Now who do you expect to be in from resident evil?

Leon and Mr X hopefully. We don't need more female survivors and Nemesis is overdone. But maybe they'll put a spin and they'll do that Lady Dimitresku from RE8 and Ethan, considering how much people thirst over her and the DBD Twitter guy loves takling about simps.

A shame though, RE:Resistance was literally Dead by Daylight. Now Resistance is gonna be even more dead.

For survivor(s), I reckon we’ll get like a stranger Things. I.e. I think we’ll get both Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.

Killer: it’s highly likely it’s either Tyrant, Nemesis, Jack Baker, or this new tall lady in the upcoming RE game (we don’t yet have a vampire in DBD, so this could be very probable).

Although I wouldn’t rule out William Birken either.

It's going to be Jack and Jill.

(And the map will be a big hill).

I always assumed when/If they did a straight up zombie killer they could do a walking dead chapter.

As far as killer:

We don't know much about Lady D yet, so that's possible for sure (or at least I went into blackout mode after the first trailer dropped since I don't want any surprises taken away), though it feels a bit like doing Salazar from RE4 or Alexia from CV, it's something cool as ice around the release time, but unlikely for legendary potential.

Jack would be a decent fit, but we'd really be pushing it with chainsaw killers.

Lucas is genuinely a serial killer, but they didn't even set him up as real antagonist. Just a hard tease with oh well, DLC.

Nemesis is.... actually... the more I think about it... Nemesis is honestly the best fit for a killer mold since his whole jam is actually ######### with his targets. Compared to Mr. X's smash smash direct to the path, what sets Nemesis apart is personality, and that personal flair where he's gonna ######### with his prey before he slams the fist down.

He's crafty and vicious. He's far more like what they want the killers to be like than some of their own killers based on their lore. It'll be weird not having his iconic weaponry since they're not gonna add a gatling gun, but he's also got his tentacles (including his palm injector one) for an easy attack system.

It's almost certainly gonna be Nemy. He fits the profile/powers/customization compared to the other mutant monsters, but they can still have their escape cake and eat it here.... he's body-type similar enough they can just sell a cosmetic to switch him out for Mr X (based on trends, $50 cosmetic) or even OG Typrent (Legendary one set, so naturally a $250 cosmetic) or hell maybe down the road even a second mutation Birkin (cosmetic prices at ETA: your first born male heir).

As far as survivors:

Ethan is honestly one of the most realistic choices, though hardly iconic and its like we don't even see his face in his games most of the time.

Rebecca too, but seriously who gives a ######### about Rebecca. Sherry would kinda work, but--silly as it sounds--she's a bit too close to Cheryl in some ways to bother adding her to the game. Its weird, but its just true. I'd love Barry, but he's Rebecca category to most people. Honestly so is Shery tough. They've got to go with an iconic somehow.

To be honest, Chris would feel insanely out of place in this game ever since he started taking steroids after running into Wesker in RE:CV (impotence) and we got HARDCORE CHRISS whose whole deal is literally punching ######### boulders in half at the heart of a volcano.

Now that I think about it... most all of the legacy characters would be really out-of-place in DBD. They're such hardcore mother ######### after 15+ resident evil games that its all "oh this again"?". Any of the OG OCs would just blast a red barrel next to The Entity after injecting it with anti-entity virus and activating the self-destruct in its foggy lab where this game is secretly all taking place. Then they'd jet-pack out, zooming past the falling debris while looking back solemnly and being all "the horror... the horror...." like a total badass.

Still, I guess they could get away with a time-plucked Jill from RE1 or Leon/Claire out of RE2. Truth is it doesn't really matter since they'll just sell the cosmetics anyway with different models.

There are a lot of good options, but the most important thing? KILLER GOTTA BE STRONG YO!

Do not do represent my main jam with some limp ass #########. I wanna see "RE KILLER OP!!!" ######### flooding this forum from mother ######### day 0. This outta be the next easy-play/uber-powerful equivalent that all the former Freddy mains jump over to using instead.

Gimmie some "RE:K worse than spirit + nurse combined!!!" level outrage. I don't care what's good for the game. Do not undermine RE-Reputation. You gotta RE-Represent.

I'm already gonna be busy playing REVIII until I know every nook and cranny before this thing comes around, so if this is gonna crush me harder than Nemesis crushed Brad, I'm back trying to speed run it for awhile longer instead.
