Great vid, good feedback and angles of criticism. You KNOW illFonic will do balance and additions post launch for the game once player there heads on it.
It doesn't feel competitive now because the super-sweats haven't gotten their hands on it. Once it comes out it's gonna be a whole different ball game.
Yeah i don't get how that can be a comment, people always find a way, casual is next to impossible unless you get lucky or the game is built so there is literally no way to sweat
That may very well happen, but the learning curve for this came seems way more causal than TCM. TCM is not a game you can just jump into as new player and not struggle for a while. You have to learn what builds fit your play style, amongst other things to be an effective TCM player. That said, there were sweats in F13 too, but because the leaning curve for the game was fairly easy, it wasn’t that bad.
I can nearly guarantee that this game will become competitive. Because either side will really want to complete their objective: Klowns getting all humans, and Humans escaping. when its a team vs team nature with different objectives, its going to become competitive with players getting better and better as they learn the game more, becoming better than the average player. Causing the other side to keep enhancing their skills competitively to keep up. It doesn't feel good to feel like you were stomped on because they other team is way better, so you find yourself trying harder to avoid it feeling like you were "destined to lose". In my opinion, the sooner this fact is addressed, the better the health will be for the game when it comes out. And in my opinion, if you want the game to be more of a party style everyone needs to have the same objective where its everyone vs everyone. I don't believe this format (asymmetrical pvp with power roles vs more vulnerable roles) will ever work as a simple party game. We've seen it time and time again with these types of games (Dead by daylight, Texas Chainsaw massacre, Evolve, Friday the 13th) They start out as "party games" and eventually evolve into something more competitive. Because people like completing their objective, in their eyes completing their objective successfully is "winning". In my opinion, if you want a game to be a "party game" you need to follow a format more like "Mario party". Have no stats, perks, cards, powers, differences, etc. Everyone needs to be equal with every character essentially just being "a skin" for the player. All powers and abilities need to be obtained in the match so its more random, so we dont run into "meta builds" we run into an "ahh, youre so lucky you got that!" kind of mindset. Everyone also needs to have a similar goal, so it feels like "were on the same team, could work together if we want, but only one can be number one" with arbitrary effects altering the course of the match. And everyone needs to be able to talk to each other in the match, not just "their team". When listing these, i dont think it describes Killer Klowns From Outer Space The Game at all. Which mostly likely means its more likely to either be a competitive game at launch, or will evolve into a competitive format soon after. The only way I see it becoming a party style game, is if they add party style game modes separate from the main game. But this is all just an opinion and conjecture gathered from previous games ive played that were intended to be party style. I am more than happy to be proven wrong though, but for now my expectations are a competitive game format. Thats not to say I wont try to play casually, just I expect the game to change within time, probably after a month. Its nice to hear about your experience and thoughts Slash 'N Cast, and I Hope you feel well soon Nick.
@@SlashNCast I doubt it will be an issue. Rushing cocoons just means playing the game right I doubt there are 16 npc cocoons in the map. Your gonna HAVE to kill humans at some point. I don't
People have said that tcm only survived because of xbox game pass. That's true for me and all my friends that play it. It was our first game like this. With this one being 40 usd we probably won't buy it. I feel most of the tcm xbox gamepass people won't buy it and haven't heard of it.
I am very impressed i was nervous it was gonna be lackluster for humans but it looks so unique im excited. And when a game is pvp and not pve there will always be players wanting to use the best things and there will be a meta wether you like it or not.
We'll realistically get about a week or two after launch before "the meta" gets established and it becomes folks' mission to sap as much fun from the game as possible, but I'm still hoping that the goofy vibe mellows people out a little. (I don't care if people play sweaty, to be clear, I just mean the toxicity and endless dev harassment that asyms attract)
@@Rj-pw7zs Nah clearly they're super villains who wake up extra early to have extra time to ruin this guys gaming experience. I don't understand why people demonize others for wanting to play at a high level, that's fun to some people, gatekeeping the game and calling those players out is lame.
@@dontreadmyprofilepicture8817 tbf alot of those people can be pretty toxic so I think the stigma is understandable. Sadly people love to generalize so the competitive people tend to get lumped with the toxic ones.
@@Rj-pw7zs I run into more chill competitive “sweats” then I run into BM’ing dirt bags. To lump everyone into one category because you were skill gapped is sad.
Why didn't they restrict the amount of humans that can escape with the ice cream truck like every other eacape option. I really liked the fact that humans can't just all push one objective and escape.
It is a little odd, but it’s hard to judge until we see how effective it is once released. It’s quite possible that it’s rare for that many humans to remain alive before the truck shows up.
@@SlashNCast Fair point. Time will tell but the hypothetical scenario you put forth with six players getting respawned and getting out due to the ice cream truck from a Klown perspective is a gut punch of salt not gonna lie.
You said it yourself. 7 players who know the ins and outs of the game...Exploits...animation cancels...whatever other things players discover over time...will in fact make the game less fun for Klowns. Klowns will only be fun for the first few weeks after launch. Once people learn the game, the fun factor will become less and less for both sides...but especially Klown because they will need to be perfect.
And I think this is why TCM and Klowns will keep different player bases. No chance the people who play TCM or DBD are gonna be chill with resurrections or ice cream trucks 😭😭
@@SlashNCast oh for sure!! But I can already see the sweaties writing their tweets 😭 someone already made a video about the “red flags” of Klowns so it’s already starting. I learned my lesson this time though, no Reddit!
I PLAY TCM, it’s dog shit still better than Dbd 😂😂 Killer Klowns will be amazing, DBD is an old trash ass game. Least in KK, you can do more than just repair and generator. 😂😂
I'm glad this captures a little bit of the vibe of VHS, such a shame that game didn't pan out. One question I have is, if the game has AI, does that mean bots will replace players that DC or lobby dodge?
I agree with the comments that those first couple weeks of tcm felt really casual and a lot of fun but then people taking it seriously as competitive took over. So I see that happening here too, that’s why I want to play before it gets to that point. Hopefully proven wrong
You two are the only reviews I’ll trust. I was a massive fan of f13 when it came out and watched u guys up to release and this is the same dev team so great review yet again
Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it. Been following the game ever since I signed up for a beta test years ago that ended up never happening. Good to be getting a bit more info now. Hopefully the community ends up being pretty chill, looking forward to a break from the toxicity of certain other game communities in the genre.
I hate DbD being Killed sided when you need 4 Survivors to make 1 match it literally makes zero sense. Friday the 13th was casual some people could sweat but being on point with shift Jason could be a wrecking machine. The Killer Klowns game looks and feels good I would like custom keybinds for mouse and keyboard rather than the default ones they have.
I use to love Texas Chainsaw Massacre game after took few month break I couldn't handle what people did to the game to now a stressful game and I hope it will be like Friday The 13th game fun and not stressful I'm streaming it as soon as I get it and I got deluxe version
Excited for this game! Definitely seems like a lot of casual fun! However I never understood people saying “looks like a ps2 game”, it just makes me think “so it looks artistically awesome?”
Tbh MANY people have not seen the movie to Killer Klowns. Heck many haven't watched TCM. I already know this game will draw in sheep and trolls but the true fans of the genre etc i pray will overtake the negative and fake fans this time around
It’s too goofy for me, I prefer the more horror aspect, so I won’t be purchasing the game. But I’ll def be checking out gameplay & I’m happy for all those that are excited to play.
It's literally the movie so you don't like the movie. This is based off that and it's literally copying it to almost a T. One of my favorite cult movies of the 80s
Good stuff, glad to see a take on this game from a perspective that has played DBD long enough to remember the keys for hatch and the hatch spawning before 1 person remained lol - I think like anything else with live service games it will live or die by how responsive the devs are for balance changes, communicating road maps and adding content. I'm very much looking forward to this, you mentioned predator proving grounds but illfonic also did the Ghostbusters Asym and I really enjoyed that from both sides, another asym game that isnt meant to be competitive.
It's human nature to be competitive so any PvP setting will have that. As much as most dislike a comp mindset, it's also wrong to demonise those who enjoy that. It's up to the Devs to make sure this is balanced to allow fun at all levels, then there would be no us Vs them between casual and comp. I've pre-ordered and hope it's F13 vibes from the gameplay and community.
@@SlashNCast 100% but interesting why comp is associated with toxicity when that's not the case. If someone is going to be toxic and bully, that's a separate problem Vs players who are just trying their best to win.
Great video and thanks to you both i can't wait for this game! Love the movie and this game has a lot of fun references from the movie it looks like 👍 i hope the music and sound is awesome to go with game! I pre-order the deluxe or premium edition!
I've been waiting since they did the soft announcement of this forever ago. Pre-ordered back in February the deluxe edition so be seeing all of you next tuesday! 😎
Seems like the same old Asym formula. Fun factor is heavily on the “victim” side. After the Jason rework people would back out to avoid playing him. It wouldn’t shock me if KK suffers the same fate.
Can't wait to play this it can't release any faster I hope people don't camp and jsut wait for the chiodo brothers to spawn that would suck literally no skill but I think k it gonna be fun and not as sweaty as recent asm games ether way I'm gonna play it and have tons to fun
One thing I'll add is Killer Klowns has a niche appeal as a license. With that said, what were they thinking making this a 3 v 7 game? Queues are going to take so damn long because this will surely have a pretty small player base. Just to add a bonus point about it being a niche franchise, at least we probably won't have a bunch of DBD people showing up and making the game sweaty? (Fingers crossed)
@@djdepression TCM has a quick match option, but you can also just pick which side you want to play. Killer Klowns won’t have that. You just search and get what you get. I haven’t heard anything about starting with less players, but I doubt you’d want to since it’d break balance.
A game is not sweaty, it's the players that make it; and lots of people playing asym games always find ways to capitalize and build metas on both sides for maximum trolling and winning. It's essentially a large reason as to why these games become this competitive and drives you to play it even more.
my exact thoughts these past few days lol I’m probably gonna do it tho the most fun time for these games is usually those first few days during launch week because everyone is still learning
Yea... that's why the devs cancelled the beta. They know their game isn't going to hold up. They don't want people getting a feel for the game unless they pay 60 bucks. Watching the dev stream that came out recently actually confirmed my fears. The game looks SUPER boring. I was falling asleep to the stream.
If the devs were smart, they would keep all meta game perks (as opposed to temporary game perks) temporarily locked for a period of time while at the same time, allowing everyone to grind for cosmetics and other non-meta game unlockables to see how balanced/unbalanced the game is without meta game perks first. Let everyone experience the game first before introducing any sort of meta game, if necessary. F13 did a good job of welcoming new players without OP perks. I can’t say the same for TCM.
they need to survive the humaninvasion, last 30 seconds revive all 6 humans and run out they cant stop 7 powerful humans, even great for AFkler humans to win safely, only 4 humans needs to survive so the clowns needs to kill 4 humans and again 4 humans minimum very stressful.
10:00 That absolutely worries me. As someone who mainly plays with a 3 stack on TCM and then going to solo queue where most people can walk right by you actively chasing someone it could be a disaster. We'll see how it looks when the sweats get on the game but it really did feel super survivor sided and if most games an average of 3 or so are escaping that is going to crush the Clown number count massively. I really just wonder what the bots are going to be like because while I don't want new asyms to fail I could see KK having an even more limited opportunity to bring in players than TCM did with the 3v7 difficulty aspect and full game pricetag vs getting to play on gamepass. Would be hard to do and would take some serious capital/risk but it would be great to see just a bunch of ips with the 3v4 arrangement instead of all of these separate games. Personally I think the pure gameplay of TCM is just amazing and while I'll likely give KK a go I feel it might be a little too goofy for me personally.
I mean 3 seems fine i don't really see a difference, besides 10 players is a better number to use than 11 and even then 3 v 7 sounds more fair to me. If it was 4 than id think you nees more humans since it seems each clown needs 2 humans to pull their weight with an extra after
11:44 I think you already solved this problem with weapon durability, but if you want to prevent this even more, then just turn down the weapon spawn rate
I can't believe i'm hearing the shade thrown at Evil Dead! This should be an interesting one, regardless of what happens with this game. The first few weeks of playing these games and learning them with the community makes them so enjoyable. When they get tedious is when the sweats start discovering metas and that when a lot of people leave. I say as long as this game has some simple standards of crossplay friends list, a strong anti-cheat and don't make a mistake of banning 1/3 of the playerbase from the queues, then it will do well. The worrying part will be the balancing on this one. Illfonic, support a lot for content, but they do like to ignore broken stuff in balancing in their games. Hopefully they're willing to listen and address any of the bigger concerns from the playerbase quickly. Also tone down that UI please 😂
Hey slash, please do little hope after the devil in me, genuinely one of my favorite games in dark pictures anthology. It’s one of the best last stand type of games.
if these games wanna live, they should partner. We should have Kate Denson from DBD into Texas. Clown from dbd into Killer Klowns; and other crative things to bring aeveryone together and with that, stoping the rivals thing. This is more effective then saying "we can all coexist".
@@SlashNCast I'm not telling u to do that, pls dont talk to people like everyone is a troll; I'm brazilian, so I'm sorry if my english seems rusty. "we can all coexist" its what the Gun devs say sometimes, I took that as an example, and I just give it an idea, since I'm playing these games since 2018
KK and TCM have different play style that's why I feel TCM won't die down. TCM is more towards the gore style and I feel it's more fast pace. KK game will be much slower paced and I see it plays more like DBD. I wish both games the best 😀
With 3 killers in a match, this game is gonna suffer the same way TCM does. Killers will disconnect in the middle of a match leaving it impossible to win as killer. Longer lobby wait times trying to get 3 killers. This game is already setup to fail.
Got back into TCM a couple days ago after months away. Felt less sweaty than it had back before I left so I was having a lot of fun solo queuing again. As long as it can be kept casual, I see myself pumping hours into Killer Klowns ^w^
So he’s playing mouse keyboard they didn’t like that but we’ll see. Back in the day a game came out like this I think it was called prey ( one monster several humans) it bombed!
Well, it looks like the clown role might not be the one for me. 😅 I think it would drive me a little bit crazy to not get all of the humans. Thanks for the info, guys! This is the best info about the game that I’ve seen.
I believe it will become "competetive" just like what happened to TCM the devs said they wont add dc penalties because its not a competitive game ended up doing it. The community will ruin this game just like they did/are doing to tcm
TOMORROW GUYS!!!! I’m super stoked! 🔥🔥🔥🖤 are you guys going live with this game tonight like Old Head Gaming is at 5? DUDE YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY I GOT TO WAIT TILL 12 PM TO PLAY TOMORROW LOL 😂, I want to get on the Game for real. 💚🤡
Sorry if I missed it if it was mentioned, but does the game have proximity chat so the killers & survivors can talk to eachother similar to F13? I can't wait to play this game forreal
I just don't understand why they make the Survivor side of Asym's able to fight back like this... It goes against the ENTIRE point of asym. Dead by Daylight would NOT have been successful if Survivors could just drop kick Micheal Myers across the map.
I think klowns are better off just killing the humans through klowntality. Doing the whole cocoon process seems like it takes too long for not even a guaranteed sacrifice as well as 6 other humans doing there thing while you do that whole process. Killing them seems way more damaging.
It has some similarities, but the overall game design is much different. They obviously pulled from Ghostbusters when it comes to things like customization though.
I've realized the problem with the competitive game mindset. Some people want these kinds of games to be truly competitive, they desperately want tournaments and e-sports and money involved. It's the dream of... Well if I'm good at this then I should be able to make money off it otherwise this doesn't deserve to exist. It needs to be perfectly balanced, fun be damned. It's really silly in a lot of the assym games where one side is definitely supposed to have an advantage, but you have this group of players who refuse to understand that and keep demanding the game be 'balanced'. Not understanding that part of the fun of either being the overwhelming brute or the plucky underdog who dies a lot but can still win sometimes anyways. I love just simple 'party'/'casual' games but there's always going to be those people like who are going to try to mold the game into something competitive. (No Items, Fox Only, Final Destination) and I kind of wish they didn't think that every game has to be like that.
Ngl, I'm not really sure how I feel about the game yet. I'm just getting annoyed with people saying this game is gonna kill TCM. Why can't they both coexist? I'll still continue to play TCM because I love the franchise and how dark and gritty the game is.
I'm not sure it'll survive because of what you said about the balance. If you're correct that in general the Klowns can't kill everyone killer players will instantly complain and end up quiting pretty fast. At least that seems likely to me.
@@SlashNCast it might be. I'm not sure it'll be a big enough audience to sustain it though. Ghostbusters has the advantage of being a hugely popular IP. KK doesn't really have that broad appeal.
@@SlashNCast honestly the only reason I was aware of the game was due to your channel and the TCM sub. In the end you might be right about KK's prospects. I'm less certain though.
In my opinion and take this with a extreme grain of salt it might be bad simply because we seen in tcm where people dont work together and ive noticed from watching gameplay the clowns are really easy to bully i got flashbacks to jason bully squads where they just gang up and proceed to beat the shit out of jason.
Great vid, good feedback and angles of criticism. You KNOW illFonic will do balance and additions post launch for the game once player there heads on it.

All I want say speedy recovery Nick 😊

This game looks so fun, the character customization alone got me to pre order the deluxe edition. No other asym game has customization like this
Good break down guys, as always.
Looking forward to this one, should be fun.
I'm just excited to be playing this game after a long wait for it to come out. I just love the movie and theme.
It's human nature to be competitive so any PvP setting will have that. As much as most dislike a comp mindset, it's also wrong to demonise those who enjoy that. It's up to the Devs to make sure this is balanced to allow fun at all levels, then there would be no us Vs them between casual and comp.
I've pre-ordered and hope it's F13 vibes from the gameplay and community.
Sweaty = fine
Bullying and griefing is not.
@@SlashNCast 100% but interesting why comp is associated with toxicity when that's not the case. If someone is going to be toxic and bully, that's a separate problem Vs players who are just trying their best to win.
@@SirBM-TTV I 100% agree. There’s a big difference.
Looking forward to playing this next week
Great video and thanks to you both i can't wait for this game! Love the movie and this game has a lot of fun references from the movie it looks like 👍 i hope the music and sound is awesome to go with game! I pre-order the deluxe or premium edition!
I've been waiting since they did the soft announcement of this forever ago. Pre-ordered back in February the deluxe edition so be seeing all of you next tuesday! 😎
Glad the game sounds fun on first impressions. Can't wait for it in a week!
Seems like the same old Asym formula. Fun factor is heavily on the “victim” side.
After the Jason rework people would back out to avoid playing him. It wouldn’t shock me if KK suffers the same fate.
Can't wait to play this it can't release any faster I hope people don't camp and jsut wait for the chiodo brothers to spawn that would suck literally no skill but I think k it gonna be fun and not as sweaty as recent asm games ether way I'm gonna play it and have tons to fun
If people camp just push cotton cansy generators. Lackeys will traverse the map trying to find humans. It will help you with super stealth players.
They should limit how much people can escape with it like with the other exits.
@@reanukeeves1164 I agree some players are really petty
One thing I'll add is Killer Klowns has a niche appeal as a license. With that said, what were they thinking making this a 3 v 7 game? Queues are going to take so damn long because this will surely have a pretty small player base.
Just to add a bonus point about it being a niche franchise, at least we probably won't have a bunch of DBD people showing up and making the game sweaty? (Fingers crossed)
It’s preference-based matchmaking, so it shouldn’t be too bad.
@SlashNCast isn't that what TCM is? Those queues can be brutal. Do you know if it will let you start with less than 10 players like f13 would?
@@djdepression TCM has a quick match option, but you can also just pick which side you want to play. Killer Klowns won’t have that. You just search and get what you get. I haven’t heard anything about starting with less players, but I doubt you’d want to since it’d break balance.
Im glad its not a sweaty game tbh :) itll be nice to have a laugh again on a game rather than getting annoyed lol
Knock on wood pal, it’ll get sweaty real fast.
@@Shadowman-yb9hqnot if it goes like friday
A game is not sweaty, it's the players that make it; and lots of people playing asym games always find ways to capitalize and build metas on both sides for maximum trolling and winning. It's essentially a large reason as to why these games become this competitive and drives you to play it even more.
@@noitsbecky.4291 Every online game gets sweaty at some point, it’s just what happens sadly.
@@Shadowman-yb9hq well obviously. friday is an example of a casual asymm at its core tho exceptions. it was too good to be true and was shut down.
Is it worth preordering? I want it so bad but something is telling me not to lol
my exact thoughts these past few days lol I’m probably gonna do it tho
the most fun time for these games is usually those first few days during launch week because everyone is still learning
No, never pre order
Good info thanks, looking forward to it
Hopefully it gets some big attention at release we need people from all kinds of player base to check it out thats why im a big fan of free open betas
Yea... that's why the devs cancelled the beta. They know their game isn't going to hold up. They don't want people getting a feel for the game unless they pay 60 bucks. Watching the dev stream that came out recently actually confirmed my fears. The game looks SUPER boring. I was falling asleep to the stream.
3 v 7 clowns getting wrecked huge disadvantage
Just a reminder that F13 was 1v7.
@SlashNCast and f13 is also counselor sided when both sides are experienced.
If the devs were smart, they would keep all meta game perks (as opposed to temporary game perks) temporarily locked for a period of time while at the same time, allowing everyone to grind for cosmetics and other non-meta game unlockables to see how balanced/unbalanced the game is without meta game perks first. Let everyone experience the game first before introducing any sort of meta game, if necessary. F13 did a good job of welcoming new players without OP perks. I can’t say the same for TCM.
they need to survive the humaninvasion, last 30 seconds revive all 6 humans and run out they cant stop 7 powerful humans, even great for AFkler humans to win safely, only 4 humans needs to survive so the clowns needs to kill 4 humans and again 4 humans minimum very stressful.
I’ll never forgive myself for buying Evil Dead and Predator
at least predator is getting a revival and new content soon
@@thrasher2753 I’m praying because those lobby wait times are unacceptable
@@neo94_gaming2 Not for me?
Same here except I regret buying Evil Dead & TCSM
Same, I even bought the collectors edition of Evil Dead The Game.
10:00 That absolutely worries me. As someone who mainly plays with a 3 stack on TCM and then going to solo queue where most people can walk right by you actively chasing someone it could be a disaster. We'll see how it looks when the sweats get on the game but it really did feel super survivor sided and if most games an average of 3 or so are escaping that is going to crush the Clown number count massively. I really just wonder what the bots are going to be like because while I don't want new asyms to fail I could see KK having an even more limited opportunity to bring in players than TCM did with the 3v7 difficulty aspect and full game pricetag vs getting to play on gamepass. Would be hard to do and would take some serious capital/risk but it would be great to see just a bunch of ips with the 3v4 arrangement instead of all of these separate games. Personally I think the pure gameplay of TCM is just amazing and while I'll likely give KK a go I feel it might be a little too goofy for me personally.
I think it looks amazing, but wish there was a 4 Klowns team instead of 3... Just makes sense with how they traveled in packs in the film...
I mean 3 seems fine i don't really see a difference, besides 10 players is a better number to use than 11 and even then 3 v 7 sounds more fair to me. If it was 4 than id think you nees more humans since it seems each clown needs 2 humans to pull their weight with an extra after
Glad you’re well nick mate 👍
*Hope you're doing well, Nick! Take care! Thanks for being a super siiiiick rad dad!*
So pumped for this game!
See yall in Crescent Cove! 🤡🔫
11:44 I think you already solved this problem with weapon durability, but if you want to prevent this even more, then just turn down the weapon spawn rate
I can't believe i'm hearing the shade thrown at Evil Dead!
This should be an interesting one, regardless of what happens with this game. The first few weeks of playing these games and learning them with the community makes them so enjoyable. When they get tedious is when the sweats start discovering metas and that when a lot of people leave.
I say as long as this game has some simple standards of crossplay friends list, a strong anti-cheat and don't make a mistake of banning 1/3 of the playerbase from the queues, then it will do well.
The worrying part will be the balancing on this one. Illfonic, support a lot for content, but they do like to ignore broken stuff in balancing in their games. Hopefully they're willing to listen and address any of the bigger concerns from the playerbase quickly.
Also tone down that UI please 😂
Hellyea! Let's go 🔥🤘
Game should be called killer bots from outer space because the community will move on quick.
Hey slash, please do little hope after the devil in me, genuinely one of my favorite games in dark pictures anthology. It’s one of the best last stand type of games.
F13 showed us that these games are mean't for true horror fans and fun is the biggest aspect of these games
Looks awesome!
if these games wanna live, they should partner. We should have Kate Denson from DBD into Texas. Clown from dbd into Killer Klowns; and other crative things to bring aeveryone together and with that, stoping the rivals thing. This is more effective then saying "we can all coexist".
@@SlashNCast I'm not telling u to do that, pls dont talk to people like everyone is a troll; I'm brazilian, so I'm sorry if my english seems rusty. "we can all coexist" its what the Gun devs say sometimes, I took that as an example, and I just give it an idea, since I'm playing these games since 2018
@@renanrichel Naa, I agree with you lol it’d be cool, but I doubt it ever happens 😭
KK and TCM have different play style that's why I feel TCM won't die down. TCM is more towards the gore style and I feel it's more fast pace. KK game will be much slower paced and I see it plays more like DBD. I wish both games the best 😀
With 3 killers in a match, this game is gonna suffer the same way TCM does. Killers will disconnect in the middle of a match leaving it impossible to win as killer. Longer lobby wait times trying to get 3 killers. This game is already setup to fail.
Stop being negative
Killer Klowns is my #1 favorite horror film of all time.
Got back into TCM a couple days ago after months away. Felt less sweaty than it had back before I left so I was having a lot of fun solo queuing again. As long as it can be kept casual, I see myself pumping hours into Killer Klowns ^w^
So he’s playing mouse keyboard they didn’t like that but we’ll see. Back in the day a game came out like this I think it was called prey ( one monster several humans) it bombed!
Well, it looks like the clown role might not be the one for me. 😅 I think it would drive me a little bit crazy to not get all of the humans. Thanks for the info, guys! This is the best info about the game that I’ve seen.
Stop sweating so much, Serra. Gosh.
I believe it will become "competetive" just like what happened to TCM the devs said they wont add dc penalties because its not a competitive game ended up doing it. The community will ruin this game just like they did/are doing to tcm
TOMORROW GUYS!!!! I’m super stoked! 🔥🔥🔥🖤 are you guys going live with this game tonight like Old Head Gaming is at 5? DUDE YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY I GOT TO WAIT TILL 12 PM TO PLAY TOMORROW LOL 😂, I want to get on the Game for real. 💚🤡
Sorry if I missed it if it was mentioned, but does the game have proximity chat so the killers & survivors can talk to eachother similar to F13? I can't wait to play this game forreal
Yes it does
I just don't understand why they make the Survivor side of Asym's able to fight back like this...
It goes against the ENTIRE point of asym. Dead by Daylight would NOT have been successful if Survivors could just drop kick Micheal Myers across the map.
I think klowns are better off just killing the humans through klowntality. Doing the whole cocoon process seems like it takes too long for not even a guaranteed sacrifice as well as 6 other humans doing there thing while you do that whole process. Killing them seems way more damaging.
As long as its not like the Ghostbusters game just cant get in to that game i wish they bring back Friday or evil dead
It has some similarities, but the overall game design is much different. They obviously pulled from Ghostbusters when it comes to things like customization though.
I've realized the problem with the competitive game mindset. Some people want these kinds of games to be truly competitive, they desperately want tournaments and e-sports and money involved. It's the dream of... Well if I'm good at this then I should be able to make money off it otherwise this doesn't deserve to exist. It needs to be perfectly balanced, fun be damned.
It's really silly in a lot of the assym games where one side is definitely supposed to have an advantage, but you have this group of players who refuse to understand that and keep demanding the game be 'balanced'. Not understanding that part of the fun of either being the overwhelming brute or the plucky underdog who dies a lot but can still win sometimes anyways.
I love just simple 'party'/'casual' games but there's always going to be those people like who are going to try to mold the game into something competitive. (No Items, Fox Only, Final Destination) and I kind of wish they didn't think that every game has to be like that.
Ngl, I'm not really sure how I feel about the game yet. I'm just getting annoyed with people saying this game is gonna kill TCM. Why can't they both coexist? I'll still continue to play TCM because I love the franchise and how dark and gritty the game is.
The Klowns look great except for Jumbo, with the finger “come here” ability. His eyes are too small and supposed be big and wall-eyed and dead looking
I already got the game me and my friends cant wait
maybe cook wants a kill- sorry but that’s all I hear from nicks voice lol. I’m actually excited to play this game!!
PS shipping with more than 2 maps!!
I went digging to try and find more info lol thank you for confirming!
I'm not sure it'll survive because of what you said about the balance. If you're correct that in general the Klowns can't kill everyone killer players will instantly complain and end up quiting pretty fast. At least that seems likely to me.
It’s going to attract a specific audience, similar to Ghostbusters. I think it’ll be okay.
@@SlashNCast it might be. I'm not sure it'll be a big enough audience to sustain it though. Ghostbusters has the advantage of being a hugely popular IP. KK doesn't really have that broad appeal.
@@Rj-pw7zs KK has had a much larger marketing bang though. It’s reached millions. Ghostbusters didn’t have that going for it.
@@SlashNCast honestly the only reason I was aware of the game was due to your channel and the TCM sub. In the end you might be right about KK's prospects. I'm less certain though.
excited for the 28th!
Can’t wait to play
Buff Klowns
In my opinion and take this with a extreme grain of salt it might be bad simply because we seen in tcm where people dont work together and ive noticed from watching gameplay the clowns are really easy to bully i got flashbacks to jason bully squads where they just gang up and proceed to beat the shit out of jason.
I think they got to make it to were 2 or 3 players need to work together to kill a klowns
I am honestly so excited for this game for early access I also have you Riley on PS5 so maybe we can get some games together when it’s released 🤘🏻🤡
I love hope soon
Do you think this will be better then Friday the 13th? That was my fav
This will be ruined by sweaties, just like all of the others. Sad too, because these games are so fun when they first release
I personally feel like that’s bs it shouldn’t be that easy to kill a klown
I agree jason is the best
What are the two maps? And do the humans have voicelines?
The two maps are the Carnival, and the other one could be a campsite or the town in the movie. And yes, the humans have voicelines,
who's the blond survivor with red shirt????
Huge fan if the movie, is this a PC game?
Yep, it's on Steam
This does sound pretty fun. Having only 2 maps at launch though is kinda 😬
