It finally happened!
With all the big hints that had been lining up, it was more than likely either going to be Alien or Jason Voorhees that came with this update, since Behaviour said this and the next one would be big licences, and Alien is about the biggest horror icon not already in the game. So this is great!
They've already confirmed this chapter is going to feature a killer and survivor, so it's likely we'll get Ripley with this too; and a Nostromo/Hadley's Hope mash-up map too potentially, by the looks of it!
The only downside is I already spent half my auric cells on Nicholas Cage! Oh well, guess I'll just have to use moneypoints for this when it comes out later this month.
I want Alien³ rep.
Cute. Definitely seems to have the look/tone down.
Good thing I grabbed Dead By Daylight a couple months back.

Luckily since Alien is one of those franchises where every entry has only ever been made by the same studio I'd say there's a good chance they should be able to get some Alien 3 Runner customisation options in there. It's not like Halloween or Texas Chainsaw Massacre where a bunch of movies were made by different studios so they don't have the rights to certain looks. So hopefully with Alien they'll be able to do as much as they like.
I'm gonna be that guy and skip this because I stopped playing DbD over a year ago and I have no intention of going back to it. I would love to see that Friday the 13th/Hunting Grounds format applied to a stand alone Alien game, however.
Oh my - that environment looks incredible!

That did not work well for Predator
Everyone does know its for "Dead by Daylight" right? and DbD looks nothing like that. So you got a cinematic trailer fellers. Granted, they might be using an identical map from isolation since their Resident Evil DLC had the same map from one of the games but its horribly lit.

Hey, Hunting Grounds kept me around a lot longer than Fireteam Elite. It just lacks a constant flow of content and variety.

We are all very aware this in for Dead By Daylight, we have been discussing the possible inclusion of Alien in it for the past 6 months
Yeah but you can go back to Aliens Fireteam Elite, not so with Hunting Grounds though.
Quote from: BlueMarsalis79 on Aug 01, 2023, 07:19:40 PMYeah but you can go back to Aliens Fireteam Elite, not so with Hunting Grounds though.
Yea, Hunting Grounds is pretty much dead now. But I'm not a fan of Fireteam Elite. I tried going back in and I just found it really boring.
The very fact that you thought that an Alien being integral in the DbD engine makes me cringe. Not in the "game is so scarey and power tripping awesome cringe" but damn , why do you think that it will be any good made me cringe. Much like, why do people still want to mod alien games without a credible ounce of artistic skill type of cringe.
I stopped playing DbD due to lack of variety. I mean it's not lacking in variety in terms of characters and killers, but each map, to me, is essentially the same thing over and over; fix the generators and escape. Don't get me wrong, the game is fun in short bursts but it gets boring very quickly. I would just like different goals, like really change it up now and then.
It boggles my mind why its an actual genre.

Bud, the only cringe thing here is your attitude.
Its my opinion. dare i speak it? I love the trailer though. Its absolutely professionally made. And little Jonesy is especially cool to see.
I just know for a fact DbD content comes out hokey. I do hope there is something better in store for the Alien dlc.
Hope it'll cocoon survivors, instead of hooking them. 8)
Also looking forward to the ridge-headed design as an alternative appearance, if they do that. If they don't, it'll be a missed opportunity.
Great news, finally the rumors are true.
Can we get eggs scattered around the map that triggers face-huggers, forcing survivors to engage in a minigame?
Anybody know if it's common for them to do a physical release that includes the new dlc like this? I know they did that with "stranger things" and it had its own themed box art...
Next will be Predator!
And AVP in DBD!
I need Predator and Predator Ship
As next DLC!
And DbD will be with AvP

I'd say it's very unlikely. They've had many big name chapters in the past without boxed releases.

Yea I saw that stranger things edition. Apparently that's the only way to get that now; to buy the physical copy which I saw going for $350 on Amazon... yikes! I hope alien doesn't have a limited availability like that. And I'm hoping it does get a physical release too...
BHVR said a ST like situation will never happen again due to the way they do license deals now
So is the release going to be more likely in a few weeks, months, or next year?

Their licensed chapter contracts will ensure that no chapter ever leaves DBD again, tho I'm not sure when they started the new contracts, but I know Alien for sure will fall under it

I would have liked to grab the stranger things one but I ain't paying $350 for the physical copy just to get it lol
Don't want to end up in the same boat with alien if I don't grab it right away...
The Stranger Things stuff is the only time they've lost a major licence in the game, and that seems to be entirely due to Netflix wanting to branch out and do gaming stuff on their own and apparently not being fans of easy money. So I highly doubt the same situation would happen with Alien.
Quote from: Wweyland on Aug 04, 2023, 11:51:22 AMSo is the release going to be more likely in a few weeks, months, or next year?
The roadmap they put out a few months ago said we'd be getting a new killer and survivor in August. And given that everything shows up on the PTB first (Public Test Build) before being released about three weeks later, we should get our first look at all the new stuff next Tuesday, with a release most likely on August 29th.
Curious to see how they handle the layout of the Nostromo compared to Alien: Isolation.
There's the layout we see in the movie, and ridley's doodles of B and C deck layouts, but it will probably be modified heavily to be more gamey.
Yeah Dead by Daylight doesn't really do "realistic" locations in the sense of trying to make them actually look like a real place with an appropriate layout. Their whole thing is that you're trapped in "the Entity's realm" and it's recreated these places from survivor's memories and stuff, so they're always a bit abstract (for gameplay purposes) rather than one to one accurate recreations of whatever general or specific idea they're based on.
Honestly that's why I was so surprised that the RPD map is so accurate to the Resident Evil 2 remake, albeit with a lot of destroyed walls. But in the case of the Nostromo, I'd imagine it's just going to be a lot of themed corridors with one or two "main" rooms, like the lunch room we saw in the CG teaser and maybe one or two other bigger areas.
While they are doing it, there has to be a Bridge with the Mother room as well.
Alien PTB today!
Expect to see gameplay and everything except cosmetics and final balance changes today
Should be about 50 minutes to go before everything is revealed!
The power is very disappointing
It's interesting, though it seems like maybe you move slower in "Runner stance" than in normal? In which case it could make it hard to catch up to and hit survivors in certain circumstances.
Everything's live on the PTB though, so anyone who owns Dead by Daylight on PC can try it out now.
Cute, I'll give this a go.
I'm not familiar with the game but that was a fantastic trailer. Great atmosphere. I want a CG series just in that style.
No life cycle, its called of The Xenomorph instead of The Alien, no Weaver likeness, and Alien is for some reason not a stealth killer
I've been watching streams of this chapter since it became available. Everything looks amazing! The only thing I'm not really happy with is the animation used in the game menu when you select the Xeno is the same from Alien Isolation when it comes out of the vent in a twirl. It feels copy + pasted and it's not from any movie so I'm not comfortable with it.
Eeeee... This feels like a wasted opportunity for having it cocoon victims instead of hooking or using facehuggers from relocated eggs, like Amanda Young does with her traps. Why not also allow it to go on walls and ceilings? They kept hinting a character was coming up who could do.
And if it's running at high speed, it should be less stealthier, not more.
Seems like they wasted a lot of potential to make this as unique as it could have been.
Stuff which causes survivors to scream if they're in a terror radius is typically useless. If you're in that range, you're already chasing them, regardless. Like, it's fun for atmophere, but effectively pointless.
Gameplay footage:
Strange that there are wooden closets and stairs, the usual crows and things?
It is iconic though.
it's a good overall killer, very fun, just not a real good representation of the character since it lacks the lifecycle and stealth
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3BwV-yXEAUFGV8?format=jpg&name=4096x4096)
Alien will release with at least 1 skin for Ripley and Alien each, likely based on Aliens
Wtf at least replace the wooden lockers with alien isolation like lockers... lazy
Okay, the Nostromo wreckage idea is cool. Still not enough to draw me back into DbD.
Guys who don't play DbD: Certain objects will always have the same look because they're not naturally from the map. In the game's lore, there's an evil called The Entity and it draws survivors and killers into this realm where they are in trials facing each other. They need to escape by fixing generators until the gates are powered. It also places lockers and pallets around the maps, so they always look the same.
Meta reason: these objects need to be quickly identifiable by the survivors as interactive so they can use them during chases to lose the killer. If every map had different looking interactive objects (specially maps that already have similar objects that aren't interactive) it would be too confusing. This is not an Alien game. It's an Alien chapter inside another game with its own rules. It's not "laziness".

Knight's map has unique models for lockers, chests, pallets and breakable walls actually
I pop in and play this game quite rarely, so I can't say I'm an expert. But a lot of the things you guys are asking for is not as easy or "lazy" as you're making it out to be. This isn't an ALIEN game. It's a game with an ALIEN themed mode. It's built to be its own game first, so a lot of the tiny little things being asked for would be so much extra work or re-coding that it isn't necessary.
Plus, as some mentioned, visual consistency through different levels/modes is important. If I haven't played in a long time and pop onto a new map and everything I need to use looks different, because it now has to look like it's from the ALIEN universe or something, I'm gonna get confused and probably not play due to it getting too visually complicated. If this was a dedicated ALIEN game, yes, absolutely make things look like ALIEN.
A few of you are literally asking for entire game mechanics to be reworked, when you think it's just replacing a visual asset. Xenos crawling on the walls for example, is like nothing any other character would do, which would mean they have to build something brand new from the ground up. Takes time, testing and money, which this DLC is probably not funding a ton of.
The fact that we even got a Xeno in DBD is awesome. But it feels like a lot of you are complaining that a Xenomorph can dance and use guns in Fortnite... because that's the game and how it's played.

What personally disappointed me is the lack of focus in Stealth and no special hook mechanic like what Pyramid Head has, I know how the game works and I'm close to 2k hours in it, I just feel like there were missed opportunities
Anyway, Alien is likely getting a Queen skin according to datamining showng that its animation skeleton has an extra pair of small arms
The tunnels are his stealth mechanic. He's completely undetectable when he's in them and can see survivor's footsteps above him. Plus the Runner mode reduces his terror radius. So even though he might not be Wraith/Ghostface/Pig-type stealth, it still seems like a pretty big part of his kit.

ehh, the tunnels aren't that useful for sneaking up on people, neither is the smaller terror radius (it's 24 meters, pretty big still), so much so the community wants them to make his terror radius even smaller on live

this the realest take that on the whole forum. game development is HARD and the culture of 'armchair dev gamers' needs to stop. I've been seeing so many tweet threads from game devs correcting fans in their assumptions of how game studios spent their resources.
I've got maybe 4 or 5 hours into DbD and its gonna be fun to plug out a few dozen more on the Xeno
And it sucks for looping because players can't tell what is decorative and what is interactive. You basically need Windows of Opportunity on that map.
Would this DLC be "season-based" so it ends at one point or it will live until the game lives?

Even then the characters would still stay in the game though, even if their deal fell apart. The Stranger Things characters are still playable if you got them before a certain point, you just can't buy them or their cosmetics anymore, or play on their map.
And with any luck nothing like that will end up happening again.

nope, not with how BHVR does contracts now
The Alien's mori with full bloody cosmetics looks pretty awesome:

We'll be checking out the PTB for this tomorrow on our stream. YouTube at noon MST
https://twitter.com/DeadbyDaylight/status/1692552098640990384?s=20
Overall I feel better about the chapter rn, still a bit disappointed at the lack of facehuggers and cocooning with the power, could have been at the very least a cosmetic thing with the hooks, and yes it is more than feasible within the game, look at The Pig from Saw or The Executioner/Pyramid Head's power. A theory I saw is that big licenses have simpler to use powers so more casual gamers can get into the game.
Interested to see how they'll do the Queen skin, since it will likely be Hadley's Hope Queen she will be downsized by about 15% (the ingame Alien is a oversized Stompy, even tho lorewise he is Big Chap/Kane's son.)
Just 10 days to go

Queen is all but confirmed, the DBD Alien is taller than a Praetorian and the small arms are animated for it's in power animations.
Also, Queen will most likely have a completely different animation set for the lobby and walking animations, as the arms aren't animated or simply disappear during those. This also happens with the mori, the only time where the arms are animated are during the Runner Mode anims
Doesn't have to be the queen. could be something original.
Although most likely being the Queen, shouldn't there be six back tubes?
Any word on the pricing? Will it be part of the Ultimate Edition retroactively?

2 of them could be attached to the same bones, also it's almost 100% the Queen, as the skin collection might be 100% based on the second movie, with a Warrior and Queen skin for Alien, and maybe a Lieutenant Ripley and Hicks Legendary for Ripley
The Blompkamp Xeno design had two extra little Queen arms in it's chest...
Oh no
Quote from: Mike's Monsters on Aug 21, 2023, 03:54:50 AMThe Blompkamp Xeno design had two extra little Queen arms in it's chest...
Very unlikely to be it, usually when DBD gets a new character that isn't original the collection that comes along is based on the first original entries of the franchise (Cybil and Alessa for Cheryl, Chatterer for Pinhead, Classic skins for Jill and Leon), remember, Ripley is getting 2 skins that are meant to fit with the 2 skins that Alien is also getting, so it's probably both the Lieutenant and Newt's Rescue look for Ripley + Warrior and Queen for Alien
They save the more weird and sometimes original skins for their Halloween events, we might see a "Blight" Xenomorph around October, like some of the last Licensed Killers.

Quote from: Wweyland on Aug 29, 2023, 05:58:22 PMAnyone play it already? Is it good?
yea i think its one of the most fun killers already, but it feels they made the alien slower than what I remember in the test trial
they gave the queen a huge ass
Bought it on Steam, but only managed to play the tutorial. Had some weird "connection lost" errors in the menu as well, but it might have been actually my network hiccups.
Great killer, doomed to be nerfed at some point. Surprised at the nods and love for resurrection in the costume department.
Aliens look great but as one dude said - Ripley ( 8 ) came from Aliexpress. ;D
P.S. Not sure about xeno-clone source. AR?
Most likely inspired by.
Nice to see Alien: Resurrection getting some nods.
They could have done a bald Ripley as well.
Probably in the pipeline. Alien is the biggest franchise they bagged. Bet they are going to make the most of it.
Glad they gave Resurrection some notice. They went wild with this clone skin, similiar to one of hybrids from tubes. Although cowards should just gave us honest Newborn, my beautiful butterfly :)
Those skins are awesome! I really like the deformed clone, it's actually similar to a concept I developed for my Alien RPG table. This would be how the neomorph looks at the end of it's fast paced life cycle.
Do you have to use real money to unlock all the new skins?
That a line Alien is a more lethal fast variation of the NewJorn concept.
I meant that Clone Alien is a more lethal faster variation of the NewBorn concept
Quote from: Wweyland on Aug 30, 2023, 04:24:22 PMDo you have to use real money to unlock all the new skins?
Except for the Aliens Ripley outfit, and the bloody variant of the standard Alien, yes, and quite a lot.
I thought the font was a nice touch. Using the Isolation font..all caps.....single spaces......good use of leading by pxl. white on a .....
'gameplay'. I hope to god there will be a DLC with italix one day. that would be worth double the price. Maybe a stroke effect. a glow possible. i mean if its not in their budget I understand I'll take what they offer at face value. New modified font and all. umm.....and thoughts on gradients on the font (or is that too much cgi)?
I am a bit thrown off that I cannot select a map when playing.
Still familiarizing myself with the somewhat confusing play mechanics.

It's a DNA mutation, of course.
Dead by Daylight does this thing where they release "legendary cosmetic sets", it would be cool to see Hicks or even Bishop added as skins under the Ripley character. I really want Alien 3 Ripley and the Dog Alien to complete the quadrilogy before anything else though. Something that Dead by Daylight does well is introduce horror franchises to people who otherwise would have no interest in watching the movies they are from. I hope the Alien DLC brings more people into the fandom. More Alien fans means more Alien releases ;D

I'm having a hard time enjoying this game. It gets very repetitive. How many times can you put someone on a hook? I guess they expect me to buy the extras to keep it going.
I think it's not so much a binge game, as much as it is a few hours every now and then kind of game.
I'm really digging this new Xeno Clone skin.
It is appropriately gross.

Play for badges/bloodpoints, not for kills
Are there any more game modes besides putting people on hooks?
Quote from: Wweyland on Sep 17, 2023, 05:08:10 PMAre there any more game modes besides putting people on hooks?
Nope, if you want more variety you can play for the Rift Challenges or wait for events, such as the upcoming Halloween one
Now I checked the game's Metacritic score and I'm not surprised:
https://www.metacritic.com/game/dead-by-daylight/critic-reviews/?platform=pc
A serious version of the game would be great. Imagine Isolation with a multiplayer mode. The Alien can or cannot be controlled by a player, that's optional. But multiple people trying to survive against that AI and escape a map would be great. Maybe only one player has a flamer. Or all of them do, but the ammo is very limited, there are a million and one combinations.

But that's Alien Isolation, not DBD
The game is missing some brutal and creative kills

Yeah, Alien, Singularity, Hag and Oni are the only ones with really good kills that also have gore involved in some way

It kinda hard to do that if you bad at the game, and the Survivors taunt you. This game can bring out the beast in you.
It's worth noting the Alien tail hitbox is currently buggy, so try out some other kills meanwhile, get them to prestige 1 to unlock their perks for Alien
Alien will be getting a Blight skin

Definitely curious to see how that one looks.

Is there any possibility of the Predator appearing?
Quote from: Wweyland on Sep 20, 2023, 01:03:17 PMIs there any possibility of the Predator appearing?
Predator is a matter of when for this game, not if, expect him to show up within the next year
It might be this year because the next title update is going to be a license character we don't know who but I think it's a possibility.
They might want to take a small breather from AvP and release someone else.

Can we speculate on what Predator ability might be?
Way ahead of you
QuoteThe Predator is a stealth killer that has a semi constant lullaby while cloaked (his clicking sounds)
Predator can press Ctrl to activate his Cloak, while cloaked the Predator gains his lullaby and can still use his M1 and Mouse 2 whenever he wants, he becomes almost completely invisible but gains no speed bonus, missed attacks don't remove the Cloak, but successful hits do.
Press Mouse 2 to activate Heat Vision, while Heat vision is active, anything that produces heat will be highlighted to the Predator and scratch-marks are replaced by footprints, survivors can counter this by covering themselves in mud, which will hide their heat, but their footsteps will still be visible.
the Predator's m1 attack is replaced by Plasma Caster while Heat Vision is active, Plasma Caster can be charged up to 3 times, with no Charge Plasma Caster is a map wide Projectile with no fall off that can damage only one target at once for one health state. The Caster can be charged to up to 3 seconds, at 1 second the Caster creates a small explosion, damaging everyone within for 1 health state, at 2 seconds the blast is increased and will damage generators and destroy breakables within it, and 3 seconds the blast is once again increased, and direct hitting a survivor will instantly put them into the dying state.
Plasma Caster and Heat Vision will both consume the power gauge. The power gauge will not recharge if cloak is being used.
Blood Sport
Blood sport determines the worthiness of your prey during the trial, as the trial moves on, survivors will gain Honor for completing generators, stunning you, taking protection hits, rescuing other survivors, this is determined by a bar around their portrait that only you can see, once the Honor bar is filled, the Predator's reticle will appear over that survivor's portrait for all to see, after that the Predator can take them to a hook and skin them alive no matter how many times they were hooked prior, this not only gives the Predator a huge amount of bloodpoints, but also fills him with pride in his hunt, giving him 5% haste and increased gauge regeneration for the next minute.
Skinning a survivor takes the honor of all other survivors away by 25%
Survivors lose a bit of honor when being grabbed out of lockers, blinding you(flashlight saves dont count), healing mid chase and covering themselves in mud within your sight.

The ability to slowly walk after the humans to put them on hooks.
Man, with everyone telling behavior that the Xenomorph has a bug, they decided to silently Nerf him. What a great dev team, it's like they're doing the opposite of fixing things

Those are pretty cool Idea you have there.
The bug actually came with the nerf instead of being there before it, the alien was working perfectly before the patch 2 weeks ago, in the last PTB the bug not only got fixed but the way the tail worked changed, making the recovery faster, so it will be a buff once the halloween update drops in 1-2ish weeks

It wasn't for me...really isn't my kind of game, although I'm obviously into Alien and Predator.
Will try again when Predator arrives, but briefly.
Probably some kind of Jungle map then?

DBD isn't for everyone, getting into playing as killer is harder than as survivor (since as surv you can always play with friends)
I found being the Killer easier, but did not win many rounds though.
Sometimes, I wasn't even sure who exactly won a round, when I killed 3/4 of the survivors for example.

0-1 kill = loss
2 kills = tie
3-4 kills = win
They fix the xenomorph tail bug.
So how would you rate this mod (DLC) for anyone waiting for a real alien franchise game in comparison with whats out there? Is it a 'just a dlc' from a maker who didn't intend for this engine to be the be all end of for all horror movie tie-in in the gaming market?
Is it polished and worth coming back again and again to?
It's pretty good as an alien experience, assuming you are familiar with DBD
It's a relatively short experience though. And difficult to get the Nostromo map, as the map is random.

you can always use the map offering, besides, Alien is one of the few killers in the game that basically fits in all if not every map in it, thanks to games, comics and novels placing them in every kind of setting
True, although to get an authentic experience, you would need the Alien on Nostromo with at least one Ripley playing against.

God damn it, why can't it be sooner. At least the people at the PC port are having fun.
I have a idea for predator, and it is going to be controversial.
What if we able to change the power of Predator like with survivors with flashlights med kits and tools kit but permanent.
Do you something like
plasma shooter
Net
Spear
Wrist blades
Mask vision.
Yeah this is probably insane not in a good way
there is an video that revealed what the killer is. I did post to video but I feel like that was crossing the rules so I removed it.

Bots dodge the tail better than real players, I recommend playing against real people, I know it can be frustrating but limiting yourself to bots is horrible

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Oct 16, 2023, 07:26:04 AMDBD players, remind me again, what's the lore behind the blight, or the hallowed version of the blight?
this could help with The Blight aka Talbot Grime
And about the blight skins they are in the lore, characters who were injected with the blight serum. So the blight got in contact with the xenomorph and somehow injected the xeno with the serum and that how we got this Blight skin
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Oct 16, 2023, 07:26:04 AMDBD players, remind me again, what's the lore behind the blight, or the hallowed version of the blight?
The short version is that a man once brought into the entity's realm, an alchemist by the name of the Talbot, came upon a yearly infection that affected the realms, this caused vines and flowers to grow all around, these flowers, called of Pustulas, had a nectar within that was supernatural in nature, Talbot experimented with it, and also experimented how it reacted with different beings, at first testing it on the killers that he managed to capture, the serum would have not just biological, but supernatural effects on it's hosts, affecting their appearance beyond just their body. Eventually the alchemist tested the serum on himself, and became addicted to it, to the point he sold his soul to the entity to get an endless supply of the flowers, he then constantly injected himself and became the killer The Blight, he still kept on experimenting on other killers, to see what effects it might have on them, including licensed killers
This can be read on his lore tome and videos:

Agree my dude, it might be difficult to implement t-800 into the gameplay of DBD because T-800 usually use guns while most of the killers in the game mainly used knifes or claws. The only one who has a gun is the deathslinger and his gun is a harpoon gun.

I don't know how to feel about that idea, I feel like giving the T 800 a gun would make him more unique among the roster and he could very well shoot the survivors like trickster does with his knives.

I think you're on to something
Seem like chapter 30 has the potential to be a Saw chapter 2. I didn't expect this but I don't really like it
I think a second Saw chapter was debunked. Looks like the announcement might be next week now after they finish the current haunting event.
Good, because it would have been lame

After Kane had too much Pumpkin.
This is the base Xeno we have ingame after being forcefully injected with blight serum, we can see one of them still hanging from it's back
Whelp, my bad. Looks like it's going to be Chucky, despite most of the DBD YouTubers saying Predator was most likely. Hopefully we still get him next year with a new map and survivor.
I mean chucky is cool, but not as cool as Predator
IGN just leaked Chucky's trailer early
Don't f**k with the Chuck.
Would have loved to see Predator of course, but I'm definitely ok with Chucky being added to the roster. He deserves to be among the ranks of his fellow horror icons.
OK maybe I was a little too hard on chucky, he is pretty cool. Sure wish that his scars was on base
I'm sure they'll probably have a skin with the scarred version. Especially since there's a Tiffany skin confirmed.

When the predators eventually come to the DBD should it be lore accurate? We know for a fact that honorable predators wouldn't dare to harm unarmed civilians so if the predator does harm the survivors it wouldn't be lore accurate but we can borrow stuff from the comics like the bad blood predator. this predator is like he was made for this game, not only he killed innocent civilians but he also cannibalized his own kind. He also use his bad ass sword to kill his victims Close and personal.

I'm all for some of that crazy Bad Blood Predator. But probably it will just be a regular one.
You could still say that the "survivors" are out to harm the Predator, in any way they can.

The entity will give the survivor guns, but it turns out the mag is out of bullets.
Is there Any niche license what do you want to be in DBD?

Not super niche anymore, but i'd love to see Art the Clown from
Terrifier added to the roster some day.
I think he's a new horror/slasher icon and deserves to be amongst the ranks of the other iconic killers in DBD.
Maybe now that Chucky is in the game, it could open the door for Puppet Master somehow too.

I haven't watch Terrifier and puppet master, but I did heard a lot of wonderful things about those properties and I'm sure they'll be welcomed with open arms when they come to DBD. For me I think Dead Space Hunter would make a good pick for DBD. I actually thought about event Horizon being a map within DBD as however for the killer I would like things to be a little more different and unique
Spoiler
I would like to see the entire map as the killer, something like that Multiplayer RE game

Dead Space would be a cool addition to their inclusion of horror game properties for sure! Would love to see Isaac as a survivor in the game. Especially since they've been recently including more sci-fi based properties.
That's an interesting idea for Event Horizon! I can't really imagine them adding such a drastically different mechanic to the game like that, but it would be a welcome new change-up for sure.
Admittedly, I have no idea about this game since I've never played it. it looks cool.
But of course it's not an alien game and is therefore limited in its presentation when it comes to the xeno.
but what I see in this Alien chapter makes me go back to my early dreams of having a game where the player can play the alien.
not the AvP games but a pure alien game.
So to speak, alien isolation from the alien's point of view, perhaps.
Just like the Gollum game, only in a good way.
Predator Hunting Grounds for Alien but mainly as a single player with a multiplayer option. A:CM could actually have been this game but...well
Any word on the Predator chapter?
No, behaviors is now lip shut about this. They usually are because they want to keep it as a surprise.
I'm hoping for a Alien chapter rift that has some more alien themed charms and cosmetics.
Like a runner skin for xeno and a bald Alien 3 skin for Ripley. Or an Amanda Ripley Legendary skin.
We've seen other licensed chapters get a rift inclusion somewhat recently, like Ash from Evil Dead, and a Saw themed rift, so I don't think it's outside of possibility. Alien 3 was surprisingly the only film entry of the original 4 that didn't get any inclusion, so it kind of leads me to believe that it might just be saved for later. And Amanda Ripley would make sense with how much the xeno is clearly based on Stompy, as well as DBD's inclusion of other horror game properties like Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
We did get kind of spoiled with the base Alien chapter I feel, from a fan service perspective, but I hope this isn't the last we see of inclusion in the game!

I'm hoping they won't do the xeno the same fate as Freddy
Quote from: Thatguy2068 on Dec 18, 2023, 04:12:46 PMI'm hoping they won't do the xeno the same fate as Freddy
Same here
Tbf tho, 3 skins to start with, and a very good blight skin soon after, is pretty generous. Freddy just has gotten absolutely nothing since the beginning unfortunately :/
Speaking of, it's a long shot, but I'd love for them to give Freddy a full visual rework and bring Robert Englund in to do some voice lines like we've gotten with Pinhead and Chucky/Tiffany.
I've also been begging to get a visual overhaul on Myers to make him look more film accurate as well. Would also maybe love to get some cosmetics for him from some of the other films. Was kind of surprised there wasn't any kind of inclusion of the recent trilogy of films.

Did you saw the 2010 remake of Elm Street because from what I heard with big spoilers.
Spoiler
Freddy is a convicted pedophile
If this is true then yeah I'd rather have Robert Englund

[close]

I haven't seen it in many years, but yeah I remember that being a heavily implied, if not outright spoken, detail about Freddy in that film.
Even outside of that, Englund is just the original iconic Freddy, and the remake is vastly inferior to the original films. So it would just feel right and preferable to have Englund be the representative of the character in the game.
But I think the rights for the series are all legally tied up, which I'm sure is why they opted to get the rights of the remake, and why we haven't seen any new cosmetics or additions.
So Freddy has the same problem as Jason as of now?

Not quite. From what I understand, the Elm Street rights returned to the Wes Craven estate, and there have been talks of trying to resurrect it, but they're just literally not doing anything with it.
The F13 rights I believe are tied up in legal murkiness between the original writer and the director of the first film, following a legal battle that ended a few years ago.

Crap, so we gotta wait until Warner Bros do something with Freddy.
Ripley got a cute sweater for the Christmas event

Is that an additional purchase?
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 19, 2023, 11:59:31 AMIs that an additional purchase?
Yes, they'll typically always charge for anything involving licensed characters. But I believe it's very cheap at least.
Like 250 of the in-game currency I think ($2.50 US).
