Dead by daylight vs The Internet

Dead by daylight vs the internet

“In Dead by Daylight, you play as either a Survivor or a Killer. The Survivors aim is to escape the level, and the Killer’s goal is to stop them. Survivors use their 3rd person camera to look around, while the Killer’s FPS view is much more narrow”. Dead by daylight

This is a horror base multiplayer game that has a mix of co-op. it relies a lot of team work and communication from the survives side. And the killer has to use planning and strategy to eliminate all the survivors.

So this is a type of synopsis on the video game. As I have been following this game on how it works and the positive and negatives. in addition, I have seen how community act when they play and how they act when updates and things are added. Such as new locations, kill, survivors and perks/ability’s and equipment.

And I came to the conclusion that this game captures fear perfectly until you get on google. So let me explain by saying the killer are scary and terrifying for the most part. Until you get on the internet and figure out how the killer work is when they don’t become scary. For example, there a new killer in the game Freddy Krueger the nightmare man. He is a very intimidation character to go up against. Since he is invisible so you cannot see his coming. This was great until you go on the internet and figure out how he works.

Now Freddy isn’t scary now he’s just an obstacle you have to get past and not a threat. Since you know how he work and how to defeat him. Although you can’t hurt him which still make his type of threat as you’re still vulnerable. Unlike games such as Friday the 13^th were you know you can hurt and kill Jason. This is what makes dead by daylight scary and give you the feeling of fear. Also the game is really simple to play just fix the power and open the door to escape.

This game has a lot of similar to horror films and tell us a lot on how a person will react in a new but familiar situation. As the repetition of versing a foe that you have faced before. End up making the killer very watered down. As the heavy exposer make them like a clear picture. As he’s not scary anymore.

Like think of any monster from film for example the xenomorph and the predator. you know what they look like and how to kill them and how they work. This makes them not scary at all to the point kids like them. As their image of these characters are of drawing and pictures and costumes and not the film they originate from.

This is how the internet has effected horror. Although I don’t blame it running horror as it was going to happen one way or another.as humans true fear is the fear of the unknown. And when human don’t understand they will force to make seen of it. This is I’ve by curiosity or you push the human brain to the edge and it retaliated with full force. Leading to people creating these in-depth plans and ideas. Intentionally and unintendedly destroying the fear in these works of fiction.

In conclusion this is my synopsis on a video game hand how it worked down by in audience by the used of technology.
