Thoughts on the up and coming new asymmetrical Friday the 13th game?
Yeah there's a new one, it's too bad the lawsuit only got settled after the original died but I'm interested.
Do you guys think it will actually contend with DBD or go the way just about every other asymmetrical horror game has gone?

Tbh if it's anything like the original, it might. I feel as though the original was a good deal different to dbd, enough that if you got bored of one title, you could play the other without it feeling too similar.
That being said, this new one could just be a dbd clone for all I know, I'll have to look into it some more.

They are making another one? PLEASE tell me Gun Media has nothing to do with it

I hope Gun has nothing to do with it if so the first game was so fun tho.

There's been literally zero confirmation that it's asymmetrical. This is pure speculation.

What's wrong with Gun Media?

I genuinely do think this new game has a shot at rivaling DBD. Afterall the original was the only asym to actually compete with it and it mostly failed due to licensing.

Gun media devs are some of the rudest people ive seen lmao, they should not be talking to there community like that. dont know if thats what the commenter meant tho

It won't. No game will except maybe DBD 2 (lmao).
Also F13th was long "dead" before the lawsuit happened. That was the last straw.

If that's the case I wouldn't want them to be involved with the game either.

Dunno. If it has the same development team as the previous one I won't be touching it with a ten-foot pole. I was an avid supporter of the original game and the way the developers handled it was atrocious. Their subsequent projects have been equally ill-fated.

Yep. Not sure where the whole "the lawsuit killed the game" thing came from. F13 was on its last legs long before the legal trouble.

The issue was in a lobby with… 8? 9? people, voluntary survivor queues would basically always be an issue because too many people want to play the killer role. It needed twice as many survivors as DBD does per capita, and without the caveat that the killer can't play in a group with their friends (which is a big part of why survivor population always goes up in the evening.)
IIRC it was random, but you could select if you wanted to play Jason or counsellor and that would weight your odds of being picked.
On topic, I'm interested but have low expectations. The game will have both DBD and the nostalgia goggles on the old F13 to compete with, in addition to virtually nothing in the asymm genre surviving the test of time. They're all great fun at first but fall apart once people minmax the game and it turns into a meta fest, and in that regard, DBD seems the only one to have survived the test of the game growing stale and the death knell of mismanagement; there's a sizable pile of dead challengers at its feet nowadays.

Not only that but they also published the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game which is filled with highly expensive micro transactions.

What new up and coming F13 game?

There's two being made, one is multiplayer so it probably will be

It was random but you could set a preference. Both sides were fun though and it helped with que times, without it everybody would only ever play as Jason.

The two license holders are working together now and there's two games in the work. One is single player and the other will be multiplayer.
They also want him to appear in other stuff so we might get Jason in Dead by Daylight.

Source...?

Will probably be another great game which dies more or less quickly depending on the updates it gets.
At this point i think only 1 license = not surviving for long.

Big fan of the last one, especially since you could escape solo if your team was just there to dick around. And a coordinated group could stop the killer. 2v8 reminds me a lot of FT13, except miserable to play.

If it's done right - and I hope it would be in the hands of a competent team - hopefully it will do well, both in terms of the franchise's legacy and in success.
Any comparison to DBD though would ruin it. DBD won't be beaten, nor threatened by this. It won't have the flexibility and pulling power. It would work better if people stopped comparing or bigging it up against DBD, and instead focus on the merits the game offers.
Basically it won't compare, but if it's allowed to breathe without comparison and follows its own course, it may do well.
