Friday the 13th the game clone?
Why do I feel like this game is just going to be a clone of Friday the 13th the game?

They are different, period. Next question.

not based on from what I am seeing and reading. It looks like the only reason this game exists was because the friday the 13th game was gaining some traction. So try better when answering.

This game was announced before Friday the 13th

Actually friday the 13th game was announced quite a while ago under a different name. More than likely before this game ever was.

dead by daylight has been in the works for 6 years. You cant make a game like this in 6 months from scratch.

Fine at least you provided sources. Unliek the first two people. This game still looks like it is just taking friday the 13th i mean even the killer looks like a rip off of jason. Friday the 13th the game will be far superior. A game in the work for 6 years like this I tend to be wary of sometimes cause that usually means there were alot of problems devleoping it.

Dead by daylight will have multiple killers, 3 on launch. I can see Dead by daylight got inspiration from a lot of different areas, but nothing is a copy at all. It looks like everything in Dead by daylight is very original and I like that because they can do whatever they want in the future, they aren't locked into one genre with limited ideas.

Both games will be cool, but I think Dead by daylight will be more fun and more longevity. Friday the 13th looks more like a novelty game that would be fun for 10 minutes and then you never play again. But thats just me. Everyone likes different styles.

Agreed, I will be playing both. Enough room for everyone.

I really doubt it's been in development that long as the alpha seemed thrown together in a matter of months.

Everyone thinks its a copy... No offense but this isn't the first game thats like this, and it has been in development for quite some time. I honestly don't care what you have to say though. Just know your facts before you start claiming stuff. Thanks.

I never claimed anything. I had a question mark by my statement. I just had a geenral feeling. was all. Read my statement carefully next time.

They're similar but different in a lot of ways...

Here's an example:

In this game you can play as a generic killer, in Friday the 13th you play as Jason... and Jason is an unstoppable godly beast that only keeps getting stronger over time, if he see's you, you're most likely going to die.

The game is against you in Friday the 13th if you play as a camp counselor where as DbD is balanced... Meaning if you're a good enough survivor you can avoid death completely and actuallly shame the killer to a degree for not being efficient enough.

And that's just one example... there are others, Google is your friend.

Not to mention Dead by Daylight gets far, far more artistic freedom since it's not constrained by it's license like Friday the 13th is.
