Why has there not been a horror icon fighting game?

Honestly, I can’t be the only one who’s wanted this…

Pinhead vs Chucky
Candyman vs Frankenstein’s Monster
Pennywise vs Freddy Kruger
Dracula vs Jason Voorhees
Michael Myers vs The Mummy
Leatherface vs Norman Bates in full drag

What characters would you put in a horror-themed fighting game?

I wouldnt wanna see anyone who leans too far into the action genre though.

They could be put into classes like slashers, undead, psycho, etc…

There was a shitty one.
It would kinda boring though.

Better to make a good version of dead by day light where these killers have their actual powers and can use it to torture/kill other players in pvp.

Without them being nerfed.

I mean that would definitely be great, each character gets their own respective arena.

Considering the state of gaming, and how companies are trying to stretch out games lifetimes, it’d be worth doing.

Never liked dbds set up though, just uninteresting to me but I think its cool how many characters they added.

It’s because the execution is horrible.
I mean seriously.
You play as a psycho demon killer that cant kill?
And they can get away so fucking easy cause every character has OCD so they cant keep attacking?

The idea. The concept, is there for massi to e potential.

I’m not sure if I’d play it or not, but a big horror fan.
However, it would be fun as hell for horror fans be the real killer, or, to try and survive the actual horror character.

The problem is, for these asymmetrical games, developers are afraid to make the solo faction as strong as they’re supposed to be.

It’s the same problem here.

I would play it however, if the game was fully revolved around using powers and traps to kill those trying to escape.

Where theres no direct combat.

A different idea all together From a fighting game, but its just I’d like to see games try and fully utilize a characters abilities and techniques, powers, ect.

It’d definitely have to be slow paced, and the killer needs to be balanced somewhere between immediate lethality, and yet still able to be escaped… otherwise who’s gonna play?

They could even be original with the killer for the sake of mechanics and playability, but it’s a hard thing to balance considering players will abuse everything they can to win. Like in this game.

How would it work if you have any ideas?

Nether realm has discussed making a game like this. But I’d want Pumpkinhead.

Theres a game on playstation, I forget the name,
But it’s a single player game, and what I’m thinking is just like that.

The ones trying to survive or escape are not really supposed to have more than a 10% chance of escaping.

The goal of the game is not so much winning one way or another.

But more to see who can create the best horror trap scenario.

It would be super targeted to those who love horror for the survivor side.

I’m not doing anywhere near as well as job explaining it as I should be.

Tho this idea has a lot of room to play with.

Such as, there could be different themes.

Demonic haunted house, a saw like warehouse, an alien creature infested cave.

Damn bro, @Slut_Master_X sorry for straying so far from your idea, this honestly just came to me suddenly lmao.

All good I’m just spitballin here anyway lol

It was on ps1?

Its an actual series.
I ran into it on ps3, it was free for ps plus.

It was such a fun unique concept.

I’m heavily considering the one for ps4 atm.

I cant find the one I played on ps3 tho.

Heres a vid to give an idea.

And yes. It looks like it was.

@Eshtion

But instead of you moving the character Around, you set traps before hand, and continue to lay traps or summon creatures as the match continues.

As for balance, add a limit to things you can set.
However, make it a decent amount.

Fuckin weeb shit goddammit lmao

Yeah this woulda gone 180 fathoms under my radar. Interesting concept though

Lmao ps plus game bro.
Ran Into a lot of good games cause of it.

Like X-com.

I miss when we got good games tbh.

Btw, freddy Kruger would be perfect for this.

Xcom pissed me the fuck off seriously.

I used to love rts like cnc (command and conquer not consensual non consent) and I also love redlettermedia in which rich Evans expressed a love for xcom… but when I got xcom 2 free on psn… I still felt gyped…

How. In THE fuck. Can my shots miss. When I am standing one space apart from an enemy. No. And then I lose my guys I spent so much time perfecting. No. Fuck xcom.
