Tripwire On Killing Floor 2 PC VS PS4 - PC Version Not To Be Dumbed Down, Gameplay Won't Be Affected

A couple of days ago, Tripwire Interactive revealed that Killing Floor 2 would be also coming to Sony's current-gen console. Naturally, a lot of PC gamers felt betrayed by Tripwire's decision, which is why the company issued an official Q&A, addressing most of PC gamers concerns.

Nice write up!

[vega275]

I hope so. Looking forward to the sequel since I got the first one for cheap on steam during the summer sale.

[LOL_WUT]

Good to see them address the PC crowd i'll be getting it on the PS4 game looks intense! ;)

[SoapShoes]

I had never heard of this game but after the PS experience I'm excited for it now!

Why the hell do PC nerds keep getting there noses out of joint over having to share a game? Get a life, these developers HAVE to develop the game on a pc, so the pc version usually won't suffer..... PC elitists, are a funny breed.

[KingWookiee]

I can tell why you have one bubble but it's not the so much as sharing that's the issue but the fact that developers do not optimize their PC versions because they only focus on the console version. It should go PC optimize then console but they do it the other way around and half ass the port. Then developers like Ubishit will come out and complain about piracy when they release a broken game to begin with.

Ur dumb like ur name.

Will be interested to see how long this game will last on console.

Makes me wonder why people say pc has no games then console
Gamers seem happy to get them.

Because the original Killing Floor was so full of user made content that wound up added by Tripwire that it was truly an amazing game. It had 100's of fantastic user made level, monsters and guns and large amounts of it got added to the full game by Tripwire.

I can see that level of user and mod support going to the wind because the PS4 will not be able to support the user made content.

EDIT @ Eonjay below. Tripwire doesn't set up dedi servers for the PC crowd, the PC crowd sets up the dedi servers. Tripwire simply codes the server support into the game. Sony or Tripwire would need to host the dedi servers for the PS4 version as individual users simply cannot host a dedi server for a PS4 game.

I expect P2P for PS4 version

Will the PS4 have dedicated servers for this or just P2P?

I see KF2's full potential being degraded simply by having a PS4 version that wont and cant support all the user made brilliance that this game has to offer.

"Naturally, a lot of PC gamers felt betrayed by Tripwire’s decision"

LOL What! Chill out guys!

[NuggetsOfGod]

Lol I wonder if ps4 gamers will also get dedicated servers?

If not what are they even paying sony for lol

[Eonjay]

Dedicated servers will be up to the developer. I mean, it would be nice if Sony did that, but think about it, Tripwire is setting up servers for their PC gamers so naturally one would assume they would do it for PS4 as well. Why treat anyone different.

This also speaks volumes about Tripwire because they are treating their customers better than some big publishers like Activision.

So in this case, it comes down to the developer and not the platform.

First game is pretty fun, been playing on and off since the day it came out. Glad to hear PC version won't be affected.

I remember MS made 360 gamers pay for L4D2 DLC that was already free on PC.. and it came many months late. I'm glad there's at least 2 devs left who don't give us the crap end of the stick when it comes to PC/console versions, Valve and Tripwire are my favorite developers now along with MachineGames (new wolfenstein)

[urwifeminder]

Nice I enjoyed the first game have not played in a while but will buy the pc version for the awesome mods no doubt it will be steam works compatible like the last game.

[sashimi]

so ..crossplay pls?

[MicDude]

I don't think that's a good idea.

PC games...erm...most erm...some PC games have features (if the port has been given some effort)that would be disadvantageous for console players, higher framerates, wider field of view, etc. Those are features that the vast majority of PC gamers do not what to give up. It would make playing crossplay fair but it's too big of a sacrifice for PC gamers. So I'm against the idea.

[sashimi]

I thought killing floor was a coop game though. guess i was wrong, i only heard about this game from my friends who've played it

[MicDude]

I haven't played much Killing Floor, but I liked what I did play. I don't care what console the game is brought to as long as the PC version isn't affected ie framerate caps, console level graphical fidelity etc. It probably will though seeing as the PC is more of an afterthought nowadays. Looking at you Ubisoft, Capcom. Hoping for the best though. We shall see
