10 Shocking Video Game Character Redesigns

I remember being pretty annoyed about Shaundis complete redesign from the 2nd to 3rd saints row games without any explanation till the 4th came out

I can almost hear a vain in peter’s head during the Spyro entry

Will agree that Spyro's Skylanders design was a bit rough, but it did seem to get slightly tweaked over the series. I'll say he looked fairly decent by the time Academy was a thing. But yah, Remastered version is miles better :P

The rock in wwe 2k20 was the craziest in my opinion. Completely abstract from the original, great decision by 2k

Yuna's design and change in character made sense, though. The outfit she wears in FFX is her summoner garbs. She's much more serious and focused and mature in that one, because she's undertaking the hugely important task of ridding the world of a grave threat, even if only for a little while. In X-2, she has no more use for summoner garbs, because summoners aren't needed anymore. She comes more fun-loving and free spirited, because she can afford to be these things now. With the threat of Sin being removed and Yuna being able to enjoy herself without a care in the world, it only makes sense that she would do just that. Not only is it the first time in her life that she can go out and have fun, it's the first time in a fucking millenium that everyone can. I will note however, that it was a little jarring to have people adress her as Lady Yuna and show her nothing but respect and admiration when you're traipsing about chasing chocobos and collecting movies.

How about Raiden from MGS? The transition to cyborg ninja is pretty abrupt :')

I think Toon Link would've fit this list, It's a really great redesign for link, but it wasn't what people were expecting after Majora's Mask. Still Everybody loves the design Nowadays.

I was expecting the Spyro entry to just be Peter groaning for 2 minutes

Man Sonic has been through so many designs. Some good, some that become meme templates. But my personal favourites would be Yuji Uekawa's design for the Adventure games, and the Sonic 06 leaner Sonic design (ignoring how bad it looked during cutscenes, that was more so on the unfinished animations).

Luckily for Spyro, Skylanders takes place in a separate continuity so they are not the same person.

Chris from resident evil going form a regular looking human to the hulk was pretty abrupt imo

Lol the thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣 o.g. Spyro is looking at the dude like WTF???🤔

3:26 nice cameo from Simon Miller, there!

100 points to Peter for using Vitriol in a sentence.

I really love Skylanders but damn that Spyro looks nothing like it's supposed to. Fortunately there are hundreds of cooler looking characters.

Rank every single Mario kart track please

Sparkster changing his happy face from Rocket Knight Adventures to his grim look in the sequel named after him.

"Number One: Bomberman Act Zero" Me: Okay, how bad could they have-- [shows image] Me: What... did you do?!

As much as Peter loves Spyro I knew it would be on this list lol

SCALED BACK! I soiled myself at that one
