Evil Dead VS RE:Resistance VS Friday the 13th
I didn't compare ED to Dbd since the only thing they share in common is being 4 v 1
Anyway, have you tried those games? Which one is better? Please share your opinion with me

RE: Resistance I have no experience, so I jump directly to Friday the 13th.

F13th is basically dead on PC, due of the famous endless lawsuit that de facto let the license to be not usable. No devs, no patch, paradise of cheater. Absolutely avoidable. On the paper, on the other hand, lawsuit apart, was way better than Evil Dead by a HUGE margin.

Said that, we all wait I think Texas Chainsaw Massacre as a true contender in the asym horror games genre.

I personally think F13 would've die anyway even without the lawsuit, If you watched steam charts, it kept going downhill within first few months

I would have to give it slightly to F13 but there are some glaring issues. I guess um...

F13's PROS:
  • F13 is still very much alive (and cheater free for the most part) on consoles.
  • The overall game design is better with a few issues here and there.
  • It would have continued to be amazing if the lawsuit hadn't killed it

ED's PROS:
  • Still alive and content hasn't ended (or it hasn't been announced)
  • Has cross-play, for some people this really matters.
  • Offers a different and honestly also enjoyable experience

Most of its cons are the inverse of the above lists. Both games are imperfect but at least ED is still kicking, so that's what I'm playing now.

A little miffed I wasn't able to get the Savini skin on this one since I did get Savini Jason and I wanted to make them both complete.

I can't speak for Resistance, is that still going? I thought it had been abandoned but IDK.

Those were some nice points but I believe winning in ED is way more satisfying than F13 however F13 is much likely a horror focused game while ED is action focused 4v1 game
Resistance is in the same situation as Friday the 13th on consoles, still kicking
Anyone try the puppet master game?

RER is only 10~20 steam online and very negative trash game.
and really broken game too. no middle server, no anti cheat, no more update, balance broken too.

F13 is not dead on PC, but it certainly isn't what it used to be.

It has that nasty rep because it might as well have been for well over a year.
A group of script kids were able to hijack the netcode and ran hacked servers that would hoover up user traffic 24/7. This made legitimate match-making near-impossible, but it has been resolved.

F13 is the absolute best Assym hide-and-go-murder has to offer, if you are asking for a comparison. The developers clearly had just as much love and respect for that franchise as the makers did in this game, as well.
In that game the Survivors are practically passive & trying to escape, with only a very specific way to attempt defeating the Killer. The Killer themselves is completely hands-on, as well -- instead of being incorporeal and tied to environmental trigger points.

Check out Last Year it just re-released on Steam and it was bought out by a new dev team that plans to launch major updates these upcoming months.

Thanks for the heads up!

Grabbed that title a long while ago for dirt cheap, but it was already DOA. Glad to know it's been resurrected, because it seemed to hit a sweet spot.

It's a asym 3 vs 4, first in the genre. Due the work they did for F13, I got huge expectation upon this incoming title.

Don't fail me again, Admiral!

Yep, all those games are ded. (Tack on Hide or Die and Last Year)
Evil Dead & Dead by Daylight are the only ones left.

Last Year got another "reboot" few days ago, but I ain't aware of the general situation after this desperate "reboot". I think that could be just another cashgrab.
