Replay system

I think it’s about time that players should be able to spectate themselves playing as killer or survivor to allow them to learn from their mistakes and improve on it. They can also use their video to share with friends or other people in the community to gain feedback on. Moreover, it will allow survivors to know what their other team mates were doing and the killer to gain an understanding to what they done wrong. For example, by chasing a meg for 80 seconds, the killer has allowed the 3 other survivors to finish 3 gens. It would also give players evidence when sending a report to a player for hacking or game sabotaging.

    I like the idea a lot. I stream just so I can break down my matches and run back through them on the cloud. But it would be much better if I could rewatch a game as a spectator, giving me the power to switch between the killer and each survivor so I can better understand what went right and wrong.


    And on top of that, to spectate other red rank matches, or in the future high mmr matches, to learn new techniques.

    Exactly. I have been hearing a lot of my friends complain about killer being too hard. So I always wanted to see their gameplay so that I can have a better perspective as to what they have been doing wrong.

    Nice to analyze the matches! Maybe even let the match play from different player perspectives.

    It would also help when reporting players, which to me is the main reason why we need it.

    The current "report feature" is an actual imposition, having to video-record a cheater, upload the video and then send the link to the devs, what the ######### is this? I think it's fair to say this is the worst report feature I've ever seen in a modern multiplayer game.

    all i want is at the end of the match to be able to see the POV of the others players during that match. Mainly because there are so many perks like Red Herring, Mindbreaker, Blood Echo that indirectly effect the game, and being able to see if they were effective even in the slightest could maybe make some of them a bit more viable? Anyway, a replay system is a good thing in itself that can't harm anyone, so I'm totally down for it.
