is it just me or are the new zed designs just kinda boring?

[Calango Polar]

Dont get me wrong i'm really looking foward to killing floor 3 but most of the zeds just kinda look like doom demons.
One of my personal favorite things about killing floor 2 and 1 was on how the zeds still kinda looked like humans, it brought a lot of horror to their designs.
Also the facial animations were super cool like blowing a clot's arm off and seeing its face change from an angry look to pure pain was just so cool and with the new designs it doesnt look like we are going to get a whole lot of them

Doom 2016 artist is working on creature design, apparently.

What specifically about the newer designs do you not like? We've also only seen roughly 5 ZEDs. With only 3 being showcased in trailers. I did spot a Crawler-like creature during the ending of the Fleshpound trailer, and I'm not sure if the ones with red eyes are Clots or Slashers, my guess is Slasher.

Have a good rest of your week OP.

i just kinda miss the heavily mutated human look the previous games had, like seeing something that looks like a human but at the same time isnt quite right just feels way scarier than big thing with lots of muscles and machine parts
the cyst for example went from a underdeveloped looking human to something that just looks like a doom 3 demon.
Theres still a lot of zeds for tripwire to reveal but so far the designs are just not great they just look generic
edit : a good rest of your week for you too!

Well, alright. I agree about the Cysts. I'm still unsure about their design. I can't unsee the resemblance to foreskin and I feel it might affect my experience with the game.

And about the reactions to damage, it's possible they'll keep that in this game. It might not mean much, but they seem to still be using Blood Maps for blood, the revolver screenshot with the fire pool being the best example. So they may be using, albeit newer updated versions, of previous sub-systems and mechanics.

Curious and looking forward to seeing the rest of the ZED roster, though.

yeah i also really wanna see the rest of the roster so far the changes(grapple hook) with the scrake are looking great from a gameplay point of view!

Personally i think, all zeds look good so far, excep i would make the scrake without the mask, meaner looking, cause rite now it kinda looks like they have down syndrome.

I liked the new fleshpound with his extendo arms and big monkey leap.
Did not care for the new scrake face. Felt too cybernetic which kind of goes against the original design of him being human-like while the fleshpound is the hulking cyborge killing machine. The rest of his design is alright

Still waitng to see the rest. I want to see some freshly skinned gorefasts and a husk with charred skin and his little mouth piece and breathing tubes. Whatever the lore is behind them idk they just look cool and are just part of the iconic look.

As a hemoclobber main, I find this highly offensive

I agree op. I guess it has to do with the 2091 theme.

[Joel luupää]

i wish too theres gonna be zeds having actual eyeballs, a bit boring in my opinion too to stare only visors and robotic faces when we whoop their asses, but perhaps we learn to love this desing eventually and gonna miss it too when they reveal kf4 zeds in the far away future someday

[Mighty-Seb]

I love the design the humanoid creatures and not just clones of a person/ persons that look like the original

[Revalopod]

I don't mind as long as it has an awesome gore system to satisfyingly break them apart piece by piece.

im sure tripwire aint fumbling the bag on the gore

[CupNade]

They don't look cobbled together from re-programmed foreign gene material, they look like Jason X

Same. I didn't even really like the kf2 redesigns.

I'm just here for the gunplay and gore and slow mo.

shotting robots isn't as much fun as shooting flesh.

I remember when they added EDARS to KF 2, boring to shoot at and annoying.
