I could swear that there was one of these threads before, but in that one the characters were truly so hideous that they'd make you laugh with tears in your eyes.
Some memorable ones:
- The Elf made of approximately one and a half polygons
- The 3D Realms (?) disco room character
But the most hidous / hilarious character of 2005 award goes already this early in the year to Gizmondo and a guitarplaying game. They had this character that was awfully animated, horribly modelled and didn't have any expressions, it's mouth was constanty wide open and the character looked deformed. While playing it with a colleague in E3 we were holding our stomachs laughing. New Edge pimps it as their premier original IP :lol

I'm all about Xavier Fox, though why have't I seen the picture of the ninja titty girl yet?
Can't find a better picture, but these character designs really sucked ass. Thankfully, they couldn't replicate it with sprites in-game.

Jak and Daxter (mostly Jak, talk about "try to be cool design")
actually I hate pretty much all of naughty dogs designs, same goes for Ratchet & Clank series.. just awful characters
they all remind me of Poochy the dog (the failed "cool" character from "Itchy and scratchy" in one Simpsons episode)

Daxter's all right, if not a little bit generic. Plus, he's funny(At least I think so.)
Jak, on the other hand...the spiky blonde hair, the fab clothes, the attitude. Then in Jak II, they gave him a 'soul patch'. Ugh.
If you go to Naughty Dog's website, you can view a lot of neat concept art for Jak and Daxter. It's interesting to see what the characters looked like before the designs were finalized.

Apparently Xavier got an update at some point... I thought that was hair at first, but apparently it was a bandana to cover a bad eye...

Got bored and looked up some info on the game. Looks like they had a few decent idea, but too much of a "We can do ANYTHING!" approach, and I didn't spot anything since late 2001. Their domain's gone, too.

I love the Metal Gear series, but this is bad. I know the oversized green coat is suppose to be like a bomb suit, but the roller blades? And his name is "Fatman" which is equally retarded.
Well, he was a pretty horrible character, but the Fatman name is an allusion to one of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan (Fat man and little boy).

Worst character ever from the worst Mega Man ever.
Yeah, it's a bit of a shame. They talked a lot about their ideas on their 'official' board at TXB.com, and the game actually sounded really interesting and open-ended, if a bit too ambitious. Also, for some time they had said that the Xavier model was updated, complete with 'fur-shading' and whatnot, and to my knowledge they just never showed the public. At least a couple E3s went by where they promised to have a booth showing off the game, and it never happened. I remember acting pretty pissed at them about it, too.Kulock said:

TT from Diddy Kong's Racing. Yet another example of Rare's awesome character design.

All of these anime characters look the same. They don't count.
