Luftwaffles Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Shoot dudes. World War II. Developer: Tripwire (Killing Floor) Release Date: September 13th Price: $35 Anyone planning on getting this/interested? Never played the RO series, but seems as good a time as any to jump on the bandwagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Looks better than MW3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Looks better than MW3. It's a lot cheaper than BF3 and MW3 which is definitely enough for me to be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Have you been following this much? It had a lot of early and mid dev coverage so I remember seeing plenty of the game months and months ago and I was always really impressed. I remember it having a lot of features that will slow down the pace of the game instead of making it a frantic twitch fest. It all seemed very well done. Since then though I can't really remember any proper write-ups on the game. It'd be worth looking into. I think what i saw was from Game Informer mag scans.

Luftwaffles Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 What I've seen of it is the TotalBiscuit videos with the Tripwire devs (who were also the voices of the Killing Floor characters) and that was certainly interesting. It didn't show the large 64 player battles, but did show the cover system, damage modeling, graphics, and movement speed which was neat. I'm not 100% sure I'll preorder, but it does look like a game I'll probably be picking up before the next steam sales for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Didn't realize this had a thread. With the Green Man Gaming sale and the great looking gameplay videos, I went ahead and pre-ordered a copy. I needed a first-person shooter fix, anyway. And there isn't another such game forthcoming to fill that void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDex Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I have a strange feeling that this game will end up being the FPS game to play on PC later in the year. It's been a while since I've seen gameplay that looks so solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harri Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I don't know. I mean, I love world war 2 shooters, and I love the russian theatre in games, but I really don't like realistic shooters where I have to move slowly and have long respawn times for someone I didn't see snipe me/I ran from cover and got shot by a guy in a corner. I know you're supposed to use teamwork, but what's the point on pubservers where it's a pain in the ass for people to move together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well, preordered the deluxe edition, which includes beta access. I'll post my thoughts when it downloads and when I play it a little, but I think this is going to be a Deus Ex filled weekend rather than a RO weekend, honestly.

Luftwaffles Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Played some of the beta today in some pub servers. Got oneshotted from areas on the map I didn't even know existed a lot as well. I don't regret a preorder at all, though. The mechanics are rock solid and the guns all have a nice kick to them. This is just one of those games I'll need to get better at, but I think the presentation and mechanics are good enough so I won't have an issue with that. The voice acting is great so far, and it's actually really cinematic in parts. Also, the screenshots don't do the graphics justice. They're beautiful in a really dark, WWII shooter type of way.

Keywork Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Been playing it, im absolutely in love with the game. Hit me up on steam if you wanna play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'll probably play a little bit tomorrow night but I'm stuck downloading it for most of tonight. Were you in the beta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDex Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) What's the build quality of the game like right now? It looks like a game I could really sink my teeth into but I've heard mention that it has its fair share of bugs at the moment.

Luftwaffles Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I've noticed a few bugs, but they've mostly been crash to desktop menu and UI bugs, and less bugs in the actual gameplay. Stat tracking is a little dicked up, but there is definitely a game there beneath some of the bugs. I've heard them referred to as "Tripwire Quirks" and that made a lot of sense to me.

Keywork Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Sometimes you get random unnecessary FPS drops and lag but so far it aint too bad. Its really a matter of learning the maps. You will suck for a while but once you figure out the ins and outs of the maps and the bullet drop system your set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I've encountered several instances of my CPU jumping to 100% load for no friggin' reason. Also, the FPS drops. I'm running on a Phenom II X4 3.2ghz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I got my copy today. My opinion, based on six hours, so far: HOLY crap, this is GOOD. It feels like if the CoD2 campaign was a multiplayer shooter. But better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
