Split Screen! Woohoo!

[Broski270]

Well guys from the looks of it, Killing Floor 2 will have splitscreen. However I didn't see anything about controller support but I'm assuming that will be integrated into the game sibce there is splitscreen. I'm pretty stoked if this is true.

local network?

Local coop means being able to host and play on a LAN. Jesus, you guys... This is not a console.

KF1 doesn't have that tag, not to mention having LAN is pretty much guaranteed if you have online multiplayer.

I think there's still a chance OP is right, although it is vague.

 

[nejcooo]

I'm not very excited about that because sometimes devs use it for LAN. I don't see how split screen could work, I don't even see how this game could be played with gamepads unless you're a medic.

 

[Makino]

With SteamOS and big picture, i think there's a chance for split screen coop

 

[Broski270]

Local coop does not necessarily mean LAN. A lot of games ssupport LAN and yet they do not hold the local coop tag. Local coop usually means splitscreen and its very likely considering splitscreen support is built right into unreal engine 3. KF Calamity had split screen and was boasted about hy Tripwire about "laughing in your friends face after they get mauled by a fleshpound." KF would be the perfect split screen game and i think Tripwire realized that with Calamity. Plus keep in mind, this game is being built to support SteamOS, meaning Steamboxes can run the game. The only thing that concerns me is the controller support. They need to provide controller support at least for the most common controllers. I don't want to have to buy a Steam controller to play this on my TV.

Yes please. I want to be able to spit-screen with me on kbam and someone else with one of my 360 gamepads. Add aim-assist, I don't care as long as it works properly.

Aim assist is really not that necessary. That would give controller users an advantage over kbm users. I guess it all depends on how skilled one is with the controller. I rarely use aim assist with controllers.

 

[Chimpster]

No aim assist. If you want to use a controller, you either adapt or go back to mouse and keyboard. Aim assist is a terrible idea in a PC game.

 

[Arblarg]

Add aim-assist

Or git gud.

 

[Broski270]

Agreed. I play kf1 without aim assist and I do perfectly fine with my Xbox controller. Aim assist is not needed in kf

 

[koschi]

this would be realy awesome!

i dont see how you could play with gamepads on higher diffs. You cant aim for head as fast as with mouse. no way.

I do perfectly fine on 6-player hell on earth. If you configure xpadder properly you can be just as good as a kbm user. I also have mine set to be very sensitive when not aiming and more precise with sensitivity when aiming via xpadder. I can even use the command menu with the back button and the Dpad. If you are good with it, a controller is just as good as kbm. I even play ut2004 with a controller and do just as well. Its all about how well you configure it

I wonder how much Valve's controller will actually help boost controller aiming accuracy? I guess it would just be a matter of becoming more acclimated over time, but I wonder if it will really be that much better than analog sticks.

I honestly don't think it will make a difference.

In this case we mean "LAN co-op" as well as standard. Sorry, not planning on split-screen.

Damn. Well you should have the tags changed. KF1 had LAN support but didn't have the Local Coop tag so this can cause some serious confusion like it did to me. Generally local coop usually means split screen. Can you guys verify controller support though?

 

[Curunir]

Can you guys verify controller support though?

It was announced / unveiled as a title for SteamOS. Make a guess, will it have proper controller support or not? Think hard before you guess!
