Too tall.

Spoiler

Awesome aside from that though.

 

[SystemBug]

honestly new Dante. Old Dante was some animu emo looking garbage

New one actually looks like a real person and has a much better hair style.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

Iconic for sure, but...

There's something very charming about his

Spoiler

swole

Boom design.

 

[foxuzamaki]

That 2nd one is still considered classic and he has been redesigned more than that.

 

[Tom Nook]

 

[foxuzamaki]

Good.

Great.

Fantastic.


Bonus

I would switch great and fantastic imo

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

I 100% believe the first post is being sarcastic.

All my ideas were taken. Garou Terry and Ryu's new alt which should have just been the redesign.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Can I post the exact opposite: an awful re-design (IMHO).

1998

Nowadays (in Skylanders)

Spyro just looks weird now.

Interesting, did they do a redesign of his original skylander look? I remember it looking alot worse.

 

[MrBadger]

Pit from Kid Icarus.

Among other great redesigns

 

[nOoblet16]

Uncle Dante from DMC4 is best Dante..you'll saying otherwise are wrong.

 

[Rean]

Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)

Right answer, wrong redesign.

REmake Jill (and her RE3 version) is seriously one of the best character designs in gaming. I guess I'm a fan of RE designs in general - but Leon and younger Jill are top tier. Chris fared much better than Jill in RE5, though. Although her RE5 self is still leagues above her Revelations design.

Don't provoke them or they'll never leave you alone.

 

[koryuken]

Dante from Devil May Cry to DmC.

Went from alright to my favorite character design in all of gaming. What a badass

Pretty much the opposite for me.

FUCK YOU!!!

 

[papertoonz]

Uncle Dante from DMC4 is best Dante..you'll saying otherwise are wrong.

DMC4 Dante is good but the best Dante is DMC2 Dante

 

[wingedarcher7]

Pit from Kid Icarus.

Yup, he even had a change in design going from his NES game to Brawl. It wasn't as big as the change from Brawl to Uprising, but you can tell that they absolutely went with the Uprising design in Smash 4. Pit is easily one of my favorite designed characters and one of my favorite characters ever.

But don't forget about his look from Captain N!

Impa, from the Legend of Zelda games

Went from old granny

to someone that could pass as a Platinum character

In all fairness, these are two different Impas down the family line so it makes sense for them to look this different. The way they suddenly twisted the norm to make her a younger, more agile fighter with a huge sword was ridiculous.

 

[sn00zer]

Lara Croft:

As much as I do not like the new Tomb Raider, they nailed that design.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

DMC4 Dante is good but the best Dante is DMC2 Dante

Original Dante gets progressively cooler looking as he gets older.

2 > 4 > 1 > 3, design wise anyway. This is disregarding the games each incarnation features in.

yeah this is why SS Impa is the best Impa

it uses both version of Impa really well and both have great designs

 

[foxuzamaki]

Indeed

Pit from Kid Icarus.

Nice one. Sakurai really did good to Pit.

 

[Bowlie]

Marth has come a long way:

 

[Razmos]

The Hyrule Warriors designs for the main characters (Link, Zelda, Impa and Ganondorf) are all fantastic.

 

[Wanderer5]

I came here to post this, glad someone did!

The Ys 7 design is simply the best.

Ys VIII will be an improvement over Celceta's design, at least.

Is there a good shot of his design in VIII? I haven't kept in track with the game for a while heh, but there doesn't seem to be little to nothing beside the trailer.

 

[Sinatar]

No, in BG2 she was a Fighter/Druid. She could wear plate.

If you put platemail on Jahera you deserve to have your hard drive formatted.

 

[Dangansona]

Fuck no.

Fat Pikachu FTW.

.

I'm also not sure that I prefer new Pit to original Pit.

 

[Symphonia]

Dante from Devil May Cry to DmC.

Damn straight.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

I think it was more based off the younger, more agile OoT Impa design.

 

[Noray]

Best. What a badass.

 

[mrmickfran]

Still the best Zelda design.

 

[XAMOEL_ART]

TREMOR (MKX) and AMY ROSE in sonic adventure.

 

[Red Hood]

Good.

Great.

Fantastic.


Bonus

I like the design in SS much more than HW, and something tells me I'm not alone.

 

[AdaWong]

Started from the bottom
Now she here

Ain't no better redesign that the bitch in the red dress'.

 

[eso76]

to a redesign so good, it took him from relative obscurity to getting so popular that he got a sequel using said design.

well, tbh you picked some really bad art for the original design.

this is more like it.
Wouldn't call the new Strider a redesign, but it's a very good update

 

[MrCunningham]

Nathan "Rad" Spencer, Bionic Commando NES:

Re-Armed 2:

Tracksuit, porno stache, and aviators. This is one of my personal favorite redesigns because it is just so out there. It's such a "fuck it" design that I love it.

 

[Jawmuncher]

My favorite is still Bomberman Zero. Judge all you want but I like him.
Was a really cool spin on the family friendly image. Shame it only stuck around for one game.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I'm not sure what they do in the actual games to create this effect, BJ also feels like he's a ridiculously huge guy compared to everyone. Maybe its the occasional comments about thing like certain clothing might not fit him or other comments early in the game, but it persists the whole way through the game. Its not something I feel when playing as Master Chief, unless they put right next to a human. Maybe the camera is really high up compared to normal, or the fact that he occasionally use brute force to get out of bad situations. Machine Games really did a great job across the board with Wolfenstein.

It wasn't just the visuals, it was everything about The New Order's representation. The voice actor was absolutely perfect. His writing was impeccable, as a meathead with a heart of gold. They literally could not have done a better job bringing the character into the current generation.

Wow, sounds amazing.
I cant wait to play it when i have more time.

How has no one posted the correct answer yet?

Every redesign in that game was perfect. And the animations were top notch. Next level games are amazing and im sad they are being forced to create the mediocre visuals of federation force.

 

[TheDinoman]

Another way to look at things: Compare what he looks like in Smash 4...

...to what he looks like in Brawl as an assist trophy:

Yeeeesh.

[paragonpro]

Dante from Devil May Cry to DmC.

Went from alright to my favorite character design in all of gaming. What a badass

And the first strike hits the heart of the hornets nest...good luck.

 

[TwoDurans]

Monkey Island has been going up and down for awhile but I think The Curse Guybrush was a great redesign

"I wanna be a pirate"

 

[Crisium]

In addition, Palutena from KI to NES:

 

[Warxard]

SUPER!!!!! SHINOBI!!!!!

 

[Nodnol]

RE4 Leon was a massive downgrade on RE2 Leon IMO. Rookie cop > cocky government agent.

REmake Wesker was the best Wesker. I don't mind RE5 Wesker from a design point of view, but by then RE was so far gone it just became...weird.

Also, Baldur's Gate 2 Jaheira > Baldur's Gate Jaheira.

He was less cocky and more chill. Las Plagas and chill.

Now the RE6 versions of everyone was questionable, characterization-wise.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Las Plagas and chill.

20 minutes into las plagas and chill and he gives you this look

 

[FunkyDealer]

I would hope you're not, this is the internet after all, and it's an outstanding design.

 

[Unicorn]

Yes.

Also, slim clefairy.

Noob Saibot was a great vote.


Worst redesign is Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal. TM2 Sweet Tooth is top tier!

 

[twobear]

from twink supreme to daddy. chris obviously set out to move up the gay scene pecking order and he accomplished it with aplomb.

 

[Shifu-Sushi]

Terry in Garou.
