DBD Devs are playing 4D chess
It has definitely occurred to me that the current Jason implementation is very similar to what the Michael Myers gameplay will look like in the upcoming Halloween game.
While Halloween built their entire game around this gameplay mechanic, of being a Myers who can disappear and reappearing from the fog to to get survivors as the slasher killer he is, DBD, though Jason has single handedly destroyed a lot of the novelty around the current vision of their Myers' gameplay through the release of Jason with his current gameplay mechanics.
Although DBD cannot entirely replace all the gameplay a game like Halloween has to offer, just by releasing a killer with similar gameplay mechanics they are showing who is still in charge of the current Asym Horror genre.
It hasn't been the first time they have done this. Deathslinger definitely was the same flex they did to the Fisherman from Hide Or Die
What do you guys think about beHaviour's current humiliation ritual they put all their failing competitors through?

But the friday the 13th game had this mechanic first as far as I know, so if even the halloween game uses it randomly and bhvr just stays true to the license or am I wrong? Although that doesn't matter because I believe the friday the 13th game and halloween game are from the same developers xD
The other Devs are always first indeed. With Hide or Die the gap was 2 years (2018 and 2020), and now we have Jason before the release of halloween
