FNAF Reveal Underwhelming?
I love DBD just as much as the next person, and I'm delighted to see the community's reaction to such a monumental IP for the game. I just can't help but shake the PAX East announcement "took the wind out of the sail" a bit, at least for me. Teasing the chapter a year ago didn't really work for me, as the anniversary streams have a track record of doing so. When the day finally came it was revealed that there would be no survivor, and that they won't be revealing powers, perks, etc. Immediately following that they reveal a legendary cosmetic that felt like a bit of a shill right after the disappointing announcement. A full chapter release (surv, killer, map) I felt like was a given for a license of this scale, and it may be disappointing for fans of the franchise. I completely understand that these things take a huge amount of time, money, and resources. All of which are limited. But I can't help but feel underwhelmed for the reveal of DBD's largest modern licensed chapter. I'm sure it'll be gold when it releases, but for now I'm left feeling a little underwhelmed.

It was lack luster because they had to do it live on Pax.

Potentially, I'm no expert. Doesn't change the fact about no survivor, and the cosmetic stuff.

If there are no other cosmetics than indeed this was lackluster. But I'm honestly fine with just Springtrap and a Map personally.
But if there isnt atleast 3 other FNAF cosmetics to get, I would say its a poor use of the most requested franchise.We will see how it comes.

I agree, I'm truthfully not too big of a fan of fnaf, I just feel like with the influx of players coming into the game you would want to put all your eggs in one basket and have a big chapter release similar to Dungeons and Dragons.

No Survivor surprised me too. Human beings aren't really iconic from the franchise, but I think there's a lot of strong material to inspire a few Perks for Survivors, so I was assuming they'd put one in.
We'll see how it goes, I was personally mostly satisfied just getting a peek at how the team were approaching Springtrap graphically, which so far looks great IMO. Hope the movie version's legendary skin also comes with an option to have the mask on, and I also hope this is a situation where the license holder is agreeable to revisiting the franchise with more skins down the road. It'd be silly if Cawthon agreed to all those skins in Special Delivery but was unwilling to budge on DbD skins.

I was personally expecting a lot more info compared to previous anniversaries. I don’t feel like I left the stream knowing much more than I did going in.

Exactly, aside from the Mathew Lillard reveal, we weren't presented with anything we already knew. Of course it was never confirmed, but lets be honest, it was gonna be Springtrap.

100%. Still baffles me no survivor. Since the chapter is loosely based on the film, Mike and Vanessa are two perfect candidates imo.

I felt the same. It was nice though. But yeah. xD
I think it’s cause they’re saving it for the next stream in a couple weeks2 -
Yeah that’s understandable, I’m just so used to the anniversary being a much bigger moment where we get all the info dumps.
Like even the new features that were brought up we already knew about and they didn’t even go into any details on those.
Like bar new cosmetics and a roadmap like what new stuff do we know about changes coming? I can’t really think of anything

This is how I felt :(
However they did say with bulk blood point spending you’ll be able to press a button to spend your points in mere seconds! 🥰
I can’t express how excited I am for this1 -
^^ bulk bp was the best reveal lol

Yeah that was a good feature to hear! Wish they’d told us what was coming for the anti tunnel and anti camp features as well as what they mean by hiding and body block fixes.
I also wanted to hear we’d have mass perk buff/reworks coming and addon passes.

Hopefully next stream they will in a couple weeks. I was hoping to know some details on the anniversary itself, but nothing today ❌🙂↔️
