Whatever happened to old killers getting unique TR/chase music?
If I remember correctly the original plan was to update all older killers(assumably except Trapper and Freddy(due to his license not really allowing much) with their own unique TR.
It has been 2 years since the last time an older killer got a unique TR, being Nurse. IIRC the TR was meant to come whenever a killer would receive some tweaks.
Pig, Plague, Bubba and Huntress have all received numerous tweaks since then yet still have the standard TR.
Is this still something that BHVR plans to do or it canceled or something?

I can understand Pig, Bubba and Freddy cases, because maybe there are some license reasons preventing them getting new chase musics.
But some of the original and older killers I don't understand why didn't they got new chase musics at this point. My main problem is not the chase music from the survivor POV, my problem is the chase music from the killer POV. I started playing the game in 2018 and never liked the chase music from the killer POV, specially one of them sound too goofy in my opinion and all of them are very uninspired and they aged like the milk in the sun in July. Also, after seven years playing they have even became annoying.

Still waiting for the saw theme for Pig.

I mean, "some" just is Wraith and Plague now (I think we all agree that Trapper should keep the default chase themes). I nonetheless agree that their themes are long overdue.

At first they said they were only going to do it if a killer with the original music got a major update, such was the case for killers like Spirit, Doctor, Legion, Hillbilly, etc.. They then seemed to backtrack on this when they randomly gave Hag new music despite never getting any updates practically ever and then giving Huntress new menu music. So who really knows what they're doing. I'd like to see new music for, at the very least, the original killers still missing menu and/or new chase/terror radius music. Trapper, Wraith, Huntress (for tr/chase), and Plague. Maybe then the license holders will be a little more inclined if they're the only ones differing. We already know they're on good terms with SAW so you know they'd jump right in. That would just leave giving Myers a full new menu music not just the jingle when selected, and then hopefully TCM and NoES will follow? Although they seem to be a lot more stubborn, TCM that's a new issue because of the game I presume. Trapper I'd honestly be fine with keeping original stuff if they did the og menu music and then one of the couple variations of base terror radius/chase music. Especially since in this case scenario, that would make it "special" to him.

I only agree with the Trapper case if they put the same music for survivor and killer POV, like the rest of the killers.
Also, I think Plague is the only original killer who didn't get her own chase music in her tweaks patch. Even Hag, one of the killers with the lowest pick rate, got her own chase music.

Im on the opposite end of this where I would like an option to make all chase/tr music the default.

This was part of the Realm Beyond, right? Whatever happened to the rest of that campaign? We still lack Ray Tracing, and the rework for the last realm, Backwater Swamp.

Yeah, it seems they traded the map reworks for making new maps for already existing realms. I like the initiative of expanding the realms, but come on, there was ONE realm left for the map reworks, with only two maps. And Garden of Joy (not part of the Realm Beyond, but a reworked map nonetheless) still has that problematic main-building loop they said they would soon fix when they delivered a lackluster rework.
Could they have given up on finishing the Realm Beyond after they got so much negative feedback for the map reworks? Or perhaps they delayed it so they could have more time to release them in a proper state? Because I remember the reaction for the latest map reworks, Red Forest and Garden of Joy, to be quite negative, to the point they acknowledged Garden of Joy still had problems and later made further changes to the Red Forest, reducing Mother Dwelling's size and the clutter on both of the realm's maps.

I do think they'll eventually get around to giving just about everyone their own TR music, it just really sucks that Freddy will most likely never get his own TR theme because he really deserves it. Supposedly the Wes Craven estate are really awful to work with when it comes to licensing and stuff.

Hope they learned that busting out players ears was not fun.

Normally like hearing the default chase music/terror radius and being like "Oh it's a Bubba or Trapper", and actually it's the Plague…

Wait, does the "Scream" IP belong to the Wes Craven estate too? Because that was another Wes Craven creation. The franchise is still getting new movies, but DbD never got the license to the movie and got the costume line license instead to make its own Ghostface. That could be a hint that they don't easily accept license deals.

Actually Ghost Face had to be licensed into Scream, Ghost Face is the costume itself which is owned by FunWorld and that's how dbd got him in the game and got him all his music and what not.
