Resident Evil’s stamp on classic survival horror has endured for years, with franchise veterans such as Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield being truly iconic. Recently,Resident Evil’s crossover renaissancehas brought its characters to unrelated games that other fans have been able to enjoy as a result, includingDead by DaylightandFortnite.
Fortnite’s addition ofResident Evilcharacters is the latest crossover for the franchise, and it brings the debuts of Jill and Chris. Jill arrives with the option of either her classicResident Evilskin with a STARS beret, or the tank top and undershirt attire that debuted in the remake ofResident Evil 3. However, because of the refined quality ofFortnite’s model, fans have expressed their discontent with the lack of quality given to Jill’s model inDead by Daylight.

Resident Evilfans who are deeply unsatisfied withJill’s character model inDead by Daylightconsider her look inFortniteto add salt to that wound. Twitter user @Levit0 demonstrates the steep diversity between models, withFortnite’s render appropriately adapting Jill to its model aesthetic, whileDead by Daylight’s poorly adapts her. Further,Dead by Daylight’s model is not intended to look this way and, whenDead by Daylight’s graphical performance is optimal, Jill does in fact look more adequate than many players may have experienced.
Graphical issues appear to only significantly and consistently impactDead by Daylighton console platforms, though latency bugs and other errors are ubiquitously common. Twitter user @NAMESCLAIRE has shared a side-by-side comparison of each game’s model while she waits passively in a queue screen.Dead by Daylight’s Jill looks proper in this queue screenshot, without any of the aforementioned graphical deformities that players have experienced.
Fans' dissatisfaction is not unjustified when assessing these character model comparisons, though. The issue with Jill’s model may be alarger issue with Behaviour Interactive’s attention to performance across platforms, rather than Jill’s model behaving as an isolated incident. Jill is certainly not the first character model that players have found bugs and graphical issues with, after all, so fans' discontent may be better suited to assessing the differences between Behaviour and Epic Games, rather than the two character models themselves.
Regardless,Resident EvilandDead by Daylightfans are upset that Jill’s model has such glaring graphical issues and wonder why such a disparity is apparent. On the bright side, at least theversion fromResident Evil 3 Remakelooks great, with the graphics likely to hold up for some time.
Dead by Daylightis out for Andriod, iOS, PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
