Warning this is going to be a very lengthy blog entry. Please take as many breaks as inhumanly possible you'll need it!!!
Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I waited a few weeks to take part in Dead by Daylight's new survey. It actually was four of them you could choose between. Right now, a lot of people talking about new licenses survey. I don't plan to fully cover the entire survey from start to finish. Otherwise this would be a ridiculously long blog entry it's already going to be long to begin with.
I just wanna discuss the very section everyone talking about. I believe it's on the second page with a very long list of franchises. There's no limits how many you could mark off. You bet I picked a lot of franchises here!!! It's on the borderline of insanity after you fully see the lineup I chosen. Trust me when I say you are going to have a difficult time believing this!!!
I will be discussing every single franchise I chosen in alphabet order. Which strangely worked out way better than I expected. The lineup will quickly speak for itself after I take the time to go through them all. Obviously everyone having different tastes could pick a lot of franchises I wouldn't chosen, pick much fewer franchises or not do the survey at all.
1. A Quiet Place
I seen some of the movies with my wife. The concept of aliens that hunts by sound. Forcing survivors to communicate in a way the aliens won't know. There's a lot of potential what the team could do with the franchise. We are due for a killer that's designed like this.
I know we already have an Xenomorph from Alien franchise in the game. I do think these aliens differ enough to bring a rather unique experience. Some good survivor choices from the movies. I do think A Quiet Place is going to fit in surprisingly well. The only thing I would ask for is playing off finding survivors by sounds.
2. Among Us
I know this seems like a bit weird. Among Us has a crew with one or more secretly Imposters that plans to kill the crew. Cosmetics wise they might get a little creative. Considering it's a different style matches from Dead by Daylight. They could bring in some of it's aspects to make the characters fit in better.
Among Us was critical to a lot of people during COVID a couple years ago. I think to those people seeing these characters would mean a lot to them. They even could tie in to the show as well. Among Us easily would bring in a lot of people. Imposter could be added as a killer that could bring some uniqueness as well as paranoia.
3. Annabelle
Now I know Annabelle is actually from The Conjuring Universe. Which is the closest thing to a modern Universal Monsters cinematic universe. More directly I would be talking about the famous doll itself. The doll isn't actually possessed but rather used as an anchor to keep an demon in our world.
Annabelle quickly become one of the biggest horror franchises in years. I could see some possible cosmetics getting added. Obviously they could have someone carrying the doll during matches. At the moment, I don't think it could work by itself to be a full chapter or half chapter.
4. Batman
This might be a controversial choice. Batman has a notable history of dark stories. Some of his recurring enemies like Clayface could be terrifying to people. Considering how well Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight doing. They could go for so many versions of the franchise.
They easily go in a much lighter direction like Scooby-Doo or way darker? There's just something about Batman people just wants more of. I do see ways how Batman could do amazingly well in Dead by Daylight. Both sides having some amazing characters to choose from.
5. Beetlejuice
There's a few possible angles with Beetlejuice they could go for. For the younger audience, there was a Beetlejuice cartoon show. Which I do remembered watching growing up years ago. Obviously there's the original movie people absolutely loves!!!
More recently, there's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice bringing in newer looks to older characters. They also could bring in some of the newer characters. I personally would go for Lydia as my main survivor choice. Beetlejuice being a killer actually could be a lot of fun if the team gets creative about it.
6. Berserk
Yes I'm so glad Berserk is listed in the survey. Now here's a truly dark manga series that belongs to be in this game. Guts was an unusual strong man that literately went through Hell. There's a huge variety of creatures to keep things interesting. I really would love Berserker Guts being a legacy skin for The Knight.
There's some amazing cosmetic choices here. I don't think they would go for Griffith as a killer. But they still might bring in as a legacy skin for another killer. Berserk is still continuing despite the author passed away. I do think there's still enough fans that would be overjoyed to see the franchise cross over here.
7. BioShock
I always been a huge BioShock fan for a long time. I played both versions of the first two BioShock games. There's a few possible survivor choices with Elizabeth being my top choice. It depends if they want an villain character or another what if killer situation to happen?
Personally I have a great concept for a what if scenario that could work well. BioShock is largely known for an underwater city named Rapture. Which should be represented in a map. They actually could do so much with the franchise. Cosmetics could be truly sick as well.
8. Chainsaw Man
I know I'm going to be a broken record here. Chainsaw Man is one of my most wanted manga/anime franchises. There's a couple great ways to bridge Chainsaw Man into Dead by Daylight. Some possibly sick cosmetic choices. Denji easily my top survivor choice.
I actually have a few possible killer choices. I know Makima is heavily requested. I also felt Falling Devil could do amazingly well in this game. Both of them would change the game dramatically. Chainsaw Man in all honestly, is a must have franchise for this game.
9. Corpse Party
I will be honest, I know a little of the franchise. Majority of what I seen is difficult to look at horror stuff in a good way. I'm sure both sides would have some amazing choices especially cosmetics. Also it's a good franchise to let so many other licensors know their franchises also eventually join the game.
Corpse Party is a rather mess up concept even for a video game franchise. The art style if they recreate it enough going to blow people away. I also think a lot of people would quickly jump on cosmetics or characters from the franchise. It's not on a lot of people's radars yet it could make an unexpected huge impact!!!
10. Dangaronpa
Here's a crazy video game franchise not a lot of people knows about. Dangaronpa is like Ace Attorney games but the guilty will be given death sentences. A lot of the characters are surprisingly intelligent people. Occasionally, Monokuma shows up bringing despair to a degree.
The art style also would help bring in more people. But I also felt cosmetics going to be amazing. They easily could pick characters for both sides. Danganrona is a story based game giving the team plenty to work with. Especially altering their stories to how they gotten taken by The Entity could be more interesting than expected.
11. Darkstalkers
I'm so happy to see Darkstalkers in the listing. Now I know what some people going to say. It's a horror fighting game franchise yes that's true. But they have a few possible killers they could choose from. The roster is a huge variety of beings. Which is perfect for Dead by Daylight.
I doubt two video game companies agree to Demitri being a legacy for Dracula. I really think they could do a lot with the franchise. Darkstalkers always been my favorite Capcom fighting game franchise. As long it's not the terrible cartoon show, a lot of people going to love seeing the franchise here.
12. DCeased
This is basically DC comics does a full huge scale zombie story. This easily could bring in some amazing characters for both sides. Some truly sick cosmetics being a highlight here. Also considering they're adding in a zombies mode. This easily could be used to tie in with that.
DCeased could be the perfect angle for DC to team up with Dead by Daylight. Not only that, we still need more comic stuff added. Especially if they could recreate how these versions of the characters were drawn. I think a lot of DC fans wanna play this!!!
13. Dead Rising
Dead Rising differs from Resident Evil in many ways. A crossover would help confirm that to a lot of people. There's a few possible survivor choices with plenty on the killer side. There's a lot of possible outfits they could pull from the franchise. They even could create a few new cosmetics as well.
I also hope they could recreate some of the smaller game play aspects. Dead Rising has humor within the game play. Which could go a long way with a lot of people. A few possible maps they could pull from. Dead Rising is a franchise that could do amazingly well in Dead by Daylight.
14. Dead Space
Dead Space would help bring more space theme horror to the game. Isaac would be a great choice for the survivors. Not sure what could be chosen to represent the killer for this franchise. What I do know is recreating some game play mechanics. Easily makes this crossover a slam dunk!!!
Dead Space also could bring in some truly sick cosmetics. Even if it's just a cosmetics collection it'll do well. Although a full chapter could do wonders for this game. I do think Dead Space is big enough to bring in a lot of people. I would be curious to see how creativity they could get with the franchise myself.
15. Death Note
Death Note is an manga/anime franchise that meant a lot to me. There's some amazing characters on both sides they possibly could go for. I'm more curious to see how they possibly go about the cosmetics. Killers wise people are expecting either Light or Ryuk.
Both would use an death note that causes people to die. I know why even consider bringing this book into Dead by Daylight right? I have to ask the opposite question why the hell not? This book is among the most feared books in manga/anime history!!!
16. Demon Slayer
On the surface it might not quite line up. Demon Slayer was a popular manga/anime franchise. Which also had some truly impressive artwork. They have a more epic showcase of demons that might not be considered scary. But there's some possibly scary characters in the franchise.
I felt this would have a huge cosmetics appeal. Considering how well Tokyo Ghoul done with that. I do think Demon Slayer could even out do that. Demon Slayer easily bring in a lot of people. I don't think they could make a full chapter. But they still could get so much out of a crossover.
17. Devil May Cry
Speaking of demons, Devil May Cry could bring in a lot. Survivors would work better as legacy skin cosmetics. The killer could be a few possible villain characters including Dante's brother Vergil. There's a possible angle that could work as a full chapter.
Assuming they might go that route could give the fans a sick new intro to the game. If the characters reprise voice actors could bring in a lot of appeal. I don't think people wants the newer Netflix show version though. Same with DmC game as well but still plenty of great stuff to work with.
18. Dino Crisis
For me, this quickly became a must after I properly gotten into the first two games. The first Dino Crisis was a rather intense survival horror game. The second Dino Crisis being this unique arcade style action game. Similar to the first two Alien movies shifted genres.
I highly doubt people wants Dino Crisis 3 involved. They easily could pull in some amazing cosmetics. Regina would be the top choice for a survivor. There's a few possible angles if they wanna do a killer. Personally I would rather have a map more than an actual killer for this particular franchise.
19. DOOM
Of course I had to select DOOM!!! DOOM was among the first horror game franchises to get big. Yes it was more of a rather unique FPS game. But there was some notable horror aspects with newer entries having more horror elements. At the same time, Doom Slayer being a great survivor choice.
People would bring whatever they're doing to just play as this guy!!! There's a couple possible villain characters that could be the killer for the chapter. Even as a cosmetics collection, there's some truly sick ones available. DOOM also could have The Deathslinger helped in tie in the iconic FPS game franchise.
20. Fallout
Here's an franchise I have trouble properly getting into. But an handful of Fallout games notably changed my life!!! Fallout would bring in post apocalyptic theme to the game. There's plenty of characters on both sides to choose from. Not only that some truly sick cosmetics as well.
Fallout show also could help bring in people. I rather go more directly for the iconic video game franchise if I were them. A possible new map that could be so many locations in the franchise. I see truly ridiculous potential that's awaiting to be used for Dead by Daylight.
21. Fatal Frame
I know some people might not want Fatal Frame. Partly due to a few similar concepts they previously went for including Ringu. Some view some of these horror games among the absolute scariest they ever played!!! There's a few possible choices for the survivors.
I really hope they add in using a camera if the killer being one of it's many ghosts. Recently Fatal Frama crossed over with Silent Hill. This even could be used to bridge in Fatal Frame to Dead by Daylight. There's just this unsettling, spine chilling terror this franchise brings!!!
22. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
I was very surprised to see this among the many franchises listed. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is officially the second anime adaptation of the manga series. This actually more directly based on that story. The first anime was notably lighter while it actually more meant to be much darker!!!
There's plenty of great choices on both sides. Especially cosmetics that could bring in a lot of people. They easily could bring in so much with this franchise. I just don't want the live action movie versions to show up. I do think this anime would really bring in a lot of people if it's done just right.
23. Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters was among the most unexpected takes of a genre in history. It's more of a comedy horror movie franchise. Which also had a few cartoon shows giving the team a lot to work with. They are still making Ghostbusters movies. They easily could go more iconic with the older characters or go big on the newer ones?
Extreme Ghostbusters is among a few don't do for this crossover. There's a good variety of choices on both sides. Yes I'm aware there's online multiplayer Ghostbusters game. Ghostbusters is just something that brings people in. I would love to see what they could do with the franchise.
24. Ghosts 'n Goblins
I always welcome in more Capcom franchises. You knew I had to select Ghosts 'n Goblins. Yes let's get this out the way, a famously different video game franchise. Yet there's still plenty other aspects that could work perfectly in this game. The survivor choice is going to be Arthur.
It's a rather interesting debate who should be the killer from this franchise? I would like to see some of the game play aspects get recreated to a degree. I do think Capcom willing to go a little bigger than expected for this. Even as a cosmetics collection, this could do amazingly well.
25. Gremlins
I always been a huge Gremlins fan. I only seen the first two movies. But these creatures left such a huge impression on me. I actually think they got more than enough to go big on a full chapter. There's a few possible choices on both sides. Especially adding some amazing cosmetics.
Can you imagine playing as one of these things during a match? Yeah it would be a little similar to Chucky. I actually see the team getting quite creative with it. Gremlins also could get some sick original cosmetics. I really do think they could do so much with the franchise it's a must for me.
26. GWAR
This is mostly going to be a cosmetics. I'm not even sure if some members of the band agree to being added in as legacy skin characters. If you haven't seen the band, they have these sick costumes while they perform their songs!!! They just collaborated with a third band being Ice Nine Kills.
I could see some truly sick cosmetics coming to the game. It needs to be better than Slipknot collaboration!!! I wanna be wow when I see these cosmetics in the near future. A big if they could also add in skins based on Beavis & Butt-Head version of themselves.
27. Highschool of the Dead
Highschool of the Dead was an manga/anime franchise. Unfortunately just when it was about to get big. The author unexpectedly passed away that caused a notable hiatus. Slowly some crossovers started to show up. There's a couple possible survivor choices.
I don't think they have anyone major enough to be the killer. They often take on zombies being perfect for the new zombies mode. Cosmetics is going to be a highlight here. I do think if they could get the theme song. A lot of people would absolutely wanna play this!!!
28. It
Despite Stephen King may never allow more video games based on his stories or crossovers within other video games. There's so many people that really wants this chapter badly. Especially now with It: Welcome to Derry show. Right now, Pennywise is currently the most requested horror icon to date.
Pennywise would easily bring in so much!!! Some possible survivor choices with many possible cosmetics for Pennywise. Some rather unique killer game play that everyone needs to experience before they die!!! It's going to be something you just need to see with your own two eyes!!!
29. Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park now Jurassic World became a huge request for Dead by Daylight. People wants to be hunted by a dinosaur. I rather go with the Indoraptor since anyone could make an Raptor. Some great choices for the survivors. Some possible sick cosmetics that could get added in.
Jurassic Park could change enough of the overall experience. For someone truly unexpected that almost felt like a completely different game. Especially if they go with that hybrid dinosaur. A new map being somewhere from the franchise would guarantee millions of dollars I'm not kidding.
30. Kaiju No. 8
Kaiju No. 8 is an manga/anime franchise with a rather unexpected twist. The protagonist swallowed an insect to ended up getting the ability. He can become a giant monster to take on other giant monsters. I know this has some similarities with Attack on Titan.
Which they previously crossed over with. But I do think both sides has some possible choices. Even if they end up doing just cosmetics. I do think there's a lot of people interested in this franchise. Kaiju No. 8 also would help bringing in kaiju fans as well.
31. Marvel Zombies
Marvel Zombies was a rather unexpected what if story. Which quickly became it's own successful franchise even gotten it's own MCU show. The concept is more characters becoming zombies with not many living left. At one point, they crossed over with Evil Dead franchise.
Ash came to Dead by Daylight alone. But he also could help tie in Marvel Zombies. Assuming if Mr. Campbell willing to help with that. This would work best as a cosmetics collection. Some truly sick cosmetics that would be amazing. They also could be used for their zombies mode as well.
32. Metal Gear Solid
I know this is one of my most unexcepted choices. There's a few aspects that sorta plays into horror. This is more of a heavily story driven action stealth game franchise. A rather iconic one at that easily doing wonders here. Unfortunately, Hideo Kojima won't be involved that takes a lot of the appeal away.
There's still insane potential they possibly could go for. On both sides some truly fantastic characters to choose from. A lot of possible cosmetics for both sides that could help bring in a lot of people. I really do think this is going to be way better than Metal Gear Survive not sorry!!!
33. Mortal Kombat
Yes Mortal Kombat is for the most a huge name fighting game franchise. There's a huge variety of beings from many realms in the series. Plenty of great choices on both sides to choose from. The newer entries added in customization further increased cosmetics appeal!!!
Everyone knows Mortal Kombat has some truly difficult to watch finishers. They had a few horror icons like Freddy, Jason, Leatherface and Ghostface respectively. Which easily could be used to help tie into Dead by Daylight. I really do believe Mortal Kombat could so much for this game!!!
34. Onimusha
Onimusha is a Capcom franchise that came back. There's a new entry on the way soon. Onimusha has some possible choices on both sides. I do believe the cosmetics going to be a highlight here. Onimusha easily would help bring in more people. I know this seem like a weird odd choice at first.
I do think Onimusha could work better than expected. Not only that, if they go a full chapter route. A new sick intro for the game as well. I could see a sick Onimusha inspired skin for The Oni. This also would help in bringing more cultures. Onimusha could be huge success for the game.
35. Parasite Eve
Originally a book that gotten a movie. Which ended up getting a horror RPG video game franchise. Like Resident Evil, Parasite Eve plays on DNA especially mutation. I felt it's very obvious which characters to go for on both sides. Some possibly sick cosmetics could bring a lot to the experience.
Parasite Eve was like Resident Evil but having RPG elements to a degree. It would be amazing if they somehow could recreate of that game play mechanics. Parasite Eve could possibly bring in a lot of people as well. If Square Enix goes big, this could bring back the video game franchise soon.
36. Parasyte
Parasyte was inspired by The Thing (1982 film) while some notably changes to the concept. These aliens were a lot faster with superior senses. Despite most being primitive are surprisingly clever monsters. Shinichi needs to be the survivor for this chapter.
There's a few possible choices for the killer. I do think cosmetics going to be a highlight. Especially if The Thing isn't in the game yet. This could help convince Universal to make that crossover happen. Parasyte somehow made several aspects of The Thing even scarier!!!
37. Persona
Persona is a huge unique RPG video game franchise. The concept involves people in the internet more like actually inside a digital world. Not only they gain powers they also gain personas that all differ in what they do. It's more like a more awesome Digimon that's somehow even more epic!!!
There are some possible horror aspects but the story telling is amazing stuff!!! Plenty of characters to choose from on both sides. Some truly great cosmetics they possibly could go for. Persona would do more than change the game. It would be two completely different games in a row into something truly amazing level stuff!!!
38. Predator
Here's one of the most requested movie franchises to date for the team. Predator is such a huge franchise with many possible angles they could do it in. Right now it heavily depends which variation Disney willing to hand over to the team? I doubt we get some old and new thrown together.
Although if that were to happen come be something absolutely amazing!!! Predator easily could be a rather unique trap theme killer. Some brutal moris you could do during matches. A few great survivor choices from. I do think everyone would drop what they're doing to play Predator in this game!!!
39. Scary Movie
I'm not surprised because people freaked out the game cameo in Scary Movie (2026) aka Scary Movie 6. There's a few possible survivors with Cindy being the top choice. They also have a few possible killer choices as well. A lot of franchises already in Dead by Daylight they parodied.
They already gotten the famous Ghostface mask from the original Scary Movie film. I would love to see some cosmetics as well. Scary Movie would be a great one to help bring in more people. I also think the Wayans being involved it's going to be a great crossover.
40. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
I was a little surprised to see this franchise. It was a rather unusual take for a ghost story. Every victim would have their greatest fears coming after them. This ghost was capable of exposing fear in a way you won't forget. This would work best as a cosmetics collection.
Although there's a few possible survivor choices. I'm not sure how they would go about the ghost in this game. There's a few spirits among the killers to clarify. I do think a new map could help bring in the franchise. I also think the lore for the crossover could be among the most interesting aspects.
41. Scream
No surprise of course I had to pick Scream. I don't think they would go for any of the actual killers. There's a few possible survivor choices with Sidney being the top choice. A new map also could help to a degree since Ghostface already in the game. Scream would just need to cover everything else.
This easily should be a slam dunk. One of the most iconic slasher horror movie franchises in history. There's some room for a few possible cosmetics as well. I do think Scream even as a half chapter could do well. It's just weird Scream still not fully in the game yet.
42. Shaun of the Dead
Shaun of the Dead was a surprisingly funny comedy horror parody movie. Also part of a rather unusual trilogy of movies with two actors shared between them. Obviously this could tie in so well to their zombies mode. Shaun needs to be the survivor for the crossover hands down!!!
Some possible comical cosmetics like Zombie Ed would be my favorite. A big if a possible new map could come along with some of these characters. Shaun of the Dead also bring in more humor that somehow ties in perfectly. I actually would drop everything to play anything pulled from that zombie movie honestly.
43. Slender Man
Slender Man is the most requested creepy pasta character for the game. Dating back to 2009 with so many indie video games. Very few of which are officially licensed video games. There also was a popular YouTube web show with a different take of the creature.
I don't think we're getting a survivor with this crossover. Obviously Slender Man in some form belongs in this game. Also this would help bring in more indie horror franchises. A few possible cosmetics for the creature. I do think the demand is big enough to justify just him coming to the game going to be huge success!!!
44. Smile
I only seen the first Smile movie. A few days ago, Smile 3 confirmed to be in production. Smile is a rather unusual take on a concept. Essentially the entity in question is a demon. This thing occasionally shape shifts to do such awkward smiling that's beyond creepy.
There's a few possible survivor choices. I don't know how they would have you play as this thing in all honestly. I do however see some rather twisted cosmetics. Including that smile that's very unsettling. At the moment, I think it would work better as a cosmetics collection than a full or half chapter for the game.
45. Spawn
I know to a degree I need to explain why I selected Spawn? Yes Spawn is a comic book franchise with several adaptations. Not to mention, some very strong similarities with Marvel comics' Ghost Rider. Al Simmons hands down deserves to be the survivor in this game minus his entire arsenal.
Spawn fought a huge variety of beings. Some of the villain characters especially The Violator are true monsters!!! Yes that guy is my top choice for the killer side. I personally would like a map that goes to and from Hell. I also think cosmetics especially with Todd McFarlane involved going to be really sick!!!
46. Spider-Man
I will be honest I was close to not selecting Spider-Man. Then I realized there's a good amount they actually could pull from. More recently I'm seeing people wanting Carnage in the game, so do I!!! An handful of his recurring enemies could easily be selected for the killers side.
There's a few decent survivor choices to pick from. I also think the cosmetics going to be amazing!!! Spider-Man is such a huge Marvel franchise. An handful of Spider-Man stuff would easily become their top sellers. Just imagine going full chapter with this franchise could do?
47. Supernatural
Supernatural was one of The CW's longest ran shows. Two brothers that's hunters that take on virtually anything you possibly could name. There's so many characters on both sides to choose from. Cosmetics is going to be among the most discussed in history of this game.
Supernatural had so many ridiculous possibilities. Yet everything is perfect to bridge into Dead by Daylight. It's also true some spin off shows weren't as successful. Supernatural had a lot of books the show does referenced to a degree. This is among my most wanted show crossovers for the game currently.
48. Terminator
I know this might be seen as a huge stretch!!! Some people do fear the future to a degree. Indirectly it plays on the famous Y2K thing from the early 2000s. There's plenty of characters on both sides to choose from. Cosmetics are going to be in such huge demand especially if Schwarzenegger and Patrick gets involved.
I would've chosen Sarah Connor as the survivor with T-1000 being the killer. Terminator 2: Judgment Day still the most popular entry in the franchise. I felt it just makes sense to go big on that Terminator movie!!! A new map could help a little bit. Ultimately what we actually need is some unique mechanics getting added in.
49. The Addams Family
I don't know if they included Wednesday show into this or not. One of the last surveys that asked about franchises had both listed separately. The concept involves a rather unusual family that are very kind despite their life styles. More seen as a comedy series including it's adaptations.
Wednesday show would work better as a full chapter. The Addams Family would work better as a cosmetics collection with so many versions to choose from. For me, it would be absolutely a lot to see this crossover happen in some form. The Addams Family would easily bring in a lot of people.
50. The Backrooms
The Backrooms was a famous creepy pasta concept about entered a room that's infinite in scope. Similar to SCP series' Infinite Ikea in a few ways. Both has an unusual entities humans could encounter. People gets lost as well as afraid plays into many situations.
I'm not sure if the team could do justice with recreating the location. There's a lot of video games based on this concept. More recently, a very successful indie horror movie based on it. It might be the right level of weird to get some more people into Dead by Daylight.
51. The Conjuring
The Conjuring is a successful horror cinematic universe. The modern day counterpart to Universal Monsters. It started with a couple that ended up being the connection to many supernatural entities. I do see a lot of requests for this particular crossover to happen.
The Conjuring easily could pull from Annabelle but more. This easily has plenty to justify a full chapter. There's a few possible survivors with the couple being the top choices. Everyone wants a particular demon that's in The Nun series to be the killer. I actually think this could be a very successful crossover if it ever happens!!!
52. The Crow
The Crow is essentially at it's core a series of stories. Each having a different protagonist that died with someone they loved. They ended up being revived with powers to get their vengeance against a group of people. I know some people might question if any of the protagonists could be the survivors.
I do think there's a couple decent villain characters that easily be on the killers side. The Crow was a rather unusual take on comic book stories. I don't think people wants a few movies involve with the crossover. I do think The Crow could justify as a cosmetics collection as a backup plan.
53. The Dark Tower
Here's a rather ambitious franchise to go for. The Dark Tower is about a man named Roland journey to reach the Dark Tower. Roland gotten to explore a few universes on this journey. I know a big if Stephen King say yes. Considering every story King written that's connected together.
The Dark Tower could easily bridge into Dead by Daylight perfectly!!! Roland is the obvious survivor choice with a few other characters. The Man in Black would be the killer who has many names including Randall Flagg from The Stand. Even a cosmetics collection would be in huge demand as well.
54. The House of the Dead
The House of the Dead wasn't a franchise I expected to see listed honestly. A horror light gun game franchise with zombies. Of course, they easily could tie into the new zombies mode with this. There's plenty characters on the survivors side to choose from.
It's a bit debatable who should represent the killer side from this franchise. What we do know it could work as an half chapter. I don't think Sega could go bigger than that. We may even have to accept a possible cosmetics collection. As long they don't pull from the movies I think everyone going to be happy.
55. The Nun
Similar to Annabelle, I don't think The Nun would work well on it's own. At the moment, the cosmetics could be better than what Annabelle could be offering. This could work as an half chapter with the demon. But I don't know for a full chapter even with an obvious survivor choice.
The Nun would bring in religion to the game. Which might possibly offend some religious people. Otherwise, I do think The Nun could still do fine. I really wish I could make a better argument. In all honestly, what's keeping people interested is that demon!!!
56. The Return of the Living Dead
I really was surprised to see The Return of the Living Dead on the listing. The movies notably differ in quality from each other. The last two more recent entries are more connected together. I felt the first two entries would be the best for this crossover.
There's a few possible survivors to choose from. I don't think even Tar Man would be the killer. But it also could tie in with their zombies mode. The earlier entries were more comical horror that quickly gets insane fast. I do think a cosmetics collection would be the way to go for this franchise.
57. The Shining
Yes I know another Stephen King franchise. Look everybody talks about The Shining in some form. This would include it's sequel Doctor Sleep. There's a few adaptations that could be used. Although King would openly refuse to allow the classic movie version.
Danny would only be chosen as a survivor from Doctor Sleep. His father Jack could be the killer of that chapter. Bridging the two stories together with a possible new map being the Overlook Hotel. I do think some cosmetics could be interesting. Personally I am hoping they make a reference to The Simpsons.
58. The Thing
The Thing is among my most wanted horror movie franchises to date. I know we already gotten an Xenomorph. To me, these aliens was much scarier!!! MacReady being the obvious survivor choice. Even if we don't get a new snow map. I do think there's still a lot of potential here.
Especially if John Carpenter does a few songs for this crossover. This should be a home run guarantee!!! This creature is going to bring paranoid unlike anything prior. A cosmetics collection going to be absolutely amazing!!! The Thing is a must for me I'll drop everything to play this creature or MacReady for that matter.
59. Trick 'r Treat
My wife actually introduced me to Trick 'r Treat movie. Not to be confused with a few horror movies with the same title. This one was a rather cool Halloween theme horror anthology movie. A lot of people hoping a sequel might happen. The cosmetics for both sides going to be sick!!!
There's a few possible killer choices. This might actually work better without a survivor coming. Trick 'r Treat was essentially the perfect Halloween movie!!! Now bringing that into Dead by Daylight would be heaven for a lot of people. I do think this crossover going to be a huge hit!!!
60. Twisted Metal
The famous car combat game franchise. I don't think the team would go for the game license since Sony decided to be exclusive. Besides the show being popular would allow the franchise onto many platforms. Twisted Metal has some crazy characters including Sweet Tooth. The cosmetics collection alone would be enough reason to go big on this franchise.
I doubt people wants more killer clowns right now. I personally would've welcome in Sweet Tooth. There's a few possible survivors from the show. One of the female killers could get an Minion legacy skin. Calypso meeting with The Entity could be a highlight. This also would bring in wishes something surprisingly missing from everything else Dead by Daylight has.
61. Universal Monsters
I was a little surprised a lot of people wanted Universal Monsters in this game. The classic horror cinematic universe coming to Dead by Daylight could do wonders. I do worry most DbD players aren't going to be familiar enough with those horror movies though. Thankfully in every other category they really have so much to work with.
A cosmetics collection would be amazing stuff!!! There's plenty characters on both sides that could join the roster. I doubt they bring in a new map which would've been highly debatable to choose one. I do think this would bring in a lot of older horror fans. If done right this easily could bring in a lot newer horror fans as well.
Conclusion
I don't plan to do this again ever!!!. I'm a little happy a lot of these I barely talked about here. This acted as a nice bridge to those franchises I wanted to discuss here. I know I selected a couple that may never show up in the game. But they did ask which franchises was I interested in seeing joining the game? In all honestly, the reaction I'm getting from all this is even some older franchises has a shot to happen.
There's so much untouched boundaries with these crossovers. A large amount of them would transform Dead by Daylight in vastly different horror games. It's this level of creativity that's gotten me quite excited!!! I do believe this survey going to truly speak volumes to the team. I also felt some people may had the reaction to a few franchises that surprisingly shown up.
Dead by Daylight is on the verge of changing the world with every chapter. Also due to how dead the competition is? I would love some of those franchises show up in some form. Honestly, thank you for this new licenses survey I had fun filing it out. This also proves getting a little creativity could allow such possibilities to happen in the near future.
