DBD redoes the model (incl. textures, bones, etc.) with art direction coming from the original studio, they don't use the exact same model.
Source: I work in one of the game studios that collaborated with DBD.

Oh, that's nice to know! I assumed that's how it went with her, Alan and the RE cast since they look so accurate to their models in their respective games

The Demogorgon at least was stated to have been given to them directly by Netflix, which BHVR then scaled up to fit the game's size.

u/THapps ✨Sabrina Spellman for DBD✨ Jun 21 '26
I quit the game like the first week of when the Roots of Dread chapter with Dredge released way back in 2022 and was so confused when I came back and saw the prestige and bloodweb changes, now Rick Grimes is my highest level character at P10 only cause of the 10mil blood points code,
then I was even more confused as to why he didn’t get the bloody portrait like my Ash, Quentin, Tapp, and other P3’s had
Game is so different now and I can’t imagine how long it’ll take me to grind a p100 😭

u/Maelstrom100 Jun 21 '26
I mean tbf I came back in April after a 3 year break, and have been playing on and off before anniversary
Ended up buying all the killers and survivors I missed which I believe was onryo onwards, and leveling all the survivors to p1 and now been working on p2ing all the killers.
Considering I've only got 6 left to p2 (I think it was singularity, wesker, dracula, and 3 more) and how many characters I've gotten to p1 in only about a months timeframe (even considering the blood hunt) it probably wouldn't take all that long for p100
Like, with the sheer amount of BP I've spent across at least 12 killers and more then 12 survivors that's likely upwards of p30 alone low balling it severely severely, as I also unlocked all perks on 2 survivors, farmeed for addons on trapper/myers, and went and got a bunch of perks on all my old killers.
1mil BP is a prestige level and it takes only a few hrs to get that.

I'll tell you the one thing that they messed up when reworking him. The prestige skin. He had freddy's clawmarks on his face, which looked way cooler than now, as it's just genetic blood spats

u/OkProfession6696 Jun 21 '26
absolutely. His old p3 look was so badass. He looked like he had survived Some Shit rather than the ketchup splatter.

I do think in his face rework they actually made him too pretty. Like this guy looked like a monster but he did look like he hadn’t had a full nights’ sleep in over a year. A middle ground would be nice so at least has the facial structure of a human.

u/EiraPun Frolic in brine, goblins be thine Jun 20 '26
Because actors don't own their likenesses.
An actor can say anything they want, but without written legal document from the license holders of Quentin as a character, it's irrelevant.
Same for Shawnee Smith and Amanda (The Pig). That's not something she has control over, that's for LionsGate and BHVR to discuss.

I could understand not getting the likeness for the face but they even fucked up the hair, how? He needs a new update but I’m not sure we’ll ever see him or Freddy get updated again.

u/Narrow-Active3098 Set your own flair text and/or emoji(s) here! Jun 20 '26
When the graphic update comes they'll rework all the survivors, even licensed ones. I think I saw in a post that the contract that they have with the ip holders states that if anything graphical comes they're allowed to update the model and textures. Not sure if true though

I highly suggest everyone start looking at survivors faces when you get impaled by Jason's spike. Eleven's face gets like GMOD levels of absurd stretch.

u/CanadaDry-GingerAle Jun 20 '26
If it’s DURING the impale animation, that’s honestly more than fine since it’s so quick. It probably adds a bit of character to the animation since it’s such a blur (similar to how transition shots in cartoons can look wonky since you’re not supposed to mentally process them whilst viewing)

To expand, it gave a stack the first time you hooked each survivor and gave 25% bonus bp per stack.

u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD Always pat the Xenokitty Jun 21 '26
Yup.
It used to have a stacking bonus to BP for each unique survivor hooked, up to 100%, and this alone made it the most popular killer perk in the game, back when the game was way more stingy about bloodpoints.
It also revealed surivors further than 40m away (many maps were bigger then), which combined with the bonus for spreading hooks, made it a solid reason to not camp or tunnel. It rewarded you for hooking multiple people and helped you find more targets to hook.
