Fun Ideas for DbD
OKAY -- Here's some silly fun ideas for DBD that I think would just be FUN. Please dont overthink this, or come at it from a meta stand point or poopoo "tHiS wOuLd NeVer wORk" -- its just meant to be a FUN discussion of ideas. ((Istg i made a post saying what kind of like "stats" should survivors have to make their play styles more unique, like jeff getting an extra hit because mfker is HUGE, or Meg having 3% MS since shes a literal track runner, and everyone just took it so seriously))
CLASSIC MONSTERS/ CLASSIC HORROR MODE:
So monsters like Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein, Mummy, etc are all public domain and they dont require licenses and I think would be just fun killer additions to the game--and to make it even MORE fun, make a temporary mode to make the screen black and white like an old horror movie! Maybe for a Halloween event or something. Im well aware of the snowballs hell in chance for this haha but as a big horror game I'd love to see some classic horror characters--even if it was just skins or a special visual change for a special Halloween event.
FINAL GIRL MODE:
I know there's been a talk about like a 8vs2 mode but honestly in a LOT of horror movies what do you always see? A coward slimeball completely throwing his friends under the bus to save their own skin. Imagine a game mode were ONLY ONE survivor can get out--so pallet stuns, blinds, etc would all work on OTHER survivors, so your ultimate goal would be to be the ONLY one to escape. I honestly would LOVE this. I think it would be a great game MODE to have, where you aren't working together, it is TRUE soloQ and you are aimed to get OUT. For this mode it would likely not have any gens at all, and instead would focus on stealth/running looping or having some other kind of objective like finding a key or tool to escape via hatch/door((Since cooperative action will be no longer a mechanic, gens wouldn't be necessary)) And the hunter would hunt as they normally do, once one survivor is left they just have to get out so long as they have the key/tool collected (can be looted off a body if someone else already got one)
CUSTOM SOUNDS:
So I know theres like special skins and mods for perks and stuff just for visual differences while in menu but I would love like special audio. Instead of a THWACK sound when you stun a killer imagine a silly bike horn honk. Or a duck quack noise. Or a drag race noise when you activate sprint burst. I personally would love that! I know its a "horror" game and "immersion" is a thing but DO NOT LIE TO ME that BHVR cares about immersion. That went out the window when they gave us a killer running around in a thong and bunny suit skins, not to mention the ability to hide in snowman suits and high five eachother.
ADDTNL EMOTES:
I would give up A PERK SLOT just to be able to have some more emotes. Like instead of a perk, the slot is an emote. Does it serve a purpose? Nope. But IMAGINE just DABBING on the killer or doing the worm in the exit gate. IMO, 10/10 worth the sacrifice of only playing with 2 useable perks just to emote lol.
