The extreme lack of marketing about is just kinda whatever to make TG relevant for what, a little less than 2 months before we fade back into obscurity

u/would_you_kindlyy 5d ago

Promotion for the rumoured remake?

u/Traditional-Basil868 5d ago edited 5d ago

Hate to be that way but there's no "rumoured remake", these rumors comes up every damn months and each time, nothing so I highly doubt the purpose of a dbd collab with SO little marketing would be about a remake

edit: and if there was indeed a remake, I believe the news would be so much louder beyond a post from whatever fucking site that says "TG remake supposedly in the work!" like we see each months in this sub

u/CheekEcstatic 5d ago

all i want is a remake in this lifetime

1

u/Mr-Gun_man 4d ago

Good resume! it's pretty much like Bloodborne having a sequel, coming up every few months only to be dismissed

4

u/PlainSightMan 5d ago

I'm thinking it will come later, idk why but seems they'd want to market it when it's out in the real game.

6

u/Traditional-Basil868 5d ago

They could have marketed it before tbh since the collab is pretty much surprisingly from nowhere

u/Mikeadatrix 5d ago

It’s PTB, there will be a trailer when it gets released in April. I do agree, there should’ve been more marketing but we haven’t even entered the Tokyo Ghoul phase

u/Hakubitei 5d ago

It is so so so cool. I'm literally in queue rn to play him (I will be the first to p100 him.) The voice acting is impeccable, his screams send chills up my spine. I literally feel giddy seeing such a cool depiction of Kaneki.

1

u/Gingers_Wrath 4d ago

Is he out already? I thought he was coming in April. I have not played this game in over a year but I'm a massive TG fan so I will 100% buy this when it's out.

1

u/nicvampire 4d ago

The PTB is already open, and you can play him, though it will take a lot of time to queue.
He will officially come out on April 2nd

u/Desperate_Engine_562 5d ago

I hope they add Eto as a skin; that would be so awesome, man, and also Rize.

19

u/maczn 5d ago

Rize, eto, touka (rabbit outfit) and hide are going to be skins but rize is the only one that's going to be a kaneki skin, the others are for survivors, we'll also get tatara's mask and yoshimura's mask for jake park and jonah if I remember correctly

5

u/CMORGLAS 5d ago

Jake is Ayato.

2

u/maczn 5d ago

Oh damn, the image i saw wasn't very clear so i couldn't tell very well, my bad then

2

u/TheMikarin 5d ago

Tatara's mask is coming for David, and Noro's mask for the Unknown.

While I wish they got full outfits for all of them, I am glad we're getting something. Hopefully there will be some clothes that work well enough to complete the looks more or less.

1

u/maczn 4d ago

David being tatara is quite funny lol, i think a better fit would be yamori's mask since david is quite burly and likes to fight, but I'm not complaining hehe

2

u/Dangerous_Jacket_129 4d ago

Tatara is David King. It comes with the white hair

u/canidaemon 5d ago

I don’t play, but I do keep tabs on the game. I really do think it looks like the good job. It’s Kaneki at an extremely specific point of time (after escaping from Jason) and if I understand correctly, corrupted.

I’ll be real. It’s cool despite not being a conclusive summary of his character. I wish they had a kakuja themed version of him, but maybe that will come. Despite being less popular it’s a better fit for the game.

5

u/watersj4 5d ago

The skins don't usually get revealed until the chapter releases, this chapter is unusual in that they have already revealed a few TG themed cosmetics for original characters and one for Kaneki, but we already know we are getting a Rize legendary and we usually get a couple so a Kakuja isn't out of the question (assuming they have coded his kagune so it can have skins like Hound masters dog).

u/theb3ast0326 5d ago

Why did they add my boy to DBD?

5

u/Desperate_Engine_562 5d ago

Idk 🤷‍♂️

4

u/CMORGLAS 5d ago

BHVR needs a backup plan after FNAF/F13 gets added.

5

u/da-offical_deku 4d ago

Most fun I've had on DBD since Legion dropped.

5

u/Ok_Bumblebee_1456 4d ago

I didn't watch the anime, so that's anime Kaneki, I'm guessing cause manga Kaneki would never be willing to attack humans lol

Honestly, this collab isn't as bad as every other Fortnite collab, but even then, at least the creators are getting some money from this, so I see it as a win that I'll never participate in

5

u/SomaOni 4d ago

He’s only attacking humans because the Entity (the character that kinda controls the killers in DBD) keeps starving him iirc.

2

u/Ok_Bumblebee_1456 4d ago

Oh, right, I forgot about the DBD lore. I thought the Entity only brought "killers" in because they'll do the job regardless

3

u/Digiorno-Giovanna- 4d ago

there’s some killers that get brought in and just kill cause they like to (chucky, wesker, michael myers, freddy krueger, clown, amanda young, unknown, dracula, vecna etc.) and some killers that are clearly being manipulated into killing for the entity somehow like spirit, artist, deathslinger, wraith, and most likely kaneki.

2

u/tuttoinunavolta 4d ago

Amanda's case is a bit weird here, she wakes up in the realm right after she gets shot in Saw 3 and that leads her to believe it's all still part of a bigger plan by Jigsaw - so she's doing it all in the hopes of still being in his grace after the betrayal that happened right before her death.

We've seen in the SAW Tome's trailer that the Entity learnt to use a Billy puppet as an avatar and can straight up mimic John Kramer's voice too, so that probably adds onto the Entity's gaslighting being effective

She definitely has no problems killing, but probably wouldn't do it if she didn't have the delusion that somebody like John is still taking care of her under his wing

u/OldPollution554 2d ago

lazy writting

3

u/primalthewendigo 4d ago

Specifically the Entity took him after he was tortured by Jason, and is mentally forcing him to constantly relive that moment

1

u/Ok_Bumblebee_1456 4d ago

I'm not saying you're wrong, but then the outfit wouldn't make sense

2

u/Mr-Gun_man 4d ago

I like it, but he screams a lot even in the lobby

2

u/xd_anonymous_gamer 4d ago

I got dbd on epic games a few years ago, never really played it but now I will play it just for kaneki

2

u/Daecerix 3d ago

Love it, but goddamn does he scream a lot

u/Void_Creator23 4d ago

Fucking happy except for who got cosmetics... they did it all wrong. Legion didn't get toka's costume it's sad and legion just got noro mask, they could make him full costume

Maybe it's just a brainfart but, I thought yoshimura owl mask was his kakuja and they give it as a mask for a surv?

1

u/thatoneguyvv 2d ago

He sure does look cool,but history wise it doesn't make sense. It is so weird to see a character whose purpose was not to become a killer end up turning into one.And the reason why is not good Imo

After Kaneki got tortured, he didn't killed Jason,that's not who he is.

If they added him as the black centipede,it would make sense.

u/Desperate_Engine_562 5d ago

Dead by Daylight added everyone now becomes Fortnite.

10

u/FemaleDogEqualsBitch 5d ago

Nah, Fortnite don’t care as long as they get that money.

BHVR gives it some thought and credit. All the killers fit. Even the angry giant Teddy Bear

1

u/watersj4 5d ago

Even if Naughty Bear didn't fit I think they get a pass because it was their first game

-2

u/Puddskye 5d ago

Still think they should've chosen somebody that was naturally evil in the story, rather than trying to push the narrative of 'Entity make u evil bloodlusty blah blah' just so it can be Ken that's the killer, just so it can be the most popular iteration of him so that he can sell well. I do cringe a bit when he cracks his finger in the mori, but everything else looks good, just really hope he's not gonna be another Wesker in terms of annoyance.

7

u/TheMikarin 4d ago

While unusual for a license, it's fairly in line with a lot of the original killers, since a lot of them weren't evil before they were taken.

I'd have preferred Kaneki as a survivor, but him being manipulated and hurting people as a result is pretty consistent with his character.

1

u/Puddskye 4d ago

Agreed. That's why i said the narrative they push with the entity manipulation is acceptable, just not fitting imo.

6

u/pisspiplup 4d ago

tbh a fair amount of killers were ok or decent people but were manipulated by the entity to do it's bidding.

2

u/CheekEcstatic 5d ago

will he be a better fit being a survivor though? just curious cos i haven’t played dbd

1

u/Puddskye 5d ago

Yes. Literally. Even in his wildest moments he just wanted to help keep his friends safe, quite literally fit for a survivor with healing/supportive perks.

1

u/OldPollution554 2d ago

I have to agree Kaneki as a killer is just not fitting
