What the?! Ghost Face in Hunt Showdown honest reaction

[@nerucheung]

Missed opportunity to add Jack the Ripper as Halloween skin

[@Ajattaro]

Jack the Ripper would have been pretty great and around the time in Victorian England

[@rabadooda]

At first I agreed that this crossover made no sense within the lore of Hunt Showdown, but then I did some research and discovered that the scream mask from the 1996 movie was inspired by an 1893 painting called 'The Scream' by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Which in turn was supposedly inspired, according to Wikipedia, "by a Peruvian mummy, which Munch could have seen at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris". So it could stand to reason that the same mummy that inspired Edvard Munch to paint "The Scream" also inspired the Scream character to put on the outfit we see in Hunt Showdown. Or perhaps its Edvard Munch himself underneath the mask. Which actually makes sense when you consider that the latest mythic hunter "The Shroud", released in the last update, is wearing a mummy outfit. Its kinda tenuous, but not quite as ridiculous as it seems at first.

Massive respect with coming in with some research. I’m glad we got scream

[@mallysixfour]

1:07 there's been plenty of skins that go against the "Hunt aesthetic", but because Ghostface is prominent figure in pop culture, people are complaining as if there weren't previous skins like that since he's well known, and I've noticed the playerbase loves to pick and choose what they deem suitable for Hunt and what's not - like the brand new Red Riding Hood skin for example: her story is set in the 1600s, she doesn't fight or use weapons, and is almost killed by a talking Wolf that is able to disguise himself as human... Why wasn't anyone talking about that when the event began? Ghostface looks sick imo, and the developers even redesigned him to be a literal serial gunslinger, when they could've easily used his movie attire and called it a day, meanwhile everyone is showing how ungrateful they are when Crytek only did this in order to continue supporting their game

[@pinkguy0]

I think people complain because they feel that they have finally sold out

[@Shadow_of_Gaming]

No has nothing to do with pop culture. I like the attire. They changed it to match the game. I was hope just more uniqueness in the face. Just to allow them to twist it. I think they have a great design team. Let’s go away from him look at the silence frontier. I have seen a similar pattern on other guns. Why not put like a red skull pattern on it instead of the vine design? Why just black silence bornheim? Maybe I can’t see the handle and might be something on the pistol. I rather see them push more uniqueness. Let them cook. I rather see something that is jaw dropping and be like holy shit that looks amazing.

[@mallysixfour]

@@Shadow_of_Gaming black weapons are cool to me since he wears all black in the movies, but the mask seems to be slightly cracked to differentiate itself but I agree they could've done more to it, however the focus seemed to be the outfit instead

[@NgaMarsters]

I think Little Red isn’t meant to be the literal Little Red Riding Hood from the fairy tales-her name isn’t Blanchette, and there’s no evidence she actually encountered a talking wolf disguised as a human (Bio only says 'The Wolf of the woods'). Instead, she’s likely a character who has taken on a persona from ancient legends that predate the current timeline in the Hunt universe, just like other characters. (Skinflint, Coal Bearer, llorona's heir etc.) This ties her more authentically to the game’s lore, unlike a Hollywood pop-culture icon from 1996, which feels out of place. While I think the design looks excellent and doesn’t necessarily clash with Hunt’s aesthetic, including such a character is polarizing enough to make it hard to justify it's addition, especially given its origins in the mid-'90s. People generally dislike including this skin because they believe it doesn't fit into Hunt’s pre-established universe. Using flawed comparisons like John Wick (an argument you used on Discord and other YT channels) would likely generate the same criticism as Ghostface’s inclusion as, again, it wouldn't be the quote quote 'suit' people would be upset with but the character itself. If you like the character's inclusion, that's fine, and you don't need to justify your preferences. However, objectivity and artistic integrity are more important to a game's overall value IMO. Still again, the skin looks fire.

[@dsantiago1000]

Because red riding hood is folklore, just like Frau and Coal Bearer. Ghostface and his gimmick isn’t even doable in Hunt’s setting. No pictures, no phones. At least with the folklore characters their stories are separate and reflecting the time. Ghostface is what? The original? He hits up a Cowboy through the telegram asking “what’s your favorite scary moving picture?” 😂 don’t get me wrong, I like the skin but I’m not gonna say it fits the setting at all

[@slaughterhaha212]

I think it fits perfectly

[@maxtugger1859]

They seemed to have made Ghost face slightly Hunt style, but I’m really worried about what new skins we get next.

[@GrowSniff]

i think it is cool as hell, super happy with it

[@kanelandes3485]

This is probably one of they only crossovers that actually works, let’s them fit the crossover into the lore, and is era viable. This is not a sign of Family guy/marvel crossovers, if we hit that point, hut would be dead

[@basedlibertyprime]

I have issues with this crossover because I’m afraid that this is the first big step down the slippery slope, I haven’t been happy with a lot of recent skins but this one is concerning to me.

@@basedlibertyprime we can cross the bad crossover bridge when we get there. This is clearly well thought out to not break lore or cannon

@@kanelandes3485 I have to disagree. Ghostface isn’t just a stab-happy maniac, there’s actually substance to the mantle. It’s just that all the gimmicks he’s known for can’t be done in this time period. No hacking, phones or cameras.

[@TheDarkCodexTTV]

I whole heartly agree with you, whilst its cool to have ghost face. Doesnt this undermine the whole tone of hunt? And its themes?

[@Shadow_of_Gaming]

Yes, that’s why does it have to be a mask? Why can’t it be a painted face like other. Just style the face paint like a mask. Like it’s cool but, make it fit hunt.

[@Spectre_Beats]

No one wants to acknowledge that the 'Reaper' skin was already our Huntified 'Ghostface' dlc, go search for yourself. Now we have a fortnite version for anybody who needed a more explicit reference to the movies

[@InstinctiveRelfex]

I understand wanting to change the mask to fit the time period, however, when working on a licensed IP you still have to meet certain parameters the IP holders want. In this case the original form of the Ghostface mask. They did age it to not be a stark white color, they changed the attire to fall more in line with the time period aesthetic and his weapons all have a subtle design. Crytek made him as period appropriate as they could while still adhering to to the agreement they signed for a Ghostface crossover. If someone has a complaint on the skin, they should at least know who to be upset with. If they start adding Gundam and 40k skins then people can get upset, an iconic slasher with some of the most subtle art design this game has produced is not a game breaker imo. After watching the video though I absolutely plan on changing steam name to Wazzup and asking people what there favorite scary movies are.

[@Shadow_of_Gaming]

FYI your comment in next video. I had a plan to do something. Instead I got these really amazing comments. You and everyone else gonna make me do a pivot now. You are 100% right. I hope you do so someone can yell “Hey yo Dookie pick up the phone!”.

[@TrueArt_1]

I think they should've brought in "Ghostface" in a more subtle way, like you mentioned. Perhaps with a slightly tanner face mask to make it feel wooden, making the eyes and mouth less curvy and more like carved slits, etc.

When do we get the Hello Kitty skin ?

[@darren1165]

Gotta feel bad for the devs to make us something cool for holloween but people will find something to complain about.. It's 1896 we get ghostface but themed it around hunt. Masks have been around thousands of years so this fits just fine. Like we literally have undead hunters ffs.

[@TheDarkCodexTTV]

@@darren1165 it's cool, but it makes me nervous for the future

[@Shadow_of_Gaming]

I never really complained but the mask looks to clean. I like the attire. Every time I look at it seems to nice. I look at hunt as rugged shoot them up cowboys. Maybe like a flaw like a crack or rough looking edges. I am buying the crap out of it. I am gonna through out movie liners mid game. I agree with @TheDarkCodexTTV with future stuff coming in.

[@handsomeon3618]

Honestly i will get back just because of this skin. Cry me a river guys

[@videos4myspace]

The beginning of the end. We used to have a cool cowboy game, but we've entered the cool game to Fortnite pipeline. Sad to see my favorite game slowly getting worse.

[@publicenemi1175]

Ghost face rocks!! Screw the cry babies

[@conrad_klooster]

I see this really different, this is awesome the scream face is so familiar and iconic it’s great to have that in 1896 as if it was already there way back then .. so I am totaly fine with it and also the way it looked is okay though ? Not bright white but old dirty gray/white. But indeed please no COD weird over the top stupid skins .. this is fine but leave it here .😊

[@verildarkvail4572]

There are hunters with full face masks in the game already they could have easily at least texture the mask to fit the materials available at the time.

[@leosaurusrex7848]

The reapers mask looks way worse than ghostface’s in my opinion. Reapers mask looks like cheap white plastic. So this to be fair is an improvement.

[@xxBeatcore]

I mean I like the idea of adding ghost face but why did they give him this stupid hat? Just leave him original.

@@Shadow_of_Gaming i cant take you seriously after using both ai art and the youtube's comment section under huntshowdown channel, that place is known to be extremely retrograde and not a voice for the community.

[@Shadow_of_Gaming]

@@mathiasrojas2712 Not jumping on hate nor do I want views. Was an honest take just straight from my head out. No script just watched the video twice and just did a honest look made something during my lunch. I do not hate the skin. I like it as a meme during Halloween. That's why I used only the funny ones. If I were jumping on hate I would of posted the real nasty ones. If you would of seen the next one and saw the comment I made you would of seen this was not about hate or views. But that is what is the best part of this experiment. I posted a question in other forms. Starting to see that only the bad people just post hate on the Hunt Showdown page on KZbin and a couple of other places. If you would see my comment part with people you can see my take. I honestly think this is a good thing for hunt.

[@J.luis1]

Yow pick up the phone!

[@sirenz_]

To be honest, I think it’s great. Ghostface is one of the best slashers/slasher films. Classic basically. And I do feel like it fits into the timeline. Masks were around forever.. hell the ronin (oni masked hunter) wouldn’t fit in/isnt “hunt themed” if that’s the case. I’m definitely looking forward to it. Going to be buying it the day it drops🫡

[@himynameischrisAVA]

You’re an idiot. The samurai were wiped out and disbanded around this exact time which makes perfect sense that you would have hunters that follow that method of warfare. Ghost face? Where did he get the plastic to make this mask? Should we have Art the clown too?

[@harrycundall7821]

I respectfully disagree with this, and I hope this comes across as genuine and not an attack (god I hate the internet these days that I need to preface that!) While yeah, ghost face is very much a horror slasher staple (no arguments there) and that masks have been around forever is also a true statement but you mention the Ronin. Oni masks have been a huge part of Japanese mythology so not only has some historical relevance to the somewhat grounding in reality this game has but a lot of the hunters have lore reasons of travelling to the bayou for various reasons. So for me, personally, the Ronin can make sense as its a fun way to bring in a different style that absolutely fits the theme of Hunt without ruining much (and quite a popular skin considering how many there are these days). With that, we did essentially get ghost face in the reaper hunter skin which I think was a cool way to pay homage to ghost face and it's aesthetic fit perfectly with the world, but then to add ghostface properly is jarring as not only does it bring a pop icon to the bayou but sets a potential progression to more crossover work which could absolutely kill the tone of hunt :)

@@Shadow_of_Gaming it feels shallow almost like the weapon skins are cool but I just really hope they don’t start adding things that feel like they don’t belong like in call of duty. Some of the skins they have right now are really cool and unique. I’ve paid for a bunch of them. Like you said I’m also glad they’re making the contacts possible for collaborations I just think that if they start to put every movie slasher character in the game it might lose the originality it has.
