Andy writes - "Killing Floor will hold a sweet place in my heart for being the perfect LAN party game. Playing with some of my friends late into the morning screaming and running scared from monsters was amazing. Tripwire Interactive seems to love the fans by putting out free seasonal events in Killing Floor. Halloween and Christmas was the two I played and although weird, I had a blast playing them. Tripwire Interactive is now announcing its Summer Sideshow Event which is inspired by the team's memories of summer carnivals and funfairs that they used to love as little kids. I don't think I would like to have those memories of killer clowns wielding a mace or monkeys with chainsaws attached to their hands."
The upcoming Killing Floor 3 takes centre stage in Tripwire Interactive's 15th anniversary celebrations, with new plot details revealed.
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
Enthusiastic developers told us about new Zeds, new mods, new engine, new everything, but showed us very little of the actual game. Our short Gamescom meeting gave us perspective on the upcoming title through many interesting, but very hesitant answers from the developers.
Graphically it looks quite nice. And I believe this is the first time they're using a new engine rather than a previous one.
Gunplay always felt really good with the KF games. My only complaint with this game and similar ones like L4D is that they become too predictable after a bit, so it gets quite boring. If the game doesn't have AI learning then at least give the enemies more methods of attacking players.
VS mode didn't work in KF2 because the game and enemies weren't designed for it from the start, that's what happens when it's tacked on and also takes place in an arena, it just becomes a camping game. Game mode wise I would prefer regular survival mode and one or two others, like a coop campaign and something else, but if they add VS it's gotta be done right from the beginning.
Tripwire can do no wrong, so much free content! Really look after their player-base.
Man, I can only wish for a Killing Floor 2
