Legendary Skins that would be absolutely Metal
Last night I had one of those quick ideas, that you only get before falling asleep and usually forget about by the next morning. Luckily I took the time to write a note, so the idea could not get lost in Limbo. Now I would like to know what others think about it.
So, a few days ago I've seen someone comparing Wraith's new skin 'Phantom of Vengeance' to 'The Guy' (The mascot of the Metal Band Disturbed). Thinking about this, I've wondered: Many Metal Bands have great and iconic Album Cover Monsters, that fit the general aesthetics of DbD...
What if we had some of them as legendary skins for Killers? We already got Licensed Characters from Movies, Games, Netflix Originals... why should we stop at music? Though the character's origin should be respected. We can't just take an Album Cover Monster and leave the music out, can we? Now what if the killer had some alternative chase music while wearing the skin? Or maybe some extra sound effects, like hearing a short guitar riff when hitting a survivor or a solo during the animation of the final sacrifice. I don't know. Maybe I'm going over board with this idea. Not everyone is into Metal and not everyone would enjoy having Metal in the game. But I think it would be fine if the extra sounds and alternative chase music could only be heard by the killer. If he runs the skin, he chooses to have those extra sound effects. So I guess this would be fine.
(Plus: For each band, that's featured in DbD, Jeff could get a matching concert shirt. If you would wear the shirt and the Killer was running a Metal skin too, it would allow you to hear the Metal Sound Effects even while playing survivor.)
To be honest, I'm not a big Metal fan myself. I just had this idea and wanted to get it out there. What do you think? Are there Album Cover Monsters that you would love to play as or against? Is there a band which you would like to have in DbD? Or do you think this is going way too far and Behaviour should stick to movie and game franchises?
I'd love to hear some opinions on it.
