If they added an exclusive survivor to console like Bill, who would it be?

I'm curious to hear the community's opinion on this. Since PC obtained Bill almost 2 years ago, console players have been wondering if console will ever get its own exclusive survivor. I know that Behavior didn't mean to make PC have Bill only and that Valve wanted Bill on Steam only. But I wanted to know if they ever did add a survivor to console only, then what character would you think be the best choice to add?

    I get that, but I meant if they WERE to add a character, then what do you think it should be. And yes I agree, adding Bill probably wasn't the best choice if they were planning on adding DBD to console

    They could get some horror characters, like each console having a unique character but with the same perks. Maybe have Ellie from Last of Us on PS4 and Nick from Dead Rising 3 on Xbox. If they wanted a unified character maybe someone from Resident Evil. Even if it's not going to happen, it's fun to think about.

    Maybe for PS4 they could add someone from Until Dawn or something like that, or like you said: Ellie from Last of us (Because honestly, that game is great)

    And if the game came to Switch (which would probably cause Switches to explode as it nearly does to my PS4 Pro since it's fairly unoptimized, but this is a what-if), they could get someone from Fatal Frame.

    And yea, someone from Until Dawn would work too, maybe Sam, they are much more used to this kind of situation but Ellie is much better at sneaking (in Last of Us Part 2, she's less stealthy than Pizza Dwight in the first game).

    Why can't they add Bill to console?

    Because Valve (The development team responsible for the rights of Left 4 Dead) wanted Bill to be Steam exclusive.

    Ps4 Joel from the last of us, he fits more than Ellie imo as she is a kid, Joel could easily be a Bill clone using his perks.

    Xbox is hard since everything is also out pc of now, exclusives seem to be dead.

    I find that strange, considering neither Left 4 Dead game is PC-exclusive.  Maybe they didn't want Bill on PS4 since L4D wasn't on a Sony console and just decided to leave out Xbox as well to be fair?

    I have to ask. Even though Bill is not available on console is it still possible to obtain his teachable perks via the shrine? Not porting Bill himself makes sense as thats valves decision but he is only a skin and nothing more. His perks however are quite good and see regular use in the Meta of the game.

    Ohh ok. That's beneficial bc console users don't have to grind for Unbreakable.

    his perks are indeed available already, for every survivor. Different icon tho

    It's probably more to do with it being a Steam advertisement as that's where valve earns money.

    That makes sense. Atleast from a gameplay perspective console players are not left at a disadvantage on that front.

    I think Alan Wake would be a good choice for Xbox. He fits the horror theme well, and could have some perks related to flashlights.

    @JoyfulLeader long time since I played it, think it was exclusive to 360?

    I remember enjoying it's mystery and atmosphere, and I still remember the ending face me goosebumps, although it was a cliffhanger I think.

    I understand why Bill isnt on console and thats fine but surely from a business point it doesnt make sense. Much like the Charity Case if Bill became available the majority of players would definately buy it.

    I feel we need a grandma in the game, games ageist.

    they wont make any exclusive for console the reason that bill was exclusive on PC cuz they gave us for free and also ppl really want him in the game but i probably see a survivor on pc and console andy from chucky or similar thing

    Perhaps they should just add 1 more exclusive Survivor, only to even it out. So each platform has 1 exclusive. PC could get that Survivor’s perks as general pool perks like Bill’s perks on console.

    For Xbox I would imagine Frank West from Dead Rising would be the most logical choice.

    If we're going purely for console mascots or platform specific characters

    Microsoft - I can literally only think of Master Chief so I don't know lol.
    Sony - Marcus Kane or Calypso from Twisted Metal 2 although Hagrid Jeff Johansen could pass as Marcus Kane

    Hiding around in the trial, or working on a Gen and hearing "STAAAAAAAAAAARS!" being screamed (probably because they'd use the Umbrella Chronicles Nemesis) would be something else. I already love the way you can hear things going on in the distance, like the screams from Doc or the Nurse's wails, Nemesis running around and smashing through things would be incredible.

    PS4 Exclusive:
    Josh- Until Dawn

    X-Box Exclusive:
    Arthur- RDR2

    I'm fairly certain they said that beyond the PTB they're not going to do any new exclusives between console and PC. That said if they DID do something, probably Frank West from Dead Rising.
  • Volfawott

    For PlayStation.
    Last of us: Ellie
    Until Dawn: Jess or Emily (Sam and Mike are bland af and overhyped

    For Xbox 
    Dead Raising: Molly or Frank
