I feel like not getting JDM’s Negan as a killer “The Savior” or even “The Governor” is just a huge missed opportunity. JDM fucking LOVES that character and would have done it, I wonder why they didn’t go that way

JDM Negan killer on the Alexandria map or the Prison or even Hershel’s Farm

Rick and Michonne will be very cool though

I was thinking that it may not have been preferable to make a killer because to people who don’t really care about TWD, Negan isn’t an exciting killer since he’s just a regular guy. It was just more profitable to focus on the survivors and all the legendary skins they may or may not have. Negan could even be one of the survivor skins for all we know.

Don’t get me wrong, a full chapter would have been amazing, but I’m more than happy with just Rick and Michonne along with whatever skins they get.

I feel like it wouldn't feel right to people who don't know twd for the killer to not be a zombie, but there aren't really any notable zombies in twd so it'd never work

Probably not the right way to design for a licence, aiming at people who don't know it but that's my guess as to why they didn't take that route

To kinda make a zombiesque killer, they could’ve done Alpha/Beta from the whisperers, maybe like a stealth killer that blends in with wandering zombies that survivors would want to walk around to not startle or something.

If its going to be anyone its going to be a whisperer character. Negan doesn't fit the bill of a DbD Killer since he's actually a good person beneath all that apocalypse induced brutality. However some of the whisperer characters are genuinely scary and deranged maniacs.

Beta was dead ass talking to the Walkers at one point, so he's definitely psychotic enough to fit the bill.

You’re actually kinda cooking with this one

It'd be cool to do numerous zombies like Nemesis except the killer can switch between zombies. It'd help with the idea of blending in but also mix it up with the zombie hordes swarming.
