The last one is unnecessarily bad but ngl I thought the first one was a shrimp with a scorpion stinger for a good 5 seconds
Worst Redesigns. -
- Thread starter deermeat
- Start date
Who at EA thought it was a good idea to make Burnout into an open world racing game?
Oh sweet I can add to this!
Furbys were redesigned a while ago to try and make people buy them again, because nostalgia has ruled the collective media for a while now.
These fuckers have digital eyes now!!
And then they made "Furby Connect", because toys that connect to apps or bluetooth is necessary.
The classic, yet creepy, original. Although I will admit now as I've gotten older I've found myself wanting one for collector's sake now. I wish I still kept mine when I was a kid.

Looks like orange juice gained weight. Too much space.
It's weird how you didn't bring HIM up.
Well not all of the redesigns were bad.

God, that's hideous. Why did they give him teeth?
His 3D Pac Man World design is leagues better.
Man Pacman World 2 was the shit, I would say Pacman World 3 is the best game out of all the trilogy but Pacman World 2 had a way better villain. (He is probably the most badass Pacman villain even if his name is "Spooky")
Anyways talking about Pacman World and it's villains, does anyone remember Toc-Man? The robot clone of Pacman that was built by a lonely ghost that wanted to be liked (without realizing that ghosts hate/fear Pacman) you know that one.
He had a pretty shitty redesign in Pac-Man World Rally but it was still somewhat close to the original design.
But they fucking massacred my boy in Pacman World 3

Little reminder that there's a Best Redesign thread as well. I like how this is getting love as well.

If you're familiar with EA Sports games, they would share the same branding on a yearly basis.
Example: here's their title template from 2005 to 2013.
Their template for their sports game for '21 are just images plastered next to each other.
That just looks lazy, especially from a million dollar company.

If you think of what many Democratic presidents have done since his time, Nixon wasn't that bad at all.
I was saying that since Nixon, the Republican Party lost their way.
The PlayStation 3. Now THIS one is a tricky one.
On the one hand, the original design was bulky and prone to hardware failure. But, I like the overall aesthetic and built in backwards compatibility. (With certain models. It was removed for price reductions.)
I like how smaller and lighter this model is. And the use for buttons for power and eject. But the lack of BC hurts. And it lacks personality.
This is just plain awful. One of the worst console redesigns I've seen yet. Disc slide tray sounds cheap, buttons are smaller, it can't even sit evenly. It wobbles on one side.

It reminds me of Michael Bay Transformers.
To add to this thread Xenosaga has a weird bad redesign followed by a great redesign.
The first game had very prominent anime style:
Followed by the second game bad redesign that tried to be more realistic and gave everyone narrow eyes and just looked off:
The third game blended the anime design and the real design and looked best:
The designs and logos for The Sims 4, and it's Expansions/Game Packs/Stuff Packs/Kits/DLC/etc., are all massive downgrades in general, compared to the previous Sims games. As an example, here's the game covers for the various Pet-related Expansion Packs in the series:
And here's another example, with the University-themed Expansion Pack covers:
Also, notice how the subtitle for each Expansion Pack. i.e. "Pets", had it's own unique font for TS1, TS2, and TS3, but EA chose to use just one font for their Expansions for TS4, presumably out of laziness, or being cheap.
Not to mention the original game cover for The Sims 4 base game was changed, and the original one was already lackluster to begin with, as shown below:
Original Cover:
And the Current Cover:
Notice how the first TS4 cover doesn't have children on it, and the new cover doesn't have elders on it either. Then again, given how TS4's devs pushed for the Young Adult/Adult life stage gameplay, while making the other stages severely lacking, i.e. Teens being the same height as Adults, them changing the game cover like that was inevitable.

The same font lacks personality. Like it all blends together.
Game Boy Advance from SP to Micro.
Ugly.
I think it was made to look like a Game and Watch? Still looks like shit though.
Microsoft Office going from Times New Roman as the default font to Calibri.
Remember when EA made quality, arcade sports titles like NBA Street, SSX and Def Jam?
Then EA decided to go corporate during the 7th generation and just abandon any risk or sense of quality with later entries?
Yeah. EA Sports Freestyle didn't quite catch on.
The Rise and Fall of EA Sports Big, as Told by the Creator of SSX
After the success of SSX, other likeminded extreme sports games like Cranked failed to come to fruition.

I remembered back then, someone made a mock avatar of the EA Sports BIG logo, by making it EA Sucks BIG instead.
When did EA lose their pedigree as a reliable game developer? I thought it was when they implemented Ultimate Team.
Niche game, who remembers Def Jam Vendetta and Fight for NY?
Basically a hip hop themed arcade fighting game with crazy finishers, four player multiplayer and fast paced gameplay.
The last game in that franchise was Def Jam: Icon.
Now remove all of what I mentioned before and try to "innovate" the fighting game genre. Two players, mediocre story, slower gameplay, ugly graphics.
This can explain it better than I can.
IIRC, the person that made that EA Sucks BIG avatar was back in the 2000s, when The Sims 2 was a thing. Although the game itself is considered by most to be the best in the series, it did have a lot of major bugs, some to the point of corrupting your game save. Some of those bugs include:
-The infamous "Jump Bug", where Sims would sometimes reset when they try to talk to each other.
-The numerous ways that you can corrupt your save. Deleting tombstones, and using the DeleteAllCharacters cheat, are big no-nos because of that.
-The Bon Voyage Expansion Pack had a major bug where the game would endlessly create Tour Guide and Pickpocket NPCs, causing neighborhood corruption. That expansion was also the first to include SecuROM (which is the back-then version of the Denuvo DRM, IIRC), which the community absolutely shitted on EA for adding that. EA would also include SecuROM in Spore, which was part of the reason why Spore became one of the most pirated games back in the day. Do also note that Sony was the developers of SecuROM, and that was after they got flak for including rootkits in music CDs.
