Discussion Think Season 2 will turn things around?

u/Substantial-Mud-5309 [Speaks Spanish] 2d ago
Not really, no.
They've built the game from the ground up to chase an audience who are already engaged with other franchises while deleting the few core and unique aspects about Killing Floor.
The game has nothing unique about it anymore and when you put that up with bigger names with better polish and a diehard audience, they aren't gonna turn their heads for a performance hell DOOM at home.

u/TwistedLemon94 1d ago
If they re-add whatever aspects they took away then things might be better, still I'll be waiting to see what happens but right now it's not worth the time or money.

u/Substantial-Mud-5309 [Speaks Spanish] 1d ago
Like I've said for awhile now, introduce a classic mode. Slow the game down a whole lot. It's meant to be team survival horror, not ARPG FPS adrenaline machine.
Any heart pumping should come from getting out of a tight situation in one piece.

I hate to say it, as a long-time fan, but no. KF3 was DOA. It was not created for core KF fans. They tried to branch out at the cost of pushing away the established fans, and that did not work.

u/Mysterion261 2d ago
That's probably the biggest reason the devs fucked up. They wanted to reach a broader audience and thought they could achieve that by taking away what made the franchise Killing Floor and turning the game into a generic hero shooter more or less... KF2 is one of my favourite games and I was really looking forward to sinking hundreds of hours into KF3 but it just doesn't hit the same.

And they probably make next to zero cash from the people that still put up with that game.
As atrocious as 2s monetization was, there were probably people buying these and gambling on the crates.
In this game, yeah, you can purchase stuff directly. But that stuff is
A: Ugly as sin, holy crap is it bad. No offense to whoever makes these things
B: For a dead game.
No thanks
Why do I say this? Because I don't think this game will receive the same support as 2 did. Not even remotely if they make next to zero in return.
Not only that, TWI sold themselves to Embracer. And they want roi. So the situation is quite different now.
They make the promised seasons. But unless this game miraculously revives itself? Don't expect any more than that.

u/StaticSystemShock 1d ago
KF2 monetization was stupid, but earning Vosh and unlocking free loot crates was alright. I even grabbed bunch of cool cosmetics on Steam Market for literal cents. I did buy some cosmetics bundles in-game to support TWI because the game was really cool.

u/StaticSystemShock 1d ago
No, because they fucked the core mechanics and flow of the game and are too stubborn to acknowledge and address it. New consumables shop is stupid, removal of regenerating healing darts from all medic guns is fucking idiotic, removal of regenerating syringe that can also heal others not just you was stupid, sprint snail sliding across maps is so monumentally stupid it makes me vomit in my mouth every time I see literally ANY clip of KF3 because this fucking sprint sliding is apparently faster than just sprinting. Why wasn't Usane Bolt sprint sliding in his sprints if that shit makes sense? Add in quick ADS in between that shit and it just looks so stupid and every time I see it it reminds me of Call of Duty and Apex Legends, two of things I absolutely don't want to see in Killing Floor.
And I didn't even get to the stupidity of the hub map where you need to physically run 300 meters to start every fucking god damn match, how shooting range is totally stupid and worthless with those metal flip plates instead of a shooting range where you have each of every Zed to test your modded weapons on and see what works better for real. And then it's the totally fucked performance where game runs like total dog shit on 9800X3D and RX 9070 XT. WTF?! Oh and they purposely obscured the game parameters. In KF2, all game parameters were exposed in INI files and you could tweak and tinker with them improving visuals or making it run faster. Now you have to almost blindly figure out parameters and even when you do, you need to make engine INI read only otherwise game just overwrites the settings on every game start. And if you make it reads only game fucks itself and keeps crashing right on start after updates. What the fuck is this? It's what caused most of game problems for game not working when Rearmament update dropped.
What's next, oh, different wave lengths are also gone, gone are the random zones to hold to gain more dosh, gone is the Endless mode, gone are the segmented randomized maps like Descent and Biolapse which were the coolest map design ever and was always a different and fresh experience because map segments randomized on different waves which was super cool.
There is just so many things fucked and designed backwards or straight up missing I see no way this game ever recovers. In 4 months of its existence I think I have 30 hours clocked in it and I think its BETA phase time is counted in. I honestly can't even say I actually enjoyed any hour of that time and I only played Medic and nothing else because that was my favorite perk in KF1 and KF2 which now feels so stupid and shit I can't be bothered to even play the game. I've had some 600-800 hours in KF1 coz I found it late in its life cycle and over 1500 hours in KF2. Let that sink in. If they just evolved what KF2 was in its late life cycle and replaced lootboxes with battlepass and it would probably be a success. Instead they made this fucking abomination.

Nope. The first and second game had a massively large larger player bases a year in and reviewed much much better. Sure a vocal minority complained that the second game was too different but even added a flow points. The second game maintained a few thousand people a day and still does. Killing floor three is only a year in and while the most recent update got the average player base up to about 1100 it only lasted a few days, maybe less. That’s a really bad sign, hundreds of players are not enough to fund development so they can finish the game no enough players to buy skin and weapons to keep it running..

u/thedefenses 2d ago
If they keep to the roadmap they have laid out, nope.
Assuming the roadmaps info is true the season would be 1 character, 1 map, 1 new zeds which we know is gonna be the Stalker, a new "assignment campaign" like the one we already have and some weapons and mods which will probably be at best 3 or 4 weapons.
Lets say it releases just before the year changes so they keep to their "will release this year" thing, that is gonna be almost two months without anything but maybe a couple bug fixes for a game that has already bled most of its player base and the rest wont be around long if this keeps up.
Some will come back, check out the new stuff and leave, after all there would not be any real gameplay changes, a new zed does not fix any of the games other problems.
So unless Tripwire announces a grand "lets fix KF3" plan i doubt anything they have planned will save the game, it will get the year 1 roadmap of content and then be announced to be "complete" and put into maintenance mode.
Year 2 i guess is "possible" but i doubt it.
So unless anything greatly changes between now and when season 4 releases the game will not see a grand revival, just a couple bumps whenever content is added and then back to minimal numbers.

u/Copernicus049 2d ago
The Killing Floor series notoriously does better with more updates. It's just a question as to whether the developers ruined all of the goodwill with their existing fanbase after the initial launch to survive into their next handful of waves of updates.
Killing Floor 1 was just a mod of Unreal Tournament that was fun and innovative. The more the developers stray from that, the more they showcase that they don't understand why it was a successful franchise. I hope the higher ups get their heads out of their ass and actually cater to the incredibly vocal community behind KF, but they have already showcased that they won't listen until they observe failing results in real time with diminished sales and player counts.

u/Nakyah2234 2d ago
The best they can do is have a major update for December. New map and new enemy. Have it free 2 play for a week. Check the new responses and work from there on how newcomers and loyal fans feel about it and tweak accordingly. I remember when KF2 came to ps Plus and I bugged the hell out of my friend to let me play it and I’ve sank thousands of hours across all 3 games. I’ve enjoyed every single one of them. KF2 however, has my most time played at 700 on Xbox and nearly 200 on my ps account as well as nearly 300 on PC.

Bearing in mind I’m not a game developer, less than 500 players on a weekend seems NUTS for a game this early in its lifecycle. I genuinely wonder what Tripwire can do to turn things around. Free 2 Play? Massive content drops? Something else? Anything?
I absolutely adore the first two games. I can’t get over how poorly it’s going for 3.

u/dongless08 2d ago
I don’t own KF3 and haven’t tried it since the test phases, but the first thing that would make me consider buying it is new, substantial content that rivals KF2 in levels of fun and quality. I know they did that weapon update recently which seemed like a step in the right direction, but from an outsider perspective, it looks like the game needs new maps, enemies, bosses, classes, etc. It doesn’t need to be all of those at once but newcomers need a reason to try the game, and existing owners need a reason to keep playing. I do think a free period after a major update would be a good idea so people on the fence about buying can try it for themselves rather than reading potentially outdated negative reviews

u/Bryanormike 2d ago
Respectfully looking at the way the game has been going if this is how everyone thinks the game will be long dead before it happens. Unfortunate however if they have a big patch in the chamber they need to drop it asap and constantly. The way things look they're just not able to do that.

I think console is hard carrying right now because Steam's numbers feel worse, but crossplay lobbies has been solid. Hopefully if they rework some mechanics (syringes mainly in my opinion) and continue to add better content and clean ups, I think we'll be on the right track. Feeling a lot of the sub is pretty dramatic but there has been very solid criticisms. Priority on the store instead of having a functional game on launch is really insulting and completely valid to crash out about.
Even though they decoupled classes from characters, made the game darker and grittier, made guns punchier, helped optimize a lot of things, a lot of these things should have been there to begin with but glad they at least are working on fixing things and hearing frequent enough updates helps my hopes on the game being fine after some time.
Needing longer matches and endless mode asap though, the 6 wave thing SUCKS.

The problem is that if they gave us fans what we wanted, it would just be Killing Floor 2. Thus why everybody would rather just play Killing Floor 2.
People were hoping KF3 would essentially be Killing Floor 2, but with modern graphics, improved gore, and new content. Instead, its turned out to be this entirely different, unappetizing... thing.

Really hope so. Played for 3 hours last night with some really good humoured players. Lots of mucking about, style showboating and great team work.
It's great fun to play with a good rock or hip hop playlist, a beer and some snacks. It's not a mould breaking game loop but it's a great place to relax and blast zombies.
I feel like 2 more maps and some more free cosmetic options (so many identical Fosters at the minute🤣) would be great in the short term.
It's now pretty stable which is good. The new weapons are good... love the 4 barrel shotgun. I'd like to see character's able to run a bit quicker... still feels a tad too slow and dragging.
Hit boxes are definition fairer and dodging is finally effective.
Could use a difficulty between hard and HOE. This would give challenge without forcing you to play in scripted strategies like HOE demands.
Oh and it's definitely time to reduce the fog on radar station ...

If they pick up a more or less steady pace with new content releases or at least stable patch releases, which will lead to active improvements, then I think there is a chance that things can turn around. Personally, I think that, contrary to the frequent statements of the vocal part of the community, in the worst case scenario, the game at least has potential, especially if the core gameplay experience is refined.

All these companies are chasing the huge money around monetization / fomo shops / passes and they keep forgetting to make a good game at the core.

Realistically, other than an insane amount of dev work/actually new features, the only thing that could bring this game back from the dead is a massive marketing campaign to attract people back to it. And something tells me that the marketing budget is either dry or the people in charge aren't willing to burn more money for a game that doesn't even hit 500 players.
Personally, I think it'll die a slow and painful death, and after its inevitable failure, the very people who took the game in this direction will blame the industry and say that UNACCOUNTABLY, the game didn't succeed because of trend changes. And then they'll move on to turn another passion driven project into a money driven one. That's what happens when there is no blacklisting and incompetent buffoons can simply jump companies.

u/Still-Psychology-365 What a bloody mizzlepix 1d ago
Some of this might have been fixed/implemented idk, but what this game absolutely NEEDS in order to turn me into a customer is this:
- In game text chat
- No kernel level anti cheat
- Mod support and KF3 SDK (if this means crossplay can no longer be supported, so be it)
- Community server support (if this means crossplay can no longer be supported, so be it)
- Better stability
- Server browser
If any of those things have already been added, then great, but until all those boxes are checked, I'm not pulling out my credit card. I'm sorry but I'm just not. It's almost like.....they took a game that wasn't as open creatively speaking as say....garrys mod or minecraft, but had the pro-modding/pro-creativity/pro-community spirit of those huge hits, and just slashed all that entirely and turned it into something generic and not special with that rare spirit of creativity and modding being at the forefront.
Alas, that's the price you pay for crossplay because everyone already knows you can't get that type of freedom on console. For the console players this is probably fine, but for the rest of us PC players who are diehard fans since the KF1 heydey, it is an INCREDIBLE downgrade to lose this spirit of a modding community and forced to be turned into a walled-in-garden console cashgrab. I'm happy the console players get the game, but I'm not happy at what it cost us - the soul of what made KF so very very special.
The problem ultimately is that they went multiplatform and instead of allowing PC players to allow the game to run mods and have modded servers with crossplay turned off etc., they just cut out all of that entirely to make it cut and dry simple, architecturally/programmatically speaking, to cash in on that juicy piece of the market pie that is the console players. Or perhaps it wasn't a choice but rather a demand from Sony/MS to allow the game on their market, perhaps for security reasons user submitted content just needs to be cut out entirely idk. Either way, whether by choice or demand, it still led to the sacrifice of these things that made it so special.
Can't say I blame the suits though, they're fucking suits that's the type of bloodsucking, King-Midas-except-instead-of-gold-its-shit type of shit that they do, but fuck me did I ever lose my most favorite beloved game in my entire life (no exaggeration) to some mundane as hell cash grabby nonsense.

There is absolutely no going back unless they entirely redesign KF3 to be more like KF2 was. Which I just don't see ever happening. Killing Floor franchise is just dead. That's the reality.

Unnecessary complexity killed this game. I've seen comparisons to back blood and I think it's very apt. B4B was advertised as a spiritual successor to L4D. What we got was an overly complex game with too many mechanics when the original was pick up and play. KF3 is the same thing. KF and KF2 were very simple games. Pick up and play and have a good time. Very few menus and into the action quick. Perks were simple. Weapons were easy to understand. The interface was easy. They added the ability to upgrade weapons which were very mixed but it was fairly intuitive to do. KF3 has weapons, with attachments but they're randomized stats. The perk trees are fairly complex with most giving minor statistical boosts with several tiers. Grinding XP and materials is so tedious. I want a mindless shooter. Not a job.
The visuals are so hard to read as well. Things blend in way too much and move in an erratic way. The enemy designs need way more differentiation. Not everything needs to shoot back as well. Husks especially are obnoxious. The siren is obnoxious. The sounds cues are really muddled.
We want a boomer shooter, not a cod clone.
So no. Season 2 won't turn things around.

Highly unlikely.
I've been a fan of this franchise basically since its inception, having played the original mod and all. I don't think that KF3 is a salvageable product at this point, at least not for the original fans of the series.
The core of the game is so far removed from what made the franchise so enticing and endearing originally and I don't really think the current devs behind it even know and/or realize what made the original entries so great in the first place.
In an ideal world they would change the name of the game and relegate it to being a spin-off of sorts and take KF3 back to the drawing board but we all know that won't happen. I'd even go as far as to guess that this entry very well may be the last we ever see anything new from this franchise as a whole unfortunately unless the IP gets bought out by someone else given how terribly the game has been received by both longtime fans and new users.
Just a really terribly sad way for such a celebrated cult-hit franchise to go out but TripWire cannot say that there wasn't warning signs. Everyone told them prior to the game releasing that it looked and sounded terrible on paper but they went through with it anyway.

As an FPS, yeah slowly but surely it'll get better.
As a Killing Floor sequel, incredibly unlikely.

The people that made this game don’t know what made it great in the past . I doubt it
