http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPrOpDABcq4 Quote:Over the Top Zed Killing Action Returns as Tripware Interactive Announces Killing Floor 2 for the PC
Tripwire Interactive is pleased to announce that Killing Floor 2, the follow-up to 2009′s multi-million unit selling Sci-Fi Horror, First Person Shooter game Killing Floor, is currently in development for PC and SteamOS. After months of speculation and rumors around Killing Floor 2, the good folks at Tripwire are thrilled to treatfans to an in-depth first look at the moment to moment combat experience that awaits them in the next phase of the “Horzine Outbreak” at the game’s official website, killingfloor2.com.
“We’ve all had a huge amount of fun over the last 5 years with Killing Floor. The community has done so much with it, we’ve done so much to it, run so many special events – and we’ve learned so much,” said Alan Wilson, Vice President of Tripwire Interactive. “Now we’re taking all of that – and cranking it to 11 for Killing Floor 2. It’s a lot of work, but it will be a blast!”
In Killing Floor 2 players descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech’s failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum, essentially paralyzing the European Union— Just one month after the events in the original Killing Floor, the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray; communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces have been systematically eradicated. The people of Europe know survival and self-preservation too well and lucky survivors have gone into hiding.
Not all have given up hope though… A group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate them.
Key Features
•
Visceral Gore– Killing Floor 2 ramps up the gore with a proprietary, high powered persistent blood system bringing new levels of fidelity to the genre. Players will send entrails, severed limbs, and blood flying as they wade through hordes of enemies. But they need to watch out! If caught, enemies will rip them, and their entire party limb from limb •
6 player co-op or solo play– A multitude of varied playable characters await for players to choose from as they enter the fray in online co-op mode or solo mode for those willing to brave the horrific specimens alone •
Terrifying Zeds– New enemies and fan favorites from the original game are back with expanded and smarter artificial intelligence, dishing out powerful attacks, working as a group to weaken the player’s party and pushing the challenge level and fear factor to new levels •
Unique Blend Of Weaponry– From modern militaristic assault rifles, brutal improvised makeshift weapons, classic historical guns, and off the wall “Mad Scientist” weapons, Killing Floor 2 has a unique blend of killing tools that will satisfy any gamer •
Expanded Perk System– Perks from the original game have been reimagined with more added to the fold. All perks now progress with meaningful talent choices that amplify different play styles, •
Brutal Melee Combat– Killing Floor 2 reinvents melee combat completely. Players now have control over the type of melee attacks they can perform, enabling them to deliver bone-breaking crippling attacks to Zeds Killing Floor 2 is developed and published by Tripwire Interactive for the PC and SteamOS.
EDIT: And even more!
How Tripwire Aims to Design Gaming’s Most Realistic GunsQuote:“Using the Bullpup as an example, we animated at 242 frames per second, which gives us 22 frames per shell that ejects out of the weapons,” Munk tells me. “The weapon shoots at 660 rounds per minute, which equals 11 rounds per second. In slow-mo you can actually see every kickback. In realtime you can’t see these details but it makes the guns feel more powerful. We’ve come up with a formula to calculate: we have a weapon, this is its rate of fire—how many frames to do want to have per actual kickback, to make sure the fidelity of it is absolutely perfect? To my knowledge, no game is doing something like that, or would even think it would be worth doing something like that.”
Quote:Gibson gets even more excited about KF2’s new gun technology when he talks about weapon accuracy and recoil. Most games, he explains, represent accuracy with a bullet spread. Less accurate guns will have a wider spread on their bullets, so planting your crosshair dead center on a target doesn’t guarantee a hit. “We wanted to actually have the gun physically move instead of having some magic number that you tweak that makes the bullets go in random directions. The gun’s accurate; if you can manage to keep your sights on an enemy, you will hit it. The crosshair’s just moving around, but wherever that crosshair is, that’s where the bullet’s actually going.”
Quote:There’s a noticeable difference in speed between the regular reloads and elite reloads with rifles like the Bullpup, which will be a lifesaver in tough Killing Floor 2 matches. Munk promises that other weapons will have reloads that are as ridiculous and badass as they are useful.
Quote:Weapons are also being balanced more carefully. Each perk has four primary weapons, ranked weakest to strongest, and no future DLC weapons will change that tier system. The most powerful assault rifle will stay the most powerful assault rifle, but “sidegrades” will offer more options—higher rate of fire but lower damage, higher stun or knockback against the Zeds. Damage values aren’t rigorously beholden to the real-world weapons.
Quote:With four weapon tiers spread across a planned 10 perks, plus backups like pistols and melee weapons, balancing Killing Floor 2’s entire arsenal will be a big job. So far, Tripwire isn’t talking about most of the game’s arsenal. The SCAR 17, AK-12, Bullpup, and 9mm AR-15 are Commando weapons already implemented in the game. The Mossberg 500 shotgun will also make an appearance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No5dJ7OUlVM Venturebeat speaksQuote:Some gentle probing of Gibson and vice president Alan Wilson revealed that the game’s release cycle will begin with a tour on Steam’s Early Access program “when the game is ready.”
Quote:The end result looked fantastic during the demo. Munk painted the walls and ceiling of the newly-envisioned Biotics Lab (a fan favorite in Killing Floor) map with the blood and body parts of genetically-modified freaks known as Zeds. We only got to see the assault rifles and shotguns, but they looked smooth and realistic.
The blades section was the least polished of Killing Floor’s “big three.”
“Our hope was that players would be willing to play Killing Floor 2 even if there were no guns,” Munk said during the presentation.
He went on to show off the Katana weapon, but some of the animations were a bit off. Occasionally, there would be a slight delay from when the sword hit and when the body parts of the creatures were sliced off. Some of the wrong body parts were also flying off; a downward slice to the shoulder sometimes decapitated the Zed.
This was just an early-Alpha build of the game, so it is entirely possible that these small inconsistencies will get ironed out in the months leading to the release of Killing Floor 2.
" /> Quote:Basically, Tripwire covered every part of every map in blood from the beginning. The colors that make up the floors, ceilings, etc. are all animated on top of the blood. The Zed’s gushing corpse is simply peeling back a layer of animation to expose the bloody core of the level.
“To my knowledge, this is the only game that has ever done this,” art director David Hensley said. “We wanted to do it in a way that caused no memory lag or frames-per-second issues, and we succeeded.”
Quote:One Zed was killed by a grenade, which sent him flying towards the demo’s player (controlled by Munk). The player then used the AA-12 automatic shotgun to blast the creature into five or six pieces.
“We call this Zed juggling,” Gibson said.
" /> Quote:Tripwire hasn’t released any gameplay footage of KF2 quite yet, so you’ll have to rely on my words to describe the moment-to-moment carnage I witnessed. I saw a few waves of KF2 played live, through which it was apparent that the basic rhythm of KF isn’t fundamentally changing: you backpedal, you kite ugly enemies, and you thin the hordes of genetic freaks as efficiently as you can. What was new was the way that KF2’s fidelity stimulated new moments and decisions.
Grenades, for example, now release a few chunks of shrapnel that ricochet, and these fragments can bite into KF2’s new dynamic lights and breakable objects. A thrown grenade is still an effective band-aid for the horde of Clots coming your way, but the explosion might also kill the only light sources in a hallway or a basement. I like the idea of having to make that snap cost-benefit analysis about how a single frag grenade could make a piece of the level more dangerous by darkening it; it’s something that didn’t exist on the ancient Unreal tech of Killing Floor the first.
" /> Quote:Most significant, though, are the changes made to melee. Tripwire only had a katana to show (and mentioned a sledgehammer), but rather than the sword operating as a one-dimensional weapon, there’s a surprising amount of nuance. Left mouse is light attack, and right mouse is heavy, but more importantly the direction you’re moving at the time you attack on WASD dictates the motion of your attack. The katana’s heavy, horizontal slash is one of the most impressive real-time animations I’ve seen in a game: I watched the sword effortlessly tear the entire upper body off a Clot, sending it across the room while the legs stood frozen in place. You can also hold block (to reduce, but not fully eliminate melee damage) or try to time a block perfectly against an oncoming melee attack to briefly stagger that enemy. Already I’m imagining a front-line melee player, who’s mastered the technique, stopping a Fleshpound (which Tripwire said will be blockable) in its tracks so his teammates can get in some easy shots.
