So according to Steam there is 18 hours left until it is released. I bought my copy of it today since it had a 25% pre-order price discount and that seemed fair to me. I have to say I haven't been following the game too closely but from what I do know it looks like it could be a lot of fun.
Apparently it started off as a total conversion mod for Unreal Tournament 2004 some years ago and has finally been picked up and turned into a full stand alone retail game by Tripwire Interactive who made Red Orchestra. I don't know how many of you have played RO but it's a pretty good game and that gives me hope Killing Floor will feel a bit more than a slightly polished mod.
A few quick details about Killing Floor...
- Both single- & multi-player modes.
- Six player co-op.
- Various weapons such as shotguns, flamethrowers, knives etc. Iron Sights aiming style as well.
- "Perks" that will grant abilities or augment current skills.
- "ZEDtime" which seems to be a form of bullet time that can be used in both offline and online modes.
- Tactical gameplay that can be seen in the form of welding doors or setting up barricades to direct the flow of enemies etc.
- Various enemy types which have different abilities, appearances and in some cases wield weapons.
So has anyone else already pre-ordered this through Steam? Is anyone unsure but interested in doing so? I'm just curious to see what the GiantBomb community thinks about Killing Floor. It seems like a really good game that has flown under most peoples radar. I hadn't heard about it until a week or so ago and I have to say it sounds similar to Left 4 Dead but also better in many respects.
