The Nurse also has the ability to attack immediately out of her blink, allow for a rapid way to strike Survivors running way from the fearsome killer. However, if you choose to attack out of this Blink and miss then the Nurse is placed in a recovery period that slows her movement speed and forces her to recover before she can attack. Even with this drawback being able to strike out of such a fast and powerful ability is yet another reason the character is still a force to reckoned w

On paper this ability does not seem all that useful, yes it allows players to travel the map incredibly quickly but there is another layer that makes the move such a threat in the Dead By Daylight strategy by Daylight meta. By adding additional time to Spencer's Last Breath the Nurse can blink multiple times in succession. These multiple blinks add an additional second to the recharge period per blink used in succession but it can be used to rapidly cover the distance of a fleeing survivor in an inst

An unoriginal but effective solution that Dead by Daylight has recently incorporated is the Battle Pass system, known as The Rift. This provides yet another method of quantifying individual success even when winning through traditional objectives is not achieved, and it is fantastic in its implementat

Predator: Hunting Grounds is in an interesting spot right now, as the game has only released two weeks ago but with many players, this writer included, capped at level 100 with no more weapons or perks to unlock. The game is fantastic and worth playing solely for its gameplay, but will that be enough to sustain a player base in a game that cannot exist without a healthy number of Fireteam and Predator players? No, it is not, and that is why we are so excited and hopeful to see what Illfonic has in store for its year-long road

These themes are what carry into Dead by Daylight , where Pyramid Head is called "The Executioner" and serves as a judge for every Survivor — including Cheryl, or Heather Mason from Silent Hill 3 . According to Richard, "The first three Silent Hill games were mind-blowing and always in the back of my mind ... It just made sense for me to pick elements, the most iconic things, from each of the titles and make a big Silent Hill package." While Midwich Elementary School is a recreation of its PlayStation 1 iteration, Pyramid Head's model is similarly based on his PlayStation 2 origins, recreated with modern technology — though the monster has appeared in more recent iterations as a sort of mascot for the ser

Cote said the team still has a lot of original stories to tell so that Dead by Daylight is "first and foremost" its own lore that can invite visitors like Pyramid Head without "diluting" it. Any medium which could fit well within their world would be open to discussion in the future, he said, and there are still some properties that are "big enough" to make it into Dead by Daylight . However being recognized by "legends of our own industry" is humbling to the team, and Cote said they hope to do Pyramid Head just

Finding success with Michael Myers is about being patient with the character. He is not as aggressive as a Killer as some of the other roster members are, but when you acquire enough Evil Within gauge, he becomes a steam roller, killing everyone in his path. So simply put, stay patient and smart, use as much time as you can get to level up your Evil Within gauge, and then enjoy the unleashed potential of Michael Meyers. He is a Killer with a high skill ceiling but he is incredibly rewarding for players willing to put the time in with his toolkit. So take your time and be wise with Michael Meyers and before you know it you will be taking out Survivors in no t

There is a healthy balance of give and take on both sides, and in the end, one side is victorious by a narrow margin. This could mean that a killer or hunter does a lot of damage to the team (multiple hooks or downs, but no kills), or that all objectives are complete, only for everyone to die right before escap

One thing that was interesting about developing the Silent Hill chapter for Richard was seeing how many people at Behaviour Interactive knew in-depth details about the franchise and locations like Midwich. He said artists came to him with ideas about adding little references, which led to it being "packed with secrets." Cote said this passion emphasizes the franchise's significa

Getting to work with all of these different elements from the franchise is "practically a dream come true" for Richard, even though Cote said the "humbling" experience comes with a lot of pressure. Cote said the worst thing that can happen with a bad execution on their original characters is they have an uninteresting chapter, but screwing up Silent Hill — particularly after the fan hype behind games like P.T. — is "not really something you can get back up fr

In both games, players will find that they are rewarded with Blood Points and rank, or experience points, by engaging in a broad range of activities. A survivor in Dead by Daylight who repairs generators quickly and escapes safely but by chance never encounters the killer or had the opportunity to engage in altruistic actions may have "won", but their quantifiable post-match rewards will be minimal, and they may even lose a r
