Lock Survivor cameras while working on a gen

How would you stop ghostfaces stalk?

Edit: never mind, I thought you meant permanently rather than just on a gen.

I agree! There are alternatives, too. Like, force a first person view while interacting with things, so their view is limited to 180 degrees. Or, to make them focus more on interactions, make skill checks more frequent, except increase skill check success zones and decrease points per skill check.

Survivors don’t need this handicap.

Lol dont project..spine chill removes stealth from stealth killers..no need to look around when you'll be notified when they approach from 30 meters away..

People would run spine chill so they would know, and it would make it even less interactive than looking around while you do a gen, because you'd be staring at One object for 90% of the game since survivors are most often doing an action like healing, totems, searching, opening gates or doing gens.

I would quit because I would feel beyond unstimulated and I wouldn't want to be the chased 24/7 either.

Are you trying to make Spine Chill required? Cause this is how you make Spine Chill required.

Maybe the first couple of matches against a stealthkiller but that would fade quickly

Then you either have non stealthkillers were the terror radius warns you anyway so you're not only stuck pressing m1 but also stuck looking at the same wall

Or you have stealthkillers where you are bassicly playing FNAF waiting for the jumpscare to happen

Besides the whole they need to pay attention to the wiring is already in the game. Skillchecks force you to focus on the center of your screen for a short time

If you really want to add to the suspense i would rather skillchecks be made more interresting instead of forcing people to look at a wall 50% of the game

If skillchecks were something that you had to pay attention to for a longer amount of time would also lessen the attention of the survivor and make gens less boring

I'll admit, the concept is interesting. I'm all for ways of making DBD a horror game again. I just think it'd feel horrible in practice. Maybe try experimenting with survivors having a slower sensitivity than usual during some actions. Even then, I'm not sure if it'd actually stick or just feel unnecessary. Only one way to tell, I guess. (Make my own tech demo version of DBD in Unreal engine and try it out.)

This change would result in survivors tapping every single generator so they can look around, be frustrating, and also kill the immersion we are trying to create

Also it would turn them into meerkats

This would make Ghostface S++ tier so no. The example of working on the gen they have been doing this for so long that it doesn't take much concentration after making 1000 hours of doing it.

This would increase the divide between swf and solo players even more and make spine chill a must in every single game.

Sorry but I do my best to see both sides of any argument but I can't see any reason to justify this change. It just sounds like the most killer main thing I've ever heard. You may play the game 50/50 but this is not something that anyone who plays the game 50/50 can actually agree with.

Sorry this is in no way a good idea, especially with stealth killers existing.

Obviously I didn't say "no". I thought the "Other" was implied.

Oh so every other survivor said no? What about killers.. did they all say yes? And for people who play some of each, at what point in the survivor/killer ratio did they agree with your proposal? 40/60? 30/70? HIGHER?!

Those are two completely different situations, you can at least see which direction the survivor goes. Survivors would be pulled off gens constantly with Myers, etc. And would create a stealth only killer meta most likely. He finds your proposal ridiculous because, well, it is.

What unexpected angle?

Every single one of your stealth killers gives away their position audibly when they come into range of a survivors ears except Myers while he's running add ons....And every single one of them is directional.....

Pig makes a giant roar before she jumps on someone. (not sure why that makes any sense)

Wraith hits a giant GONG

Ghost face has a giant flag waving in the wind

Spirit has a wind tunnel

And myers has a heartbeat unless you build him with specific items and he's in tier 1.

"Unexpected angle"

Yeah the only people that don't expect it are people listening to blaring music in the background while they play the game. cmon bruh throw us a bone...

I just wish the killer coukd be semi hidden instead of a survivor with eyes on the back of his head boltong because he saw me on the other side of the map because of better vision

Yeah no. Thats great if you're dealing with a generation of people who grew up with slow building monotonous horror movies that LITERALLY TELL YOU WHEN THE SCARE IS GOING TO HAPPEN! That doesn't build tension.....people have figured out that old method of scares and its boring.... people know its coming, the music changes, the camera sits 1 special way, and its boring because you know within the next few seconds, something is gonna jump out ruining any sense of "actual tension". Actual tension should be built up in the audiences own mind, no readable camera angles, no LOOONG string quartets preparing you. The game already has an atmosphere, it doesn't need more tells than that.

The reason this game isn't scary is because of that. There's no sense of dread because YOU KNOW EVERYTHING! Its like these B list directors from back in the day that use the same techniques to scare an audience and it doesn't work time after time until they the audience is disengaged because everything is so predictable. Now tac on those same tactics to an audience that can actually control the person they're viewing and a game that gives as many "tells" as DBD does and there is no tension build up because you KNOW that its coming.

The only tension in this game from a survivors perspective comes from the chase itself because you don't know if the killer is going to down you and how soon, its left up to the human element. Before the chase starts theres nothing there....not even a little heartbeat...no pressure...nothing. Which is where you get new scare crafters that come into the entertainment business especially in movies and change that dynamic, by letting the audience build their own preconceived notions, and crashing that predictability. That leaves impact....that leaves fear. Not this 1940s dramatic over the top audio build up here it comes nonsense. New generation, new patience level, hit them when they least expect it, and let their own minds play tricks on them. In the world of horror, what worked on grandma doesn't work anymore on little timmy. He's too fast, he's too quick witted, and he has the patience level of a gnat.
