Yeah, I know what you mean about redesigning. I find it to be a really sticky issue when such a dramatic redesign happens to a character. On one hand it's kind of disheartening when the redesign is so dramatic, but on the other hand Cole is not our character to tamper with/keep. Since he belongs to Sony and Sucker Punch, they can do whatever the crap they want with him regardless of what fans have to say.

Something tells me that Sony might have had a hand in this so-called redesign if it is actually going to be assets used in-game. Since they publish SP's games, they could easily have told them to redesign Cole because he wasn't appealing to the audience that they wanted/they didn't find him likable enough.

I agree though. IMO Cole could have used some tweaking in regards to his original outfit, but some of the redesigns really took away from his original character assuming that they're actually going to use the design on the GI cover.

sorry for the business-y rambling. that's my inner art student taking over haha
