Layer 4 (The Chase) Has Been Updated!

[@cockroach7052]

bring back the old theme chase sound.. this one sucks

[@OMOCarlos]

There's a common theme here- •Ask for a new chase music because the current one is obnoxious and bad •Recieve a new chase music •Complain about the new one and suddenly love the old one Appreciate what's there while it's there.

[@Woollyyyx3]

ex-fucking-actly. They ALWAYS use the same term "washing machine" "windshield wipers" This is why people who appreciate things never get shit. Ptb alien music was such a loss. New one sounds so boring and basic

[@Masternecron247]

Gamers are impossible to please. I'd hate to be a game dev as the sense of inadequacy I'd feel from all the constant whinging would be soul-crushing.

[@paganYT]

ikr? that is with the xenomorph issue lmao

[@paganYT]

so glad I uninstalled the game

[@Woollyyyx3]

@@Masternecron247 yeah I’d hate to be a game dev too if solutions sometimes exists. Why not just make an option where you can chose which chase music you want to hear on certain killers that got their music changed? It’s like they want to waste things.

[@franciscoaguilar2597]

The chase sounds more enticing, but also gives off the vibe that her walk animation should change to a more aggressive stance like Dredge or Ghostface. The terror radius matches her sassy power walk, but the chase doesn't really fit if she moves at the same pace.

[@TheSkullMerchantX]

I'm never changing the way I walk. I'm going to end you slowly for suggesting something so foolish!

[@Zertened]

no dont change her walk animation wtf shes suppos to be a sassy killer and its fine we already have 20 more killer having a normal walk for a killer can we stop cause theres actully people who like her walk and they should rework again her chase music for a more sassy but deadly chase music.

[@yes3802]

@@Zertened she needs to be reworked gameplay wise

[@Zertened]

@@yes3802 she already is

[@boundc.napalm3084]

Her suddenly transitioning into a more aggressive chase stance once she starts a chase just seems like it'd fit. The sass turns into pure malice once she starts chasing. Would also be dramatic as hell too. Just seeing her turn a corner with her power walk, before just transitioning into a more dangerous stance as she runs towards survivors

[@penguinproductions8829]

I like how there’s a kind of alarm at stage 2, showing that the survivors are intruding on her territory and alerting an apex predator

[@Vantitas]

Layer 4 is reminds me of that one famous video where a drummer was overqualified for a job.

[@Ming_7322]

The one where the drummer was dressed as a cat for a kids event?

​@@dumblenutz5561 true, but now to me he takes the center stage lol

[@dumblenutz5561]

@@brongis4797 Aight then, good. I'm just saying cuz i hate how many people said her original chase music was a shit short loop with the alarm sound when it really wasn't and there was this elaborate percussion underneath the entire time with everyone just refusing to detect it.

[@brongis4797]

@@dumblenutz5561 oh yeah I was one of the few who actually didn't mind her old chase theme that much, but I will say I prefer this one

[@NoMitherNoProblem]

@@dumblenutz5561I could detect the drum just fine, but that was the part of the chase theme that was good and that’s a problem when it’s drowned out by a looping drone (pun not intended). This one sounds so much better precisely because the good part of the chase theme takes center stage.

[@coolguyman16]

Normally they tend to hit it with the Chase Music updates, but for this one it really feels like somethings missing.

[@mazm8536]

Exactly, skull merchants drum track always slapped but in the old one it was drowned out by noise, all this needs is a rhythm or melody playing under it to and some flow to the kick of the drums and it’ll be perfect, I do like the sounds that jump from left to right in your ears tho

[@LynxRecruit]

@@mazm8536 The sounds in the chase music beneath the drums need the distortion and vibrato toned down while raising its volume a small amount. Not enough to over power the drums as is. But they need to bring in the noise in Layer 3 that gets higher before getting lower and perhaps, making it transition from left to right at a low-Ish volume. Then for me it’d be perfect-ish. It’s a chase music that has potential but feels limited in what they can do for improving it.

[@allisonnd14]

Agreed with the two people here. I'm not well versed in music so I'm sorry if someone already said this, but I personally think the component thats missing is that droning sound in the old one in layer 4. It feels.. awkward to me.

[@Mrspiderwalk]

First layer is so underrated. It’s my fav part.

[@porcoremi7893]

I'm glad they only changed the chase music itself. The 32 - 8 meter is actually so cracked I was scared this hefa was gonna lose them.

[@sgtbishop6845]

They removed the best part of it, the actual alarm sound made it scary 😡

[@Woollyyyx3]

yup. Same as in alien chase music in ptb. Idk but they've been removing the best parts lately.

[@victorfromm9355]

​@@Woollyyyx3 because people only say how good the alarm is when it's gone

[@irontarkus6515]

Respectfully, stfu. The old chase was really degrading and drowned out a lot. I doesn't matter how scary it is since it has to sound good first.

[@Woollyyyx3]

yeah and the only things they mention are "oh it sounds like a washing machine" or "windshield wipers hahahahaha!!!!" be original. I was so sad when I heard the new alien chase music because ptb one was great. Now its just boring and plain asf. sounds like standard chase music. @@victorfromm9355

[@Silent.Heaven]

Oh, so they just removed all uniqueness from chase layer and threw a shit ton of percussion

[@dumblenutz5561]

The percussion was always there. It's just that apparently most of the community is deaf and couldn't bring themselves to hear it over the alarm sound.

[@Silent.Heaven]

@@dumblenutz5561 or maybe the fact that they literally removed any essence of melody, turning it from a chase theme to a cool drum solo. No shit people are gonna hear the percussion more

i love that they leaned more into the drums with this one

[@AMemeableChannel]

Oh great, it seems that only I love her new chase music.

[@Sir_Slice]

That’s how it be! But I’m with you on this one, I like it too

[@mazm8536]

I like it, but I feel it’s missing something, I did want her drum track to shine and in the old one she had a drum track that went hella hard but it was drowned out by noise, I’m hoping they just add a quiet tune or rhythm playing under the drums to give the kick of the chase a little more energy, because as it stands the drum track is outstanding but the quiet rhythm that jumps between my earbuds isn’t enough, tho it does sound very cool

[@dylansmith196]

[@LeavingThisTownYT]

I see Adriana getting along well with Jane, rather than the siblings. Them, she'd kill first.

[@puppydawg-vb1mu]

Her hips move so well with the music

[@betagamer35]

I went back to the old version of the song. This is the same song but they just removed the upper layer.

[@MyzaruS2Roxy]

Como eu amo a 3 parte dessa música

[@PROJECT_SLASH]

After listening to the music, I have 2 things to say and one giant paragraph to write: 1. It sounds like Hag 2. It basically just removed one layer and added a background rhythmic synth noise Hag-wise, it has basically the same exact melody but with a different type of drum. The new sound, however (I think it’s new, I didn’t hear it before), does actually fit her character. It sounds slightly like… Singularity’s synth noise but broken down into milliseconds at a certain rhythm. And if I’m not wrong, the drums themselves are related to Brazil in some way. Overall, both are good but I would imagine most people want a change

[@Zertened]

No the new sounds doesnt fit her character shes suppose to be a smart killer being sassy now i just hear a crazy killer who wants to kill everyone like trickster and not even thinking this is so sad cause this is not Skull Merchant...

[@PROJECT_SLASH]

@@Zertened, I respect your opinion. This is just my take on it, I think it fits her origins and stuff.

[@Zertened]

@@PROJECT_SLASH I respect yours too but to be honest the only thing that is great for me is the drum which fits her latina side,

[@LeavingThisTownYT]

​@@ZertenedAww, is there a love story starting between you two?😁😁😁

[@Zertened]

@@LeavingThisTownYT ???

[@LynxRecruit]

My suggestion was to make the drums more audible, which is what they seemed to have gone for. But why the fuck did they distort and add an obnoxious vibrato to the chase musics lower layers? It feels incredibly disconnected from the drums and feels like the rest of the layers don’t exist.

[@sillyollie2727]

Skull merchant is now very barbaric and strange with this and her changes but i love it all at the same time. Bye bye alarm clock Hello mic hovered over box fan Love the now hear able drums❤❤❤❤❤ (It an improvement to her old self)

[@theuglybarnical]

There is a problem with the community on this chase. Skull Merchant comes out, fans don't like the chase. Bhaviour makes a new chase for Skull Merchant, Fans want the old chase back.

[@MalevolentAB]

THIS GOES SOOO HARD!!!

[@sixpyramidheads]

This one sounds really interesting though.

[@jeansoleilschafluetzel3346]

its the same track with the percussion brought forward and the "howling" noise dropped. now all it needs is the classic slap bass from killer-side default chase theme, and it would be really good!

[@Pinkyc0rn332]

It doesn’t sound that bad, but I loved that chaotic sound of the original more. The first chase music sounds like anxiety. This one is just kinda empty.

[@Orthane]

Her 16M terror radius should be her chase imo. It fits her so much better. The Drums make 0 sense to me, and how is this chase theme made for a technological killer that uses drones to track her prey? The constant whirring of the drones you hear in her Layer 2 theme matches her perfectly.
