A new Dbd style game would wipe this game off the market

How would any survivor actually escape a chase of semi-infinities were removed? It’s already extremely hard to get away from the killer as is.

Eventually this game will die and that's a fact.

I sadly don't have high hopes for Home Sweet Home: Survive. Not enough people are covering it, only really smaller DBD fans are branching out and trying to get it out there, and the videos I've spotted in my recommended rarely get traction. Although I haven't played it myself, I've heard mostly negative things about it gameplay and queue wise, though people have told me its a fun game with friends that just gets boring quickly. If Friday the 13th never managed to surpass DBD before it was culled, I don't think this will without some major changes.

In Silence is fun, but incredibly small and has very little coverage as well, along with almost never being compared to DBD.

I always see these types of threads around that completely disregard the absolute genre monopoly this game has, along with a terrifying amount of huge licenses. A game will really need to excel to even be a noteworthy competitor, and they probably would have needed to come 4 years earlier lol. It's only getting more money, more players and more coverage the more content they pump out.

People have been saying this game will die for years. It's been at lower points than this before, and it's only gotten bigger. A disappointing chapter isn't going to do the trick(ster- haha, puns). @/Shamelesspigmain said it best; they have a schedule they need to abide too, and they'll eventually make some much-needed changes. The pandemic isn't helping, and while it's great you're holding them to a standard, jumping on the bandwagon isn't a healthy mindset to join. Be mad at the game, absolutely! But be aware that a game doesn't just die from a poor chapter.

No DBD means no Shirtless Davids, are you sure you're ready to give up on that?

I was going to say I agree with your points but then I saw your username and I need to say that I agree with your username more, 10/10, name a street after it

DBD has a pretty low turnover rate, so the competition would be for new players, not veterans. Unfortunately, even for new players, Home Sweet Home Survive is pretty ... meh. DBD has already established itself in the corner and it'll be very hard for any other game to come in and take the reigns.

It's going to be extremely hard for any other game to compete with DbD since it's been around for nearly 5 years now, has had a bunch of content added to it and many licenses involved. A game to "kill" DbD would have to be pretty damn exceptional right off the bat.

I'm curious about Home Sweet Home and other similar asymmetrical 4v1s (my friends had mentioned Foglight and Devour), but eh, I already *have* DBD, am used to it, and have fun with it. I'd rather spend $30 on cosmetics for DbD than take a chance on a $7-20 game and possibly not play it ever ever again. (here's lookin at you Phasmophobia)

Besides features, you'll need PEOPLE to be attracted to the game. Whether that's streamers or individual gamers that would be genuinely interested in being part of the playerbase. And people are unpredictable, idk. It would be good for another game to have differences to DbD to be more attractive, but who's to say people will actually LIKE it, much less stick around with it?

Baby survivor spotted.

ok

dont get me wrong i adore hsh so much but dbd has a firm grip on this market rn.

I'd play another one if the environments were more varied and had more interaction, the survivor cast was as varied and interesting, the survivors all had something unique about them or a unique power they could activate once per game to give some individuality, and the killers were as varied and interesting as the ones in DBD.

I would not mind at all if the survivors had a way to fight back or directly fend off and delay the killer in some way other than literally just running circles around piles of junk on the ground.

I would also love for there to be multiple ways to fulfill objectives and escape the map instead of it always being sit on these 5 things for a minute.

I'd also want each map to have a unique event or mechanic that you can build up to and activate somehow that both the survivors or the killer could take advantage of on occasion to shake things up from time to time.

I really enjoy DBD. I love all the characters and killers, I love most of the cosmetics and the designs. Not to mention the fun of having licensed characters like Freddy and Pyramid Head in the game. The bar I have for something that I think I'd prefer to play instead of DBD is quite high.

Well the flashy licensed characters tend to draw in the crowds more easily, but if they aren't actually interest in the game, they won't stick around for too long. The licensed characters learn cool and all until you realize that Myers is pretty bad and you can hit him with a piece of wood just lying around. There definitely is merit outside of the licensed killers, if the game's following is any indicator.
