Can We Get A Redo On NOES?
Nightmare On Elm Street is the only movie to still scare me slightly, Its not because of anything in the movie, Its because I always have really bad nightmares after I watch them (Fitting I know). And while I still like Scream a little more, NOES is certainly still a licence I hold in high regard. Which is why it hurts so much to see NOES get done so dirty.
This seems to mostly be out of BHVRs control but I feel like bringing it up anyway. The chapter is only available on PC, PS4, and Xbox one. Its not on Switch, Stadia (I think, no one talks about stadia), the windows store, or mobile.
And the chapter kinda stinks. To start the map has got to be the most generic one in the entire game, literally the only thing that even makes me think NOES is the basement, and its also super generic by boiler room standards.
People seem to like Quentin but his perks aren't the best and his own movie actor isn't satisfied with the face quality.
Freddy is the pedo, not the absolute chad we know as Robert Englund (Not BHVRs fault but it still sucks). His power is so god damn boring I'd hate it even if I didn't think it was too strong. A video came out with some concepts to make him more fun and unique if you'd like to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03awNfPmnwM.
Is there anyway BHVR can give NOES a second look? Where they give Freddy a cooler power and possibly an old school skin, and rework Quentins perks and face, And make Badham not completely suck? Seriously Badham is so generic I actually forgot its name until that last sentence. Thanks for reading.
Edit: I forgot to press the enter key originally, fixed that issue.

I honestly prefer the design of the reboot freedy, i don't like how the original one is always joking and his skin looks like pepperoni.

Thats fair, I still want the OG as a skin though, hes just got that personality the other lacks. I still think the map, power, and survivor problems are more important.

I mean, generally speaking, Freddy's current power fits him pretty damn well.

Yeah i wanted his green sweater and about Quentin theres some rumors going around that he will get a face rework (hopefully they could touch his perks too), i actually like badham i just wish we had a bigger boiler room and houses different from the haddonfield ones.

I dunno why but this automatically made me think Rhinoplasty Procedure 🤔😆
But back on topic. Anyone who prefers Jackie Haley's version of Freddy. Obviously don't understand what Wes Craven was going for when Robert Englund made what Freddy Krueger is.

Yeah, but its so uninspired. Dreams can be literally anything and the best they got is tar blood and fake pallets, the only thing that feels dreamlike is the bleeding gens. Not to mention, its so boring, theres not much you can do other than try not to step on the snares, hope your pallet isn't about to punk you, or leave when the gens are on they're period.

I don't have any issues going against Freddy. They all play the same, lol

Green sweater Freddy would be so cool. I honestly hope Quentin gets a look at, perhaps with the graphical update. I don't have a problem with Badham gameplay wise, its just the bare minimum they could have done aesthetically, I think it'd be cool if they added dream stuff to it (Stuff stuck to walls, floating stuff, jumpscares, ect.).

Thats kinda my problem with his power.

I wish the dream world was more interesting, some nightmare stuff around the map would be sick! The current one is Just an annoyance and its not even because of his powers its just boring.

Yeah, What if the walls grew faces and started crying? Gen lights would go red and start shining on survivors as they walk by, bugs could create nests in corners. Theres so much they could do but just don't.

I agree with this post. And I am now waiting for the giga-brain genius who's going to say you misspelt NOED.

If someone does actually make a comment about me misspelling NOED I'd pog so ######### hard.

Tbh before i clicked on this thats what I thought. Lmao

At least you caught it, if someone didn't and commented anyway I would die harder here than how I die in my dreams.

His old power fit him just as well. Freddy was completely invisible while awake, and before he slept you, you'd hear the lullaby. When asleep, everything was slower, the dream world was MUCH, MUCH, MUCH foggier, and Freddy could now attack you. Freddy always had tracking on you outside the terror radius meaning Freddy always knew where you were but once he got within range he had to find you manually. (Although OG Freddy had a small TR and people always ran Monitor and Abuse on him to make it even smaller.)
I think the new one is more "Dream-Like" but I hate how there's no incentive to wake up like there was with the old one. With OG Freddy it was like "OH ######### FREDDY ALWAYS KNOWS WHERE I AM, MY ACTIONS ARE SLOWED, AND FREDDY CAN HIT ME I BETTER WAKE UP ASAP" while with new Freddy it's "meh, whatever I'll fall asleep again anyway".
Even if it's not buffs to Freddy I want more nerfs to survivors when in the dream world. I'm talking about bringing back the old Dream World foggy visuals only for survivors, reducing aura range, and making all audio nondirectional for survivors in the dream world. There should be more incentive to get out of the dream world besides Freddy having a slower teleport and not being affected by dream abilities (Which doesn't matter since as soon as Freddy gets that first hit you fall asleep anyway).
Perhaps something like a multi-layered dream system where staying asleep for too long (twice as long for layer 2, 3 times as long for layer 3, etc.) and having multiple survivors in deep-sleep can give Freddy new abilities like being able to block vaults, teleport to lockers or around corners, and even reduce the effectiveness of items (Making a flashlight emit about the power of a candle) etc.
Being in the dream world should be way more oppressive. I know Freddy is already super strong but I'd be willing to nerf snares if his power can be used to mess with survivors more.

It should had at least made everything rusty and red (but not so much that auras are mistaken) 🤷♂️

I love your ideas.
I imagined when in the dream world that iconic scene of Freddy in the clouds by the bright moonlight menacing over the entire map would be ideal. IMO. (If ya remember in the movie) I know it's purely cosmetic for a map. But the maps now brightly lit in glowy ghost white. It actually makes being Freddy actually easier to see survivors.

"...his own movie actor isn't satisfied with the face quality"
"Much like Laurie Strode, Quentin does not have a direct resemblance to his film appearance, possibly due to the developers being unable to obtain the likeness rights to Quentin's original actor, Kyle Gallner"
Probably the reason why he looks nothing like his actor.

I know, thats why at the beginning I said "This mostly seems to be out of BHVRs control."

I thought the same.

Fair enough, missed that one. Usually just skim the unnesscesary to get to the point.
