It's an improvement, which isn't exactly a high bar to clear, and the animated version looks pretty decent. Not my favorite, but it is an improvement, and that's something.
Wow! This is a huge improvement from the original. I don't know if I personally see the Jamie Lee Curtis likeness (definitely more than before) but in terms of just general design I think that the newer edition is good!
These character reworks are so hit-and-miss. They either give them a really great rework like this one or change the character into an entirely new, less attractive person (Dwight and Kate, RIP).
These are just getting worse and worse. Either way she doesn't look like Jamie Lee Curtis so there are obviously likeness rights at play which I understand, but since that's the case why change her at all? It's a lateral move.
While some of these redesigns are good in terms of making the characters look slightly prettier or more youthful or whatever that nonetheless also changes what they look like, how we perceive them as characters. I wish that they'd just drop this whole idea, or at the very least quit changing what the models actually look like. Use higher definition textures, more polygons, whatever. But don't take away Meg's red hair. Don't make Kate look like a naive teenage girl. Don't make Dwight look like a calm guy who'd look somewhat suave without his glasses.
I hadn't seen these yet. While my overall points remain, I have to acknowledge that after seeing these photos I definitely agree that this one's an actual improvement. I was initially going by the first picture in this thread (which is currently just a headshot against a blank background) and neither the old nor new images were flattering at all. These later pictures, on the other hand, ARE much better and DO resemble Jamie Lee Curtis. So far this is the only redesign that I'm fully in favor of. The rest range from "need work" to "just leave them alone" territory.
Time to play Laurie again she's my favorite horror final girl along with Sidney Prescott and I refused to play her until her face gots changed now it's perfect time
With these images shown side-by-side it is kind of funny to me how very small details could really tick the rework even more closely to the source material. By making her lips a little less wide and her upper lip more prominent and her nose a little more narrow, especially at the nostrils, they'd actually have a pretty good JLC look-alike!
It makes me wonder if they legally can't make her look like JLC like some people are saying. Or alternatively it makes me think that they are just giving all of the Survivors the same treatment and are rushing these faces out. They said they were going to show 4 and then are tweeting like 8+ Survivors rapid fire...
Thin and wide lips, open mouth, smaller eyes, wider noses, smooth baby faces... It seems like they are all getting the same general idea of improvements. Or am I just overthinking this? 🤔
To be fair that picture is of JLC near the beginning of the film, whereas her in-game outfit suggests that they paid more attention to the character from later in the movie, where she's confronted by Michael (which is fine, it makes sense). She looks a little different later on in the movie, I just couldn't find many good shots that demonstrated this. By the end of the movie her hair is all wet and almost straight, her whole face looks different.
But yeah I don't quite understand it, I'd love to hear the story. By getting the Halloween license they got not only the music, which director John Carpenter himself composed, but also the famous mask, so in a way they got the likeness of William Shatner. At the same time they didn't appear to get Jamie Lee Curtis, who is not only the rare slasher heroine who has expressed great enthusiasm for her part in the franchise but is also apparently a gamer as well? I don't know what the problem would have been there, unless it was strictly financial.

I’m not a fan of most of the survivor face reworks tbh, but this one is a big upgrade. Nice.
Laurie looked awful but this looks good. Now if Quentin ever gets his this game will explode.
Yeah, I guess maybe we'll hear if they got her likeness when they actually release the model on Twitter.
Yes please give us the older bad ass Laurie.
I'd imagine Jamie Lee is an expensive woman to get the likeness of

She looks really good!
Since Behavior are now showcasing licensed survivors, the next survivor would most likely be either Bill or Quentin.
Finally I can dust off my Laurie P3 I sure hope they come out soon with the rework.
Quentin is the one who needs it the most from the three, let's him get it first! 🙏🏻
Not bad for a licensed model here's hoping they do ash and Quentin next
######### that is not Jamie Lee Curtis, this sucks worse than the original tell me they're redoing her.
How do people not realise you can't just make a charcater look like someone without paying out a lot of money, it's clearly not doable or they would.
Here's hoping Quentin gets the same Laurie treatment.
All I'm saying is the old version looked more like Jamie than the new one if we can't have Jamie of like a look alike

Shirtless Myers, let's go.
Jokes aside, I really like the new Laurie. She looks nice, I'm gonna buy her chapter and play her a bit!
I'm sorry but the new one looks like if Yui Kimura had a cosmetic to become Laurie Strode I don't like it.

It's true tho if you like it then whatever I just wanted to get my opinion out there
YAAASS. Finally no more blurry hair for Laurie

For reference:
The old version looked like a weird mannequin with thinning hair. This one looks way more like JLC in motion, as seen in the video.
This is, for some reason, the first time I realized that we never got a Sidney. Why not?
They didn't get the actual rights to Scream, just the Ghost Face mask itself. Hence why it's technically an original character in the lore.
they dont remove it. The pics just doesnt show it since they are mostly in A pose or t pose.

Oh right right, I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.

Laurie mains rise up. She kinda looks like Jennifer Lawrence from passengers. Not mad at all
Yall need to realize these are WIPs, not the final version.
