False advertisement
I'm not the greatest at creating post, but to a game I truly love, I couldn't let this slide past the community. I'm talking about the misleading or falsely advertised skins in Dead By Daylight. I truly love the game, I love the content developers are making but some of the cosmetic that were advertised and priced for..... very disappointing in some of the cosmetics and some shouldn't be charged so much for very little-mediocre effort. For example, the recent release of Alessa Gillespie doesn't represent how she was advertised.
Inside the news, she was advertised like the picture above. Now if you go inside the store, you'll see something slightly odd and similar.
Now you could say I took a photo of her ugly side, lowered my quality(This was taken in ultra quality) or should have taken a video taken a video, that's not necessary. You can go to the game and witness all this yourself. Anyways, Everything about her model and how the developers advertised her skins is misleading. Instead of creating a new model for Alessa Garland or different head, they slapped clothes and a new wig on Cheryl Mason. What's even worse, since Alessa is a special cosmetic that's supposed to represent another individual on a same survivor. You can't be creative, and mix & match the same clothes with Cheryl Mason, even though; they share the same model. idk, Should the developers stop this false advertisement? or should they continue on?
I just want a new model for Alessa Gillespie, not happy how they advertised her, and sorry for the grammar error and the length of this, I couldn't think of more to say but you get the message.

I feel it and so does at least 50% of the community.
It's like the whole thing with killers "banding together to tunnel Lisa players"
They tunnel for a reason, not to be horrible killer but to try to bring attention to the devs that Lisa is overpriced and people should not buy it until they fix the price to something realistic

Because it's not a Legendary Skin.
Compare it to the Lisa Garland set. Hers is classified as the silver 'Legendary' tier, complete with a new model and lobby animations.
The Alessa set is classified as the purple 'Very Rare' tier and shares Cheryl's model and lobby animations.
It's basically Cheryl wearing Alessa's clothes, and the description of the outfit says as much. Exactly the same as Dwight, Meg, Claudette and Jake wearing the clothing of four Left 4 Dead characters; it doesn't actually turn them into Ellis, Zoey, Rochelle and Francis.
It was never advertised to be a Legendary Skin like the Lisa Garland set.

@Superyoshiegg What's the point of having the outfit being exclusive? Since they share the same model, might as well be creative with the outfit. There was no point in advertising this.

Its probably because Konami made it that way. i doubt the devs would care if you could mixed and matched Alessas and Cheryls clothes

I bought it so every time I have a Cheryl party I can be the ugly step sister.

But their is no new model for the nurse one its still just the same Cheryl model with only a lobby idle animation amd that's it

I mean look I don't care about the lobby animation, Cheryl/Heather was part of Alessa anyways so I'm not surprised that they act in a similar way, I just hate how they look exactly the same, just the same player model. I wanted to buy the skin too-

As a Quentin main I understand the frustration.

The actual fidelity of the cosmetics is quite subpar in DBD. They simply don't have the skill to make high quality models unfortunately.

It feels half-assed. Almost as if they rushed it or something. I hope if they ever make Robin in the future, they don’t just put a wig on Nancy. I understand the graphics not being as beautiful as the picture we see, but they could’ve changed up the model to make it more alike to the character.

Ive never played SH so outside of PH I have no idea who these people are, and because of that idc. I bought Alessa cause I like that outfit more than the others. She reminds me of wednesday adams for some reason, theres a weird goth thing going on with her. I dig it

I'd bet somewhere in there tos it says display images can be altered without notice. You should of been a smart consumer and looked into it first. Just saying
1 -
I said the exact same thing when I saw the pictures being advertised.

To be honest I don't even understand why Alessa looks like that in the border image, she looked nothing like that in Silent Hill. And as another poster said, Alessa and Cheryl are kiiiinda the same person so I don't think they'd look much different anyway.

I guess I'm the only one who likes the actual model over the news photo?
I hate the photo one! It looks like she's wearing makeup which she wouldn't be wearing anyway.

i know it's kinda old this thread but it's an interesting topic so,Thought i was the only one who noticed the (Alessa) News photo and the in-game model look totally different,i have the Alessa Skin and i love it but,she looks totally different in those two pictures,not to mention the graphics look better,don't be suprised,it happened the same thing with Cybil's legendary skin,she looked WAY better in the trailer than in-game,Dissapointing but not surprising,don't know if it's a totally false advertisement but,it's kinda.

How is it false advertisment if you can see the actual model before you buy it?
Do you call out mcdonald too for having their burgers look better in picture then in real life?
3 -
Ppl do call it out lol.

Exactly! I bought the skin before I saw the ad and still seeing the ad I'm like, 'ugh'. You can clearly see before you buy how she looks. If you don't like how she looks, just don't buy it. It's not like there is preorders for skins and down the road it becomes available and you're all full of tears Alessa doesn't have painted on eyebrows like you expected her to have. 😣
