Dead By Daylight Adding New Silent Hill Content

Now the game is taking its first foray into a realm of horror only previously touched upon with a small collaboration: video games. To celebrate its fourth anniversary, Dead by Daylight is working with Konami to license out characters, a locale, and more from the world of Silent Hill . The crossover for Chapter 16 was officially unveiled during a broadcast today and will be officially released on PC and consoles June 16. Game Rant sat down with Behaviour's Game Director Mathieu Cote, Creative Director Dave Richard, and Head of Public Relations Marie Claude Bernard last week to discuss the ins-and-outs of representing a beloved franch


One thing that was interesting about developing the Silent Hill chapter for Richard was seeing how many people at Behaviour Interactive knew in-depth details about the franchise and locations like Midwich. He said artists came to him with ideas about adding little references, which led to it being "packed with secrets." Cote said this passion emphasizes the franchise's significa


Midwich will be a unique addition to Dead by Daylight because it is a reimagining of the original PlayStation 1 map using modern technology. Richard said usually the developers have to interpret a location fans have seen in films and television, but those who have played Silent Hill will find Dead by Daylight escape tips by Daylight 's take nearly identical — including "winks to the franchise" like remade jump scares and puzzles that don't typically appear in the asymmetrical horror g


For those unfamiliar with asymmetrical multiplayer games , they usually consist of two teams of players with entirely different types of abilities and gameplay mechanics taking on each other, pitting two different spectrums of strategic gameplay mechanics against each other. It requires developers to be particularly creative in how they balance the means for victory, to ensure that the game is fair. Although, in the realm of asymmetry, this can often be more subject


Legendary Outfits are "for sure" something the developers will utilize down the line and may also be applied to previous content according to Cote. However "anything licensed is always extremely delicate," so the team would not be able to comment on whether skins for those properties would be coming until they are ready to be announced. Dead by Daylight is also adding typical cosmetics for Pyramid Head and Heather Mason into the store on the day the new chapter releases, but with a more extensive scope. Richard said it has been hard to add cosmetics for licensed characters like Freddy Krueger because they have a specific "look," but the Silent Hill characters will get original, unique outfits designed in-house by Behaviour through its partnership with Kon


Resident Evil Resistance will certainly test the waters where Evolve left off, and perhaps the mainstream gaming industry is finally ready for the full conceptualization of asymmetric multiplayer games. Fans of the genre should pay close attention to the release of Resident Evil Resistance on April 3, 2020 , as there will be much to gauge from the impact it could have in online gaming upon its release, and it could be a source of future inspirat


"It's kind of funny because a lot of these people were probably two when Silent Hill released. That speaks to the power of the license and how it managed to secure such an important place in video game cultu


Dead by Daylight , perhaps the most popular asymmetrical multiplayer game currently, reverses the roles by having the overly powerful player stalk the other players and ruthlessly annihilate them before they can fulfill the team's objectives. It is the job of the four-person team to avoid detection and run away from the overpowered player, rather than vice-versa. It is the perfect gameplay formula for integrating the simplistic storytelling of a slasher horror film, thereby turning it into an online multiplayer paradigm. Dead by Daylight allows for a maniacal player-controlled annihilator - in similar vein to one's favorite villain among slasher horror films - to chase down and annihilate groups of vulnerable player-controlled individuals with limited abilit


As you use Michael Myer's Stalk ability you will notice Myer's Evil Within gauge begin to increase. Stalking is the primary method in which Myers levels up his Evil Within gauge, as the meter is connected to how long Myers can see a Survivor when in his Stalking mode. The longer a player can look at Survivor while in Stalking the higher the gauge will begin to increase. The level to which this gauge will increase is dependent upon how close the Survivor is to Michael and for how long he can maintain a visual on their hitbox. The closer a Survivor is the more gauge he will gain and the further a Survivor is the less gauge he will rece

Though it is questionable if Resident Evil Resistance can strike the same appeal, given it is mostly limited to the confines of the Resident Evil universe, Capcom can still take note of Dead by Daylight's active and new content creation which keeps the game fresh and sustainable in the long term. Though Resident Evil Resistance has nowhere near the number of playable killers as in Dead by Daylight, Capcom has already shown some initiative to expand by confirming the availability of two new Masterminds in Resident Evil Resistance , which players can control: Alex Wesker and Ozwell E.
