For this demo, it was Hans Volter, a Nazi scientist mutated in the outbreak. Killing Floor 2’s greatest challenge, however, are boss characters which arrive upon completing the final wave. And that’s not getting into the heavy zeds with chainsaw arms that deal massive damage while distracting you from the greater horde. Others will break past your defenses, like the invisible Stalker only noticeable as a red outline, or the Siren with a piercing audio attack that disrupts your vision. You’ll encounter common video game zombie types like the Bloat which vomit bile and explode upon death.
An impressive variety of specimens were on display at the PAX East PS4 demo, from the slow-moving Cysts and Clots, to the sprinting Gorefast.
Then you have the various zed types to worry about. In a last-ditched attempt to regain control of Europe, Horzine Biotech is offering bounties to civilians and mercenaries willing to secure zed hotspots, exterminating every hostile creature they encounter. These deadly zombies - sorry, “specimen clones” or zeds - have completely overwhelmed military forces and governments, leaving small pockets of survivors behind. Killing Floor 2 takes place a month after the original game, after Britain's outbreak has spread across the European Union. For the sequel, that same spirit is alive and well, and marks the first time PlayStation 4 players will be able to jump in on the action. Tripwire understood this with Killing Floor, a zombie game which tapped into that primal survival instinct and was an absolute blast with friends.
Yes, it’s a little cliched at this point, but it’s simply thrilling to face down infected hordes, rush to secure key locations, and keep enemies at bay while your ammunition slowly dwindles. Zombies are everywhere in video games these days, but that doesn't make fighting them any less fun.
