Well you are just weird because he looks just the same to me. You might fit in this neogaf thread of all the people who don't like it. :-p http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=902504
Plus it doesn't help there is a massive reflection of ND's studio in it!
I absolutely hate when devs change character designs. For a reboot sure, but for a sequel/remaster? F no!
So sad that they changed Elena's face for the third game. I actually prefer the design in 3, but it just destroys everything from the previous games. It's just as bad as when an role is recast for a sequel.
I absolutely love ND, but I have zero faith in them keeping the characters the same. Age them a bit? Sure. Give them plastic surgery and new bone structure? Yuck. Again though yeah hopefully it's just the angle and reflections making him look off.
