Love the concept, DBD got me resident evil i'll be happy no matter what they do for a 3rd chapter. I even made a concept for a RE6 chapter featuring sherry birkin, jake muller and the ustanak. While RE6 is probably the least popular RE game i personally enjoyed it and see massive potential in it. I do hope we get a RE 7 chapter first tho with maybe a RE 8 chapter with lady D rose and ethan (if capcom finally decides to show us his face which the community has already seen for years), heisenberg would probably have more potential to have an interesting and/or fun power than lady D tho
Honestly, if RE8 got a Rep, Heisenberg would be amazing, he has the most potential for power, wesker like dialogue potential, and easily steals the show once Lady D is dealt with
Definitely a great concept. My only opinion that differs is the map. This is a bit weird but I feel like making the map the village from RE 8 would be better than the Baker House. I feel like location wise, Village is more memorable than 7 and nothing wrong with adapting as much RE as much as possible.
Bro this is EXACTLY what I’ve been saying I’m not even kidding
I’d hope his breakable wall animation is a full on Jack Torrance reference
This is a "Take my money" DLC for me
Honestly this sounds foraminal and honestly Rose should be the survivor for the re8 representation with Mia and Zoe as legendary skins. Jack could have his default, more molded with no shirt and swamp as legendry for voice lines being changed to fit a more monster feel
personally I am of the opinion the jack should keep his chainshears as a secondary ability that could allow him to have an extended lunge with a small area of effect infront of his, which could allow him to destroy pallets, and maybe hit multiple survivors if they all get in his way, i think itd also be nice to have a full trio of "chainsaw wielding hillbillies" instead of just two, and they could definitely keep his weapon as an alternative cosmetic like the nail paint roller, dredge has proven that weapons can have multiple cooldowns, he could use the long handle to swing infront of him instead of cutting with his shears, but even with this i still love this concept and i do hope it gets incorperated somehow someday
Love whenever you put out another video. Especially when it’s resident evil related.
RE7 is too new and not indicative of the series as a whole IMO. I like what we've gotten much better
Forbidden mold consumption
But imagine you see an old woman sitting in a wheelchair watching you do a gen then suddenly a little girl appears from the other side and attacks you
Personally since we have Leon Jill Carlos Wesker Ada nemisis and rpd I’m satisfied with the RE content we have but I really think we need some representation for RE7 and 8 Obviously Ethan as a survivor with Mia and maybe even rose as legendary skins but the killer and map is the hard thing for me I understand why everyone wants jack baker because he is the scarier and to some more iconic from the 7-8 story but I feel like lady D just can’t be ignored I think it would be unlikely but amazing if he could get a chapter with 2 killers and one survivor Ethan as the survivor and both lady D and jack baker as killers while some people may say the game is becoming to oversaturated with are content and to that I respond with the content has only ever been good (Yes even rpd) nemesis and wesker are some of the best killers in the game and Jill and Leon are some of the survivors I see most in game if you make a sandwich and it tastes nice obviously you’d make that sandwich again weird comparison I know still but I genuinely don’t see why the RE content has to end Character wise Ethan would obviously be the survivor but there’s so many legendary skins we could still get Mia Rose joe baker Barry burton Sherry birkin Jake muller and Billy coen would be the only other characters they’d need to have basically the full roster and I’d definitely buy a few of those Killer wise Jack and lady D are the only other killers I can think of but it might be possible William birkin could be a skin for one of the killers since I didn’t think he could be a full killer maps are the hardest since I really really want he spencer mansion but that don’t have anything to do with 7 or 8 I feel the baker house and castle domitrec are the only options
(Honestly I think making Lady D a skin for nemisis works best just replace his tentacle with her claws)
Regardless of what happens I just don’t want to see the content end as a fan of Both series I literally have no reason to not want more shims I feel Chapter 3 should be the final full chapter the skins never need to end let’s just hope they remember to choose quality of quantity
I also just wanna say Ethan does have a face and we have it’s possible to see outside of game and Capcom isn’t trying to hide it in the new 3rd person mode for village since you can see it’s been modelled and apparently there will be new third person cutscenes
I like that your a Batman Arkham city fan, that game is a masterpiece, this is obviously not in reference to the video but what about an idea of a scary, horror movie involving Batman characters
okay but, Marguerite Baker as a Legendary skin for The Artist, turning the crows into bugs
(idk about Lucas tho)
This is pretty far fetched but my personal killer would be AL from toy story 2 either that or predator because that movie was fun
Honestly, instead of Dimetrescu, I feel like if RE8 ever got chosen for a third RE chapter, Heisenberg would be a better option. Though overall VII’s Jack Baker would be the better choice
14:54 Ikr, I don't get the whole fascination with lady D personally… though I get the very tall women thing lol, but she's boring from a story character perspective. Heisenberg was probably the most interested lord if you look at them from a character depth perspective. During his section Ethan gets presented with a choice from Heisenberg, he could work with him to take Mother Miranda down or not because Heisenberg actually hates her and all the other lords, so Ethan had to make an interesting choice.. Heisenbergs level was probably the most unique out of all of them and actually gave RE8 some character other than RE4 clone, the enemies were interesting and the first boss fight was really unique (though the second one where you fight Heisenberg in the buggy was boring, I'll say that). Just everything about Heisenberg made him a better character than just about everyone in the game (including Ethan tbh lol).
22:55 Make sure the upstairs area doesn't turn into the upstairs of the library in the RPD… good lord, so glad they're getting rid of that in the map rework.
im terrified that if they actually add Jack they'll make him a bubba clone for less effort and lots of money
Omg you’ve love Arkham City!!! Man of taste
14:08 Even with this, I’m glad that Dead by Daylight doesn’t suffer from “The Overwatch Problem” (where it’s literally remembered and talked about for its Rule34 stuff). It shows how fleshed out the characters are and not portraying them for fanservice. Hell, Spirit is almost fully nude and you don’t see people complaining or thirsting over her (talking about in the normal game and not Hooked on You)
I have a few ideas to improve jacks power. His power should be a mix of Doctors power and plagues power. After a short channel, jack releases a slow moving wave attack in front of him 8 meters long, 1 meter wide. If a survivor is hit by this, they can’t sprint for 5 seconds and are revealed by killer instinct for the same duration. This attack also leaves behind a mold creep in the same shape of the attack. Survivors are hindered by 5% when coming into contact with the creep and are revealed by killer instinct for 3 seconds. The creep lasts 1 minute. Intractables gain special properties when in contact with the creep. Windows can only be slow vaulted, and after 15 seconds, will be blocked for the rest of the creeps duration. Pallets will be blocked after 15 seconds and remain blocked for the creeps duration. Dropped pallets can only be slow vaulted. Lockers can’t be opened. If a survivor was hiding in the locker, they are kicked out and scream and receive the same penalties as if they were hit by the wave. After the creep under a locker expires, a mold monster exits and chases survivors that lasts for 1 minute. Survivors working on generators affected by creep are revealed by killer instinct for 3 seconds and become oblivious and can’t sprint until 5 seconds pass after the action is canceled. If the creep touches a totem, a pool of creep grows under it to a max of 10 meter radius over 30 seconds, then lasts an additional 45 seconds. If the totem is a hex, the time it takes to reach max radius is 15 seconds, and it remains at max radius for 1 minute. If the totem is a boon, it is snuffed. 4 vaccines spawn in the map. When a survivor uses a vaccine, they become immune to the creep slow effect and killer instinct for 3 minutes. Survivors can only open one vaccine case, and the vaccine they get can only be used on themselves.
Some things I should mention, you can’t reapply creep that’s already effected by creep, you have to wait for it to go away before you can reapply it to an object. The only exception is the totem, and by extension the objects effected by the totem. Since I can’t beta test this, the numbers may be a bit strong or weak, but the point is the concept
I love the concept work so much omg
An interesting way they could do a hypothetical Killer is to have a stance switch mechanic (Kinda like Twins but perhaps without the husk and something I wish Legion was) and have each person do something unique. Call the Killer "The Family". Jack could specialize in chase (He's the "stalker" enemy of RE7, he breaks through walls, and is noted to have insane regenerative capabilities), Marge could specialize in slowdown of some sort (Her control over bugs and her ability to lay eggs for bugs to come out of would easily work as a slowdown ability), and Lucas could specialize in information/traps (His entire thing is traps, games, and watching everything from behind the scenes). Of course, they'd have their own moris and there are plenty of ways to do that. Perhaps have Eveline laugh or say a line for something unique as well. Also, perhaps have her true form appear on the map with maybe an special interaction with it that could effect people.
Mia would have to be the Survivor with an legendary of Zoe. No one else makes sense here besides these two honestly. Mia and Zoe were both the original survivors of the Baker incident and are among the few to survive afterwards.
As far as I know, they did actually reveal Ethans face already, just not in the game itself. I think they made a post and showed it once
Honestly I think all the lords could be legendary killer skins. Alcina could be a legendary for Nemesis, Heisenberg could be a legendary for Trapper, or maybe Oni, Donna could be a legendary for Spirit or Artist, or maybe even Twins somehow (with Angie being Victor), and Moreau could be a legendary for Blight, or maybe Dredge. And, of course, Miranda could be a legendary for Plague.
I Love The Concept, but I Would Rather Ethan Be The main Survivor and Mia as a Skin and Maybe even Rose as survivor Or skin.
I am Thinking of the perks and stuff for Ethan but I'm just speaking My mind and Opinion.
This has made me more convinced that Karl Heisenberg is just the better Villian for his unique abilities rather than Lady or Baker, it just seems that Jack power is very… uninteresting or not engaging as an ability. Feels like Freddy’s blood puddles.
Heisenberg’s power is far more interesting thanks to its potential.
Dang, now I wanna see Heisenberg as a killer.
alright ima just cover my thoughts on the perks
til the bitter end is honestly just not great. i get its thematic but a survivor perk that can only proc a maximum of 4 times with a strength effect that really isnt huge i don't think is terribly great. i think it just be another mediocre perk that you would rarely see anyone run except maybe in gimmicky builds. not like its terribly strong but it has an ok effect that can even come in clutch is bad situations with the unhooking speed. aura reading is somewhat situational as to how helpful itll be but is helped by no range limit. so yea gimmicky and maybe honestly i would buff to unhooking speed to 100% but otherwise its pretty eh so you nailed behavior so far
eleventh hour i think is actually really bad with its current state the aura reading range is too low. most the time you have to be pretty middle distance from a killer whos somewhat decent to get a flashlight save especially if theyre looking around
the aura reading is probably barely gonna proc as it is against more then new killers. the blind duration is cool but pretty meh. its basically just basically one of the add ons that no one runs cuz lets be honest the only ad dons people run give duration to the beemer itself or range. again could be semi gimmicky for a longest blind duration build but otherwise again p bad imo
i actually kinda like Spare Supplies. its a wierd built to last however two major problems first off nothings stopping another survivor from grabbing your item which they very well just might and it doesnt have an actual limit to uses so im curious to the speed because otherwise i could see using this perk with like green medkits as really strong. i would say mias best perk is SS and hte other two are just very mediocre
so scourge hook biohazard is actually kinda weak imo. item depletion is gimmicky at best its why perks like franklins arent good. you cant guarantee that survivors will have an item however the broken part is actually kinda nice honestly. could be pretty decent on some hit and run style killers to help slow the healing process down especially with like sloppy
Mind your manners is interesting
though i think its kinda weak for a few reasons. if they finished a gen and havent touched one since your perk is completely wasted and i think that one would be really sad. i think that if you auto hook cuz theres a hook right there you dont get too much value either but those are both totally fair weaknesses
otherwise idk its basically a personal thrilling for one gen which idk guess it can in theory last longer
ok so now we have a juicy one with slaughterhouse rules
first off i love that its a obsession's swapping perk seeing another one in teh game would be cool and i actually like this perk idea a lot though i do see it being used quite a lot on killers like oni or michaeil for trying to get as much pressure as they can
overall while i dont personally like a lot of the perks you made i think you did a great job just because i dont like it or think theyre strong doesnt mean theyre bad. honestly not every perk needs to be a meta changing god of a perk and thats fuckin great honestly so im glad you didnt try to do that. really enjoyed the video and cant wait for you to keep up the good content though i doubt youll even read this lengthy ass pile of a mess of a comment
If I could have my own dbd chapter, I would have an Outlast chapter. It’s my favorite horror game of all time and would love to see how it would be adapted. Only problem would be survivors, who all have that same Ethan winters problem, where their faces won’t be revealed.
I will say, out of all the RE games, 7 fits in the most aesthetically.
With there so far being two games focused on Ethan and his storyline combined with the fact that we haven’t seen his face (as far as I’m aware), I like to imagine that a possible 3rd chapter could try to give us two killers for the first time to make up for Ethan’s lack of identifiable traits. They more or less mixed and matched RE2 with RE3 for the first chapter, why not give us two members of the Baker family? Or maybe Jack Baker and one of the antagonists from the cast of Village? I could imagine Lady Dimitrescu as a killer at least in my head and I think it would be cool to see a new style of chapter that we haven’t before
Already complaining eh pixel just kidding Id take this idea over the disrespectful idea that is lady demitresc.. Seriously dhe isn't even a main villain and people act like the simping alone is her ticket. Popularity doesn't mean she deserves it over jack or the actual villain mother miranda. I love your idea though hehe very scary
Why is nemesis’s bag mask thing not a cosmetic in dbd I would pay my soul for it that’s how cool it is
In my opinion enduring is a trapper perk because of his lore
Wait wasn’t there a grandma ? I think I remember a grandma from the Vr game or something
Also RE8 is kinda overrated RE7 chapter is better
Lady d wouldn’t be a good killer in my opinion like her power? I have no clue what it would be
I do agree the factory guy is better
RE8's doll lady would give BHVR a chance to try their own hand at VHS's doll master. Don't see it happening, but it would be funny.
behavior watching this video and being like "Why did we add wesker???"
Man, I wish Lady D. could be talked about without immediately jumping into the horny thing. I don't blame you, but yeah. I just thought she was cool as all hell, and wished she had more tike to develop – loved the idea of a pseudo Vampire losing her patience and formality as the game went on and her realm / daughters fell out of her control. Still think the first trip to the castle should have ended with an escape, then a later revisit towards the end of the game.
I just want to play a giant Lady because I think that'd be awesome, and I don't much like hatchets? (Looking forward to the RE8 DLC Mercenaries addition for exactly this reason).
To be honest though, I get what you mean by the power set, and her being a smaller part of RE8. To be honest, I think she could work as a Legendary Cosmetic for Wesker – have them swap Tentacles for spikes, write the dashing off as "big strides" , make the "infection" a blood plague of some sort, and maybe even slightly change the perk description /give them optional reskins if you want to go the extra mile.
Seeing people due to her height while carrying, stepping over things quicker because she's tall, and the wounding people to hinder their trial escapes? She actually has a scene where she cuts off the Ethan's hand while he tries to power an exit, I'd argue that perk makes MORE sense on her than Wesker.
Sure, it'd definitely require some animation work, but if they can translate the kit like detailed above IMAGINE the money they'd make.
Edit: Okay, this is hilarious – I actually paused and write this comment literally one second before you proposed the legendary skin idea. The Nemesis idea works fine too – especially since she is a pursuer type enemy and I assume dashing in a dress if hard, but I think either could work.
Does keeping the greenhouse not make the Baker Estate map a little too big? We don't want an RPD all over again.
If BHVR is going to adapt another RE chapter to Dead by Daylight then oh boy, RE fans be eating a lot. (feels bad for Silent Hill fans though)
I used to want a super complicated power for Jack but honestly I really love your power idea.
