About an Alien chapter.
So its mainly a question to clarify and then start a discussion if I remember correctly.
Is the Alien franchise now owned by Disney?
And if so how would you all feel if BHVR decided to work with Disney to get a chapter?

I'm fine with an Alien chapter, but I'd prefer some other licensed chapters before it.

Alien is apart of 20th studios which is now owned by Disney, and marvel is making comics for alien, so its kind of a weird three way, so don't expect one soon.

Id rather they focus more on game balance and bug fixes.

I prefer human-based Killers. Franchises that have non-human antagonists or creatures could be fun, but it would ruin the theme for me.

Its the "disnefying" that I dont really care for... starwars isn't really starwars anymore, yeah Mandalorian is giving hope but asides for some parts of "Rogue 1" the other are rough. And there's more too the "disnefying" as well.

Im a big fan of the alien films but I just can't see it fitting into the game tbh. I can understand licensed killers like Myers, Freddy, gf, even pyramid head to a point but Alien is on another level I mean one of those things could wreak havoc against trained soldiers and destroy entire space stations I just can't see it getting stunned by a dweet throwing down a pallet on its head lol but hey maybe that's just me and it could be great in the game. Just have to see what the future holds.

Will , Peter Jackson and The Lightning Alien will be a good movie??

I agree, i give a pass for demogorgon because he is an interdimensional being who lived/was on "earth" before, for me Alien wouldn't make too much sense because the whole movie is in space.

I’m not so keen with Demo being in game.
Blight I’m fine with. He’s still very human, only his face has drastically changed.

Its a very popular franchise, and honestly I’d be interested for sure. Ripley as the survivor with Xenomorph as the killer.
It would also be a good excuse to introduce a outer space themed map.
I’m picturing a destroyed alien ship, with the terrain similar to:
That connects to an abandoned space station/ship, so you’d have half indoor map, half outdoor.
Go big or go home.

With Demogorgon and Minotaurus Oni and Krampus Trapper the ‚killer must be human‘ argument isn’t valid anymore.
Alien would definitely my dream chapter. Make it not only based on the movies but also Alien: Isolation. Ellen Ripley as survivor with Amanda Legendary skin. The cat Jones as an AI perk, eg Jones runs around x meters of the survivor making random scratch marks. Can’t be directly interacted with by survivor or killer. (Or let survivors be able to pet him if feasible)
licensing will definitely be not an easy task for this one. But people also said they would never get the license for Silent Hill and now we have Cheryl with a Christmas Sweater and Legion Bunnys...

Blight started human same as hag

Well, I mean... Demogorgon slaughtered many people, scientists and cops/soldiers as well. And still, he made it into DbD. So why not? Personally though, I always preferred they Yautjas (Predator) but I don't know if one could make it into the DbD roster. I would love it, but since there is the Haunting Grounds game (made from the same people who developed F13) AND Predator has just become a Fortnite skin/npc as well...

Wraith is Predator.

They downplay a bunch of franchises and make them horrible, and are widely known for making mediocre content, just look at the newer star wars movies and the live action remakes, some of the worst movies I've seen

Oh I, haven't watched any star wars probably like since 2007,so I wouldn't really know ,like I don't know about star wars at all .

dam original trilogy is dope 2000's prequels are aight, I don't recommend any of the new stuff except for Mandalorian

I've watched the original movies,I'm guessing those are the best,but the stars awaking?? with Mark Hamil was supposed to be good right?

Considering the original Alien is simply a Haunted House Horror Movie in space... I'm 100% on board with it. Especially if they give him the pyramid head treatment and give Alien a unique hooking mechanic... basically stringing them to a wall with an egg sac nearby.
But yes, if its owned by Disney, good freaking luck. Disney is an IP blackhole: anything that goes in doesn't come out again.

couldn't have said it better man

Ehhhh....No. Having the ability to turn invisible doesn't make someone Predator, as much as having cheese on top doesn't make something a pizza.

Alien doesn't fit. It's such a deadly creature that it'd be a waste of a license to have it be looped, pallet stunnned, flashlight blinded, and teabagged at. Comparing it to demo is also a bit silly. At least in the show the demo got beat by Steve with a baseball bat, tricked into stepping onto a beartrap, and set on fire by three kids. The alien in DbD would have to be some nerfed version that DOESN'T annihilate 4 unarmed humans.. It belongs in a game where it can be shot at with a gun, not getting genrushed and head on'd.
