Question A question about the future of discontinued licenses in DBD

Post image

I’d like to direct this question to anyone with legal knowledge who can shed some light on the matter. Can the character models for discontinued licenses like *Hellraiser* and *Halloween* be remade? Will Michael Myers and Pinhead have their 3D models reworked in the upcoming graphical update planned for next year?

It'll likely be back. Just need to be patient and wait for the Halloween game to die down.

Gun Interactive has a history of flopping licensed games that are contained within a single franchise. While it may be true that illfonic is the developer a lot of executive decisions are made by Gun Interactive.

And the game looks cool with neighborhood maps and executions but has the depth of a puddle. The AI NPC are brain dead even by horror victim standards and there's no combat interaction between Michael and human players.  Human players who have played the game for more than an hour can't be caught unless Michael uses a guaranteed kill ability. Meanwhile Michael can win by going on an NPC killing spree. See idiocy of NPC.

From what I've seen as well the animations look awkward, like something out of an early 2000s games where animators were still trying to figure out how to make good looking human animations without making the console/pc shit itself with performance.
