I think, and hope, the looping thing will be countered in this game. in a game where you're a helpless victim, the killer always need to be a little stronger. The survivors need to make their own strategies to survive and improve on the game.

here is a quick tip while playing killer: your teamwork is what gets kills, not you alone.

Your mindset suggests that killers shouldn't have as much agency as survivors in match power, which is insane, because there are 3 killers to 4 survivors. Killers should have more personal power.

Go take a seat :)

What else can they add tho? Because this game is based on an existing ip it has to follow lore so I feel like new content is going to be limited.

They could add maps based around all the versions of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, i'm really hoping that they'll add the 2003 version of Leatherface as a skin and a map based around the Hewitt house as a map, that would be awesome as that house is HUGE, if you saw both 2003 and the prequel movie of it.

They only have rights to the one movie, they can not use from all the titles/versions at the time. The game will need to get really popular before they can start working on details with other movies. They did mention in one review, the creator of the original movie has a lot of unused assets from that movie (Locations/family members) they will be using to come up with new characters based in the lore. And victims really just can be any teen from that era, and they can just come up with powers for em.

This review was honestly a joke. Everything ran smoothly in the tech test so no reason it would be any different now. I don't know of one person who didn't love the tech test and isn't excited for release day.

This was a quote from the review: "There was a chloroform-doused wet blanket over the whole thing." Like wtf does that even mean?? lol They definitely sounded biased or something.

Dbd had 1 killer, 1-2 maps, and full of game-breaking bugs on release day and I think IGN gave it a 9/10. We get 3 maps, 5 killers and from what we've seen in the tech test, everything looks solid

Not defending IGN, but the release version will be totally different from the test tech version (skill tree access, able to party as a group, more maps, etc) I think the game will most likely have connection issues at launch and might be hard to play. That’s not to say the game won’t improve over time.

Whoever takes IGN seriously is a joke in itself.

3 maps is quite a bummer. It's gonna get pretty stale in a month I feel.

They'll likely add more maps games like this usually do.

Yeah I never trust IGN reviews they seem to base reviews on who is paying the most. Funny how Triple A games always get glowing reviews no matter how much of a mess they are from IGN.

I mean... it is quite possible the review copy might have suffered from some tech problems, however no other review mentioned anything about that so it seems IGN's PC setup made a booboo.

The "3 maps" at launch is indeed an issue, but only for people who will want to no-life the game and play it until their inevitable burn out.

Also, content wise, the comparisons to DBD need to stop. That game launched in such a sorry state with so little content and has had 7 years of updates... you cannot really expect any game to LAUNCH with as many maps and characters.

What I find interesting is that the reviewers cannot agree if the game is competetive or casual friendly. We know the devs stance on this, but it seems people were getting overwhelmed easily by being matched with stronger opposing teams. I smell some kind of matchmaking will have to be added at some point to avoid player retention due to frustration.

DBD had 3 maps at launch, TCM has more, technically. Because there are changes between night and day versions.

They already confirmed og maps and characters, so they arent limited at all (except for the timeline they work with)

yeah, the argument that the game will be stale is hilarious. yet they'll go right back to the exact same dbd game they've been playing for 7 straight years
