The Unreal tournament characters started doing bullshark testosterone in 2003
Chris Redfield from resident evil also apparently got hold of some from Epics stash
Sonic went from a weird mute hedgehog to some kind of terrible 80s "cool" stereotype

Lara Croft somehow stayed mostly consistent until the new reboot where she looks kind of like Justin Beiber

Bieber ain't a sexy lady.

The Lara Croft redesign is great. I literally laughed at her proportions in Underworld. She looks like a real person now.

[Uchip]

This is probably the best example...

well she looks more realistic sure
but its not the hilariously exaggerated videogame sex symbol people are used to

You mean how she now looks like an actual woman instead of a 12 year old boy's wet dream?

[Bukana]

Jill from RE, every new entry, new design, yuck!

[cednym]

[Feep]

Yeah, I love Lara Croft's new design. *This* is the kind of design that says "strong" to me, not some hot-pants sex-dream bullshit.

Cole's redesign from inFAMOUS is pretty well known, though I sort of liked it, too.

What he said, I'm happy she has natural beauty now.

[Dennis]

OP is crazy for including new Lara Croft.

Isn't this the sexiest damn thing?

[Setero]

You can pretty much point to any gritty reboot.

Nothing can beat this atrocity.

[MuseManMike]

Classic Dante looks like the most forgettable character ever conceived. At least the new Dante has some character -- even if that character is a bit douchey.

[Grisby]

What? Looks like Justin Bieber? That's one of Croft's best designs in years.

I still can't believe that this happened.

This.

I'm not so keen on Bomberman's "Xtreme" phase:



Edit:

Beaten to it.

[Combichristoffersen]

Dear God, why?

[shidoshi]

This thread single-handedly destroyed itself in the very first post. Lara's new character design is utterly awesome, and far better than how she used to look. Was absolutely the best move they could have done for the series.

[Dennis]

I win.

[WoodenLung]

New Lara Croft is awesome.

Anyway : Chris Redfield

its a good redesign for sure, but its not lara croft, is all im sayin

[Slamtastic]

Craziness.

Thankfully in the newest one they gave him his best look ever.

Except for the poor way UE3 handles hair. But the concept is good!

Improvement. Fuck the haters.

[sn00zer]

Still have no idea why people find the new design so offensive...looks like a rather tame progression, but Ive seen Sonic fans argue over the most inane things so I guess im the minority

[Chamber]

I expected "My name is Dante" to be in the OP. Have to agree with everyone else that new Lara Croft is pretty good.

[RoboPlato]

I agree with you. I honestly prefer the new one and don't see how it's all that different at all.

[Combichristoffersen]

its more the actual personality than the physical appearance that is horrendous

Anyway : Chris Redfield

Chris's RE5 makeover was the best thing that ever happened to him/the RE series in general.

I've always liked Chris, but let's face it, his pre-RE5 design was about as exciting as dry toast. Now he's a bodybuilding, boulder punching slice o' beefcake.

Best upgrade ever.

Jill on the other hand, now that's a travesty!

[Lulubop]

New Lara looks much improved. Bad example.

[Persona7]

The new design for Link in skyward sword is terrible.

Seriously though, while he was never a fantastic character he is just comical roided up and stupid looking now.

[Dreamer RD]

He already looked like shitty Seifer clone in 13, but this is complete garbage with some Organization XIII dude hair from KH.

[Tron 2.0]

Banjo Kazooie

I can understand the iteration of Banjo. I don't love it, but I understand how they got there.

New Kazooie looks like hot garbage in any context.

[tigerin]

Jill from RE, every new entry, new design, yuck!

she looks pretty good in revelation.

You can pretty much point to any gritty reboot.

it's like he went the opposite way of megaman.

the new sonic wears contact lens?

New Lara Croft is awesome. Anyway : Chris Redfield

he doesn't look that bad in re6 tho.

[Crewnh]

I really hate nina Williams Jill and revelaitons Jill.

[LaserBuddha]

I like the new Dante design. :/

[Tokubetsu]

Yea, I really like smokes design and as a big fan of Bionic Commando 2009, I agree. Fuck the haters. Dreaded Spencer > Ya Life. Get at me.

[ezekial45]

I'll agree that this first incarnation looks pretty bad. He looks way better now.

[Dark Schala]

You guys, these are the worst Sonic series designs:

What is this.



Also, Metal Sonic's redesign as Neo Metal Sonic in Sonic Heroes is just... wtf...



What a badass. The black cape, sleeve things, studded belt, and elongated spikes make him so cool. *eyeroll*

[Gunloc]

Seriously though, while he was never a fantastic character he is just comical roided up and stupid looking now.

Well, obviously I disagree. I only liked his personality before, but now I like the whole package.

The only crime in the RE series I see is what they've done to Jill. She's a train wreck.

Nostalgia.

Taking it out of the equation, the old Sonic looks like Mickey Mouse. Not that it's a bad thing, but it's a Mickey Mouse clone. The new Sonic was more unique, it stood out more to help identify the character and amplify the traits it was supposed to have since the first game, but couldn't because it looked like Mickey Mouse.
