Worst character re-design ever

[QUOTE="Blackbond"]

Well why don't we wait for Capcom to make a 3D Megaman game to compete with the Sonic one on the Wii. Oh wait....There aren't any Megaman games on current gen consoels yet silly me :roll:

You can say what you will about a games character looks and art direction but the last U.S released 2D side-scroller scored a 7.7 here. Its not amazing but it ain't bad either. There is nothing on the the current consoles within the Megaman brand to compare to Sonic on Wii.

Panzer_Zwei

You want last gen? Sonic Adventure 9.2. please, do remind me what was the last Mega Man AAA game, I sure would love to know.

So how would you be grasping for straws next? as if dragging a company to defend that awful design wasn't enough.

Yes I'm grasping for straws. You claim Wii Console Standards 7.6 but clearly there is no Wii Megaman console game so how am I supposed to compare? The last Megaman game on consoles that I can remember was Megaman X Command Mission which scored a 7.2 on this website. So you go back to your past and play your 9.2 game. Because the past is all you are going to get with anything Sega unlike Capcom.

Windwaker Link was actually a better -character- than any of the other Links,as he was the only one to have expressions and emotions.Planeforger

I don't know about the 2D ones because I don't care. But Link has had expressions since OOT.

How to make a once fantastic tactical shooter generic as hell?

Re-do it for consoles.

Does anyone Remember when Tom Clancy used to actually have lots of input into the game design, and the games themselves were realistic and authentic?

Well great way to turn all of that into a simpleton Brand Name.

Way to go Ubisoft.

Ah, yes. :oops:
Still, Windwaker Link had more expressions...

This doesn't really apply, but look at this boxart for the original megaman

wow megaman got better, although there's not much accounting for boxart in those days. So, BEST character redesign ever?

notice that on top of the original mega man box its writen state of the art HIGH RESOLUTION GRAPHICS so nes did hd before the xbox 360:D

And I just love how you went to hide behind Capcom, to sugarcoat how mediocre Mega Man has been doing on consoles for so long, not better if not worse that Sonic. Hey Sonic is lackluster now, but teh Virtua Fighter is the best fighting game ever. Yep, totally related to Sonic.

That definitively is grasping for straws.

I praised Virtua Fighter earlier in this thread :|

Word yourself properly and read properly. Me hiding behind Capcom? Oh wait like you hiding behind Sega? Newsflash these are the companies making these games. Or is Capcom not making Megaman and Sega not making Sonic. I've already expressed myself in the past how Megaman isn't at the top of the gaming world. He never has and never will be. His games for the matter aren't even that amazing he is just a character I like.

Panzer I mean you go to the lengths to say that "Grey" in Model F Biometal is a spit in the face of Megaman fans everywhere when that isn't even Megaman at all, so don't talk about grapsing for straws.

So the last Sonic scored 7.6 "Good", then I guess Sonic is doing good too. What a surprise. :|

Thanks for bringing Sonic, I was getting scared.

Well of cours Sonic is doing good. Haven't you played his last game on the Wii? As of recent its only that other one that really sucks.

i realize that the topic has diverged from the generic nature of master chief, so i almost feel guilty bringing it up again, but i have to ask.... why is having master chief semi-generic a bad thing? As another poster referenced earlier in this thread the idea is too involve the player and help the player connect with the person he is controlling. MC is like a stormtropper, they all look a like, but he is on a quest to kill as many aliens as possible. Its a nice character design, but the beauty is that he could be you or i, just another soldier out for glory/greatness/survival/whatever. i think a generic badass character design was the best possible design and part of halo's draw. You don't associate MC with a face, so it draws people in.

Also, The Freeman downgrade is epic. I always thought hl was cool, but can you imagine how badass it could have been?

That dude was rugged to the max.

[QUOTE="Slyprince"]

The only major games that have used "power armor" are metriod, megaman, and halo.

And Fallout, of course. ;)

And StarCraft.

This one is great

From a whinny annoying Evangelion (so I'm told) rip-off

to:

The pilot of the Vic Viper, although undeservingly.

I made the Shinobi post as an obvious joke and then somebody had to go and diss the original game itself which rocked hard. :x

I totally agree with the person who posted the Guybrush Threepwood thing. I hated how they made him look like a...well lets's just say how they made him look so stupid compared to the original design.

I hated the Shinobi PS2 game not because it was on PS2 and not because the character design was bad (except for the stupid scarf) but the gameplay was repetitive and boring IMO. I guess I will give it another whirl.

Agreed, People only bash halo becouse its popular, I did, until I played it. I was then blinded by the ownage

supras989

really. prove it. Even try proving MC doesent look generic.

And if you bothered to scroll down one more post I doubt you would be even making such rash assumptions.

bravo.

I was the exact opposite of you :o before I played Halo, I thought it was a great game because it so many people said it was the greatese FPS ever, then I played it, and lets just say I never finish it and will never play it ever again

/\ Snake is simply older.

Still looks badass, and bears a killer mo.

As for MC - looks o.k. but honestly pretty generic.

Ive gotta think of some bad re-designs, when devs have decided to make characters look more 'badass'.

RAINBOW 6! (must get some pics)

slothboyadvance

Ok please explain to me how snak does not look generic

Hell look at Kurt Russle, then Look at Snake or Big Boss.

the only other fps with power armor I can think of is Metroid Prime

That doesnt seem generic to me.

Because Samus is a woman.

The only thing generic about women in video games now-a-days is their double D breast size (see DOA).

And their Americanized social Independence and hate of men. See Tomb Raider for instance, Lara was assertive, had a firm voice, but was flirty as well as being competitive. See Tomb Raider Anniversary, she is one year off a school girl, she hates men, she has bouncing boobs. Before she looked wise and cautious, and now she is young an naive.

At least the update was worthy anyway though.

Ohh... I'm gonna say Leon S. Kenedy from Resident Evil. He went from being a rookie cop to a government agent with a **** emo hairstyle. Casualised big style.

Clothes were an improvement, but the hair was unforgivable.
