Resident Evil fans reading this, this is for you.
Let’s say a miracle happened and a resident evil chapter was created for dbd.
Who would you want for the killer, map and survivor(s)? and why would you want them?
As cool as william birkins would be, he wouldn’t fit due to extreme mutation. so i would have to go with Mr X, complete badass.
As for survivor i would have to go with Claire redfeild. i don’t think anyone outdoes her, not even jill.
And for the map i think the obvious choice is Raccoon City Police Department.
What about you guys?

I rather have Nemesis. more iconic, will bring more people.
and Jill valentine.
even if Leon and Claire are my personal favorites, not having Jill or Chris would be wrong.
also, I feel like I'm the only RE fan that doesn't care at all about mr.X :p

Raccoon PD would absolutely have to be the map, OR the Spencer Estate. There's no other options. As much of a fangirl as I am for the entire series, with lots and lots of wonderful set pieces. There's just none that instill that fangasm as much as either of those locations do.
If I had to guess I'd say Racoon PD would more than likely be the map used. They LOVE revisiting Racoon PD. Over and over and over and over again. RE2 and 3, the remakes, Operation Racoon City, RE:Verse (Eugh) You get the point.
For Killer I'd love me some Mr. X but he's too tall for this game. There's no way they'd rework the maps specifically for him. Same thing with Nemesis. We can't do any of the monster mobs like Lickers, they're too brainless and not slasher material. For Killer I'd assume Lisa Trevor or Albert Wesker.
Albert Wesker is way too communicative, and OP by design so I don't know how they'll make him a killer in this game. (They could make it work though.) Lisa Trevor would be super dope and honestly right on course for DBD. I don't know if it has as much marketability since I fear a lot of fans who only played the games that weren't tank based movement would go "Who the eff is that?" I mean she wasn't even the main villain in her own game.
The killer I would hate to see in this game but one that would make total sense would be Jack Baker from RE7. He would fit in perfectly but I wouldn't want to really play as another chainsaw class.
For survivor I'd want Claire or Rebecca.
I'd say we're probably going to get Chris for the meme potential (Boulder Puncher) and because he's the OG survivor. Jill potentially, she is a great character but she's middle tier for me. (In Re3 Remake she had a healthy dose of PTSD though so that's fun!) I can't say we should expect to see Ada or Leon, they haven't really even had cameo's of either of then in RE7 or 8. For some reason they're really focusing on Chris.
I can't imagine Rebecca being the survivor because that isn't really as marketable, she only existed in RE0, 1 and Mercenaries Reunion.
Claire I'd want because... well Claire is the best! (Except Revelations 2. I hate how they retconned the ######### out of her character for Moira's sake.)

Ideally, I would want an approach similar to Silent Hill, which means deliberate care to get representation from multiple games, instead of just packing Resident Evil 2 representation in for everything.
IMO the best overall fit is:
The original Resident Evil mansion for the map (RE representation)
Claire Redfield as Survivor (RE2 representation)
Nemesis as the Killer (RE3 representation)
Mr X is a very strong candidate, but he is extremely specific to the RE2 Remake. (he was in the original, but his role was completely different) He was great in that, but Nemesis has a greater and more iconic legacy, even if he was underwhelming in the RE3 Remake (like the game in general). My only reservation is his more batshit elements like the rocket launcher, but that doesn't need to be represented in his gameplay. It's also worth noting that Mr X has far less gameplay mechanic potential than Nemesis IMO.
For a lot of the other stuff, Resident Evil's action elements would need to be kept in check and monitored. IMO using the original Resi's mansion and using Claire helps keep that spooky feeling, as opposed to bringing in the boulder-punching memelord that is Chris for example. (there's also the slight issue that Chris MIGHT be a villain in 8, based on the trailers)
My only true reservations is that this unfortunately does not directly reference some other great aspects of the Resident Evil franchise, like 4 or 7, but those can be referenced through other means. (eg. Nemesis' addons being a cornucopia of references to the series' various bioweapons from multiple games)

i think logically spencer estate would be better but rpd would definitely be the right choice.
I see what you mean about mr x being too big for the series but in stranger things demogorgon was over 3 metres tall and they managed to make demo work, i’m sure they could work something out for mr x aswell. Also also based on the size of there models deathslinger would be 2.07m and oni would be over 2.13m so i don’t think mr x’s size would be an issue.
I think jill and chris would be the best option aswell as it would draw more people in but with the release of RE: Infinite Darkness Clair and Leon will be back in it so i wouldn’t be surprised if Claire and Leon were the survivors.

Wesker can definitely be worked with. We saw a "powered-down" version of him in the RE0 HD rerelease, remember. All he had there was his speed charge thing, and eye lasers (lol). So I feel there's potential. And as far as iconic RE villains - non-bio weapons - go, is there one bigger than Wesker? He was the big, over-arching bad through RE5 and his presence has still lingered after. (And imagine if BE dared go the Ash route and give us just a little, like, lobby interaction with him and we got some D.C. Douglas voice lines mixed in like in RE0?)
Map: I think that's gotta be the RPD. Again, as far as iconic RE locations... I don't think even the Spencer Estate tops the RPD.
Survivor: Trying to think about this pragmatically, I seem to recall once upon a time Capcom saying Leon was their most profitable character, so maybe him? But then, we haven't honestly seem much of him since the REmake2 so maybe that's no longer true. If you want to go thematically, I say Chris because Chris and Wesker have that whole arch-rival thing. Personally though, if it were just up to me, Claire or Jill, thems my girls.

I would like to have Nemesis or Mr. X as Killer (Nemesis because he is the most iconic and ideal for a RE episode) and (Mr. X because he is my favorite villain and it is very scary that he chases you for what can also be a very possible candidate for DbD).
As a survivor, I don't care if it's Jill Valentine, but the one I want to have the most is Leon Kennedy, even if he's not a S.T.A.R.S, I would like to have him as a survivor with Jill or Claire, as happened with Steve and Nancy in their DLC.
I'd like the Racoon City police station as a map.

Survivor — Rebecca Chambers
Killer — Morpheus
Map — St. Michael Clock Tower
I'm all for the lesser known aspects of RE getting a bit of appreciation. That and seeing headstrong characters like Claire or Leon get trounced without a chance to fight back feels so weird.

"The og resident evil mansion"
As much as i would hate another indoor map, its either the Spencer Mansion or the RPD, Racoon city streets would be my choice, but the other two are more iconic.
"Claire Redfield as Survivor"
I see no reason besides laziness for bhvr to not add Leon and Claire together, just like in the Stranger Things chapter, plus both of them have good cosmetic potential and even better legendary set potential, like steve from code veronica, Chris, Carlos, maybe even Ethan, and for Claire; Rebecca, Ada or Jill.
"Nemesis as the Killer"
With this one I agree, Nemesis have the more power potential compared to MrX or T-002, plus he can have MrX or T-002 cosmetics.
