Best Video Game Character Redesigns (RunDLC)

Capcom made huge waves this week with its Devil May Cry reboot, which features a redesigned Dante. Gone is the fair-haired pretty boy fans have grown to love, replaced by a badass and battle scarred teenager who has drawn plenty of criticism.

Personally, we love the new look, and it’s just one example of a character that received a much needed makeover. Here now, are a few of our favorites.

this is a silly article..

the premise is interesting but i dont think a toon look counts.. and young solid snake compaired to old solid snake is not a redesign its an old and young snake in two time periods, its like comparing me at 36 to me at 15 years old and calling it a redesign..

do people re read and think about what they write before they publish it?

Buff10444962d ago

What, are you kidding me? Toon Link doesn't count? That's a straight up redesign of an iconic character. And Snake definitely counts.

Your point makes no sense. In that case, Dante is not a redesign at all. It's just the same old Dante when he was 17, but when he had black hair instead of white.

Godmars2904962d ago

How is toon Link a redesign? In all other cases, all other iterations of a Zelda title hes been stylized in the art form of the game. Is always recognizable *AS* Link. What's going on with Dante is the opposite, with not only his form but weapon being altered to the point its unrecognizable.

donniebaseball4962d ago

I'm not so sure I like the Dante DmC redesign.

Buff10444962d ago

I think it works. Why was the last Dante so cool, anyway?

saf1007924962d ago

he just fuckin was and everyone loved it lol. i mean i would be a bit cocky too if i knew how to throw my sword and have it come back like a boomerang haha

TheDCD4962d ago

It was the silver hair, really. New Dante looks damn emo.

Buff10444962d ago

Well it's a goth style game, right? How does a silver haired dude even fit in with it?

xTruthx4962d ago (Edited 4962d ago )

IMO new dante looks ghey(lame)

albel_nox4962d ago

MGS4 Snake looked so old and terrible I almost didn't want to play the game. Luckily I can't refuse a Metal Gear(except possibly Rising) and the character design didn't stop it from being an awesome game.

Buff10444962d ago

Yeah it was still enjoyable despite geriatric Snake.

saf1007924962d ago

was it really a character redesign? snake looks like snake in all of the metal gears. This one he is just much older because of the aging issue. This dante has almost no similarities with the old dante. Big difference if u ask me

cyberwaffles4962d ago

i actually really liked old snake and his appearance in MGS4. its the only TPS with an old player protagonist.

Nate-Dog4962d ago

How can one say and old, dying and depressive Snake is better than the character we saw in MGS and MGS2?
And MGS4 Raiden better than MGS2's? Well I'm sure others will agree with that, but turning from a realistic character confused about his life and what he's supposed to do, into a depressed and irritating cyborg-ninja isn't exactly my idea of a good character redesign.

Buff10444962d ago

I think I would rather have a cyborg ninja than the whiny guy, tho.

Nate-Dog4962d ago

Fair enough and I know probably lots of others would agree but I found him more annoying in MGS4. He just dragged down every scene and could hold of ships while drawing lightning from the ceiling. Tell me that isn't annoying!

Galaxia4962d ago

I totally agree. Old Snake almost ruined Snake for me. He was way to depressing, and was a chain smoker too. Yeah he smoked in the others but no where near the extent in MGS4.

Raiden sucked more in 4 than 2.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro41d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7241d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Profchaos41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2341d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200041d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin41d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole41d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix41d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198941d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
