I hope not, we haven't had a male Survivor since Steve or a female Killer since Plague/Demogorgon (I think Demodoggy is a good girl).
That aside, I've seen the first Candyman film. It was boring, the plot left a lot to be desired, and the best part of it, the music, got old after 20 minutes and frustrating after 40.
Also what would Candyman do? Teleport behind Survivors, improbably manage to impale them with his hook, and then blame it on Nea? Apply Deep Wounds with bees?
You have to admit, regardless of how you feel about Candyman, he wouldn't really fit into 'circle the pallet 100 times and get bonked' gameplay loop of DbD.
The main character in the new movie is a dude. So there's your male survivor.
So you didn't like the original movie. Okay I guess? Are you working at Behaviour and have a veto on these decisions? No of course not. You may not like Candyman but many others do. Their support overrides your opposition.
Candyman, a ghost with a hook as an arm, doesn't fit in DBD but the three ghosts we already have (Spirit, Nurse, Freddy) fit? What about the Oni, an ogre? Or the Demogorgan, which isn't even a human? They all fit but not Candyman? C'mon now.
I get it you don't like Candyman, but the devs and many players would like to see him in. So he has a chance.
-
Candyman is looking the most likely. Remember DBD was going to be at E3 this year. Which was to happen around around the same time as Canydman hitting theaters and DBD's 4 year anniversary. The marketing synergy would have been off the charts for both DBD and Universal.
Plus Tony Todd started following the DBD account right after and on the same day as he started following the movie account. Which is suspicious,
Candyman is also a license MCote confirmed, in a podcast last October, that the devs have considered.

That's what happens when there's a shortage of high rank killers. The game has to match high rank survivors with low rank killers so the survivors aren't waiting in queue for absurd times.

Quite a few hackers on the Switch version. Lots of crossplay icons showing up beside names. BHVR should maybe fix that
The devs have been abnormally quiet about these hackers. They can't do much to stop them besides ban them if they are reported.
Besides they don't want to attract any attention to the fact crossplay is already possible and happening without bugs. They want it to be a big surprise reveal for the anniversary event.

Oh? Thats a very interesting tidbit indeed. Where did you find it out?
It was in an old dev video. Claudette was meant to be white and Meg black. It's why Meg is voiced by a Black woman.
-
@Zaitsev said:
Maybe the Deathgarden cosmetics, since that game flopped so badly. Id like to see a Payday 2 reference dropped somewhere, maybe as a Trapper cosmetic, since theres a Trapper mask available in Payday 2.
Also the survivor in the intro isnt Claudette. I dont think the devs decided on survivor names and designs yet. Intro woman is beta claudette.
Or perhaps Im wrong and @Peanits can correct me
If you're talking about the very first trailer released, the black woman is actually the first version of Meg.
-
No. I have too many bad memories of self care (skills checks whenever) and adrenaline screwing me over.

@BlueFirebilly said:
Yes, the gens aren’t the problem, map size is
Map size and certain structures in older maps.
DBD maps should be smaller with designs that emphasis stealth, mind-games, and juking. Not as it is right now where survivors extend chases forever through absurd tiles and buildings on most of the old maps. A lot of the killer cast can't handle that. Hence the limited killer diversity in high ranks.
-
@Rivyn said:
I agree. Maps need to be smaller, gens more closely together, so a killer can patrol more effectively. It shouldn't take 80 seconds to cross a map once, just to hear a gen or two pop.
TFW when you check the wrong corner of Ormond after you spawn and right after hear 2 gens pop. 😑

But there isn't cross platform so you wouldn't be going up against a pc if your in ps4
The servers and game support crossplay between all versions of DBD with the exception of mobile. It's just the devs currently have crossplay turned off for everyone but Steam and Windows Store/PC Xbox Game Pass users. These hackers are enabling that setting within their game to allow them to be matched with console people. They can also hack other people, if they have your IP, and make the game only match you with console users. A streamer was hacked and ended up being only matched with Switch users. The funny thing is he was playing Freddy and on the survivor's end was invisible. As the Switch while having the code for Freddy, lacks the art assets for Freddy
I guarantee we will see an official crossplay announcement at the upcoming Year 4 Anniversary event.

It certainly would, although I suspect a vulnerability like that is a lot more major than it may sound like. It may be the sort of thing that needs the cross play coding adjusted from a very base level. I have no idea.
While I certainly am not one of those who has absolute faith in BHVR, I do give them the benefit of the doubt that if it was a simple fix, they'd have fixed this one already. People having that sort of ability to manipulate the network seems like a pretty big deal.
The game is obviously albe to support full crossplay. The devs just have it disabled on their end. This hack is easy to pull off.
Crossplay is going to be announced at the Year 4 Anniversary Livestream when the roadmap for next year is released. Count on it.
-
Any offical announcement on crossplay and cross-progression is being saved for the upcoming Year 4 Anniversary Stream, which will air sometime in late May/early June.
Be patient. It's coming this year.
-
Crossplay will officially be announced at the upcoming Year 4 Anniversary stream. It's quite obvious. Until then the devs will ignore these hackers and glitches showing the possibility of crossplay.

I doubt it. Steven King followed dbd as well and nothing came of that as of yet.
Steven King never followed DBD. It was DBD who followed Steven King. It was, and still is, obvious that DBD would love to have Pennywise in DBD. I'm sure WB is on board too. King is the last obstacle remaining before it can happen.
The fact that Tony Todd started following the DBD account just after he started following the official movie account is pretty telling.

@Mushwin said:
If they bring Candyman to DBD and it is NOT Tony Todd and this "new" Candyman I will be done.
Tony Todd is the Candyman in the new movie.

Self care is necessary if playing solo. Even more than inner strength
Ha ha. No.
Self care is something that holds the average player back. It only helps the killer.

@SpacingLlamas said:
There's seems to be problems with the Nightmare on El street license and different people owning it at the moment. Which is why the Nintendo switch version doesn't have that dlc.
So I wouldn't expect anything Freddy or Quentin related for awhile
Considering no news about legal disputes between the Craven estate and WB/New Line has come out, I'm sure it will get solved soon. This isn't like Jason.

So what I just said still stands. As quoted by you, "Epic Games forced Sony to back off from their anti-crossplay/cross-save policies. Anything is possible nowadays." Epic Games is a much bigger entity than the owners of DBD. It's still a tricky business deal, and the Devs aren't going to hack their way in. I've no doubt it can or will happen, I'm not saying it won't.
No you don't understand. Sony's change in policy applies to every game on their platform. It's open season for crossplay and cross-saves. It's now all up to the developers and publishers to include those features if they want.

To answer your question, understand that most games that are cross-platform are between Xbox and PC. Mainly because they're both owned by Microsoft. So if the creators did make it cross-platform, someone who bought DBD on Xbox could play it on PC using the Xbox App. However if someone on PC bought DBD off say Steam and not through Xbox or through the Xbox App, they wouldn't be able to play cross-platform. Sea of Thieves is a prime example of this. Does that make sense?
So when it comes to PC trying to cross-platform with PS4, its competitor, it's tricky.
It's not tricky at all. Games like Paladins, Fortnite, Rocket League, COD, Minecraft, MK11, have crossplay between consoles and/or PC & mobile.
Epic Games forced Sony to back off from their anti-crossplay/cross-save policies. Anything is possible nowadays.
DBD already supports crossplay between Steam and the Windows Store/Xbox Game Pass for PC... and consoles. Yes consoles too. Russian hackers have managed to edit their game to allow them to be paired up with Playstation 4 players with no issue.
I guarantee the devs will have crossplay and maybe cross-saves as one of their big reveals for the upcoming Year 4 anniversary livestream.
-
Let's just say after 550 hours I haven't had a single killer tell me to kill myself, when I've seen hundreds of survivors say that to me or someone else. Not to mention the threats of violence, trash talking, racial slurs, and the harassament outside of the game when they leave negative comments on your Steam profile page.
The worst I've seen from killers is the rare "gg ez" or "y'all suck."
-
That's what happens when there's not enough red and purple rank killers. You get red and purple rank survivors being matched with low rank killers.
-
They're going to be at E3 this year. Which takes place June 8th - 11th. DBD's anniversary is June 14th. So you bet your ass they have a licensed chapter to show off. Speaking of potential licenses the new Jordon Pelee's Candyman movie has a theatrical release date of June 12th. Candyman is a killer that MCote said the devs have considered in a podcast last October.
The Candyman IP is with Universal. So is the Halloween IP. Last year the devs went to Universal to negotiate for Halloween cosmetics. When the devs went to Lionsgate to negotiate for Saw cosmetics, Ash vs Evil Dead was brought up. Maybe the same thing happened with Halloween cosmetics and Candyman? 🤔
-
At long last the forums aren't bugged on mobile for me anymore. 🙂
-
It might not be PC hackers in this case. Did they have the crossplay globe icon next to their name in the endgame screen? If not then it was a bug. There was a bug that when a killer hits the survivor and they gained the temporary speed boost, the survivors maintained the boost until healed or downed.
-
I'm guessing they will announce crossplay at the Year 4 Anniversary Stream/Event when they reveal the roadmap for the next year. Possible cross-saves too. The devs have mentioned wanting to add these features. They've just never made any official statement on the matter regarding dates and plans.
It's techincally already possible as PC hackers playing on the Steam version of the game have been able to enable their game to match them with PS4 players without any bugs present.

@ClickyClicky said:
Because having afk killers or suiciding survivors in half the games is a lot better and really healthy for the game right?
I and my friend played 3 hours of DBD yesterday and only 1 survivor suicided on a hook. Why do people have to exaggerate these things? DC penalties are here to say. There will be no more rage quitting anymore for toxic folks.
The devs should just adjust the DC punishment times to be less severe but that's it.

Yea if there was a sufficient amount of killers right now. But there isnt there is a deficit. If 20% of survivor mains started playing killer, queues would be so much better
The problem is the killer deficet is only at high ranks (1-10). If the devs had added more killer archive challenges most of those survivor only players forced to play killer would have been low rank killers (11-20). And the game currently has a surplus of killers in those ranks.
-
It's because for every 1 killer queuing up you need 4 survivors. The devs don't want too many people playing as killer just to do archive challenges. Which would screw up queue times for everybody.
-
@ProfoundEnding said:
And yet still no old lady. 99% of our female roster is under 30. What happened to diversity?
Yeah. Jane is our only older woman. The guys have Ash, Bill, Ace, Tapp, and Jeff.
-
Yes you will be able to see what walls are breakable. You already can see them in Lery's.
-
If you play on Lery's you can already see where the breakable portions of the walls are.
So going by it there won't be that many on a map. About the same amount as their are window vaults but not as much as their are pallet spawns.
-
OMG! A brand new game mechanic that's not tied to a perk has been added. Somebody do something! /s

@Thatbrownmonster said:
Maybe since I am not an american I don't see that as a threat, but wouldn't cops like knock on the door first to realize the situation instead of barging in?
In Swatting the caller will say that their is an armed person with hostages or that they've already killed people. Maybe they'll say they have a bomb. The whole point is to ensure only the SWAT teams show up and not normal police officers.

Its a meaphor FFS. I dont know how long you have played this game. IDK. go look it up yourself. IM not here to be the index to this game. Its been awhile back. They have certainly done quite a bit.
- Dev stream sometime ago.. simple times with simple... They shrunk pallet circles.
- Nothing was mentioned about the add-on nerfs to the green map.
- The medkits with purple bottle and pink syringe, nerfed.
They also buffed lockers so they make survivors immune to every aura perk. BT was buffed after Legion got added. Nurse and Spirit were nerfed. Plus they just nerfed the most popular killer perk.
The dev team gets way too much flack for being biased for one side over the other.
-
@InnCognito said:
We do live in an impatient society and people like "Rapid fire gaming" it is why people are here instead of playing an MMO . You want "hot action" in a game that feels "high octane". Hence why survivors run around leaving scratch marks on the ground, instead of hiding in corners.
But then again. you look at how the game has been forced-shifted into this mentality. We go from hiding, to about EVERY perk under the sun, that gives killers a FREE PASS to locations of survivors.
"Go hide in a locker". -- What locker, they took half of them out.
They took out half the lockers? That's news to me. Can you show me witch patch notes say this?
-
Really now? We're creating concern troll threads about swatting to justify removing the DC penalties? Anyone who is toxic and dangerous enough to swatt another individual over a video game has issues and it's not the fault of Behaviour implementing a DC ban system.
-
@Oicimau said:
The reason I dont want crossplataform is cause PS4 is hack-safe. They should implement an option to choose playing only against other consoles, and not PCs. Just as in Fortnite. I would not like to play against PC and get all that hacking.
When they enable crossplay on consoles it will come with a setting to disable/enable it as the Steam and Microsoft Store/PC Xbox Gamepass versions do.
With that said hacking is rare on PC DBD. You won't see it that much when crossplay arrives. Especially when under crossplay I'm guessing PS4/Xbox/Switch players will outnumber PC players.
-
The devs wont address this because it de facto confirms crossplay is already possible. They just haven't enabled it. My guess is they're waiting for Xbox to get dedicated servers and the Switch to get Freddy before any official plans.
-
Fun fact: The design of Nemesis from Resident Evil was inspired by this character.
-
I'll admit sometimes when I go to pick up up downed survivors by a pallet I'm afraid a hidden Claudette will pop out and stun me.
-
The Cenobite.
If it's not Pinhead then maybe the Monster, the Beast, or the Freak.

@Talmeer said:
I like original killers more. It's easier to accept that a killer did not the on or other action or getting looped if it is a original killer.
To see the same by some possible licensed killer is a experience I would never like to have.
But that is just my opinion.
I'm the opposite. I prefer licensed killers. As a huge horror fan it's fun to see all these franchises crossover with each other.
-
Dead by Daylight was released on the 16th of June. So the live stream will be sometime before that date. Last year's stream was on May 31rst.
-
My hunch is that they're saving the crossplay announcement for the Year 4 anniversary live stream. Remember Xbox still does not have the dedicated servers enabled and Switch lacks Nightmare on Elm Street content. Until those two issues are resolved full crossplay can't be implemented.

https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/128723/the-amount-of-swf-groups-on-console-is-unreal
Swf quality is incredibly low on console and pc. Very few are actually any good.
Same with solos. But solos don’t have voice chat so SWF will always have an advantage.
-
We should get our first teaser sometime this week.
-
Spirit, Billy, Nurse, and Freddy are widely agreed on having good gen pressure.
Oni and Legion are more debatable but I'd say they have good gen pressure too.
Every other killer has issues that keep them from having good gen pressure.

As a rank 10 I'm still being matched against ranks 1s and 2s. How did matchmaking get this broken?
The MM isn't broken. There simply aren't enough red and purple rank killers for high rank survivors to be matched against.
