all that glitters is not gold and such
as the case for these guys
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst character redesigns in videogame
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for that list we’re
looking at the most atrocious versions
of classic characters in our favorite
video games these offenders are being
chosen for a bad depiction disrespect to
the original or just being plain crap
and it’s fireworks
number 10 Chris Redfield Resident Evil 5
– bear with us for a moment there may
not seem like there has been a drastic
change similar to Joe Valentine but it’s
easy to think that way until you look at
the original design side by side with
the redesigns however we really got to
give the spot to Resident Evil 5 what is
this the original crest had an appealing
design to him before he slowly became a
generic white guy in army quote the
biggest gripe is well his damn arms I
mean holy crap dude how big do your
biceps need to be maybe lay off the
roids bud and again he will be punching
boulders by the end of the game so who
knows
[Music]
number nine pinky two three
in retrospect doom 3 was kind of like
puberty for the franchise it was
different than what doom originally was
and it wanted to be edgy dark this
approach also affected the designs of
the various scheming Joe encounter such
as the pinky this menacing thief has
been known for charging it to players –
dealing massive damage in close combat
so how would this monstrosity
transformed from A to B orange demon
into a 3d one how did we go from vicious
teeth and panic inducing rampages to
some fleshy looking thing with
cybernetic legs it just doesn’t look
scary and it doesn’t really look like
the pinkie either number eight edward
carnby alone in the dark good why don’t
act surprised to see this on list
everyone knows this was coming up one
way or another
well maybe not because no one played the
game but anyway what made edward carnby
so appealing and is designed with how he
fit into the game’s world tying in to
the gothic atmosphere and bizarre color
schemes with the 2008 version well how
the hell happened I don’t have your
stone and fuck you anyway we got this
grimy looking guy who said some of the
dumbest lines ever to be spoken in a
video game not only does he look silly
but he sounds silly and actually sorry
I’m sorry we can’t take this seriously
I’m the light bringer I’ve no fucking
universe number seven tiny Tiger Crash
of the Titans
I really am cross with you I’m just
trying to do my job and you go and
caused all this chaos I’m sorry but I’m
gonna have to eat your face fans of the
original crash games remember this
muscular feline for being officious and
threatening minutes until you notice is
what intelligence of course this
divinity became the butt of most jokes
in later games until we hit crash of the
Titans I wish some sort of
reconciliation was possible here
Activision produced heavy redesigns of
all the characters even some parodying
celebrities like crunch impersonating
mr. t the worst of them all though was
tiny who turned into none other than
Mike Tyson the tiger tiny is supposed to
be the bane to crash his Batman but
instead we were given another
stereotypical joke that’s been done too
much for too long come on stop no please
number 6 Joanna dark perfect dark zero
who do you fight for
I’m freelance greedy we understand this
game depicts a younger Joanna but
there’s no reason to deviate from the
protagonists original look before Joanna
was a mature woman short hair and
dressed like a secret agent
she was respectable and could be
compared to the likes of James Bond
after playing this one now you’ll find
it’s not really the same Joanna dark
that you knew and loved
[Music]
it looks like the Carrington Institute
found out Kim Possible cosplayer and
would like yeah you should be a secret
agent because you know nothing says
secret agents like a woman whose bright
orange hair with highlights makes her
stand out in a crowded room like her
heads on fire yes here you
number-5 red Spencer Bionic Commando
I stopped the execution put me in prison
in the first place I love your heart
there seems to be a running theme here
in old games desperately trying to
appeal to modern audiences Bionic
Commando may not be the longest-running
franchise on this list but it’s still
fun to go back and play occasionally
series protagonist rat Spencer looks
like the embodiment of a cheesy sci-fi
movie from the 1980s and we wouldn’t
really have it any other way so why did
the 2009 remake completely drive away
that look because trends and focus
groups that’s why we’ve still got one
problem it’s all in line with what many
other games were doing giving our
protagonist dreadlocks angsty attitude
edgy style etc oh and they changed his
name to Nathan Spencer because rad was
too radical I guess now
rest in meal and number four the prince
prince of persia
the warrior within never reached our
shores and i of you’re sick you better
hope I kill as one of the oldest video
game icons to appear on this list it’s
interesting to go back and look at all
the changes in appearance our hero has
been through but like going through old
yearbook photos there’s always that one
you wish would just kind of go away
enter the warrior within a game that
strips the prince of any charisma and
replaced it with an HD dune yeah I know
get in line right if our enemy is
unarmed we offer them a shot this prince
was just trying too hard to be edgy and
violence without any personality
luckily the later years were a bit
kinder to the prince number three
Dante DMC Devil May Cry yes you can call
me Dante the demon killer how’s the nice
ring to it doing think we feel real
sorry for the fans on this one this
reboot of the classic hack and flash
series did not resonate too well with
fans especially with Dante’s brand new
design before we had a cool yet
admittedly cheesy dudewith style flare
and a bad attitude
this Dante looks kind of like if Taylor
Lautner had gone all vampire hunter in
the Twilight series you guys do seem
really nice but a more of a loner type
trust issues work alone that kind of
thing
they made both sport red trench coats
but at least the old Dante looks like
he’s ready for a fight and not coming
straight from a frat party seriously
dude
a white shirt and jeans and Mandy’s
really not winning many new people over
by insulting the old Dante
million years
number two knuckles sonic moon series
okay there fella calm down we are here
oh so obviously we can and will help
we’re a pretty big deal as evidenced
with tiny tiger big brute characters
usually mean little intelligence not
gold of the sonic franchise was a
character who was strong and intelligent
and his shortcomings usually came from
his headstrong attitude leave it to the
sonic boom series to strip down and put
knuckles in a stereotype control hey
guys rattling instead of the design that
kept with the Sonic the Hedgehog style
knuckles was beefed up and dumped down
to be part of the game’s comic relief
you can guarantee the Internet did not
let this go away spawning thousands of
memes criticized the new design Amy
knuckles go left give me a sec
hi before we unveil our top pick here if
you wonder mole inches I was getting a
medal to the president when I went to go
shake his hand I tripped and kind of
punch them you’re gonna let this no-good
beat that trash fly yeah like that
number one Bomberman Bomberman act zero
[Music]
what have we done to deserve this Palmer
man who’s always appeared as a goofy
lovable guy who just likes to blow stuff
up in straight lines he’s downright
adorable with pink shoes round hands and
a little antenna so in a questionable
effort to get grittier with the
franchise to have you turn of the
millennium husbands oft unleashed
Bomberman act zero on the world turning
our cute little Bombardier into an angry
looking Android with an oversized hand
that shoots explosive plasma balls or
some shit not only was our favorite
character changed but his world was as
well shifting from bright and cheerful
to post-apocalyptic wasteland a
Bomberman game this was not nor will it
ever be considered one officially right
