Leatherface Revs up His Chainsaw to Join Dead by Daylight

Asymmetrical multiplayer games are gaining popularity, especially horror-themed ones. Friday the 13th is a highly-successful Kickstarter project that lets gamers slip on the hockey mask of the Camp Crystal Lake killer Jason Voorhees and hunt their friends (or vice versa), and Last Year is an upcoming game in the same vein but with a new villainous protagonist who stalks the halls of a high school. However, Dead by Daylight remains one of the better asymmetrical multiplayer horror games thanks to its bevy of creepy locations and playable characters, the latest of which is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s iconic Leatherface.

Like other asymmetrical multiplayer horror games, Dead by Daylight places four players in the roles of innocent teenagers (the Survivors) and pits them against one player who controls an evil monster or a deranged, psychopathic human (the Killer). The goal of the Survivors is to, well, survive and escape, and all the Killer needs to do is hunt down the Survivors and kill them by sticking them on giant meat hooks.

As The Texas Chainsaw Massacre fans would expect, Leatherface wields his signature chainsaw as he hunts down more victims, but it isn’t the only tool at his disposal. Like other Killers in Dead by Daylight, Leatherface comes with his own set of perks. The first, Knock Out, doesn’t let Survivors know the location of his victims (if they are too far away). The second perk, Barbecue & Chili, grants Leatherface temporary awareness of the general location of opposing players after sticking a Survivor on a hook, but only if the opposing players are more than 36 meters away. Letherface’s third and final perk, Franklin’s Demise, forces Survivors to drop an item whenever they’re attacked, which damages the item.

Leatherface isn’t the only guest character to appear in Dead by Daylight, as Halloween’s Michael Myers was patched into the game on October 25th last year, albeit as paid DLC. However, Leatherface’s inclusion demonstrates Myers wasn’t just a one-off cameo and that the developers at Behaviour Interactive are trying to include as many classic slasher killers as possible. With luck, we might soon see the likes of Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, Pennywise the Dancing Clown (the Bill Skarsgard version, not the Tim Curry version), and Ghostface from Scream in the game.

Leatherface is currently available for only $3.99, but the good news does not stop there. Gamers can play Dead by Daylight for free for the next several days, and the game is also on sale for $9.99. However, this deal won’t last long, so take advantage of it while you can.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

What are your thoughts on this? Does the allure of The Joker entice you to return to Suicide Squad, or have you remained a loyal fan all along? We value your feedback and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.
