Halloween is nearing

[Galslacht]

Hi,

Since Halloween is not that far away, any chance for an KF-Update to boost sales when the ambiance is at it's best for this game?

Moreover, KF did not have a much needed update with extra content and balance-fixing in a loooooong time, so I'd guess Halloween would be THE most profitable period of the year to do it (yes, I'm talking to you, Tripwire!).

*Hinthint*

 

[HalfDemon]

Aye.

 

[The Masta]

I think they are currently concentrating on HoS.

So a KF update could take a while.

Another full month, if it's halloween.

I know TWI are concentrating on HOS, and they haven't abandoned KF because they say they're working on it, but it seems as if they have some serious tunnel-vision going on that causes them to ignore KF so they probably will update KF only until HOS is finished.

Or they're just being very secretive. :IS2:

Keep holding the faith brother Gibbz, you just gotta believe

Nah seriously if I'm honest, the fact that various devs occassioanlly chip in to the forum coversations says to me they are looking at what the community wants, and of course Yosh did post that thread a little while back to determine what the community thinks should be altered in the game, so KF is still on the cards.

I'm inclined to follow exactly what TWI says is going on. Looking at the scope of ideas going on is ROHOS, there are some very innovative, very complex ideas going into it. Since its a small team I don't really find it surprising that ROHOS is taking up so much of their time to code, it actually looks like its going to be a good game, which is more than can be said for alot of mainstream titles.

I'm quite happy to wait for the update myself. I've had my KF cake, ate it,and loved every minute of it. Anything I get now is let over cake mix

The update will come, it'll just take time. :IS2:

 

[C_Gibby]

The update will come, it'll just take time. :IS2:

And I'll say: A lot of time.

But it will come before christmas, hopefully.

Lol, imagine if TWI did a gigantic christmas update that came with lots of low-tier weapons or something. >_<

It doesn't take two months to add a weapon and do some variable edits. Something else is at play.

 

[C_Gibby]

I've almost given up. I love kf to death, but two months for a weapon and some simple variable editing is crazy. Do they have like 1 person working 30 minutes a day on kf or something?

That, or it could be a lot more than we're expecting.

But we do know that they look in the KF forums, and they even said that they're working on an update. Nearly 3 months ago..............

RO, RO, RO your boat... :IS2:

this is my conclusion as well.....if you look back at how they tested KF "features" in RO:OST with the Steam achievements update before they released KF that May, i'm kinda expecting the same to happen with the next KF update; instead this time they will use KF to test out the implimentation of some RO2 features in KF. granted we're not talking core gameplay stuff as that would be impossible with the differences between the two game engines, but more like things involving Steam.......i'm interested in the "leaderboards" that RO2 will have so perhaps that might be something they could add to KF to test it.

plus, the maps are going to be polished up community maps, and according to Ramm, when i asked him at PAX about other weapons being added, all he said was along the lines that "there will be one new weapon added and it will be for the firebug". logic would tell you that if they aren't just adding more maps and guns, then chances are there's something big in store.....possibly a new gametype (hopefully competitive)

i have high hopes

 

[C_Gibby]

"there will be one new weapon added and it will be for the firebug".

I hope they lied.

Moar wepunz kty. :IS2:

It's gonna be the Zed Control Device I leaked...

Is Altair still stalking you?

Just remember that the guy in the white hoodie in your kitchen is not your friend and you'll be A-OK

And, on a completely different note, I agree with the idea that there might be something on October 31st.

And on an even more different note, has anyone here heard the new "This is Halloween" by Marilyn Monroe? (and what are your opinions per se?)

Wouldn't be surprising. That's how nearly every developer works. Heck, having been a Blizzard fan pretty much from their start, I've seen them bring all sorts of ideas back and forth between their games. This is especially the case between Warcraft and Starcraft, being that they were of the same genre. The first Starcraft took what they learned from WC2 and built upon that, then Warcraft 3 took advantage of what they learned from Starcraft, and so-on.

It's clearly obvious Killing Floor 2 will be released in late October.

I hope they lied.

i hope so too!!!!! the gunslinger is going to need another handgun!!!!

 

[Nin]

Zeds will have pumpkins for heads.

We'll also have new hats to release to the communi-wait a second this isn't Team Fortress 2.

Yeah, it's called RO2.

I only expect the firebug/balance update by Halloween, maybe with a Steam discount. Appealing to all the pyromaniacs out there to get 'em to buy KF would be nice : P
