Remember when lego games had original ideas?
Oh poor Spyro, you had a good run.
But this is Samus from the first game.
Always use official art
>>318589761
Why is old Yoshi so fucking smug
>>318590193
To be fair original Spyro looked like a goofy retard. New Spyro actually looks like a monster, at least in that artwork.
>>318589030
>>318590350
He's comparing in-game appearances, though. It's CG, but it's nearly identical to the in-game model.
>>318590193
Old Spyro looks so much better. New spyro looks like a English Bulldog got together with a tiny dragon.

>>318590031
lego island 2 was shit
lego chess is chess
legoland is based on the theme park
lego island extreme was shit
lego racers 2 was a sequel
creator harry potter is harry potter
almost every other game on that list is shit
>>318590193

The dude is just some random character in one of those Disney Infinity knockoff series, that's fucking rock bottom man.
>>318590676

H2: cardboard
H3: perfection

>>318590608
Then he failed miserably, that's not even what Samus looks like in-game.
>>318590676
This is a good example of how 'more realistic' isn't always better.
>>318590031
Literally all of the old ones are basically shovelware. The new stuff is actually pretty creative and fun, although they're getting maddeny now.
>>318590676
they had is so right at halo 3
>>318590783
>Disney Infinity knockoff
Skylanders was first..
>>318590891
It's not creative when they're all just reskinned lego star wars but with voice acting
>>318590814
I think the design improves with each iteration.
>>318590676
Halo CE Chief looks better than Halo 4 Chief

A better one would be a comparison of Prime 1 Samus vs whatever source that 2015 is from.
>>318592619
Sony stopped marketing them after the PS2 days despite still funding them
A bit weird

You used the wrong artwork for Sonic Adventure. I believe that's from Sonic Advanced. The rest seem right tho

>>318596430

Nope, this is Sonic Advance's art.
>>318596681
You've got serious problems if you're legitimately upset about this.
It's just a spoof, that doesn't remotely effect the original concepts that you love. They didn't go back and replace all of the Lovecraft books with Light Novels.

That was a pre-existing design though, not a redesign like Boom

At least X was better than boom even if it had no corresponding games.
Even if its a different canon I don't think a single sonic game follows each other up.

What in the actual fuck did they do to Hamtaro and Pikachu?
>>318590676
Halo 3 design was the perfect blend of the more complex design of Halo 2 and the simplicity of Halo CE. What the fuck is going on with Halo 4's design?
>>318602430New Pikachu makes more sense from a design perspective, since it's easier to convincingly animate him in action with his more slender body and longer limbs. I have a hard time imagining old Pikachu quickly moving around in any way that isn't rolling.

Everything in Halo 4 became over-designed, filled with greeble and detail. The art team at the then-relatively-new 343 wanted to distinguish themselves from Bungie and the result was complete Convenant redesigns, the Forerunners going from hard-edged tech with a lot of lack of detail to really, insanely-defined technology that is filled with corners and glowy bits. And Spartans that look like fucking anime designs, to the point of one of them having a unicorn horn (probably to homage Gundam Unicorn at the time).
This isn't getting into problems like the stupid new backstory for forerunners, who were made by precursors called, well, the precursors (who then got genocided by the forerunners in a temper tantrum over the 'Mantle' and the precursors ground themselves into dust to preserve themselves, which would get corrupted and become the Flood). Or the fact that despite being in cryosleep and having no real reason or logic behind it, Cortana 'updated' Chief's armor from 3 to something matching the SPARTAN-IVs in Halo 4 via nanomachines in his armor.
>>318602552
the original sonic games were never about going fast, they were about skillfully taking advantage of momentum, and precision platforming.
the moment sonic games started to be about "going fast" is the same moment they turned to dog shit.
>>318603594
I think that's Minish Cap, which technically should be after the N64 Links.
>>318603359
What are you asking? LTTP was SNES Link.
If you're talking about "between LTTP and NES" Link, there's three there:
It goes
Zelda (NES)
Zelda2 (NES)
Link's Awakening (GB)
Link's Awakening DX (GBC)
LTTP (SNES)
Minish Cap (GBA)
Ocarina of Time (N64)
Ocarina of Time (N64)
Wind Waker (GCN)
Twilight Princess (GCN/Wii)
>>318603594
Minish Cap and Four Swords/Adventures.
Minish Cap is damn good, a shame it's so short and they had to pad it out with kinstone shit.
>>318603359
That's the Minish Cap Link.
The placement of stuff in that chart is weird, though. The Oracle's Link should follow LttP and Minish Cap should follow WW, but I guess they wanted it to be more a progression of graphics than time.
>>318602430

Making the same mistake as someone upthread. Delete this.
>>318603206
Because they didn't really animate old Pikachu a lot from what I remember. He just sorta hopped around and did this slow, awkward and stubby walk. Every time they needed him to attack, it was usually stock footage, a background that didn't show ground, or he just thundershocked and didn't really need to move. Often also with hopping in the air.
By the time the new design was firmly entrenched they started giving him new moves that made him more physically active, now that I think about it.

>>318602909
Why is he wearing a RPD outfit years after Racoon City was blown up?
>>318594362
Goddammit. Why didn't they just literally copypaste the artstyle. No need to make the grass ugly like that for example. They could have kept it as a solid cool color
>>318604312

I guess it will remain a mystery forever.
>>318590031
>there was a Lego Racers 2
Why the fuck did nobody tell me
>>318604358
A mostly-solid color in 3D can lead to some depth perception problems, plus all the other graphics having textures would make it seem a bit odd. Why do you think games like Star Fox on the SNES at least used numerous shades on the ground to give it a look of depth?
>>318604665
Good point, but a disgusting texture like that just makes it look horrible. Shades of green would have at least been better.
>>318590676
>that contrast on the first one, the green pops because of the dark blacks
>as the design goes over time, it all gets mushed together in greys
>by Halo 4 hes just all one color with slightly varying shades
>>318603701
But the Sonic Adventure series had nothing to do with going fast. It was all about digging up emerald shards, edgy clones and homing attacks.
>>318604312
I forgot Jak X existed but what the fuck is that abomination at the right end?
>>318604612
It was very different, it had a story and was kind of open world and most of the different race tracks were made by putting a few fences down onto one of the different worlds
It didn't have the multi level powerup system at all, just different types of powerups you could attack other racers with
The big thing though was that your car had a health system and whenever you take damage bricks can fall off - to the point where if you're down to your chassis and get hit you have to walk until you reach the repair bay

If nothing else, Ratchet is at least one of the rare popular characters to not undergo bullshit design changes. His changes are generally so minor that they don't interfere, and in some ways he's actually improved. Why the fuck did Insomniac ruin Spyro then?
>>318605252
Cortana actually gives an explanation, but it just boils down to
>NANOMACHINES
>>318592181
At least compare the shitty modern design to the actually good classic design, the one that the classic series ended with that Sega refuses to acknowledge exists as they seem to think only stubby retarded classic Sonic exists.
>>318605510
>Why the fuck did Insomniac ruin Spyro then?
That was Activision, not Insomniac. They ruined Crash too, not that Crash wasn't always shit.
>>318605661
That looks just as short and stubby as the other classic sonic posted.
>>318605154
yes. but it was still about platforming primarily.
