesn't have nearly as much personality or pizzazz as:

At least to me. Just boring in comparison.

Less a redesign and more a shift in attitude and tone. He didn't become emo/mopey cloud until all of the spin-offs and sequels, and that is reflected in the new design.

I grabbed the first thing out of google image but its the same deal

I hate the realistic look, I picked the dissidia cloud because I dont mind that they based it off that version; but I dont like the colors, the smaller eyes, smaller hair, just the realistic look of the remake in general

Thing is, the Conan-Simon too

 

[Yithan]

I dont like Potemkin redesing, I hate the helmet, the uniform and those boots

 

[WesternYokai]

Just for the science

Tiny Tiger's redesign from Crash of the Titans is absolutely hideous. What was Radical Entertainment thinking when they decided to make him so unrecognizable?

 

[Graves Ruinwalker]

That guy doesn't come even close to what Simon Belmont went through

Tbh , It leans more into the Castlevania Chronicles design which is a nice refference . While the design has its coolness , its still not fitting with Castlevania somehow .

But i get Galerians vibes from Simon "Its not a Phase , mom " Belmont . The design would be great for an different IP that has an gothic setting too but leans more in a drastic direction instead of castlevanias more eloquent design of gothic-horror .
If someone is an indie-dev or comic-creator , TAKE THIS DESIGN APPROACH AND MAKE SOMETHING AWESOME WITH IT ! COUNT ME IN AS YOUR FIRST FAN OF IT !

I hate it

If the hair was wilder and the skin pale + heavy eye shadow like in the concept art it would've been alright

Spoiler: Gorgeous and elegant

Spoiler: Just hideous

Absolutely disgusting, what were they thinking?

The cancelled Mega Man Maverick Hunter design was pretty bad

I couldn't even get mad at this one. Feels like a straight up satire on unrecognizable redesigns, especially with his high-pitched voice.

Someone said he has Karen hair in III and I can never unsee it

Man that is ROUGH. And her character model has that early-HD uncanny valley Realdoll look
