In translating the core gameplay to new platforms, Côté describes some of the considerations needed both for the Switch and upcoming mobile version of the game. For Nintendo, "the biggest thing with the Switch is obviously that visually it had to be accommodated and optimized a little bit compared to what we have on high end PCs…However, playing it in handheld, I think there is something kinetic about it, literally you’re so crunched into it, to me it’s a very different experience, I like that. I try to play at least a few games per day, especially on a new platform so I know what the hell I’m talking abo

It's strange when a battle pass for a game offers the best weapon skin in the entire thing for simply purchasing the battle pass. The Intimidator skin for the Spitfire light-machine gun turns the beefy powerhouse into what looks like a deep ocean-dwelling mons

The revamping of the leaderboards is certainly an interesting point to consider because the core concept of Dead by Daylight is that it is an anti-social multiplayer game. Some players may often think about how to maximize their score, but others simply play the game for the fun of its terrifying gamep

The golden teeth on the front of the gun and muted blue throughout really bring the design of the skin together. Respawn needs to do a better job of having several skins of this quality throughout the entire battle pass and not just at the beginning and

This happens to all of us. People that play shooters typically avoid a wireless mouse because of latency concerns, but wired mice that run behind our desks get wrapped up in a tangle of cables from monitors, headphones, keyboards, and routers. It's a problem that we most of the time don't even realize happened. In the heat of battle, you may not even register your mouse got snagged. This will never be a problem again once you get the Bunker RGB from Coug

Along with being added to the game, Wattson was also given a skin for the second season. The skin is called Hot Rod and embraces the engineering she's so familiar with. Its design seems to be a mix of steampunk and classic car inspirations that come together to form an interesting and very cool aesthe

In the last few rings of the game, it’s especially important to keep an eye on the location of each upcoming circle. Players who know the map well can anticipate endgame situations that provide opportunities for both high-ground and low-ground positioning. Players who want to win should aim to do everything they can to take out their opponents before this happens, even if this means pushing the fight from a lower le

However, in cases where this is simply not possible, find cover and try to anticipate opponents’ moves. The majority of time, due to the circle constraints or simply the desire to take down their opponents before the final circle ends the game, they’ll drop from the high-ground position. Be ready for it and take advantage of the situation by having shotguns on h

Perhaps even more than playing Dead by Daylight , its player base loves speculating about who the next survivors and killers will be to join in on the terrorizing fun that is sacrificing to, or escaping, the Entity. We recently had the opportunity to speak with Mathieu Côté, the game director for the game at Behavior Interactive, and he had some fascinating insight on how these characters are chosen, as well as why Scooby Doo and the Mystery Incorporated gang will likely never appear in the g

The mobile platform is it’s own monster to deal with, "the controls were the first thing we tackled, obviously, because its how you enjoy the game," Côté describes, "The team really nailed it, it’s simple, it works. We had a bit of an edge because the game was always designed to be a two-button game. Ideally it was played on a controller, and the early prototypes were two shoulder buttons and the thumb sticks, and that was

"Scooby Doo is near and dear to Behavior, we’ve made a few PS5 exclusive Games over the years, so yes, it is something we have brought to the table a couple of times. Unfortunately, the Scooby Doo franchise is one that they absolutely now want to keep kid friendly forever. There have been a few exceptions, on Supernatural the TV show and the Scooby Apocalypse comic series, and maybe there was a time they were more open to that kind of thing, but no, there is no chance right now. But that sort of thing, yes, we are constantly looking at what else we can do. The Scooby Doo thing was obviously one of the first things we looked

There are so many characters that seem to fall within a grey zone of being appropriate for Dead by Daylight . This writer would love to see the Aliens franchise represented, with a Xenomorph killer and Ellen Ripley combining a flash light onto a tool box with duct tape, but the idea may simply be too far into the genre of Science Fiction to fit into the game, even if horror elements are pres
