Two words on that Leon
Rebecca is doing cup and saucer and they’re all doing a weaver stance which no one uses anymore. Although Chris has the best stance, but he’s holding it like shit.Someone please teach these cgi designers how to hold a pistol Leon is the only one that is doing it right that doesn’t look ridiculous
For real, it's to the point of where I love his Code Veronica characterization so much that if a CVmake would ruin it, it would would ruin the remake for me. I can't tell what made Capcom decide to take out his charm and make him borderline generic. Feels like OG Leon is going down the same path too.Just don’t know how he went from being one of the coolest characters to an absolute joke.
Honestly now that you mention it same, his design is so inconsistent now unlike everyone else.I can’t even determine his ethnicity anymore. He looked fine in RE8.
CV he was just Keanu Reeves with blue eyes. But that's fine. REmake while having a different face, still felt like it had the same ingredients with his body type and hair. Instead of that ultra spikey hair thing that's in the RE1 intro FMV and artwork for that game, they made it more realistic and not Anime like.For real, it's to the point of where I love his Code Veronica characterization so much that if a CVmake would ruin it, it would would ruin the remake for me.

The CV design was fine, though I see your point and think unlike Leon, Barry and Wesker by that point, Chris was fairly generic looking Chris's traits were fine though, I enjoyed a lot of his moments in CV. RE1 as well, and later the REmake. I always thought he was meant to be the cool, confident, older brother type with some wise cracks and I felt that was fine. RE5 totally undid everything likeable about him.CV he was just Keanu Reeves with blue eyes. But that's fine.

RE5 looked a little bit like REmake but made him look more rugged and not baby faced anymore since he's in his mid 30s. RE6 is when they started making him look like a different guy. He's got the RE5 face but they started giving him that Caesar haircut that didn't suit him. Vendetta is when they really hit the gas to make him look entirely different and this movie looks like they just reused the same asset model and made him look more sickly old looking. No blue eyes? Fuck off. The whole cast has blue eyes, at least the core characters.
Claire is identical from Infinite Darkness so they're clearly just repackaging shit to save time/money. They did it with Jill for all to see and make up bullshit that she's a slow ager now to cover the fact they had a tiny budget.
He never really developed into a "character" until maybe RE6, but he's a hateable asshole in that one. He's very white bread. A blank slate almost up until RE5.The CV design was fine, though I see your point and think unlike Leon, Barry and Wesker by that point, Chris was fairly generic looking Chris's traits were fine though, I enjoyed a lot of his moments in CV.

RE5's wasn't terrible, but I think looking back, it did feel like they weren't sure how to design him ever. I do think the idea of making him less baby faced and more rugged was a good step but that's it. I can see why he'd have a larger build then Leon, especially to change him up. RE6, I agree on. That looks weird.
Claire is a disappointment, I love her outfits so something new would be so nice. Jill I think is worse then Claire in this aspect because Claire is at least the proper age and look, but Jill is just a bullshit excuse.
At least RE1 and CV Chris were likeable and had some traits. RE5 seriously had no personality. But I completely agree on Leon and I don't know know why Capcom made Chris the face. Granted it spared Leon from RE8, so, sure.He never really developed into a "character" until maybe RE6, but he's a hateable asshole in that one. He's very white bread.

Why Capcom prefers him to Leon I'll never know.
Regardless on how anyone feels about him, Leon at least had an arc to his character. The unsure rookie that no one listens to, to becoming a super agent, sure of himself smart ass.
I think visually Chris is fine in RE8 but he's got his super over the top angry personality from RE6 again, which I loathe.At least RE1 and CV Chris were likeable and had some traits.
