FNaF in DbD
I personally believe FNaF would work in DbD, FNaF is not just about the jump scares. When I used to play it I always thought the scariest part of the game was being held in one position while watching your impending doom approach you slowly but surely. That slow tension build up of the animatronics getting closer and closer to you to the point where they are right outside your door. All you have to save yourself is a metal door that’s losing power the longer it’s closed. The main animatronics in FNaF would not work in dead by daylight, that’s just obvious as they aren’t actually murderers it’s just an angry child who was murdered that wants some revenge.
Then there’s springtrap, a springlock suit that has a somehow living corpse inside of it whom is a child murdering phycopath that lured children into the dark parts of a pizzeria proceeding to murder them and stuff them inside of the animatronics that sung the songs to them at their favourite place to go to. Only being powered by the purple guy possessing it.
Forget about the fanbase, forget about the jumpscares, forget about the overwhelming amount of lore that was obviously forced into the game by Game Theory. Think about the actual idea of Springtrap and what he is.
I personally think it’s terrifying, what springtrap is and what he looks like.
But if you think it’s weird that they would add a rabbit looking character into the game of dbd and think it wouldn’t fit have you seen the newest cosmetics for legion?? Or the clown elephant skin?
Anyways that’s just my opinion on this whole “Should FNaF be in DbD or not” discussion, what do you all think? Hopefully I changed some peoples minds on their views :)

Can you give me a reason though?

It's target audience is / was younger kids. it's fanbase is terrible and cringy, no one wants any of that stuff in DbD except the kids who grew up watching Pewdipie and Markiplier playing it back when they were 12.

I agree, I’m just saying in general I think that FNaF would not be a terrible decision. It would also be great for marketing as it would bring a lot of people into the dbd playerbase, I’m sure all those cringy kids have grown up somewhat. At least I hope :/

Did you read the post I made? try to ignore those facts and think about the actual idea of FNaF in dbd, it’s not like there aren’t other somewhat childish things in dbd

Yeah... the "idea" is stupid.

No. ######### fnaf and springtrap.

Alright, well I can come up with a power and map, I can think some perks tomorrow as it’s late where I am located and I’m tired. The map would be fazbears fright (the map from FNaF 3) and it would not have the exact same layout obviously. I don’t think any other map would work in DbD as it’s a simple pizzeria while the FNaF 3 map is more “atmospheric’. He could have two powers, one for chase as that’s important in my books as I’m a killer main, simple looping is boring. And one to pressure gens or keep surveillance on survivors. The chase power could be where he activated his power his springlock locks up and he stands in place for a sec, his eyes turn red then he charges at 5.0 mps or something like that. Everything is in a light grey tint giving him a bit of night vision and survivors are highlighted in a glowing red and their footsteps are shown in red on the ground giving him greater tracking than just scratch marks, they can be seen with and without running. You press the power button again to do a semi shorter demo shred that cannot destroy pallets. When doing this lunge his red glow would go way brighter, maybe. Giving survivors a small indicator of his lunge. While typing I just had an idea for his secondary power, it fits in with his lore of ‘stuffing dead children into suits’. When you down a survivor you can pick them up as normal and bring them to a locker, you throw them inside of that locker and it can act like a hook that takes a little bit longer to be fully sacrificed. While in this locker no other survivor can see their aura and the survivor cannot see others aura. That survivor in the locker will have muffled cries of pain a bit louder than an injured survivor hiding in one. It is a search for where that survivor is bleeding out inside of the locker. The only indication of where the survivor could be is from when they were first downed and the noises they make. This can be great for gen pressure as survivors will take time to find the survivor inside the locker.
sorry if this is really complicated I can simplify it tomorrow. And obviously it’s not perfect, just what I came up with while typing

I think the reason why he asked is to see if I could actually come up with something for this killer, if you can’t come up with a power or anything for the killer then they should definitely not be in the game. Also people say that the FNaF community is toxic and you say it’s cringe n stuff. You don’t seem to be any more different with how you are reacting to my post, maybe just calm down and understand that other people can have different viewpoints on stuff too

You're right, people can have different opinions. That doesn't mean that FNAF stuff belongs in DBD though.

Still you are very rude about it all, I haven’t gone through much of the FNaF x DbD topic I just heard there was commotion about it and wanted to say my opinion, in one of your comments you say it’s “Bullsh*t” which I think is kinda low

Heh yeah that doesn’t sound too well balanced
0 -
No, sorry
2 -
Alright, can you tell me why it would not be that great though
0 -
Lol alright goodnight. I’m still waiting for someone to give me a reason as to why he should not be in the game other than the fanbase and the jumpscares and not to the actual character itself
0 -
Yeah I get that I'm coming off across harsh but its because I am. That type of stuff doesnt belong in DBD and the 50 threads created daily from FNAF fans is ridiculous. Every thread is the same thing, everyone saying no and the small group of people making the posts saying yes.

I think FNaF is too childish for DBD and I wouldn’t like to see it happen. However, I know what it’s like to really want something in a game, so I won’t stomp on anyone’s dreams here. Nothing wrong with holding onto hope, even if others don’t agree with your view.

Anyway, the devs already said they would love to do FNAF in DBD if they got the chance. I would be fine either way as i want a machine killer. I don't really think the worries of the FNAF community coming here is such a big issue tbh. Once they get their arses handed to them by SWF or killerss, they will leave very soon after.

I highly doubt it's target audiance was supposed to be kids, the fanbase made the game bad but ignoring that it's still a great horror genre and I think would be a welcomed addition.

Oh look, another FNAF thread. It's not like we already have multiple threads about this topic.
1 -
You most likely wont. I've debunked almost every argument about why it wouldn't fit and people will just hang on to their opinions, which is fine, but there's really nothing concrete that would say FNAF wouldn't fit in DBD.
2 -
I wish the arguments against FNaF x DbD were more reasonable than "the fanbase is cringe!!!" (who cares?) "it's a game for kids!!!" (lol it really is not). Like if you feel it doesn't "fit" or whatever then you do you but bringing the totally unrelated "cringe" fanbase into the topic, or saying that a game where kids were murdered and the protagonist dies every time you fail is made "for children" is a bit ehh.
Also, I was already an adult when the first FNaF game was released and I think it being added into DbD would be awesome, yeah. It's a different kind of horror for sure but the fact that the ones who hyped it on YouTube were children doesn't make it "childish", in fact I don't even know why 8 year olds were allowed to watch such a thing in the first place. Also what even is wrong with things being childish lol look at the Robbie the Rabbit skins or that elephant clown skin.

As someone who isn't a fan of the five nights games, I don't see a problem with it. I specifically looked up the third game just to see what people were even talking about, and the map has potential imo. It could be really interesting. As for the Killer, I think it could work, but they'd have to come up with something creative to make it unique and interesting.
I think fun gameplay would trump everything else at the end of the day. No idea or concept will convince people who are opposed by nature. And I think most of the people who are really against the addition are likely kids or teens themselves who don't want their "grown-up killer game" associated with "little kid cringe" like five nights. I think that's a silly mindset, but there's not a lot that can be done about it either. They're entitled to their opinions.
Idk... It could be cool. Could be awful. All depends on implementation I suppose.

This guy/gal knows what's up.

There are plenty of people here saying yes and no, some dont even like the franchise but think it would work. The only reason that all the people said no to FNaF in DbD is the fanbase and apparently its too childish when it really isnt
2 -
I think it would be cool.

I think people definitely over exaggerate the issue. I've seen the argument "It would bring all of the Fortnite kids over" thousands of times, and it never gets more valid. People forget that Ninja (the fortnite guy) played DbD once, and would you look at that; No Fortnite kids came! No body even noticed. Even if FNaF did fall into the children's category, what would make it any different?
