Controversial character design changes in game remakes

[Leynos]

 I dunno if this counts as it never came out (thankfully) but during Capcom's teenage everything needs to be rebooted to be western and gritty phase they wanted to reboot Strider years before we got the wonderful Stider 2014 which is faithful to the series. No they wanted to go gritty and generic.

 From his classic iconic look to the most generic design possible.

To this shit

Like what is this? This can be any generic recycled enemy in a Ninja Gaiden game.

THANKFULLY Double Helix got a shot at a Strider Reboot and was very faithful to the formula and the design was updated to be more tech. Armored and the scarf is now a plasma trail.
