‘Dead By Daylight’ Gets First Gameplay Footage
We were first introduced to the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead By Daylight a month ago, but this is the first semi-substantial look at what developer Behaviour is cooking up for us with their first stab at the slasher genre. The core idea behind it should sound all-too-familiar at this point, as both Last Year and Friday the 13th: The Game seem similar enough in structure and appearance to be difficult to distinguish from one another.
There is a difference though, and it’s a big one.
Like its competitors, Dead By Daylight pits two teams of players against each other in a fight for survival. One side is comprised of a gaggle of teens — four, to be specific — while the other consists of a lone wolf type that’s been tasked with inflicting murder upon them. In this case, the hunter can come in a variety of forms that range from your traditional masked murderer archetype to something more supernatural.
The procedurally generated environments should go a long way in making sure each map plays out different from the last. All three of these stab ’em ups will rely on their randomized, unpredictable nature, but this game seems to cherish that trait the most.
There’s no release date for it yet, but we do know it’ll come to PC. Speaking of which, if you own a decent rig and can keep a secret, you might want to sign up to be an alpha tester.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
