I've got a question!

And I do hope you have an answer. Now you've probably seen a post recently and I mean very recently talking about licensed killer cosmetics and well this is my question "Why weren't any of these killers alternative looks taken into consideration to be added into DBD?"

Look Leatherface didn't always wear the same outfit even in the orignal movie and even Mortal Kombat added in his alternative look that was from the orignal film and I know you could say his butcher suit is more iconic but still why wasn't his suit added to the game? Now I'm not sure if you all seen the orignal Texas Chainsaw Massacre but here is the alternate look that he wore during the big finally which ironically was a VERY iconic scene.

Now than what of the Pig, Freddy and Michael Myers? Suprisingly they do have alternative looks and other reimaginings such as Wes Cravens New Nightmare look for Freddy!

Again I'm still a little disappointed these looks weren't added or considered maybe it's issues with the license but still these killers do have alternate looks. Like when is saw the SAW movie I never knew Amanda wore the red robe and blue jean combo I was more familar with her black robe with red that mimiced Jigsaws outfit!

But yes again why weren't these alternative looks considered was it fairness to Michael Myers because you'd be surprised his mask variations maybe small and the difference is there as even with the Rob Zombie imaging of Michael Myers would have been a nice addition. So yes why weren't these alternative looks considered for future cosmetics?

    Because they would have to pay for another license to use these cosmetics. There is a high probability, all licensed killers won't have any new outfits in the future.

    True but why didn't they go for the whole shebang if you would? Issues with funding or because they simply couldn't afford it?

    Real shame but I guess we can cling to a foolish pipe dream that one day these cosmetics will be added.

    I saw and it really is because now we may no longer see games involving Jason. So let us have a brief moment of silence for the two games that has him as we may never be able to play as him again. (Mk and F13).
