Those pictures are still funny though!

A good portion of the examples in this thread don't belong in this thread.
That looks awesome though! Like a metal singer or whatever lol
D;
Terrible game all around really. I'm still a little bitter at the RE fan community for conning me into buying it.
And i bet people weren't as nitpicking as with KOFXIV(that looks dated but nowhere near as bad as that abomination)
This should be illegal.
A lot of the KOFXIV complaining is because it's following up on KOFXIII, which had some of the best looking sprites in any fighting game.
Meanwhile, Injustice was following up on MK9, which had stuff like this.
The standards were much lower for one than the other.

What they did to Jill was horrible, honestly, if they dont want to pay the actress dont use her much.GEEEZUS!
TWE-whatever has some of the worst designs I've seen. I hated her design.
Yep:
WUT:
There are mods to put the original Jill face on though.
That's one thing that always bothered me about Elena, is that she got those asian eyes in U3. The hell?
: To everyone who keeps telling me about Ikes "beefier" design. Telling me the origin of his new design doesn't stop it from being terrible. That's the point.
And the early screenshoots from REV she had a different face too! Now she looks younger.
If she has a different face, other voice, and paper thin characterization is she still Jill Valentine ?

I think Bayonetta with short hair looks better because her suit design is better and more detailed, less things on her head and more accessories on her neck and hands.
She also looks a bit more "normal" in that suit for some reason (her exaggerated legs/proportions)
Also, her design/character model helped gameplay too apparently.

This comment is very one point. Bayonetta looks like a monster trying to be sexy. The game is fun, but the character just looks dumb and goofy. The Aeon Flux cartoons did this way better. The character's body and movement was exaggerated, but she still reads as a human woman. Bayonetta looks like she was made by a robot or an alien that saw a drawing of a human one time.

Are you serious right now? Injustice and MK have gotten nothing but well deserved shit over their awful female models
Kof14 looks bad in comparison to kof13, but NR games look like that. You can put down your kof shield
I want to know this too, for scientific reasons......for real. A nipple has as many polygons as an arm, really strange.
The male and female characters in KOF 13 look like they were designed by different people and for different games.
KOF XIII is beautiful but something about Yuris big ass head bothered me

Are you sure?
You've not played Jake & Dexter 2?

It's impressive and obviously took a lot of work and talent, it just doesn't look good; Nishimura and Nona's art from the CVS games are way more visually appealing. The goofy samey faces and lacquer skin are so offputting.
I agree with whoever that was about Alex Ross. His work is amazing...but the characters look so creepy with the sprayed on costumes and the broken jaws and staring down their noses.
shantae (all npc's?)...
Look like a toad from bowser inside story afflicted by the blorb.

The way the arms are never attached to the bodies of all the characters in all the AKI N64 Wrestling games. Especially when the Smackdown games on the PS1 didn't have this problem

More casualties of the exodus to 3D:
From this:
To this:
Saturn 3D has an iconic artstyle all its own, and we need more games emulating it for retro nostalgia rather than staying locked to the NES/SNES.
Fight me.
I owned a Saturn. While I greatly prefer 2D sprite-based games, the Saturn was home to quite a few 3D games with charming artstyles like NiGHTS, the Panzer Dragoon series, Virtual On, Last Bronx, Burning Rangers, Die Hard Arcade, Fighters Megamix, Dark Savior, the Virtua Cop series, etc.
Final Fight Revenge isn't one of those. It's just an ugly mess.

Most models in the original Batman Arkham Asylum, but especially Commissioner Gordon
Dude is off. Looks like a sleezy landlord or something. The unreal engine can be great, but it can also create muscular monsters that are unfit for the world.

Okay, here is another one:
Final Fantasy XV's hair is made up of about 20k polygons per character, which is awesome and all...but due to the pretty poor antialiasing solution hair looks really rough and thick like wire...
They even model each eyebrow hair separately instead of using a texture for that. That is also cool...but with some characters with dark and thick eyebrows, like Gladio, this looks imo pretty bad:
Looks like two fat and hairy caterpillars are resting on his forehead. XD
They are not using a solution in a HairWorks/PureHair fashion, that is actually "just" a bunch of 3D planes carefully placed on each character head (and I say "just" since it is not that easy at all to have perfect hair planes positions in every situation...), with a texture applied on them, and I guess they can move and kind of flow in the wind depending on the weather condition, which is at the core the same solution UC4 used for example. Except that UC4 characters's hair are not dithered as hell. The filtering and shader rendering are mainly the reason of such an ugly result.
FFXV VS Uncharted 4
I call this the Alex Ross Effect.
The costumes look so realistic that they look totally ridiculous imo. Like bad cosplay.
It also doesn't hurt that Alex Ross uses his face as a reference for many of his characters. He's one of my favorite artists, but it's a hard thing to un-notice after someone tells you.
That said, it kinda fits with Injustice recycling models regardless of gender and all...
Haha, even Bruce is looking at him like something's wrong.

Third Strike Ken > all. May as well be a different character.
Pretty much every updated character model in the kingdom hearts HD remixes. They went from perfect in the original to pure shit
Example:
Original KH model replaced with garbage from 3D. Literally looks like a different person.
what? it looks exactly the same. in fact they were probably from the same original high resolution model.
edit: layering them over each other the main difference is the hd models face is slightly wider. and the lighter skin obviously.
That's not a problem with the engine.
thats obviously unfinished/untextured

The WWF and WCW wrestling games on the 64. Really fun games, but a complete eyesore. Especially compared to the Smackdown games on PS1.

Every character in Star Wars Racer look like that doesn't poop for a while
Hahaha, this is a good one. I looked up some youtube videos of that game and it is NOT as good-looking as it was in 1999.

I think it's the eyelashes. If you cover them with your hands, he looks more like a boy.

Nintendo does this shit in some Zelda games with Link or gives him cat eyes but at least his facial features are more manly to compensate (like nose, eyebrows, mouth, chin).
Here's a funny thing, this observation was made by my mom and resulted in me paying more attention to it, and I concur with her observation - men typically have longer, thicker eye lashes than women do once you remove the makeup.
Low standards sure, but a bad artstyle remains a bad artstyle no matter how worse was before.A lot of the KOFXIV complaining is because it's following up on KOFXIII, which had some of the best looking sprites in any fighting game.
Meanwhile, Injustice was following up on MK9, which had stuff like this.

Yeah...no, injustice had some hate but nothing comparable to kofxiv

Callie and Marie from Splatoon are really overdesigned, and those designs are really off-putting to boot.
