Update older survivors!

I believe it would be great to update some of the older survivors, if their original license allows. I say survivors specifically because I'd say most killers look fine. I mean, it'd be great to have the original Freddy Krueger design (Englund) with voice acting, but that probably will never happen. Same with Myer's mask looking kinda dumb, but DBD doesn't even have that license anymore. And Ghost Face could have such amazing voice lines (like he got in FORTNITE) but I believe BHVR only got the license to the mask itself not Scream, so that won't happen either. Then, there's someone like Springtrap who arguably looks somehow better than he did in FNAF 3.

The new stranger things characters look and sound great in comparison to many other characters, and I think it's worth going back and updating older survivors. Some characters, like Michonne or Alan Wake, look like they were ripped directly out of the source material with voice lines and all, but then there's others that are basically cosplayers. After playing SH3 I see Cheryl/Heather Mason, for example, could definitely have some fun voice lines. Also, it's discouraging to see that she was treated better in other collabs. Not too long ago, Heather was added to a mobile game called State of Survival, where she not only actually looked like Heather from the original game, was fully voice acted, and had some cool original cosmetics.

I know it comes down to licensing complications and having to go ahead and pay a voice actress and all that, but I think it's worth it. Also, DBD released original Konami cosmetics back during the last 2v8, so they must be chill with Konami. I wonder if she has to look vastly different because she is aged up by a few years in DBD? Regardless, I just think a lot of people would appreciate older characters getting some love.

    Honestly like you say its how terrible all of the silent hill cosmetics look (Alessa inparticular is ATROCIOUS lol)

    I hope one day they make them better

    I really wish the first resident evil chapter didn't come out in a such an awkward time in Dbds history. It's a mix of old and modern dbd style/balancing that makes the whole chapter just, bland.

    Imagine if Jill leon and nemesis were released today, how much different and flashier the power would have been. Voice lines, maybe a more tailor made map instead of a rip of REmake 2. If only

    Im all for updating models on some of the older characters but I really dont want more millenial writing dialogue lines in the middle of matches.

    They need to update the whole game. Hairs on many characters look really bad. The new Sable hair in this bloodmoon outfit is half bald and the bun looks like a clip on.

    This game needs a massive graphical update.

    Still bummed they didn't touch up Steve and Jonathan, Steve looks fine but dated and Jonathan just looks rough. C'mon, BHVR.
