Gaming News: Popular horror game "Dead by Daylight" to receive big new update in June.






Hot on the heels of it's two year anniversary, Behaviour Studios' popular online horror game is getting ready for a big new update to celebrate. This new update will include some changes to the game's mechanics but what has fans buzzing most is that developers have announced that a new chapter will be included in this update. For those who don't know, a new chapter includes a new killer, survivor, map and all the lore that comes with it. Behaviour has remained tight lipped about this new chapter but they did tease it at PAX north in Boston recently by handing out cards showing a piece of the new killer (shown above). This chapter will be different from previous chapters in that with it's release, new cosmetics will be available following the theme of this chapter for all unlicensed survivors. The new killer seems to have a carnival aesthetic which is also something different for Dead by Daylight as the previous (unlicensed) chapters have been centered more towards a dark forest theme.
         Apart form this new chapter other changes will include the ability for players to unlock DLC content from previous chapters by playing the game instead of purchasing them as this is currently the only way to obtain them. This has long time fans of the game who have paid for the soon to be free DLC a bit upset. During a weekly informational developer Twitch stream, it was announced that players will not receive any compensation for the purchases since the option to buy will still be available.
        For the One year anniversary, a community event was held in which players could earn double the points for the week long celebration as well as unlock new cosmetics for certain characters and the community is anticipating another big event this year. Personally, I have been playing this game since the beta testing phase and it has been so fun being a part of it's growth. Starting out an indie title, Dead by Daylight has quickly become a popular choice for gamers and viewers on steaming platforms. Dead by Daylight is a true underdog success story, even among the big competitor and similar game Friday the 13th. I cannot wait to see what the developers have in store for fans next and where this game will go.
       Dead by Daylight is available on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. For the all latest news, you an catch  weekly developer stream on Twitch every Thursday or just come back here to Aisle 13.

    Been thinking about playing this game for quite a while, and this may have just sold me! I'm impressed by the developers bold choice to make DLC unlockable without need of immediate purchase, and the teasing of a carnival themed DLC is also enticing.

Saturday Night In: Creep

          You know those people that are nice to an uncomfortable extent? The type that get a little too comfortable with strangers too fast? Sure they might be a little odd and have a strange sense of humor but they're probably harmless... most of the time.           Creep is the dark, and strange story of one such man (played a little too well by Mark Duplass) who puts an ad in the paper looking for a videographer to film a day in his life. He slowly reveals that that he has been diagnosed with cancer and has only months left to live. He wants to document a personal day in the life so that his unborn son has a video of his father to watch and grow up with. It's a touching premise but things don't stay sweet for very long as the day goes on. Things go from uncomfortable to creepy as the things our protagonist reluctantly agrees to film get stranger.           Duplass does a great job taking the story from ...

Friday Favorites: The Thing (1982)

          An isolated and frozen outpost, an armed and cranky crew of scientists and a shape shifting alien that can assume the look of any living being it wants. If that doesn't convince you that The Thing is a "must see" for any sci-fi/horror fan then allow me to also add that it is helmed by legendary director, John Carpenter and stars a young and scared Kurt Russel as the iconic protagonist, R.J. MacReady.           The story opens to an areal shot of a Husky running quickly though the snow and dodging bullets coming from a helicopter flying overhead. The dog quickly makes it to an outpost full of scientists who have been there way too long for their liking. As the story advances we begin to find out that the crew may have found themselves in a bit of a pickle (rather the pickle has found them) when they discover that another outpost miles away has been completely deserted and trashed. As the crew tries to find out what could've ...
