  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=295">4:55</a> i just find funny how in the original games those behind bars enemies were mysterious monstrous creatures and in the remake they were just random old men lol

  I appreciate the efforts vicarious visions did and zome touch ups are great infact like the skull on the skunks fur. But i feel doing uncanny realism on the models was not a good idea at all

  As someone who played the originals and the remakes, I love the enemy designs in both of them! I may have nostalgia for the OGs, but I&apos;m not blinded by them to say the NST &quot;looks bad in comparison&quot; when clearly they&apos;re not. Vicarious Visions did a fantastic job at not only recreating their designs, but made them feel more alive and cartoonish.

  As someone who was exposed to the series through the N Sane Trillogy, I love both designs equally for their own reasons. The Original for how much personality and life they could put into this game, despite the limited hardware. The Remake for how much fun the designers had with reimagening these simple polygonal critters. And how some are given a bit more life to them, like the Skunks and the Bats. While N Sane isn&apos;t that faithful to the original style, it doesn&apos;t have to be, especially it still conveys the same feelings as the original regardless.<br><br>The detail of the caged monsters being changed to old human prisoners was an interesting one, and adds a bit more creep factor Cortex and makes your imagination race with ideas.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=178">2:58</a> The OG spider here is kinda scarier than the NST one! 🫣<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=239">3:59</a> massive improvement because you probably wouldn&apos;t even know what that was! 🤖<br><br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=333">5:33</a>! Wow! What an upgrade! 🫠

  Dude, Papu Papu doesn&apos;t even look similar, like, AT ALL.<br><br>Pd: Really nice editing skills man! Super underrated channel.<br><br>Pd2: The green lizard looks different in the NTSC and PAL PS1 versions (due to a mistake, fixed in PAL).

  My rankings:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=8">0:08</a> - PS1 wins. Just fits much more with the Looney Tunes aesthetic of the original games and is more readable than the other one.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=20">0:20</a> - N. Sane trilogy. Giving it to them because I really like the legs and the shapes and the face is honestly better too.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=33">0:33</a> - PS1. The skunk looks a lot more like a skunk. The one on the right looks like some kinda painted hamster or something, and it just generally looks ugly especially with that broken fur shader (I will be pointing out this fur shader a lot)<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=47">0:47</a> - PS!, but it&apos;s a close one because the new one looks really good still. I just argue that it looks kinda too playdoh-ish and the interior of the mouth looks unfinished.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=60">1:00</a> - N. Sane. Neither model is great but the new one is a lot more define and it keeps the shape of the original version very well. The mix of regular shader and the fur shader really makes it stand out how inconsistent the lighting on the fur shader is.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=74">1:14</a> - N. Sane. The shapes are really good and the extra details really add a lot to the character.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=85">1:25</a> - N. Sane. I really love &nbsp;how the leaves are slightly brighter at the tips to make the readability much easier, also the interior of the mouth looks a lot more finished this time.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=95">1:35</a> - N. Sane. Same as before. I liked the blue-grey color of the leaves in the PS1 version more, tho.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=105">1:45</a> - PS1. While the N. Sane version has a lot of personality, I feel like they gave it the wrong personality. Making the cute fish generically evil feels like the wrong way to go but I get why they thought they&apos;d need to do that.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=119">1:59</a> - PS1. By a LANDSLIDE the new model looks horrendous. The texture work on the PS1 is so good. I don&apos;t know what the hell they were thinking.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=134">2:14</a> - PS1. The shapes flow so much better on the original version. The new model looks so lumpy and goofy and kinda like a child&apos;s playdoh sculpture. I really don&apos;t like it.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=143">2:23</a> - PS1. The new model looks much better but I still don&apos;t like how they pudgified him.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=150">2:30</a> - PS1. Same reason as before.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=165">2:45</a> - Tie? Both models have their pros and cons. I much more like the silhouette and belly pattern of the PS1 version, but the face on the new versioni s really good too. The bone weights on the new version ar e effed up tho.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=178">2:58</a> - PS1. Ew gross. Why did they give the spider human eyes? What the fuck. There was no reason to change his red glowy eyes.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=193">3:13</a> - Tie. Neither of them look good to be honest.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=213">3:33</a> - Tie. They both look really good.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=224">3:44</a> - N. Sane trilogy by a MILE. The angles and shader work is so good especially the eyestalk.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=238">3:58</a> - N. Sane. I&apos;m not particulary fond of the main body but I love the eyeball and the glowing bit on the steppers. It really makes him stand out.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=255">4:15</a> - N. Sane. Still has that fur shader problem which I hate but the face is very fitting with the Looney Tunes aesthetic. And giving him separate legs is really nice.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=272">4:32</a> - PS1. Ew god the broken fur shader REALLY rears its ugly head in this level with the glowing goo. His face just looks so much worse too.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=287">4:47</a> - PS1 a THOUSAND times. Probably the worst interpration out of N. Sane Trilogy in the entire game. The first one looks monstruous and just seeing the eyes is also very looney tunes. Turning him into just a guy is such a poor move.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=302">5:02</a> - PS1. Not great models but the N. Sane one just looks too pudgy. IDK why they made a lot of these animal enemies fatter.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=317">5:17</a> - N. Sane trilogy. I&apos;m not crazy about the rat&apos;s face but the paws and such are quite a bit better and they kept the red glowing eyes too!<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=333">5:33</a> - PS1. I much prefer it being a faceless blob of transparent gel than a slimer ripoff. I remember specifically seeing that in the N sane trilogy and hating it so much.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=345">5:45</a> - N. Sane Trilogy. They seem to do really really well with the human characters. The shapes of the new one are BETTER than the shapes of the original!<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=375">6:15</a> - N Sane. Again, they do really well with the human characters. Papu Papu looks so good and they gave him so much expression.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=425">7:05</a> - PS1. And we have an animal character that they butchered. It&apos;s not terrible but they fucked up the shape of his face.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=483">8:03</a> - N. Sane. One of the very few furred characters that look better. The lighting in this scene plays nicely with the fur shader and the texturing they did on the fur itself really helps al ot too. The expressiveness is much better as well.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=504">8:24</a> - PS1. Why does he have lipstick and again that fur shader HATES the green lighting.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=612">10:12</a> - N. Sane. N Brio looks so good. They really did a good job with shaping him.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=655">10:55</a> - &nbsp;PS1. I really don&apos;t like how they segmented his muscles like that and made them so veiny. It just looks gross and not cartoony.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=690">11:30</a> - N. Sane. Genuinely one of my favorite Cortex models ever. I love him having a flat head.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtS6SCgTWHc&amp;t=769">12:49</a> - PS1. They&apos;re both quite good but I like her face on the old &nbsp;version much better.
