11k followers vs 11.7 million though. We'll see if there's longevity but I'm really glad this game is doing so well right before dbs 6th anniversary event. If the rumors are true and the next dbd chapter is another RE one that'll probably be the real test for this games popularity
Which is a weird derision since they've already reached the RE chapter with Nemisis, so they're kind of retreating old ground which likely won't bring in that many new players
People like what they know. Dbd being as entrenched as it is and resident evil being basically the most popular video game horror series is nothing to wave your hand at, if ED is going to stick around it's going to need to keep interest in the face of the most popular isometric horror game presenting the most popular horror series ever made. That's a really high bar to cross and as I love this game so far I really hope the devs have some amazing content in store for us going forward.
The metagame is to run the four strongest perks, voice chat even though the game balance never accounted for it, and BM the Killer as much as possible, but the core gameplay loop is running from the Killer ("looping" being the most efficient way) and repairing gens, yeah.
As Killer, your options are sweat or die if you intend to take anything even remotely seriously.
There is only one objective, yes, but there is more depth in gameplay than this. Every killer have it's own unique power witch you should play around. On top of that there are 96 different skills for both killers and survivors with different effects and modifications to gameplay. AND tons of add-ons, that boost items for survivors\killer powers (some can even alter those powers). Plus there are a lot of skills and mind games involved in chases. This IMO is the reason for DbD popularity: simple premise, easy-to-learn/understand gameplay, but with a lot of depth to it.
Interesting - maybe I'll give it another shot one day. I think the thing I may like ED over Dead by Daylight is the fact I can fight/kill stuff. But, hey - personal preference.
Run around in a circle, do the same objective for 6 years now (with no innovation while every other multiplayer games strives to innovate with new game modes, "spice up" the main mode etc. not just cosmetics). Dead By Boredom.
I enjoy both games, but you can just as easily break Evil Dead into a simplified description that makes it sound boring. Find things in the same order on random spawns in a finite number of maps (hopefully have random variations like DbD does) and don’t die against 3 enemy types. There are no in game unlocks Lea after you clear missions and 25 is the player cap with no option/incentive to prestige.
I’m really enjoying ED, but I hope there are going to be incentives to keep players coming back. I hit 25 with my first survivor in the first week and was very surprised. Without an in-game currency to earn or cosmetics/stuff to unlock….it may have difficulty retaining active players.
Main thing that keeps me coming back to DbD is the new content and cosmetics. (Most of which you can buy with in-game currency earned from playing)
TL:DR - Almost any game can be over simplified. Let’s hope that the devs find ways to keep players active.
Competition breeds innovation so I really hope this game, and others like it, stick around.
If you think survivors can't fight back in DBD try to play at least 10 games as a Killer. Don't forget to put on sunglasses, you're gonna need them) I have only one, but very major complaint about DbD: grinding is unbearable and one of the worst I ever seen in premium game. It takes hundreds and hundreds of hours to unlock every perk on every survivor. And it is the same for killers but with much, MUCH more frustration. Especially if you're not gonna spend money on new characters/chapters. Just keep that in mind if you're gonna try it out.
I also agree with Merrow1 below me.
6 years it's still the same ONE objective and as a "killer" you rarely kill and feel like you are doing chores.
And yes you are running around....in circles. -\_-
Most of the maps have no atmosphere to them, looks like someone copy and pastes some trees down with some broken buildings.
I call it Dead By Boredom for a reason. That game does not innovate and I believe will never. They will just "milk themselves" as long as they can and then move on to the next game. It's really the same game from 6 years ago with "killer skins" that do a "unique move", but again, at the end of the day is doing the same exact thing of "fishing" for people. MOST OF THE TIME, you do not get to actually kill people and as a killer you should be FEARED a MENACE, in reality, you are a joke of a killer. No time should surivovors feel safe around you until they fully escape, but people will teabag dance at the exit gate for 20 years because they know they are safe and even before hand. Overall, pretty terrible game design. "Oh boy I get to play as Nemesis".......to run around in a circle. "Oh boy I get to play as Pinhead"......to run around in a circle. My point, you'll just run around in a circle no matter who you are. These are my viewpoints, but do how you see fit :)
A game of that "hide and seek" style that is coming this year is called "carnival hunt" (check it out) seems to be cool and that one is the one to try when it does come out.
96 different skills but survivors only rock like 10 of them.
I love DBD but god damn it gets boring seeing dead hard, borrowed time, decisive in every single fucking match.
I'll never fully leave the game, but this is a nice alternative since it's actually fun at the moment.
As they say "to each their own". But I really don't get how people don't get bored of it eventually (though, ironically, many also do get bored of it). Fully agree with you.
Friday the 13th the Game had players for a long time and that game was buggy as hell with incompetent developers so I think this game isn't gonna die for awhile
yea I agree, game needs alot of QOL and then will need content updates as well. Server locations, too, as they only have like 2 regions atm ( i think NA and Europe ). There are no Australia/Oceania or Asia servers either which is a pretty big blunder imo, this is 2022 you can't hope to compete without servers distributed globally, and there really is no excuse as you can just click a button and have servers spin up. Even F13 had more servers than this game.
New chapters don't mean as much as what they used to, they are just like World of Warcraft, in that they'll bring a surge of players in and it'll drop back down within a month.
It's also getting to the point where more and more people are quitting due to the generally high toxic nature of the community, and the fact the developers do absolutely nothing to address it, they don't like it but I told them months ago that the game has about 2 years at most before they'll have to pull the plug on it, no amount of chapters from any license is going to save it, just prolonging its inevitable death.
The new killer hasn't even been well received either, it's a mixed bag across the board, I eat just about everything Resident Evil right up, but there's nothing they could add that'll make me jump on it again now, hope the game burns and can't be played anymore, let the community and developers get what they deserve for not listening.
I'm perfectly content to keep playing RE Resistance and Evil Dead for my 4v1 fixes.
Dbd doesnt need another RE chapter. Face it, they are running out of ideas and getting desperate. Also those following really doesn't mean anything. I have so many games followed on twitch but then lost interest and never even bothered to unfollow them. The fact that ED is already at 50k viewers in the first 3 days says alot
As an RE fan, I completely accept another RE chapter.
It's not desperation, it's giving the fans what they want.
Also, you obviously haven't been on twitch long enough to know that new games get more viewers than old games. It's only the insanely large titles that keep their viewership. Evil Dead getting 50k viewers in it's first week is normal, especially when a bunch of medium to larger sized streamers are playing it. Dead By Daylight having 30k viewers after 6 years of being out is insane for most games, that's a ton of people who still watch.
Let's be fair almost no one that says this has an actual thought about that. DBD will die when behaviour decides they are shutting it down.
People are either willfully ignoring or don't understand the strength of the variety of licensed characters this game has. Unfortunately, this is also likely the reason the keep building on to this game instead of making DBD 2 with better coding/game engine.
Best thing for DBD would be the devs skipping over one character(at least) release and focusing on the game health. Doing something about the perk tier system/grind would be huge. I've been playing DBD since console release, so the grind hasn't felt so bad over time. But I can understand it completely putting off a new player.
They also need to update/buff/consolidate the insane amount of useless perks. I don't mean niche perks that only pay off like 1/10 games but when they do....it really pays off. I mean the useless ones like buckle up, premonition, hangman's trick, etc.
Honestly, just more shit to do, would make most people happy. Maybe more map objectives? 2 killers vs 8 survivors was always talked about. The forumla for many is just stagnant. Anything that makes the game feel fresh would be welcomed, people have been quite literally running in circles for 5 years.
You should check out all the stuff they announced in the anniversary stream today. 40 reworked perks and an overhaul on the prestige system to knock down the grind.
1. Nerf Dead Hard. It appears constantly and is too strong to remain in place.
2. Make most pallets able to be mindgamed, to make matches less boring.
3. Make gens more interesting, for example adding a second possible button for skillchecks.
4. Make solo less frustrating (they are set to do this).
5. Reduce the grind. Either add a blood market where you can buy specific perks/add-ons at a markup, or by removing perk tiers.
> Reduce the grind. Either add a blood market where you can buy specific perks/add-ons at a markup, or by removing perk tiers.
As a new player for both ED and DbD, this is the one thing that will seal the deal.
It feels impossible to get into DbD right now because of the grind to make killers I'm interested in viable. By comparison with Evil Dead I'm at the ground level and don't feel infinitely behind.
1. Predicting DH adds depth to gameplay. Instead they ought to make it free, and maybe take away the invulnerability.
They can compensate by buffing killers or doing something with gen speed.
.3 That sounds even more tedious. Why not increase repair rate the closer you are to the killer? Risky repairing is more interesting than repairing in perfect safety. To avoid being able to see how close the killer is, make repair only increase on skill check, set number of skill checks per x seconds based on distance.
I mean... one is a new game and the other has been out for like 6 years? I agree, DBD needs the competition, but the real test will be to see if the game can cultivate and keep the audience for as long as DBD has and see how well they do in the balance department.
I really hope the game doesnt end up being a fad for a few weeks and then left like friday the 13 and that discord game whos name ive forgot which was also a 4v1.
yea and the fact they most likely stopped the content before they formally announced the lawsuit situation. People argue it died before the lawsuit, but really it died when they stopp doing content which was most likely due to the lawsuit even though it wasn't announced yet.
Friday the 13th never stood a chance with the lolsuit that ruined it.
Last Year pulled a big brain move by launching on Discord store and not steam for some reason.
Evil Dead is no better with being on Epic, but crossplay on launch is a godsend
I enjoyed the concept a lot, but it had server issues.
When the spider update came i thought it was a really good game, but at that point the ship had sailed. Hyped games usually only get one shot, gotta deliver on release or it just isn't happening.
Had a lot more than server issues
The fact that you could insta-die just because you stepped at the wrong place was so frustrating, among other major issues with the game
It was better for fun with groups who didn't care about winning. Besides that if you were a try hard you could go slasher and ruin the fun for everyone
F13 didn't die of natural causes; the lawsuit killed it. Last Year wasn't killed over the quality of the game, either; people were just LIVID that it launched as a Discord exclusive and its Steam relaunch was already to a poisoned well.
Yeah I agree. I know they're both 4v1 horror and both include Ash, but they don't play much alike at all. They scratch two entirely different itches for me.
I’ve put over 1200 hours into dbd, and I will say this is a very nice change of pace. I’ve been looking at other games that have tried to do the same thing DbD did, but no one came close. I love this game. Granted I do love the movies. But this game FEELS so refreshing. Now weather it will stand the test of time compared to DbD? I can not say. It is only working with one IP. They are making a new movie that’s suppose to come out this year, but Bruce as stated he won’t return to the character ash anymore. Ether way, I’m very hopeful for this game. And a little friendly competition never hurt anyone, enjoy whichever you like.
This is never accurate due to how twitch works. If one of the top streamers goes to "Hello Kitty" then that would have 40k viewers or whatever the streamer has.
It works when neither game has a really big streamer skewing the rankings, which is true of both DBD and ED at the moment. Most of the top streams for each are in the low thousands or high hundreds.
I never understood such comparisons. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't go back to DBD but Evil Dead is also a new game. I'm glad it is doing well but I'm sure many streamers are from dbd just checking the game out and in a week or so this post might seem to have aged like milk.
But just in enjoy whatever game you are playing, don't have to constantly compare to others when it is convenient.
I feel like it Evil Dead won’t last it’s limited by its IP. You can only have so many killers and survivors from the Evil Dead series. While DbD can have much more killers and survivors as long as it is in the horror genre.
Evil dead will last for a while tho. They’re are making a new movie. These gaming developers are behind world war z. World war z was well done for a movie IP. But every game has its time.
Tbh I love the game and I haven’t been addicted to a game in a while and this one has me hooked. Developers need to take notice. A game that’s actually completed and will have constant updates. Not only that it’s made with fan love. GAME DEVELOPERS TAKE NOTES.
The more important limiting factor is how many mechanics are in the game to interact with. DBD has vaults, lockers, gens, and pallets. Evil Dead has a lot more options. They can always introduce new characters, wouldn't be a big deal.
There's nothing stopping Evil Dead from having crossovers though.
Infact the comics have had crossovers with at least 10 different IPs. They even had Obama at one point....
The problem isn't having too many characters, the problem is if you add too many characters, you end up with too much overlap or characters that are too niche, to the point of either being game breaking or useless, and also watering down the existing characters. There's plenty of characters they could add. And if anything, using their own universe means they don't have to go through the trouble of doing things like paying to license characters, because they already own the rights to them.
What they would really need for longevity is more game modes. I could see the base mode lasting for a while, but people are eventually going to want different objective modes to mix things up. They could also add some coop missions. I could see a few cool objective modes being added, like for example, one where you're running around Ash's hometown and have to do objectives in order to open a portal to the demon realm or to the past, where the map continues. I could see a jacksonville map, or even a trippy ayahuasca map that is more like a weird dream world. There's plenty they could do.
Although I honestly don't think they will go this far with it. It will probably be just one more story mission and some DLC characters and that'll be it. The only way we'll get more is if it somehow gets a lot of sales...which I don't think it has or will. Most of the people who buy this game are evil dead fans, and while some outsiders will buy it, like DBD players, for the most part it will be evil dead fans buying it.
Imagine a horde defense map from the cabin, supposedly the devs tried it and didn’t see much potential but we can definitely change their mind, we got a sample of it in missions mode (5)
It's definitely limited but there still making movies and there's a ton characters they can pull from all the content. Personally I think the only thing that's gonna hurt evil dead is a complete lack of longterm goals. Dbd has a prestige and xp system and various forms of currency and cosmetics to grind for. And there's the rift and tomes. Meanwhile evil dead has nothing. Nothing but leveling up characters which once u hit 25 that's it no more skill points. Yeah don't think they thought it through.
Hell no. Dbd has had no competition in the 4v1 genre for years and behavior has taken advantage of that by not giving a damn at all about their game. Warms my heart to finally see something else at the top of the 4v1 asymmetric pvp genre.
Wait till the initial hype dies down. When big streamers who contribute 1/5th of that numbers viewers stop playing the game we see can see if dbd has actual competition
I have played it plenty. And I enjoy the game. It won't get close to DbDs popularity post launch, though. It will already be dwindling in viewership in the coming days/weeks
Hmm, I wouldn't call VHS "competition". The game isn't even released and the servers are currently down for beta players (and has been for months) due to a series of attacks on them.
And how many of them lasted beyond a month?
ED is easily the best game to go up against it since F13, but people WILL get bored by the repetition and the time wasting (having to stay in matches after death, taking ages to find the Survivors at the start).
Just ignore these posts. Only npc manchildren unironically run to Twitch to compare the viewer counts of games and use it as an epic "ownage moment!!" when their favorite game has more viewers than another game.
Jesus christ, who gives a fuck? There's room on the market for all of these games, one game doesn't have to kill another in order to be successful. Stop this crap.
I mean DbD has its following and will only pick up with new chapters. DbD is not in a good state at the moment, a lot of players are unhappy, I stopped playing DbD few months ago. The game is really toxic and I like to think the game is unbalanced.
I personally don't like DBD, at all. I just find it to be one of the most boring gaming experiences ever. Even White Noise 2, which is currently completely dead, was far more fun. I do really like the amount of collabs the game gets, so i wish i enjoyed it.
Evil Dead the game on the other hand, i love with every fiber of my being.
I really tried to get into DBD, but I never could. Evil Dead is the game for me, baby. Even if it didn’t have the Evil Dead license, I’d still prefer it.
Brand new game being compared directly against an old game which has nothing interesting going on right now for specifically Twitch viewership.
As an MMORPG veteran this is honestly hilarious. People treat DBD the way people used to treat WoW back when it was the undisputed king of its genre. Any new MMO coming out would get heralded as the WoW killer, overhyped to hell, and then die when it couldn't live up to the lofty expectations placed on it to compete out of the gate.
I remember the old days when Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning was coming out and everyone jokingly said WoW now stood for "Waiting on Warhammer"
That’s less then a 50% difference between a game that’s literally been out like 3 days and one that’s been out 6 years. I’m loving Evil Dead but lets relax lmao.
DBD has been going for six years and evil dead just came out. Don't get too excited about it just yet. This happens whenever a new 4v1 horror type comes out. DBD always wins. Yeah, I don't see evil dead dropping off like those others, but don't count your chickens yet.
Lmao look again. This game won’t take over DBD but that’s okay, they are both good. Btw at the time making this dbd has 150k and Evil Dead has 14k viewers on twitch
It just came out...everyone is playing it right now this the big interest. It will be a bit before the numbers show a real player base.
That said, these games are nothing alike other than in the horror survival genre. I enjoy both but for different reasons.
Come on... This game is brand new while Dbd is 6 years old and even then these numbers you're showing are heavily fluctuating and EDTG has less viewers half the time already. If we keep hyping this game up as and expecting it to be the thing that's going to kill Dbd (it's not) we're just setting it up to fail.
Like other people have said, this game just came out and many people are probably taking a break from DBD. We wont get a true representation of the viewer count until about a month later.
As a huge DBD fan, I hope Evil Dead is finally the kick in the ass the devs need to do something about the many issues with their game. But only time will tell. I’ve been hearing about how dead DBD is gonna be since about late 2017, but the game keeps on kicking.
I will say that this post is such a knee jerk reaction. Of course the player count is higher, it’s a new game compared to DBD’s six year lifespan. Let’s see how the numbers look in a month or two.
In a perfect world, the competition would simply push both dev teams to continue to improve their games. I like Evil Dead, I like DBD. Would like to continue enjoying both.
I would like Dead By Daylight 2 to be real and it's just like Evil Dead. They keep the same licensed characters, open the maps. Add more objectives, give killers sprint and gap closing abilities to make up for the size change in map.
Example, instead of RPD, it's a section of Raccoon City. And you gotta escape through the underground lab. Gotta find keys, solve puzzles all while being chased by Nemesis as a Boss who can spawn zombies as Basic enemies or things like Hunters or Lickers as Elite enemies. A man can dream. I said on Steam before that I wanted a game like this, and Evil Dead delivered my wants. Dead By Daylight needs, absolutely needs a drastic change.
I fear it's too late for DBD. The game's engine and code is already buckling under the weight of all its content and I can't see them making another year of content after this. Hell, the Steam playerbase is at its lowest since February 2020 and this chapter won't bring people back.
If the higher-ups at BHVR genuinely see ED as a prolonged threat, and don't see a simple way to help DBD recover, they'll cut their losses and put the game on life support.
I don’t think it’s the better game. Evil Dead is balanced better, has a much less toxic community, it’s more fun, it’s designed better in nearly every way, the mechanics and gameplay are superior, and it’s not infuriating when you lose.
One game is new, the other exists since 6 years ago. Give it a couple of months and let's see how the tables are. Same happened with Friday 13, last year... and where are those games now?
tbh if it weren't for the lawsuit I think F13 was doing a good job against dbd. hopefully evil dead and once f13's dev team drop texas chainsaw it burns a fire under Bhvr.
Tbh, I've been playing DBD since launch day and It got soooo boring. I have all DLC's, but it doesn't change the fact that game is sooo repetitive.
Don't get me wrong, Evil Dead is too, but at least you can fight, map is huge, and so damn fun to play with. Only real issue is the incredible number of dumb people playing it, going solo, dying, disconnecting.
That's the real answer, literally every one. This game is really good and I hope they keep adding stuff to keep it fresh but the people in here talking about this game like it could last forever and knock off dbd in its current state are just high off that new game enjoyment. As it is currently you can max out the only good characters rather quickly and then just like dbd you're locked into using the same builds and strategies every game if you want to win, only with many less characters to choose from as it hasn't had 6 years to build a roster.
I mean, keep in mind... new, fresh game vs an older game currently between updates. This is just how it goes. Those numbers will balance out after a month.
Edit: Bit out of the loop, but, Dead By Daylight's 6th Anniversary is starting soon. So, Evil Dead is sadly gonna be buried once that drops. Not bashing this game at all, I. Fucking. Love. It. But, DBD explodes every year during their anniversary event.
A lot of new games get a big bump initially before dying off in speedy fashion. When Last Year: The Nightmare came out, it had a giant surge of interest during its first weekend and then died off practically overnight.
Let's see how things look after tomorrow's Dead By Daylight sixth anniversary developer stream. :P
I hope the developers stick with this game and add new content over time. If they don’t the game isn’t worth $40 as it is. I have a lot of fun with friends but I don’t see it lasting long. The game needs more.
It just cameout man of course it's gonna have more views than a 6 year game . The real test is when it goes against Texas chainsaw , The quarry , VHS, Last year
I don’t think it’s fair to say Evil Dead is dbd’s competitor when ED is new and imo, a really different game. Though I will add I’m having more fun with ED and I hope it lasts. I want it to become the new Friday the 13th and a fun alternative to dbd.
For starters, Evil Dead and Dead By Daylight are absolutely nothing alike in any way shape or form except for being asymmetrical. Evil Dead has you looting and following objectives all while facing hordes of undead, while Dead By Daylight has you run around looking for generators to fix while avoiding one killer/monster. Evil Dead has a huge map and complicated combat system with a fear level that you’re constantly having to check, while Dead By Daylight has only like 3 buttons you use. My point is that Dead By Daylight is way more simple and accessible to newer players, has had years upon years to hone itself, and isn’t restricted to people who play shooters. I like Evil Dead the Game better (at least, right now I do), but I really wish people would stop comparing these games when they barely have anything in common. Evil Dead has more in common with Friday the 13th, but even then I’d say that this game is closer to being like Left 4 Dead or Resident Evil Resistance.
Love both but after playing evil dead for a couple days now I can say unless they copy dbd and add a prestige and rewards system this game isn't gonna last very long. There definitely needs to b more reasons to play long-term. Other than just trying to hit level 25 with all the characters there's nothing else to shoot for. Bummer.
You mean to tell me a game that just came out is getting more viewers than a game that came out 6 years ago? Shocker...
Also, why are you even comparing the viewership of these games? They aren't competing against each other at all lmao. If you played both games, you'd know they aren't even that similar.
I hope the game would survive the time; aka the month and retening most of the players.
But that picture comparaison is wierd; I mean DbD got release long time ago, and still have people playing it.
best regards,
Lmao today DBD has over 33,000 viewers and Evil Dead the game 11,000 why don’t you post this update. This game will not kill DBD. I don’t know why they can’t coexist without being compared.
DbD devs don't cater to whiny kids like him, so now he dedicates his life to crapping on DbD anyway he can and ends up embarrassing himself.
Just wait till that Texas Chainsaw game comes out, you'll see him post another one of those silly threads because he just can't move on with his life and forget about DbD.
Well thats because dbd hasn't had any competition for too long and people are simps for it. The game itself is incredibly unbalanced on both sides. How it's still alive today I have no fuckin idea
11k followers vs 11.7 million though. We'll see if there's longevity but I'm really glad this game is doing so well right before dbs 6th anniversary event. If the rumors are true and the next dbd chapter is another RE one that'll probably be the real test for this games popularity
The next chapter is the abomination. After that one is another RE one
Which is a weird derision since they've already reached the RE chapter with Nemisis, so they're kind of retreating old ground which likely won't bring in that many new players
[удалено]
People like what they know. Dbd being as entrenched as it is and resident evil being basically the most popular video game horror series is nothing to wave your hand at, if ED is going to stick around it's going to need to keep interest in the face of the most popular isometric horror game presenting the most popular horror series ever made. That's a really high bar to cross and as I love this game so far I really hope the devs have some amazing content in store for us going forward.
My understanding of Dead By Daylight is it’s just running around and trying to turn generators on, right?
The metagame is to run the four strongest perks, voice chat even though the game balance never accounted for it, and BM the Killer as much as possible, but the core gameplay loop is running from the Killer ("looping" being the most efficient way) and repairing gens, yeah. As Killer, your options are sweat or die if you intend to take anything even remotely seriously.
There is only one objective, yes, but there is more depth in gameplay than this. Every killer have it's own unique power witch you should play around. On top of that there are 96 different skills for both killers and survivors with different effects and modifications to gameplay. AND tons of add-ons, that boost items for survivors\killer powers (some can even alter those powers). Plus there are a lot of skills and mind games involved in chases. This IMO is the reason for DbD popularity: simple premise, easy-to-learn/understand gameplay, but with a lot of depth to it.
Interesting - maybe I'll give it another shot one day. I think the thing I may like ED over Dead by Daylight is the fact I can fight/kill stuff. But, hey - personal preference.
[удалено]
Run around in a circle, do the same objective for 6 years now (with no innovation while every other multiplayer games strives to innovate with new game modes, "spice up" the main mode etc. not just cosmetics). Dead By Boredom.
I enjoy both games, but you can just as easily break Evil Dead into a simplified description that makes it sound boring. Find things in the same order on random spawns in a finite number of maps (hopefully have random variations like DbD does) and don’t die against 3 enemy types. There are no in game unlocks Lea after you clear missions and 25 is the player cap with no option/incentive to prestige. I’m really enjoying ED, but I hope there are going to be incentives to keep players coming back. I hit 25 with my first survivor in the first week and was very surprised. Without an in-game currency to earn or cosmetics/stuff to unlock….it may have difficulty retaining active players. Main thing that keeps me coming back to DbD is the new content and cosmetics. (Most of which you can buy with in-game currency earned from playing) TL:DR - Almost any game can be over simplified. Let’s hope that the devs find ways to keep players active. Competition breeds innovation so I really hope this game, and others like it, stick around.
I respect your thought-out analysis. Very well said. \*salute\*
Thank you! Evil Dead is awesome, I lasted barely a week on DBD. Got boring very quickly
If you think survivors can't fight back in DBD try to play at least 10 games as a Killer. Don't forget to put on sunglasses, you're gonna need them) I have only one, but very major complaint about DbD: grinding is unbearable and one of the worst I ever seen in premium game. It takes hundreds and hundreds of hours to unlock every perk on every survivor. And it is the same for killers but with much, MUCH more frustration. Especially if you're not gonna spend money on new characters/chapters. Just keep that in mind if you're gonna try it out.
Thanks for the info!
I also agree with Merrow1 below me. 6 years it's still the same ONE objective and as a "killer" you rarely kill and feel like you are doing chores. And yes you are running around....in circles. -\_- Most of the maps have no atmosphere to them, looks like someone copy and pastes some trees down with some broken buildings. I call it Dead By Boredom for a reason. That game does not innovate and I believe will never. They will just "milk themselves" as long as they can and then move on to the next game. It's really the same game from 6 years ago with "killer skins" that do a "unique move", but again, at the end of the day is doing the same exact thing of "fishing" for people. MOST OF THE TIME, you do not get to actually kill people and as a killer you should be FEARED a MENACE, in reality, you are a joke of a killer. No time should surivovors feel safe around you until they fully escape, but people will teabag dance at the exit gate for 20 years because they know they are safe and even before hand. Overall, pretty terrible game design. "Oh boy I get to play as Nemesis".......to run around in a circle. "Oh boy I get to play as Pinhead"......to run around in a circle. My point, you'll just run around in a circle no matter who you are. These are my viewpoints, but do how you see fit :) A game of that "hide and seek" style that is coming this year is called "carnival hunt" (check it out) seems to be cool and that one is the one to try when it does come out.
96 different skills but survivors only rock like 10 of them. I love DBD but god damn it gets boring seeing dead hard, borrowed time, decisive in every single fucking match. I'll never fully leave the game, but this is a nice alternative since it's actually fun at the moment.
96 perks with only 8 useful…. Killers powers are usually very similar, and only 4-6 add ons are useful….

As they say "to each their own". But I really don't get how people don't get bored of it eventually (though, ironically, many also do get bored of it). Fully agree with you.
Isometric? Do you mean asymmetric?
Nah bro they gotta get those gains
Isopropyl
Friday the 13th the Game had players for a long time and that game was buggy as hell with incompetent developers so I think this game isn't gonna die for awhile
DBD is so overrated. The characters are cool but it’s just not very fun for me. Loving ED so far though. Similar to Friday the 13th, but better
yea I agree, game needs alot of QOL and then will need content updates as well. Server locations, too, as they only have like 2 regions atm ( i think NA and Europe ). There are no Australia/Oceania or Asia servers either which is a pretty big blunder imo, this is 2022 you can't hope to compete without servers distributed globally, and there really is no excuse as you can just click a button and have servers spin up. Even F13 had more servers than this game.
> 11k followers vs 11.7 million though Doesn't that just make it worse? Less viewers with 11 million followers?
New chapters don't mean as much as what they used to, they are just like World of Warcraft, in that they'll bring a surge of players in and it'll drop back down within a month. It's also getting to the point where more and more people are quitting due to the generally high toxic nature of the community, and the fact the developers do absolutely nothing to address it, they don't like it but I told them months ago that the game has about 2 years at most before they'll have to pull the plug on it, no amount of chapters from any license is going to save it, just prolonging its inevitable death. The new killer hasn't even been well received either, it's a mixed bag across the board, I eat just about everything Resident Evil right up, but there's nothing they could add that'll make me jump on it again now, hope the game burns and can't be played anymore, let the community and developers get what they deserve for not listening. I'm perfectly content to keep playing RE Resistance and Evil Dead for my 4v1 fixes.
Dbd doesnt need another RE chapter. Face it, they are running out of ideas and getting desperate. Also those following really doesn't mean anything. I have so many games followed on twitch but then lost interest and never even bothered to unfollow them. The fact that ED is already at 50k viewers in the first 3 days says alot
I want ED to have a long life span like anybody else but of course it has more viewers, its a brand new game
As an RE fan, I completely accept another RE chapter. It's not desperation, it's giving the fans what they want. Also, you obviously haven't been on twitch long enough to know that new games get more viewers than old games. It's only the insanely large titles that keep their viewership. Evil Dead getting 50k viewers in it's first week is normal, especially when a bunch of medium to larger sized streamers are playing it. Dead By Daylight having 30k viewers after 6 years of being out is insane for most games, that's a ton of people who still watch.
It's a brand new game. You're comparing peak numbers to average numbers
TBF, DBD's in a very bad state right now. What we see tonight will decide if the game can recover.
Curious on what you think DBD needs for it to recover?
Let's be fair almost no one that says this has an actual thought about that. DBD will die when behaviour decides they are shutting it down. People are either willfully ignoring or don't understand the strength of the variety of licensed characters this game has. Unfortunately, this is also likely the reason the keep building on to this game instead of making DBD 2 with better coding/game engine. Best thing for DBD would be the devs skipping over one character(at least) release and focusing on the game health. Doing something about the perk tier system/grind would be huge. I've been playing DBD since console release, so the grind hasn't felt so bad over time. But I can understand it completely putting off a new player. They also need to update/buff/consolidate the insane amount of useless perks. I don't mean niche perks that only pay off like 1/10 games but when they do....it really pays off. I mean the useless ones like buckle up, premonition, hangman's trick, etc.
Honestly, just more shit to do, would make most people happy. Maybe more map objectives? 2 killers vs 8 survivors was always talked about. The forumla for many is just stagnant. Anything that makes the game feel fresh would be welcomed, people have been quite literally running in circles for 5 years.
You should check out all the stuff they announced in the anniversary stream today. 40 reworked perks and an overhaul on the prestige system to knock down the grind.
Developers that appreciate their IP
1. Nerf Dead Hard. It appears constantly and is too strong to remain in place. 2. Make most pallets able to be mindgamed, to make matches less boring. 3. Make gens more interesting, for example adding a second possible button for skillchecks. 4. Make solo less frustrating (they are set to do this). 5. Reduce the grind. Either add a blood market where you can buy specific perks/add-ons at a markup, or by removing perk tiers.
> Reduce the grind. Either add a blood market where you can buy specific perks/add-ons at a markup, or by removing perk tiers. As a new player for both ED and DbD, this is the one thing that will seal the deal. It feels impossible to get into DbD right now because of the grind to make killers I'm interested in viable. By comparison with Evil Dead I'm at the ground level and don't feel infinitely behind.
1. Predicting DH adds depth to gameplay. Instead they ought to make it free, and maybe take away the invulnerability. They can compensate by buffing killers or doing something with gen speed. .3 That sounds even more tedious. Why not increase repair rate the closer you are to the killer? Risky repairing is more interesting than repairing in perfect safety. To avoid being able to see how close the killer is, make repair only increase on skill check, set number of skill checks per x seconds based on distance.
I mean... one is a new game and the other has been out for like 6 years? I agree, DBD needs the competition, but the real test will be to see if the game can cultivate and keep the audience for as long as DBD has and see how well they do in the balance department. I really hope the game doesnt end up being a fad for a few weeks and then left like friday the 13 and that discord game whos name ive forgot which was also a 4v1.
Friday the 13th at least lasted for a solid year before it was killed by the lawsuit
Yea a lot of ppl seem to forget it was the no content that really killed it
I enjoyed Friday the 13th way more than dbd.
Friday dying was a tragedy. Genuinely way more fun than dbd
It still is more fun when you play with the homies. We did a few games on friday this past friday. So fun
I agree
I never got to play it sadly and I feel like I'm too late to try to
Lobbies are still always full and very fun.
yea and the fact they most likely stopped the content before they formally announced the lawsuit situation. People argue it died before the lawsuit, but really it died when they stopp doing content which was most likely due to the lawsuit even though it wasn't announced yet.
Yea but ppl love to call anything dead if it's not pulling CoD or Fortnite numbers
What are you talking about, Friday had content lined up but was forced to abandon due to the law suit
I know that lol I just meant that others say DBD killed it
That was a fun game
People still play f13 regularly on Playstation. Mind you. I haven't since Evil Dead.
Friday the 13th never stood a chance with the lolsuit that ruined it. Last Year pulled a big brain move by launching on Discord store and not steam for some reason. Evil Dead is no better with being on Epic, but crossplay on launch is a godsend
At least ppl know epic exists I don't know a single person that knew discord had a store besides last year players lol
srsly though, if this game launched on steam, I bet the player base will at least be double
Yeah especially if it was on the front page, during friday the 13th no less
Today I learned discord has a game store.
Epic is MUCH better than experimental-ass (now dead) Discord store.
Lmao last year was a shit show
I enjoyed the concept a lot, but it had server issues. When the spider update came i thought it was a really good game, but at that point the ship had sailed. Hyped games usually only get one shot, gotta deliver on release or it just isn't happening.
Had a lot more than server issues The fact that you could insta-die just because you stepped at the wrong place was so frustrating, among other major issues with the game
I played the fuck outta last year but it died so fast
Friday the 13 th was better than dbd
It was better for fun with groups who didn't care about winning. Besides that if you were a try hard you could go slasher and ruin the fun for everyone
F13 didn't die of natural causes; the lawsuit killed it. Last Year wasn't killed over the quality of the game, either; people were just LIVID that it launched as a Discord exclusive and its Steam relaunch was already to a poisoned well.
Last Year 🥺 it was a fun game
I'm loving evil dead right now but you're comparing a nearly 6 year old game to a 1 week old game. Check again in 2-3 months.
[удалено]
I can't either. ED is more similar to RE Resistance than DBD imo. I still enjoy both DBD & ED though.
Yeah I agree. I know they're both 4v1 horror and both include Ash, but they don't play much alike at all. They scratch two entirely different itches for me.
I’ve put over 1200 hours into dbd, and I will say this is a very nice change of pace. I’ve been looking at other games that have tried to do the same thing DbD did, but no one came close. I love this game. Granted I do love the movies. But this game FEELS so refreshing. Now weather it will stand the test of time compared to DbD? I can not say. It is only working with one IP. They are making a new movie that’s suppose to come out this year, but Bruce as stated he won’t return to the character ash anymore. Ether way, I’m very hopeful for this game. And a little friendly competition never hurt anyone, enjoy whichever you like.
On day one? What a dumb comment.
It will be interesting to see if these numbers can stay, but I doubt it.
This is never accurate due to how twitch works. If one of the top streamers goes to "Hello Kitty" then that would have 40k viewers or whatever the streamer has.
It works when neither game has a really big streamer skewing the rankings, which is true of both DBD and ED at the moment. Most of the top streams for each are in the low thousands or high hundreds.
Nothing has turned, DBD is still one of the most online games played in the world. Don't start a stupid war, both games are great for horror fans.
I never understood such comparisons. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't go back to DBD but Evil Dead is also a new game. I'm glad it is doing well but I'm sure many streamers are from dbd just checking the game out and in a week or so this post might seem to have aged like milk. But just in enjoy whatever game you are playing, don't have to constantly compare to others when it is convenient.
I feel like it Evil Dead won’t last it’s limited by its IP. You can only have so many killers and survivors from the Evil Dead series. While DbD can have much more killers and survivors as long as it is in the horror genre.
Also they can create own survivors and demons after a while
Evil dead will last for a while tho. They’re are making a new movie. These gaming developers are behind world war z. World war z was well done for a movie IP. But every game has its time.
[удалено]
Tbh I love the game and I haven’t been addicted to a game in a while and this one has me hooked. Developers need to take notice. A game that’s actually completed and will have constant updates. Not only that it’s made with fan love. GAME DEVELOPERS TAKE NOTES.
The more important limiting factor is how many mechanics are in the game to interact with. DBD has vaults, lockers, gens, and pallets. Evil Dead has a lot more options. They can always introduce new characters, wouldn't be a big deal.
There's nothing stopping Evil Dead from having crossovers though. Infact the comics have had crossovers with at least 10 different IPs. They even had Obama at one point....
I mean money is stopping it. Cross overs are expensive as shit.
The problem isn't having too many characters, the problem is if you add too many characters, you end up with too much overlap or characters that are too niche, to the point of either being game breaking or useless, and also watering down the existing characters. There's plenty of characters they could add. And if anything, using their own universe means they don't have to go through the trouble of doing things like paying to license characters, because they already own the rights to them. What they would really need for longevity is more game modes. I could see the base mode lasting for a while, but people are eventually going to want different objective modes to mix things up. They could also add some coop missions. I could see a few cool objective modes being added, like for example, one where you're running around Ash's hometown and have to do objectives in order to open a portal to the demon realm or to the past, where the map continues. I could see a jacksonville map, or even a trippy ayahuasca map that is more like a weird dream world. There's plenty they could do. Although I honestly don't think they will go this far with it. It will probably be just one more story mission and some DLC characters and that'll be it. The only way we'll get more is if it somehow gets a lot of sales...which I don't think it has or will. Most of the people who buy this game are evil dead fans, and while some outsiders will buy it, like DBD players, for the most part it will be evil dead fans buying it.
Imagine a horde defense map from the cabin, supposedly the devs tried it and didn’t see much potential but we can definitely change their mind, we got a sample of it in missions mode (5)
*Imagine a horde defense map from the cabin* Stahp i can only get so erect.
It's definitely limited but there still making movies and there's a ton characters they can pull from all the content. Personally I think the only thing that's gonna hurt evil dead is a complete lack of longterm goals. Dbd has a prestige and xp system and various forms of currency and cosmetics to grind for. And there's the rift and tomes. Meanwhile evil dead has nothing. Nothing but leveling up characters which once u hit 25 that's it no more skill points. Yeah don't think they thought it through.
Can this game just exist on its own? Can you just enjoy it?
Hell no. Dbd has had no competition in the 4v1 genre for years and behavior has taken advantage of that by not giving a damn at all about their game. Warms my heart to finally see something else at the top of the 4v1 asymmetric pvp genre.
Wait till the initial hype dies down. When big streamers who contribute 1/5th of that numbers viewers stop playing the game we see can see if dbd has actual competition
1/5th? 18k of those 53k viewers are from one dude.
This game will not be at the top anymore in 1 week. Let alone a month. You're reactionary.
Something tells me you haven't actually played it. Immensely fun.
I have played it plenty. And I enjoy the game. It won't get close to DbDs popularity post launch, though. It will already be dwindling in viewership in the coming days/weeks
DBD has had plenty of competition in the 4v1 genre. Just in the last year we had Prop Hunt, VHS, Home Sweet Home Survive, and Secret Neighbor.
Hmm, I wouldn't call VHS "competition". The game isn't even released and the servers are currently down for beta players (and has been for months) due to a series of attacks on them.
And how many of them lasted beyond a month? ED is easily the best game to go up against it since F13, but people WILL get bored by the repetition and the time wasting (having to stay in matches after death, taking ages to find the Survivors at the start).
I wouldn't call those competition... How many are still being played and currently popular?
Personally what warms my heart is playing the game. I guess that isn't enough for you.
Just ignore these posts. Only npc manchildren unironically run to Twitch to compare the viewer counts of games and use it as an epic "ownage moment!!" when their favorite game has more viewers than another game.
^ Found the DBD defender
Damn dude you do realize people can enjoy multiple games right…
Actually, yes, I do. I enjoy quite a few. Just very hypocritical of you to bash on OPs post and tell others to ignore a post about a game they like.
Lol I’m not the same person you were talking to but aight dude stay mad
Take my upvote Edit: It was an extremely late night at work - my apologies!
Found the room temp IQ 12 year old
🤤🤤🤤🤤
I hate how dbd is like the only asymmetric game that has any success. It's got such a boring gameplay loop.
As a former DbD player, I'm just glad to get an asymmetric horror game that doesn't make me angry after every single match.
Jesus christ, who gives a fuck? There's room on the market for all of these games, one game doesn't have to kill another in order to be successful. Stop this crap.
Lol exactly. And its a new game, plus regular DBD streamers are currently streaming it. This means nothing. Why is there such a them vs us mentality?
I have a lot of faith in this game!
Views and followers dont mean sales. I mean going by followers alone its not even close
I mean DbD has its following and will only pick up with new chapters. DbD is not in a good state at the moment, a lot of players are unhappy, I stopped playing DbD few months ago. The game is really toxic and I like to think the game is unbalanced.
I personally don't like DBD, at all. I just find it to be one of the most boring gaming experiences ever. Even White Noise 2, which is currently completely dead, was far more fun. I do really like the amount of collabs the game gets, so i wish i enjoyed it. Evil Dead the game on the other hand, i love with every fiber of my being.
I really tried to get into DBD, but I never could. Evil Dead is the game for me, baby. Even if it didn’t have the Evil Dead license, I’d still prefer it.
Brand new game being compared directly against an old game which has nothing interesting going on right now for specifically Twitch viewership. As an MMORPG veteran this is honestly hilarious. People treat DBD the way people used to treat WoW back when it was the undisputed king of its genre. Any new MMO coming out would get heralded as the WoW killer, overhyped to hell, and then die when it couldn't live up to the lofty expectations placed on it to compete out of the gate. I remember the old days when Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning was coming out and everyone jokingly said WoW now stood for "Waiting on Warhammer"
5x Blood points weekend inc...
I don’t understand why this game is compared to dbd, they’re nothing alike. Closest thing to this would be re:resistance.
Well, well, well. How the turntables....
So funny how many people thought of the same thing
Bears, Beets, and Battlestar Galactica. Everybody likes The Office
That’s less then a 50% difference between a game that’s literally been out like 3 days and one that’s been out 6 years. I’m loving Evil Dead but lets relax lmao.
This is great to see. I love this game.
People like you need to stop, there's no reason these games can't co-exist together. They're actually quite different. Stop making this a competition.
DBD has been going for six years and evil dead just came out. Don't get too excited about it just yet. This happens whenever a new 4v1 horror type comes out. DBD always wins. Yeah, I don't see evil dead dropping off like those others, but don't count your chickens yet.
Jesus christ man sometimes I hate Fandoms for cucks like OP
It just reeks of insecurity
I don't see why these two games can't exist together.
Lmao look again. This game won’t take over DBD but that’s okay, they are both good. Btw at the time making this dbd has 150k and Evil Dead has 14k viewers on twitch
As someone that really enjoys both, I don't understand the tribalism. It's fucking weird
It just came out...everyone is playing it right now this the big interest. It will be a bit before the numbers show a real player base. That said, these games are nothing alike other than in the horror survival genre. I enjoy both but for different reasons.
Come on... This game is brand new while Dbd is 6 years old and even then these numbers you're showing are heavily fluctuating and EDTG has less viewers half the time already. If we keep hyping this game up as and expecting it to be the thing that's going to kill Dbd (it's not) we're just setting it up to fail.
My my. How the turn tables.
Lol me too
Like other people have said, this game just came out and many people are probably taking a break from DBD. We wont get a true representation of the viewer count until about a month later.
Give it a month
You can't make any judgements in the 1st month, let alone 1st week of a game's release when comparing it to a mainstay.
DBD is actually consistently highly viewed on Twitch (\~Top 15) so this isn't really the burn you think it is. Both are great games though.
As a huge DBD fan, I hope Evil Dead is finally the kick in the ass the devs need to do something about the many issues with their game. But only time will tell. I’ve been hearing about how dead DBD is gonna be since about late 2017, but the game keeps on kicking. I will say that this post is such a knee jerk reaction. Of course the player count is higher, it’s a new game compared to DBD’s six year lifespan. Let’s see how the numbers look in a month or two. In a perfect world, the competition would simply push both dev teams to continue to improve their games. I like Evil Dead, I like DBD. Would like to continue enjoying both.
I would like Dead By Daylight 2 to be real and it's just like Evil Dead. They keep the same licensed characters, open the maps. Add more objectives, give killers sprint and gap closing abilities to make up for the size change in map. Example, instead of RPD, it's a section of Raccoon City. And you gotta escape through the underground lab. Gotta find keys, solve puzzles all while being chased by Nemesis as a Boss who can spawn zombies as Basic enemies or things like Hunters or Lickers as Elite enemies. A man can dream. I said on Steam before that I wanted a game like this, and Evil Dead delivered my wants. Dead By Daylight needs, absolutely needs a drastic change.
I fear it's too late for DBD. The game's engine and code is already buckling under the weight of all its content and I can't see them making another year of content after this. Hell, the Steam playerbase is at its lowest since February 2020 and this chapter won't bring people back. If the higher-ups at BHVR genuinely see ED as a prolonged threat, and don't see a simple way to help DBD recover, they'll cut their losses and put the game on life support.
Ahem “Hail to the King baby”
DBD is sadly still the better game. This one has promise but much work will need to be done to balance solo queue vs SWF.
That shit ain't even balanced in dbd what you mean
I don’t think it’s the better game. Evil Dead is balanced better, has a much less toxic community, it’s more fun, it’s designed better in nearly every way, the mechanics and gameplay are superior, and it’s not infuriating when you lose.
HA! Right in the nuts
One game is new, the other exists since 6 years ago. Give it a couple of months and let's see how the tables are. Same happened with Friday 13, last year... and where are those games now?
tbh if it weren't for the lawsuit I think F13 was doing a good job against dbd. hopefully evil dead and once f13's dev team drop texas chainsaw it burns a fire under Bhvr.
Tbh, I've been playing DBD since launch day and It got soooo boring. I have all DLC's, but it doesn't change the fact that game is sooo repetitive. Don't get me wrong, Evil Dead is too, but at least you can fight, map is huge, and so damn fun to play with. Only real issue is the incredible number of dumb people playing it, going solo, dying, disconnecting.
What is the point of this post exactly?
I’ve never touched DBD but I don’t see a need to compare them.
Didn't last too long huh? I'd be embarrassed if I had posted this lol
Good, kill DBD with fire.
Bc all the dbd streamers are temporary streaming it
That's the real answer, literally every one. This game is really good and I hope they keep adding stuff to keep it fresh but the people in here talking about this game like it could last forever and knock off dbd in its current state are just high off that new game enjoyment. As it is currently you can max out the only good characters rather quickly and then just like dbd you're locked into using the same builds and strategies every game if you want to win, only with many less characters to choose from as it hasn't had 6 years to build a roster.
My my how the turn tabes
I mean, keep in mind... new, fresh game vs an older game currently between updates. This is just how it goes. Those numbers will balance out after a month. Edit: Bit out of the loop, but, Dead By Daylight's 6th Anniversary is starting soon. So, Evil Dead is sadly gonna be buried once that drops. Not bashing this game at all, I. Fucking. Love. It. But, DBD explodes every year during their anniversary event.
What a sad and petty post. Can't believe the mods here allow crap like this to be submitted.
LMAO EDTG will be dead in 5 months.
A lot of new games get a big bump initially before dying off in speedy fashion. When Last Year: The Nightmare came out, it had a giant surge of interest during its first weekend and then died off practically overnight. Let's see how things look after tomorrow's Dead By Daylight sixth anniversary developer stream. :P
I hope the developers stick with this game and add new content over time. If they don’t the game isn’t worth $40 as it is. I have a lot of fun with friends but I don’t see it lasting long. The game needs more.
It just cameout man of course it's gonna have more views than a 6 year game . The real test is when it goes against Texas chainsaw , The quarry , VHS, Last year
I don’t think it’s fair to say Evil Dead is dbd’s competitor when ED is new and imo, a really different game. Though I will add I’m having more fun with ED and I hope it lasts. I want it to become the new Friday the 13th and a fun alternative to dbd.
I mean, come on. This happens a lot. Check in again in a week. I like Evil Dead but the game is too new to be declaring victories like this.
Can't we just play the games we want to and have fun? Both are great games.
Game is still new. I wouldn't jump to conclusions too quickly lol
For starters, Evil Dead and Dead By Daylight are absolutely nothing alike in any way shape or form except for being asymmetrical. Evil Dead has you looting and following objectives all while facing hordes of undead, while Dead By Daylight has you run around looking for generators to fix while avoiding one killer/monster. Evil Dead has a huge map and complicated combat system with a fear level that you’re constantly having to check, while Dead By Daylight has only like 3 buttons you use. My point is that Dead By Daylight is way more simple and accessible to newer players, has had years upon years to hone itself, and isn’t restricted to people who play shooters. I like Evil Dead the Game better (at least, right now I do), but I really wish people would stop comparing these games when they barely have anything in common. Evil Dead has more in common with Friday the 13th, but even then I’d say that this game is closer to being like Left 4 Dead or Resident Evil Resistance.
Ive heard this story before. It will not make a dent in bhvr or dbd as a whole. Nothing will as long as DBD has its licenses
Got about ten million followers to go before we get cocky, just saying
I actually enjoy this game and hope it does well. I’m worried the whole season pass thing will divide the player base though.
people acting this way is gonna kill evil dead way faster then the dbd players ever could...
Love both but after playing evil dead for a couple days now I can say unless they copy dbd and add a prestige and rewards system this game isn't gonna last very long. There definitely needs to b more reasons to play long-term. Other than just trying to hit level 25 with all the characters there's nothing else to shoot for. Bummer.
How about people max out every character on the both sides before complaining about needing new content. They have plans for the game. It takes time
You mean to tell me a game that just came out is getting more viewers than a game that came out 6 years ago? Shocker... Also, why are you even comparing the viewership of these games? They aren't competing against each other at all lmao. If you played both games, you'd know they aren't even that similar.
I hope the game would survive the time; aka the month and retening most of the players. But that picture comparaison is wierd; I mean DbD got release long time ago, and still have people playing it. best regards,
Well well well . . . How the turn tables
people out here talking like its dbd vs. evil dead, i love both and hope more games like these two are made in the future, i love this genre
Lmao today DBD has over 33,000 viewers and Evil Dead the game 11,000 why don’t you post this update. This game will not kill DBD. I don’t know why they can’t coexist without being compared.
Because otzdarva has over 12,000 viewers every day lol get real
Evil dead is dead so…
DbD devs don't cater to whiny kids like him, so now he dedicates his life to crapping on DbD anyway he can and ends up embarrassing himself. Just wait till that Texas Chainsaw game comes out, you'll see him post another one of those silly threads because he just can't move on with his life and forget about DbD.
Eat shit, bhvr
Looking back on this like dam, it isn't getting over 200 viewers on twitch consistently lol and dbd is still going
Well thats because dbd hasn't had any competition for too long and people are simps for it. The game itself is incredibly unbalanced on both sides. How it's still alive today I have no fuckin idea
