Wow, you don't see this that often. Good for them. The series is clearly loved by a lot of people, and what was here did not feel good at all. I mean, I've played Steam indie titles with smaller budgets and teams that felt and played a lot better than what I experienced.

Hopefully they nail it when it actually releases.

Smart move. Though I hope they turn it into a KF1 successor. I think they got the message that players want Killing Floor and not Apex Legends.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Cool, now hire back John Gibson.

I still have 0 faith they can salvage it. This is not the same tripwire.

Are we still in the blaming covid phase

Nah, this is just them completely fucking up and with a completely different team.

This is a great sign. When Devs don't listen, it usually kills them.

 

[DaciaJC]

Fully expected, but I still don't have high hopes for the end product.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Damn more companies should do this too many flops after shitty betas that they just let go. Good on them.

 

[simpatico]

Beta was beyond the worst thing I could have imagined. I have zero faith they will pull it off. Literally not one aspect of the beta was worth saving.

In summary what is lacking from KF2 for someone like me who loved that game?

The gunplay took a downgrade, the animation quality is awful, the setting and aesthetic are futuristic garbage, they made the stupid decision to tie classes to characters (who are cringe), the audio is woeful.

About the only compliment I can give it is the Zed designs are creative, especially the Siren.

Takes away the sim-like gun handling and trades it for CoD or APEX Legend ultra lightweight laser gun feel. Gun sounds are pure trash.

Classes are tied to heroes and the heroes look like Concord rejects. You couldn't mock up a worse change here. It's brutal.

Maps have weird ass lighting. Outdoor metropolitan map has pitch black shadow areas. No environment on earth looks like this.

Fully animated reloads are now cheap gifs you'd find in generic OW2 knockoffs

Zed Time now highlights enemies in solid red, so you can't see any of the gore from your well timed headshots

The devs know absolutely nothing about why people like Killing Floor. I say it a lot, but it's truly over for this one. Just made me go back to KF1 and I realized I'm more than OK with that.
