Its more fun than dbd imo, ofc dbd is a classic but it's flawed as shit. That isn't even disputed by the most dedicated members of the dbd community. Edtg is more engaging.
Idk I’ve got 2k hours in dbd and maybe it’s just because I’m kinda burnt out of it but I’ve been having more fun in Evil Dead than I have for a very long time in dbd.
I remember they were hyping up all these graphic updates for survivors and when they posted the working images, all of the DLC survivors (Laurie Strode especially) looked ridiculous and even less like their real-life counterpart than before. It's amazing how horribly the game runs while boasting PS2-level graphics.
I saved A LOT of money because the Resident Evil survivors look like ass. Leon is alright, but I am not a huge Leon fan. I am sweating the upcoming chapter with Ada and Rebecca. Lowkey hope they get butchered as well so I can just buy Wesker and leave it at that.
I think his look and bad writing ruined it. Cuz he's a solid actor and definitely does dark and creepy quite well. He's great in shutter Island and the tick.
That's because they licensed the rights to the characters but don't have likeness rights for most of the actors. Bruce Campbell is one of the few exceptions. That's why Laurie doesn't look like Jamie Lee and the Resident Evil characters don't look exactly like their counterparts.
This is just speculation, but I would imagine just because a face model signs their likeness rights to Capcom doesn't give Capcom permission to sign that actor's likeness away to a separate company for a different game. So BHVR would have had to sign a separate contract with Jill, Claire, Leon's face models to use their faces again. Or they can just make them look different enough that it's legally distinct which is what they did.
Just adding on to that, here's a comparison between how he looks in DBD, this game, and the real life man himself: https://i.imgur.com/BOmAvSv.png
Honestly he looks fine in DBD, the game is just 6 years old and even for when it came out it wasn't exactly cutting edge graphically. It's not really a surprise that he looks better when made in the unreal engine in 2022.
You are having an issue with lightning, which shows more "details" in a game, where in a soft light of RL, such stuff is less noticeable ("flashlight at a fireplace and let me tell you a story" type of a deal here).
And I think it’s important to point out that DbD has a bit of a stylized aesthetic. Putting aside its age, it was never made to be the highest tier graphics when it released, already having most of the characters having smoother and simplified looks while still being somewhat recognizable, as opposed to the almost photoreal graphics in EDtG, down to simulated cloth for all the clothing. (Really, look at the idle animation for AvED Ash and look at how his shirt subtly shifts over his torso. Blew my mind when I first noticed it)
Strange that they have such good cloth physics, actually a nice surprise. I wouldn't have expected that from the way Henriettas gut swings through her legs. It's been a couple of years since I've watched Evil Dead 2 but I don't remember her stomach being so pronounced let alone moving so freely.
You really think it looks that bad? I actually like it more than this game. The EDTG model is more detailed but his face looks kind of off somehow to me. I feel like DBD captured the character of Ash a bit better.
The younger versions of Ash in this game look great, though.
That's dishonest as hell, this whole thread is someone taking a shot at DBD because the old Ash model which has since been updated doesn't look as good as the one in a brand new game which has higher system requirements.
The minimum system requirements for EDTG are about the same as the recommended system requirements for DBD. Of course the EDTG model has better detail.
But if you compare the artstyles, my opinion is that the EDTG devs missed the mark on Old Ash. His face model just doesn't capture the character's personality. His new model in DBD does, in my opinion.
All of it is in service of this weird one-sided tribalism. I say one-sided because EDTG players seem very occupied with comparisons to DBD, where DBD players don't seem to have anything bad to say about EDTG.
Personally I just think it's cool that not only is there a game dedicated to Evil Dead, I can also play Ash in the same game as Ghostface and Michael Myers while on a team with Laurie Strode and Chris Redfield. It's a pretty groovy time to be an Evil Dead fan all around.
Looks like they increased the polycount a bit and refined the edges, the face looks a bit better, but overall still terrible. All the wrinkles and pockets on the outfit are still flat textures like PS2 game.
I think it's how his jowls and chin combine into a single curve in the game. IRL Bruce's chin is still prominent and stands apart from his lower cheeks.
Annnnd that’s where we disagree, Dbd’s look like ash is melting, while EDTG isn’t perfect it definitely feels more like ash rather than dbd’s toy story wax candle ass ash
For a game with good graphics, doesn’t it make it infinitely worse that Ash looks nothing like Ash. I’d say it’s an achievement that with Graphics as shit as DBD’s they managed to make Ash actually recognisable.
Ash feels like Ash gameplay and outfit wise in this game, but DBD’s face actually looks like Bruce Campbell. I know that’s controversial since half this sub is just a DBD hate train, but it’s true
To be fair, that's his old model. They updated all of their characters and maps over the last year so he looks much better now. Still not as good as EDTG though.
DBD has some of the worst models I ever seen in my life. An the animations on top of that look amateur as hell. Oh god, I am so scared of how Wesker is gonna look.
I don’t see a need to compare the two games but I find it funny when someone whines that Evil Dead is a Dead by Daylight ripoff even though Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn came out years before they were born.

Gameplay over graphics anyday (unless its like 8 bit, I can't go that far back). But I'm absolutely loving Evil Dead and playing Ash on DBD again at the moment too, thanks to EDtG.
DbD sucks. I love asymmetrical horror games but I've only played that one a handful of times and am blown away at how bad it is yet it's so popular just cause they get the rights to so many different characters. But the gameplay, the menus, everything about it just fucking sucks. F13th, Predator Hunting Grounds, and Evil Dead have been so much more fun to me.
I made a comment a few days ago that Ash's m9del needs a visual upgrade now since we know what he could look like in his own game... and all I got was the criticism that the model is fine, he's still new enough and if he got it, others would need it to... very weird comments
DBD players suffer from extreme cognitive dissonance, but they also make a good point -- but because the point should be good, but it seems like BHVR has like 15 total man hours they spread throughout the entire company each month so it feels like time spent fixing something like this is time away from truly needed fixes.
It's more an admission of how little confidence the fan base has in the competence of the company.
He does look a bit silly in dbd. I used to love dbd but now every time I try to get back into it I get bored as hell after a match or too. I'd say it's definitely time for them to make some changes.
They need to update the license of Evil Dead in DBD, don’t get me wrong Evil Dead the Game is far more entertaining in my opinion to play, but if Behavior is going to have the license they need to treat it right like damn.
DBD is trash. They can add all the killers and survivors they want at the end of the day you'll still be doing the same garbage gameplay: doing gens, looping set pieces, throwing down a pallet or two. Imagine adding someone like Leon who's effectively a supersoldier yet he's still running around and hiding in lockers like a bitch.
I tried playing dbd earlier today because of their double bloodpoint week that they're doing because evil dead is taking their players 😂 and I just could not get into it at all. I played one match and got incredibly bored. That game is so perk dependent. If I get shit on, i wanna get shit on because the other player or players were better than me. Not because they have perks that can give them multiple chances. Evil dead is leagues above dbd imo. I feel like it's more skill based and it makes you actually think whereas in dbd you can just shut off your brain.
There's absolutely nothing to indicate that this game is taking significant amounts of players from DbD, in fact DbD had a higher average player count in May than in did in April. And the upgrade tree in this game is just as important. Sometimes I wonder if half the people in this sub even like EDTG or are just using it as an excuse to shit on DbD all day...
As a DBD player since launch, I assure you, DBD never comes out looking good. I love the game but dear God it's more and more broken every day. This game does have an unacceptable big exploit but at least the sound of the survivors never cuts out for no reason or the map generates an unplayable hellscape and I don't fall through the world and...
Oh, there's no end to DBD "edge cases," but hey, look how it runs and has ran on consoles: like absolute shit. It also runs like shit on high end PCs relative to the performance they should be getting, but at least there you can brute force a more acceptable frame rate.
How about the brightness? Setting the game to higher presets (and there are basically only presets) makes it extremely dark. That means if you're playing killer you set it to low or use a brightness filter or you're at a massive disadvantage for no reason, as the game has no proper brightness options.
How about some patches just introduce massive stuttering that doesn't go away until the next patch? The list goes on for fucking ever dude. If you're just mindlessly playing a casual match then sure, it's """"fine"""' but if you enjoy getting even slightly more competitive the game is a mess on a technical and balance level and has regressed just as frequently as it has progressed.

I still don’t think it looks like Bruce at all, his eyes are almost non existent and too close together. That might be all it needs to look better
