The Jonathan Byers skin looks NOTHING like the real Jonathan in my opinion
Did you just erase his eyeballs or what? 😪

My understanding is that they can get the rights to the character but that doesn't give them the rights to an exact actor's face. Hence, they do their best to use the name and kind-of-sort-of make the character.
Oh yeah, forgot about that
Oh damn.. the Trailer was actually okay and promising…
Apparently he looks better in game. Can't confirm though..
I doubt they were allowed to use the actors likeness, but they didn't have to make him look like, this.
I think the lightings bad but judging by the trailer it DOES look like him. TO be fair that guy has a weird face anyway no offense.
Apparently he looks better when he's in a match
I'm sorry, they've a better model in the offices with great skin textures. ######### is this false advertisement??
The animations were glitched. They were fixed in the RE patch. So you'll have to wait until June 15th.
This is what it will look like once fixed.
Jan 15th?? You mean June right?
Animations or not, that's a huge texture difference between what's advertised and what we've gotten.
There's also some rumours that legendaries are getting their own voices alongside their own portraits and so on
Hopefully that comes with the RE chapter
1500 auric cells for quentin 2.0 very nice.
I was hoping it was just unfinished, dear lawd.
I hope you're right.
Its funny hearing Steve's scream coming out of him.
Whats the source? I'm browsing around and can't find any news on this..........thing.
Those are no rumours. In the last PTB, all existing legendaries got their own in-game portraits and had their names replace the names of the original characters while in the lobby. And while I can't go into too much detail, but yes legendary skins might also be getting voices and new portraits for the character select screens. 😉
God Quentin has some competition
I can't say as that would violate certain forum rules regarding leaks and datamines. 😉
I've seen what you're referencing, i'm pretty sure they don't like it when people talk about leaked content/datamining on the forums
The fact that his store animations make him look completely different to how he looks in game kind of shows that his animations aren't working as intended.
Here's how he looks in game
In lobby and in the store he looks more like this
Than this
In trailer, jonathan looks sick, but in game he looks another quentin thats more expensive
Yes weirdly the animation bug only effects him in the menu.
Animation has nothing to do with texture painting. The High resolution texture which was clearly shown in the trailer is not on this model. Lighting/shading no matter the animation speak for themselves and this was a clear bait and switch.
If that's what you've read or been told by more authoritative sources I won't dispute you other than to say that's strange, Nancy and Steve are absolutely spot-on.
While I do think that the Jonathan in the trailer looks pretty good this one in-game shot doesn't look all that great, but then seeing it compared with an actual photo of the actor actually makes it look better, in my opinion. I don't think it's that far off.
But it IS noticeably different. If the trailer and in-game models don't match then hopefully it will be something that can be fixed. I would really love a Nancy / Jonathan team in this game but won't be picking him up if he doesn't look closer than the game shot does.
Isn't the problem the fact he uses Steve's face animations?
I personally see hardly any difference between the two, the only problem that I see with it currently are the facial animations, which are planned to be fixed with the release of the RE chapter
You seriously dont see the difference? the clothes are spot on. I know the texture artists are better than this, they've done nothing but A+ work for years. They've more than enough talent to fix said issue.
Btw, I'm using Ultra Graphics + Nvidia AA enhancer. This is the best you can make Dbd look.
Again, you're talking about the animations here. Animations determine how the actual layout of the skin moves, if you put Cybil's skin with Cheryl's facial animations, it would produce something similar to that. Wait until the RE chapter releases and he'll look just fine.
Seems like Jonathan won't be getting many buyers.
This used to be the case, as clearly evident by Laurie, Quentin and Tapp, but from Ash and onwards they get both rights to the characters and likeness. They even gave Natalia Dyer (Nancy's actress) a pillow with her DbD model as a thank you.
That's the thing, the MODEL (not the texture) is the exact same (maybe higher poly for the advertisement photo) as the mesh we have now. You're base mesh is modeled to be reusable and can be used on several types of characters. Rig wise its the same as well. You can swap Bubbas animations to Billy and it will function just the same texture wise. Dbd does not have unique rigs per character (survivor wise). The artwork does not melt suddenly into a goblin. I've attached an image below on how games/movies use the same mesh for multiple characters.
Don't know if we're allowed to show stuff like that, but they fixed his head in the RE PTB (renders below were made by me in Blender (left is live, right is PTB))
Yep! Like others said above, looks like he got the Quentin treatment. 😂
I know!!! It's gonna take some getting used too lol.
