    First, they'd need to get the legal rights to Jason
    Second, he currently has is own game
    Third, said game is currently going through legal issues (unless those got resolved and I didn't hear anything).

    What I'm basically saying is this: A lot of people WANT Jason in DBD, but the fact is that he's not likely to join the cast of Killers, at least for a while.

    the legal issues were resolved. he could actually be brought in under different licenses though. Jason has many different licenses that could be drawn from in order to put him in the game. all they have to do is use the remakes license and it is golden.

    i think it's an interesting idea to add Jason to the roster, but the fact that Jason has an independent game itself can cause a lot of trouble for DBD team. I think the creator of DBD make great killers themselves, such as THE DOCTOR or the fan favorite LEGION. But DBD team, WE ARE WAITING FOR JASON!
    -P.S would you add some cosmetics for The Doctor pls?

    Please don't add him as Pillow-case mask Jason from Friday 13th Pt 2 though, or if you do, make the hockey mask unlockable like Leatherface's faces are.

    No they might not be. It was unappealed for unknown reasons as of now.
    The company (horror inc) might appeal again and likely will. Which would make Jason impossible for years if it does.

    Would it be breaking any copyright laws to just give the trapper a hockey mask? Trapper is effectively Jason after all.

    Once again it all depends on which licenses are affected. the reason that the game was affected with this lawsuit is because it had all of the Jason licenses tied up in it minus the remake and Jason X of course. So lets say that it is the original license that includes Jason's mother and baghead Jason is the one that is question well that leaves the other Jason's open for others use as long as the original owner of those licenses agrees to it's use. So therefore Jason can be used in other games with no problem.

    The entire F13 license is affected by it. Not just a specific movie or jason, though the main problems is with the original first movie it's all being affected regardless.

    if you say so. but everything that I have read has been specifically been tied around the first movie. as Remakes are independent of their predecessors then it would not be affected.

    I’ll just say this again, trapper was their take on Jason.

  • TwistedSegaGamer
    TwistedSegaGamer Member Posts: 109

    Let me explain something even after the lawsuit is settled. A lot of things will need to be organized. Some of which will take years to do.

    Also considering so many people compare F13 to Dead by Daylight. I can see a lot of mix reactions coming with that. Not only that Why do we even need Jason?

    I get it no one has killed more people among slashers than him. But he also has his own game with some similarities to DBD.

    We already got The Trapper whose clearly inspired by him. We also got one of his inspirations Michael Myers too. I felt we got the next best choice in that regard.

    In a way it would make sense since some of these licensed characters cross over before. At the same time I don't feel Jason belongs here.

    @TwistedSegaGamer

    Ok buddy.

    1. The F13 game is done. They got in trouble with the license holders, killing the game.
    2. Hillbilly was inspired by Leatherface, and guess what, we have Leatherface now.
    3. This post was made in February, why are you commenting on this now?
  • TwistedSegaGamer
    TwistedSegaGamer Member Posts: 109

    First off, it likely is done with a final version already in stores.

    Second I'm well aware about this. I do prefer playing as The Hillbilly.

    You also could've used The Legion & Ghostface comparison.

    I'm still new here I apologize if you mine I give my two cents on it.

    @TwistedSegaGamer

    It's ok buddy.

    If you want people to know that you replied to them you need to @ them unless they are the ones who made the post.

    And F13 had a physical version in the stores long before it died.

    (With "Done" I meant it was no more)

    Obviously lol at least we got that clear.

    If the licensing issues were nonexistent, what would his power be?

    Jasons whole schtick is that he's unkillable, which wouldn't translate well to DbD since we don't fight the killers.

    I mean he kind of stalks too, but Myers already has that down, and Ghostface is coming out with his own unique spin on stalking,

    I'm just struggling to think how he could even be incorporated into the game effectively.

  • MegMain98
    MegMain98 Member Posts: 2,919

    I don’t see what his power would be though. He would probably have a low terror radius like Myers and stalk like Myers. Possibly have an exposed effect somehow like Myers/Ghostface.

    There isn’t much he can do. He is a tall imposing stalker like Myers. I don’t wanna see Myers/Ghostface 2.0 or Trapper 2.0.

    Plus I doubt BHVR would want to get themselves involved in the lawsuit situation. If they did happen to put in Jason it won’t be for a while and it’ll probably be the remake. I don’t mind Jason down the road but I don’t see a purpose when he brings nothing new.
