... do some people even understand what a REdesign is in here?

Worst has to be this:

There's a lot of "best" examples. Samus from Metroid Dread comes to mind.

Best redesign

Worst: What went wrong with Sonic in Sonic 3 redesign.

worst redesign. they no need to 'westernize' Luna that much at first place.

 

[Mozzarella]

I like the new Leon design from Resident Evil and i prefer the old Jill design from RE 2002.

 

[ShirAhava]

I hate when people bring up devil may cry none of those designs were ever good in the first place
Dante himself is just Septhiroth mixed with Vash from Trigun he's the poochy of video games

I can't even think of a good redesign art direction has gone to shit over the last 15 years

but the worst has to be this y2k edgelord fucker I went from the biggest sonic fan to fuck that shit overnight

I always hated that Zero redesign

og Zero is way cooler

Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Why he has MGS3 Snake's head?

 

[skit_data]

I didn’t like the redesign of Samus suit in Metroid Fusion. I think it looks horrible. Thankfully she gets her original Chozo suit back in the end and it looks really badass in Metroid Dread.

 

[SJRB]

Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Why he has MGS3 Snake's head?

..because Solid Snake is a clone, like literally a genetic clone of Big Boss?

 

[Ebidramon]

I'm not in the mood to link pictures (just google them, if you don't know what they look like), but I always thought that Cyborg Ninja Raiden in MGS4 was awesome "redesign" of Cyborg Ninja Gray Fox, and in MGR it became one of the coolest designed game protagonists in history.

I know but his model looked different in MGS2. It would have made sense to make it look like that.

If I knew how to post pictures, below would be battletoads, disappointed no-one went there yet!.

[SEGA_2012]

The new Battletoads design is horrible.

Saints row old crew

Saints row new crew

Not exactly a redesign tho.

 

[Radrigal]

Does this count? Feels bad

(Spiderman PS4/PS5)

 

[EverydayBeast]

I’m not attached to these characters so I appreciate the redesigns. It used to be a character was a beacon for the consoles brand, Mario carried the torch for Nintendo forever. Characters aren’t supposed to change. Microsoft wasn’t trying to change Master Chief. Look at Kratos, legendary character. That’s a good change for the best.

Best: Tekken 4 Law

Ironically, it's that "edgyness" that made me like Modern Sonic and being edgy was part of Sonic's marketing since the very beggining so. it's just that classic was edgy for 90's standards, and modern is edgy for 2000's standards.

Then again I do love Y2K anime aesthetics so I absolutely love the thick-graffiti lines, eat shitting grin and exagerated poses Uekawa gave him.
