Remakes and remasters can be a great way to breathe new life in a forgotten or poorly-aged game but among the various changes that developers sometimes make, are old characters who turn up wearing somebody else’s face. Be it to match their actor’s looks, more accurately represent their in-game age, or just for fun, these new faces are sure to get a second glance. Here are 10 Remade Video Game Characters Who Looked Completely Different!

They remade the face of Takashima to match the new voice actor Hakuryu who's famous for acting in Yakuza dramas. He is also a singer who sang the ending theme to season 1 of Kaiji and it's the most Yakuza-karaoke-type-song ever. Look it up.
What about The Arbiter (Thel Vadam) from Halo 2: Anniversary/ MCC?
They intentionally missed Mary Jane, likely because they knew they would have to defend the change but didn’t want to restart any controversy.
They really need to stop purposefully modeling characters after their voice actors…Original Isaac Clark > Remake Isaac Clark.
P.S. Nicole Breenan looks like a 60 year-old.
Timestamps??
I can't stop hearing Mr. Bean when Peter talks lol.
👽
Alan Wake was modelled on the same guy both time; it's just better tech, higher fidelity
Edward Carnby has to be on here.
It's a small detail, but this music (puppy love) has always been on Peter Austin's videos. Last time they picked different music. Always use this for Peter Austin plzzzzz
That Yakuza Kiwami entry is fair however (in Peter's smooth voice) original actor, Narimiya who played Tanimura in Yakuza 4 faced drug use scandal. When the remaster was launched Tanimura was recast with Toshiki Masuda.
I was under the belief that the idiom was 'best foot forward', not 'best face forward'.
Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles to Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition
Hmm 🤔 I’m here for the dragon❤
I remember when I played Dragon Age: Inquisition for the first time, and seeing the ex-Templar Cullen Rutherford… and nearly choking on my tongue!
In both Dragon Age: Origins & Dragon Age 2, Cullen was this very bland looking character that seemed as though he’d been whacked in the face with a shield far more often than physically possible.
So imagine my surprise, when Cullen returned for a third outing, only this time the devs at BioWare must have caught on, because he had turned from a unattractive, pasty looking guy into a gorgeous, chiselled hunk! ❤️😍🥰
Whoever redesigned Cullen’s looks should have been given a huge pay rise & several promotions to boot for the miraculous work that they had achieved!
No Peter, no one has ever said put your best"face" forward.
This is a Mojo Plays video from yesterday 🤔
Spider-Man went from a Peter with 8 years of being Spider-Man to a Peter with 8 years of having been born
you silly Brits it's best foot not face
Remake Luis is way more suave than his pasty counterpart. How dare you.
I would have put Laura Croft and Cloud Strife on this list.
I just can't stand how everybody has this slower emphasized way of speaking now like there's a way to speak clearly and slowly without sounding like a machine
Satsuki from Demon souls… going from edge lord to generic stereotype asian dude 😂😭
Since Yakuza was brought up. You could have done the same with Like a Dragon Ishin, that had characters not only look better with it being a remake but others looking completely different, worth looking up if you never played the original (Which I hadn't)
RE4 remake of Salazaar, first time i saw him i thought he looked like Margaret Thatcher!
Love this channel , keep doing what you're doing triple jump 💪🏽
Increment the "Triple Jump mentions 'greatest game of all time'" counter!
I'm still mad they took away Ramon's hat in the remake.
I remember Cole from inFamous. Granted, that guy ended up reverting back to his old look between the new reveal in the 2nd game and the release of that title. So, doesn't quite fit this list.
I liked Ramón's original design better.
Remake Wander looks kind of weird.
🎉
12:10 – Didn't he smoke quite a lot? I'm pretty sure that can make you look older depending on how many cartons he went through each day.
