So when do we get the real Freddy and not the remake ?

Okay but what if getting the OG Freddy allows BHVR to put new and improved Old Freddy back in the game?

Well...that is your opinion, man.

No.

I want my killer back, and my killer came from the Remake.

I would not have it any other way.

Then you, like I with Console Optimization, are fighting a losing battle.

I wish you well in your mission.

Was there ever a doubt?

You and I are soldiers, but much needed ones.

You and I have been here since 2019, fighting for what we believe will improve the game, be it the long awaited Optimization or the return of a beloved character.

Our mission will end with a victory...or it will be the most heroic sacrifice the Forums have ever seen.

Then please explain to me how my preference for one of the movies makes me a "fake" fan of the franchise I love.

It is my opinion hence the 'imo'. The original Freddy is good, but remake Freddy is just a lot darker and more sadistic. His actor did a wonderful job and I don't want him to be replaced.

I think of myself as true fan my favorite movies are old a nightmare on elm street,a nightmare on elm street 3 dream warriors and wes craven's new nightmare in that order.

but the remake tho not as good as the original or new nightmare was not that bad of a movie (I even own it have it with the other movies O own)

if there was one thing I hated in the remake was how the made nancy useless which in the original and new nightmare she was badass.

btw remake or original Freddy Krueger always been a child molester,it was in the original script but was changed to a child killer because producers wanted to avoid comparisons to a story in California about a series of child molestations at the time of filming.

I honestly liked the remake. Not going to say it's my favorite one but i liked the tone they were going for.

Wouldn't mind having Craven's freddy as a skin but i doubt they are going to go through the licising nightmare just for a skin

Interesting. I would love to have Robert Englund likeness in the game. Maybe legendary skin with some voice lines so killers can choose which version to play.

I see horror fans are the same as most franchise genres. You are not a real fan if you liked "Insert new adaptation or addition to a series here". That's a big yawn from me.

Freddy was always a pedophile. Even in the originals. You sure know very little about something you are so passionate about.

Can we get the skin from this while we're at it? Imagine 8 bit Freddy chasing survivors.

Was going to defend OG Freddy, then read the comments by those doing that and just gotta say...

I'm not with them. No idea what the problem is, I'm a huge fan of the original movies and Robert Englund in particular (who is an extraordinary gentleman and was amazing to a group of high school kids working a haunted house when we bugged the hell out of him about his walk) that being said if you like the new ones better all I can say is...

Sweet, glad the remake made money and kept the character alive (so to speak) I would love an OG Freddy skin, maybe even with some voice lines, or just changing his run to match Roberts rolling Freddy gait, but I'm not going to try and gatekeep who gets to be fans of a movie franchise I didn't make.

Ju-Dee! I knew it! Where's lake Lagoai?

Actually he wasn't in the original, the original script was intended for him to be but actually, they just made him a child killer and nothing else. "Wes Craven said his inspiration for the basis of Freddy Krueger's power stemmed from several stories in the Los Angeles Times about a series of mysterious deaths: All the victims had reported recurring nightmares and died in their sleep.[14] Additionally, Craven's original script characterized Freddy as a child molester, which Craven said was the "worst thing" he could think of. The decision was made to instead make him a child murderer in order to avoid being accused of exploiting the spate of highly publicized child molestation cases in California around the time A Nightmare on Elm Street went into production"

The remake portrayed him to be but he was NEVER in the original Nightmare on Elm Street a child molester. "In the 2010 remake, Jackie Earle Haley portrayed Freddy Krueger. In the film Krueger is depicted as a sadistic pedophile, who worked as a gardener at a local preschool. Unlike in the original series where he was a known child-killer who evaded conviction on a technicality, there was actually ambiguity about Krueger's guilt or innocence apart from the testimony of his victims. His guilt is confirmed once the grown survivors find the room where Krueger molested them."

I never saw Freddy even in the original as a child molester he was always a child killer.

True. And a lot of people were angry about that - because people have Freeddy tattoos.

It is not cool to make an old idol a pedo in a remake.
