BHVR, what would you do if..?

You had the chance to add real serial killers to the game? Im talking about someone like the BTK or Ed Kemper. Would you do it or would you just let go of that chance? I mean... Movies are made about them but I've never seen a game in which they take a serious role.

And also, would you add killers from novels, comic books or animated shows? Say someone like Kevin from Sin City or The Joker?

    Yeah real life serial killers they'd just be asking for trouble. Killers based on other forms of entertainment such as comics/novels would be neat but probably wouldn't have the infamy to make good sales where people would spend real money on them.

    I sincerely doubt they'd ever do that. They have stated in the past that The Creeper (from Jeepers Creepers) wouldn't be considered because the director of the movie was an awful person (pedophilia charges). The Creeper himself isn't directly involved in any wrong-doing.

    I can't imagine if they wouldn't let The Creeper in because the director of his movie was an awful person that they would turn around and let actual awful people in as killers...

    Imagine the negative press bhvr would get when they released the teaser for their new Ted Bundy killer strangling a female survivor.


    the disrespect that would show families of real violence is insane.

    should never be allowed in any video game. It would be sensationalizing actual death.

    He wasn’t talking about that he was actually talking about what if they added people like Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy or Jeffry Dalmar

    That's my point.

    Creeper itself did nothing wrong, the director of the movies was a bad person.

    Someone like Bundy himself was the bad person. If they wouldn't consider letting The Creeper in the game, whose only crime is his director was a piece of ######### human into the game, it would be very unlikely that they would even consider letting an ACTUAL piece of ######### human like a real life serial killer in the game.

    I agree they will never be added but there has to be a way to get Jeepers Creepers into this game without talking to the director there’s got to be another way

    Adding recent serial killers would be a massive no no. Historical ones, like around 200 - 150 years ago would be at least somewhat acceptable.

    The issue is that if you add recent killers, you're essentially giving more attention to their victims as well. I'm sure their families would sue BHVR out of business for doing something like that.

    I would literally boycott if they did that. Everyone would, are you kidding me? Our society already does enough to immortalize those pieces of #########, making them playable video game characters crosses a line. No ######### way.

    Many Killers have similarities to real life serial killers. Compare Clown with John Wayne Gacy if you will.

    But yeah they will never add real life people for obvious reasons for which I am thankful
