More Video game licenses

Which license would you want to bring? (let's exclude FNAF because I know a LOT of people wants it and I want to remove the obvious)

I would LOVE to see a Medium chapter in DbD, Marianne fits the profile so much it woukd work, her and The Maw killer alongside a half material/half spirit world (like Hawkin's in a way) would be amazing!

    None. I want something to use my shards on and in house killers are normally better.

    Dead Space is possible given the remake

    • Supernatural - Winchesters as Survivors, a Demon as the Killer and the Bunker as the map
    • The Shining hotel and topiary maze map
    • Donnie Darko - Frank the Rabbit as a killer skin
    • Phantasm - The Tall Man as the killer, the mortuary as the map and Jody or Reggie as the survivors
    • The Thing - The Thing as the killer, RJ MacReady as the survivor and the research facility as the map
    • Alien - The Alien as the killer, Ridley as the survivor (maybe with Jones in tow), and the Nostromo as the map
    • Event Horizon - Dr. Weir as the killer, Capt Miller as the survivor and the Event Horizon as the map
    • It - Pennywise as the killer, probably Bill as the main survivor (could be any of them though), the sewers as the map

    Also some classic unlicensed killers that might be fun

    • Medusa - special ability includes that she automatically inflicts conditions on survivors who have her in their field of view. I think a killer that survivors want to actively avoid looking at would be pretty cool in terms of tension. 🙂 Perseus could be a good survivor.
    • Werewolf - A classic werewolf killer. Probably with a lunge similar to Demogorgon's, some sort of out of chase fast travel run on the map, and maybe the ability to detect the direction to the nearest survivor by holding down the Power button (i.e. animal sense to detect the closest prey). Any werewolf or monster hunter for a survivor works.
    • Mummy - An old fashioned massive mummy. Could do it as a massive juggernaut type a bit like Nemesis that can chew through pallets and breakable walls but doesn't have high map mobility, and/or with a "mummy's curse" that can inflict a condition on survivors. Presumably an archaeologist would be a suitable survivor.

    Maybe The Volatile from Dying Light? Idk what it would do though.

    Necromorphs from Dead Space could be freaky.

    I could get behind Supernatural, but I would much rather chose one of the monsters of the week than a demon. I think when the show leaned full on into the Angels/Demons arena is when the show turned mediocre. But that's a rant for another place.

    I love the idea of the Thing, but executing the mimic mechanic without making it OP might be too tall an order. If it could be done, that might be the paradigm changer that the game needs, though. It would really upset the apple cart.

    Pennywise I see as the most likely here, and maybe soon. People saw the latest teaser as pointing toward FNAF, but it was the latest in a number of circus related teases which I think could just as easily be pointing toward Pennywise.

    Slenderman from Slender the Arrival. I like how the story was done and the atmosphere felt very unnerving.


    No other ones besides Fnaf come to mind besides Evil within but never played the game although the main killer looks interesting.


    Just to throw in here, an original killer I would love is the Headless Horseman. Similar to Sleepy Hollow TV show or Johnny deep version

    movie


    Rarely anyone uses him in the media anymore and makes me said since I loved The Legend of Sleepy Hollow book.

    You may be right, but I don't think it's going to stop.

    There's only two ways the game is going to stay relevant, imo:

    1. Reinvent/refresh its mechanics and gameplay
    2. Keep bringing in new IPs

    I definitely see one as more likely than the other.

    I did say Video Game licenses but hey, Donnie Darko would be fun

    None we have had enough Licensed Crap for a while. We need more OC material so we can feel like grinding Shards, which is a pain at times, to unlock new characters. Also lets face it besides Pyramid Head and Pin Head all the others have very copy and paste powers or thier powers are just meh and don't pose a real threat

  • VikingDragonXii
    VikingDragonXii Member Posts: 2,885

    That's the thing we don't need Licensed Characters to stay relevant, good original characters that seem different than anything we have seen before can do that. Look at the different characters we have that's unique, even though they nerfed or butchered them to shells......and I'm not talking about how strong any of these guys are just the concept itself.

    Twins - A concept I haven't seen done before and thought was a very interesting use of a conjoined twins killer, it's just sad how much hate has been thrown at them and how pathetic they have been reduced to.

    Deathslinger - A Harpoon Weapon to reel in his victims to take them out, along with a small TR so he could sneak up on them like his background says he does as a bounty hunter.

    Hag - A swamp creature that uses the power of runes to create a web of traps around the map that she can then teleport to when triggered or hidden traps to surprise her victims.

    Doc Mc Smiles - A mad Doctor that uses the power of electricity to put survivors in a state of maddess where they see hallucinations of pallets, Docs, and even make them think they are being chased.


    That's just to name a few. Those concepts are what brought me to DbD but how badly BHVR has handled "balancing" them has really made me question if we deserve any licensed content at all.....

    Yeah me too but how it could appen? I have some ideas. Shark: all map get flooded and survs need oxygen while not chasing, but if like that its probably the most op killer, dinosaur: raptor: move way faster normally and can jump trough obstacles (pallet, window and short object) ability:bamboozle: you can trick surv whit sound effects and other but i don't have time to think and write it.

    David aka Kiefer Sutherland from The Lost Boys. Peroxide blond mullet vampire wearing a trench coat. You also have some iconic survivors to choose from but I guess Corey Feldman & Corey Haim would be the best choices.

    I want to see Dead Space chapter, crazy enough...

    I can imagine the USG Ishimura as the map, multiple Maps diversity in different parts of the ship. (Medbay, Cargo Hold, Bridge, etc.) The Map can feature new Hazards, such as Lockdown rooms every time a Generator is done, or pitch black environment (except for the killer) when a Survivor stays in the same room for too long, like 60 seconds. New animations for doors, lockers; and there will be new pallets, in a form of stack crates. (Just imagine the Survivor runs and drop a bunch of small/medium boxes on the ground.)

    Isaac Clark can have his ironic Engineering Suit, or Causal Jacket; and he is the new Survivor.

    The Killer is the Marker, which can summon Necormorphs; which has a power that revolves around changing different Necormorphs types of creatures for many unique Playstyle options. Npc might be tricky; but I would prefer if the player can harvest bodies and change forms.

    Survivors will have new mechanics, such as the ability to wield weapons against the Necormorph killer. They can decide on a risky Melee weapon to attack the killer directly, or used a limited ammo Plasma Cutter gun to hit the limbs and cripple the momentum of the killer and their strongest abilities & Necormorphs. There are supply crates on walls or lockers; that allow you to reload or restock on a new item; but you cannot take your medkit or flashlight; if you want firepower.

    Not all Necormorphs types are available, but with specific addons, you make the Necormorphs be any particular Necormorph and play along with their strengths and weaknesses; along with two powerful ultra red addons that either randomized the Necormorphs choice or.. play as a Boss level "Regenerator" Necormorph that is impossible to cripple and can be the most dangerous Necormorph of them all. You got Lurkers that can be small and hard to see with ranged attack, yet easy to kill; you got Necormorph, you got standard Slasher that can pounce and break pallets instantly; you got Pukers that deal Range damage over time; you got a good rooster to choose from in one killer.

    Another mechanic for Survivor to fight back, is to tinker and go near the Markers itself; as three of them are all over the map. Go near the Marker will prevent the Killer from touching you or harming you from a distance; but.... the Marker will cause a new status effect such as Insanity, and will hurt you and make you see misleading things, such as mistaking other Survivors as Necormorphs also. Harming the killer or damage the Markers; will be the best options to Supresss the negative of the status effects.

    Ohh as some added bonus, Iconic Dead Space's Twinkle Twinkle Little Star song could be made for the menu, any Survivor (might be tricky with certain cosmetic or licensed characters, would be nice if all original Survivors get their own Dead Space's cosmetic with a function Health RIG), will have custom Health Status Rigs on their backs with Iconic sounds of Flatline when Dead.

    No grand perk ideas, but I would love perks that help Issac be the best Survivalist and Engineering. And for the killer, to spread Chaos and be overwhelmed powerful when not taken seriously. I even like the idea of a hex perk, that gives the killer the ability to apply Exposed status effect to every Survivor whon stuns them; or manage any altruistic plays. It like Noed; but it only applies as soon as the first unhooking or first stun is maded; and it only affects the Survivors whom tormented you in chase.

    My fav horror game is already in DbD. Yeah i am talking about Nemesis, Jill and Leon. Silent Hill is also great franchise and it is in game too. So i don't know is there left any interesting horror franchise.


    I would go with Dead Space or The Evil Within.

    On the Supernatural thing I think thematically it kind of has to be a Demon that turns to smoke and possesses people, none of the monsters of the week are big enough nemeses to the Winchesters in the overall stories.

    As far as mimicking survivors go I’m fairly sure it would be effective in that a killer who looks and acts like a survivor has innate Undetectability while doing it which just on its own is a solid part of a kit. Even if survivors on comms are never fooled into thinking the killer is actually a survivor that stealthiness would still work.

    Oh, oops! My bad, I missed that you were specifically asking about video games. I can’t think of any video game characters I’d be dying to see in this. 🤷‍♂️

    I've always wanted Elvira Mistress Of The Dark as a survivor. For video games I'll take Outlast anyday!

  • Mooks
    Mooks Member Posts: 14,789

    Little Nightmares: The Lady as the killer with light/shadow based power. probably with a temp mirror item somehow incorporated in her kit. Six as a grown up or just as an outfit (yellow raincoat)

    Dont Starve Together: Charlie as killer with Darkness/Shadow Hand based power. Plenty of survivor options (I would prefer Wickerbottom)

    Alien: Isolation: possibly combined with the movie license. Ellen Ripley as surv with Amanda legendary.

  • FreddysMain
    FreddysMain Member Posts: 289

    The Evil Within 1/2 for sure! I’d love to have Sebastian and Kidman as survivors and maybe the Guardian or the Sadist or the keeper for the killer or even Ruvik.

  • Kira15233

    See, I wasn't a fan of The Evil Within, game felt too slow and boring, the ambiance and world tho is amazing I gotta give it that

  • Cryptikk
    Cryptikk Member Posts: 418

    Honestly, TEW for dbd is a awesome idea. Seb as survivor would be great.

    I think maybe the keeper or stefano would suit the killer better though.

    Alien: Isolation

  • FreddysMain
    FreddysMain Member Posts: 289

    it would be amazing, I think maybe the keeper could teleport to his safes but survivors could interact with them in some sort of way.

    i would have a 2nd survivor main if they did that 🤣 Seb is amazing.

  • Cryptikk
    Cryptikk Member Posts: 418

    Maybe the safe could be a detection device? Maybe like the hag. And a kidman legendary! <even though 1500 cells is to much for skins imo hehe>

    The dementors from Harry Potter are quite cool and tick a few boxes. Simple and spooky. Perhaps a bit too similar to nurse though 🤔
