Does anybody like the new Scrake design?
- Thread starter moleculo
- Start date
I think it is the fact that they changed his apron from a grey-blue to brown. He doesn't stand out as much.
Example here is one picture.

And here is a crappy edit I did.

I can't grasp the shape of his face and mask. In this photo

it looks like it covers just the mouth area, while in this one

it seems a full face protection mask, hockey style.
It's confusing me.

You can probably shoot it off.

Honestly, I thought that those pictures where from Borderlands to begin with. Not sold on the new Scrake design yet, but we'll see how he goes in game I guess.

it's true that the graphics on that map do look quite cartoony and what's with the aurora borealis? not exactly killing floor.
and the scrake is quite cartoony. i think it is abit more original than the kf1 scrake but the kf1 scrake was very horror themed. kf1 scrake may have been unbelievable but atleast it was dark. kf2 scrake is unbelievable and not very dark.
main problem for me is the absolutley ridiculous looking player characters.
i just want to see camoflauge, blue, helmets and gas masks.
edit: instead of a apron i think a torn white sheet would look good over the scrake. sort of like a plain white hospital gown but torn and covered with dirt and blood. more like kf1 scrake but without the trousers and with the ballistic mask instead of surgeon mask.

I think in the second pic you posted the mask has been shot off! Or at least part of it.

Scrake looks s#1it in those photos.
It has lost its ethos.
Before it looked like the Chainsaw was an after thought, in the same way the story of the zeds go, he was designed to be a surgeon for battle use, but was bonkers, so he had a mask put on him to protect the makers.
Then Kevin Clamely attached a chain saw and left the mask, making him look restricted from biting, but then had a massive chainsaw attached, which made him kind of creepy, in a 2 minded way.
All the other zeds attack on site, pretty much.
But the scrake always had that sense that he was slowly coming to you with the intention to help (the mask hid something, and the chainsaw was the only thing that said stay away) and then he was going to go ballistic if it got to close, in a mind rage of what was done to him, to make him that way.
With the new teethy mask, it is like it is set to always attack. yet before it was more about keeping away and everything would be right.
His internal anger & destruction was something that was always a side product of the gentic manipulation, rather than the underlying purpose like most of the rest.
Scrakes purpose was to heal, unfortunately, he is also very confused...he thinks blood is to heal.
Then again, i really like the pirouette the new one does!

I thought about that, it could be, although I'm not fully convinced. I guess we'll know the truth when we'll have the game in our hands.

green = face mask
red = some brown strap covering top-side of face mask or a blood mark
yellow = possible continuation of blood mark
blue = skull, back of it destroyed from player damage or scrake just has back of his skull gone
that's what i see

Is "uncontrolled laughter" a common thought process for you? My bro, I have the same issue. Some low-does antipsychotics will fix that right up.

No, I do not like his current design.
He looks kinda like the blind psycho freak from Resident Evil 4 mixed with Doom 3 styled mobs. Not creepy, just flicked with parts together, which cannot be recognized.
I would prefer the Scrake to remain his mask (metal is OK) but his body must be visibly durable without heavy armor. Variating blood paint on his body would be awesome too.

I found the man-shaped Skrake more intimidating, at least in live action. And I agree....that mask does look just plain strange. I'm withholding judgment until I can play the game, but I think someone should start working on an alternate mask design...

Now all the Scrake needs is a BOOMSTICK.
"It's a twelve-gauge, double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt-blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right... shop smart: shop S-Mart... You got that?"
