Stranger Things Chapter Without Upside Down?
Post speculative on the four images released from the dlc steam page:
I'm afraid there will be no upside down world in this chapter.
Let me explain better, we all wondered how it was possible to insert the upside down in a game like dbd, and I think that they directly solved the problem by simply not inserting it.. in the screens we see a sort of portals, which probably will not place the killer, but they will already be on the map at the time of the start of the game, and in my opinion they will be used by the killer to teleport from one point to another of the map simply as does krueger with the generators. Obviously this is not his power, it is only the way he will use the demogorgon to move and he will be part of the power, but it will obviously not be his basic power.
Am I the only one to have had this feeling seeing those screens?
I hope I'm wrong, of course.
another speculation that confirm my doubt:

I never expected the Upside Down to be a factor in the first place. Way too much effort to implement in a way that'd look appropriate.

Maybe a version of the map in the upside down?

If you add the upside down people will just call it a recycled Freddy. Smart move not including it as a mechanic if you ask me.

It is included though? Maybe not in the way you wanted, but it looks like the demogorgon can create tunnels through it for travel purposes, and possibly other reasons, we have no idea until thursday.

As a killer mechanic it wouldn't work well. The dream state just has different lighting and ashes raining down. Upside Down is much more detailed and would require direct redetailing of every map. It is however possible that the new map could have an accessible chunk of the upside down

Yeah I don't think there will be an upside down as a part of the demogorgons power, but I think it makes a lot of sense for it to be a part of the new map. Also, in the show the Hawkins lab (new map) has portals leading to the upside down, which is just more reason for it to be part of the map.

That would be a good alternative to how The Games multiple stories works actually. Two small adjacent maps with a few connection points. Could make killers like Trapper or Hag exceptionally useful too.

I agree. Let's hope that we are right. We will probably figure out Thursday with the stream.

I had this feeling too, very disappointed as the potential for that power would be MASSIVE, so much pressure.
Whatever it is it had better be ######### good because I am very disappointed, I'm not excited at all for the new chapter anymore.
But a few people have pointed out that 2 Survivors can work on the holes/portals, that's an important detail. If they were just portals you would only need 1 Survivor working on them but it allows 2 so I'm guessing it takes a while to destroy one.

Couldn't they have just tweaked Freddy's dream effects to make the upsidedown? Just add those vines and stuff

The Dream world is a filter, but adding the upside down? That would have to involve completely redoing every map with the vines. It's the same reason that they won't add prestiges of anything other than default clothes.

We wouldn't really need the vines, just add a brown filter, add back in the pestula sacks but retextured and there you go. Maybe make noises have a bit of an echo to give the feeling of it being empty.

When I saw this image it never occurred to me that it could be a 3rd person view from the Killer itself, hot damn. I assumed it was more of just a camera screen shot to get a good look at it for everyone.

Technically there isn’t any reason to add ‘alternate realms/realities’. Original Freddy was somewhat of a special case, and I guess Wraith, Spirit, and Nurse also draw on a separate plane - but they don’t specifically enter said plane.
The Entity has ultimate rule over reality in its own realm. It could have even made Freddy not require his victims to be sleeping to attack them for example like he can now, so why would - do you one better; why should - Demogorgon need Upside Down?

After the trailer I imagined his power would to make portals to the upside down.
I imagined that there would be 2-3 portals that are already placed and the Demogorgon could create another 2-3. I also thought like, some generators spawn outside the upside down and some in the upside down, same with hooks, so you as a survivor can't really avoid entering it. The killer would have other bonuses in there too, maybe faster action speed.
You could her the heartbeat, all sound from the real world in the upside down but not the sounds from the upside down in the real world, like in the show.
But, well, would have been too much to make all the maps have a different look to it and such.
I like the concept of the portals shown in those images and I'm looking forward to see his other abilities.

It's more likely we will be able to taste a bit of upside down in the new map, by what was shown in the trailer.
0 -
Now, I haven't watched the show, myself, but aren't the vines and stuff the whole point of that dimension?
1 -
Its on the new map

I've seen a leak where there technically is an Upside-Down, and the concept is pretty creepy. It involves that portal so i could see how it works.

The Upside-Down. Is like the problem with Freddy you implement it and it most likely will be terribly underwhelming for everyone.

Yeah it is but that's why I mentioned bringing back the sacks from the Hallowed Blight event to bring plant feeling without having the vines.

It was a link to the trailer (1 year later responding)
