Killing Floor Comments by Will Porter

ive had this game a few weeks, its great fun even if it has no polish at all

Cockneys v Zombies?

Come on Zombies!!!

GO FOR SHANE RITCHIE, YOU UNDEAD FU*KS!!

Shaun of the Dead: The Game?

Shotgun44, you forgot Jamie Oliver.

KILL THE SH*T OUT OF HIM!

I fackin' 'ate zombies!

I hate HP beans though :(

Being holding off buying this, hoping for a free weekend. In all the videos I watched, the voice acting is horrible. Please tell me you can turn it off?

Tesco value tuna is quite good, so maybe the baked beans are worth a try?

Single page review!

Jamie Olivers no bloody cockney. He just thinks he is.....

Thought this game was terrible. It's a game where you basically kill dumb AI bots for 20 mins at a time. You get most of the weapons you want after 2 waves, and there's no storyline or progression to it.

I'm disappointed I bought this game. If you're thinking about buying this over L4D, don't.

@viper_h: to be honest, your description fits L4D nicely. and in what difficulty did you play this game?

@Salaminizer, I agree 100%, the description Viper_H gives sounds like L4D... I think L4D is ok, but it doesnt have much depth either.

"Thought this game was terrible. It's a game where you basically kill dumb AI bots for 20 mins at a time. You get most of the weapons you want after 2 waves, and there's no storyline or progression to it."

Is it possible to miss the point of a game any more than this post ? It's a bit like saying "I got the latest FIFA and don't rate it due to the lack of any FPS action".

If you want a hardcore multiplayer only FPS, with a team of you fighting off hundreds of bitch hard zombies, and having to work as a team to do so get this.

If you want polish / tons of wonderful DX10 graphics / an immersive single player story, or a football game, then go somewhere else.

Brilliant game imo, enjoying more than L4D.

Wow... this actually sounds a lot more appealing than L4D, at least to me.

Man, Left 4 Dead got annoying really quick. I have a suspicion this would be more enjoyable.

All the movies I have just watched of this haven't really sold me over L4D. It looked a bit too rough around the edges.

L4D kept surprising me with the clever little things it does, and if the AI and pacing of this aren't up to par I'm not sure why you would choose this over L4D.

I'm afraid it just had a very "find zombies, then walk backwards shooting" feel about it.

I guess opinion is going to be split reading the other posts on here. I thought L4D was one of the best games I'd played in years, so I'm obviously going to be a hard person to sell on this one :)

I quite like it. You get what you pay for.

Some things, that the review does not mention:
You can customize waves, also their number. After you have completed all waves you have to fight the boss. That's a stupid looking zombie scientist with glasses, a tentacle in his chest, a minigun, a rocket launcher, a sniper rifle and three medkits. Plus he can turn himself invisible.

Even on "normal" he is hard to defeat. On "easy" it's too easy. From the roughly 10 times I faced the boss on normal my squad always got wiped out.

My perks are mostly at lvl 2. Leveling up Perks takes really long after the second level. The most used perk is support (most powerful perk, imo).

I have all my perks at level 2, and level 3 seems a long way away for all of them. So far I've only beaten the Patriarch once on Normal with length set to long. Twas very satisfying.

I was playing with someone who had bothered to bind the "Insult specimen" key to something easy to press, (I don't think it's bound to anything by default) and some of the insults were pretty good. One compared the zombies to Millwall fans.

"with glasses, a tentacle in his chest, a minigun, a rocket launcher, a sniper rifle and three medkits. Plus he can turn himself invisible."

Christ, all he is missing is a laser gun for an arse!

sounds interesting. I might give it a try if i had a PC. I have L4D for the 360 and its nice but i always wanna kill more zombies! Any idea if an Arcade or budget 360 release is on the cards for this?

It's a game where you basically kill dumb AI bots...

They're zombies for fuck's sake.

"It's a game where you basically kill dumb AI bots...

Lol, nice one.

Branston beans ftw.

Direct comparisons with L4D are a little unfair, but then I'd say the opposite if I didn't like it. Probably more own brand tuna, as opposed to value/economy tuna.
My only slight niggle would be Mr Patriarch and his camera stealing antics.

Have to say I'm liking the idea of this a lot more than L4D and its cheaper! L4D becomes very tedious very quickly with the exception of versus mode and thats pretty flawed. At least this sounds like its got a bit of variety and frankly I don't care much about presentation, still playing Return to castle wolfenstein (online) because its a fun game, not because it looks pretty. Defo like the idea of buying the guns and perks rather than the same 4 weapons every time...

"... like blocking the gun-shop doorway, for petulant 12-year-olds to annoy their fellow gamers with... "

FF off then? :)

The one sure fire solution for blockers and griefers in these games is a shotty to the back of the skull, wait for them to respawn and repeat until they leave.

I've been enjoying this more than L4D.

I am absolutely fackin' luvin' this game!

Buy it!

PS - Review didn't mention you can weld doors closed to stem the zombie onslaught! :)

I have not had such buyers remorse for many a long year until picking this POS up.

Seriously, L4D is light years ahead of this 'game'

See, where KF goes wrong isn't necessarily in the feature list.

Guns? Check
Bigger guns? Check
Zombies (Specimens)? Check
Special Specimens? Check
Waves to overcome? Check
Multiplayer? Check

A big part of KF is a feature for feature match against L4D. Except its missing one huge thing. Delivery.

The presentation is dire and merely functional, at best.

Specimen attacks are largely poorly animated, with little in the way of atmosphere. In L4D, you have hordes of zombies smashing through doors, climbing onto the roof, smashing through the roof, etc, etc. In KF its just the same, wooden, characterless wave of specimens over and over again. When theres no equiv of the Director AI, the fights just become incredibly predicable.

KF environments are bland, lacking tactile sensation, but I guess that's where the Source engine really comes into its own with many objects in the L4D levels being available to manipulate, even though there's no specific reason to do so.

Atmosphere in KF is also lacking. Firefights in L4D can quickly turn into claustrophobic, smokey/hazy, balls-to-the-walls affairs, with flashlights casting shadows everywhere. Firefights in KF just dont have the same level of graphical fidelity which, after playing L4D at the highest levels of graphics settings, makes it look distinctly crap.

7/10 is way too generous. More like 4 or, at a push, 5.

wouldn't expect much from an ut mod. The real difference between both kf and l4d is that KF actually lasted a whole week before wearing off. A little more diversity and variety would deliver, unlike l4d which has pretty much nothing else to give.
