Friday The 13th: The Game (PS4, XB1, PC)

NICE!

[steelerfan]

The game is $35.99 In the PlayStation Store if anyone is interested. I think it's part of the sale that ends 8/1.

Well worth it at that price! This game owned my life for the first month it was released. Unfortunately I haven't been able to play in a while due to work, which has basically killed my gaming time entirely (I don't remember if I've even put any gaming time in for the entirety of July), but I am itching to get back to bashing Jason in the head with a baseball bat as soon as I can actually return to a semi-normal gaming life.

This year work has killed my gaming time as well as time on this site. I must say, I do miss your NCAA FOOTBALL 14 thread (and mine) but with the demise of NCAA for the past few years I have played games I would have never played if NCAA were still around.

There have been some changes at work. While I'm currently doing a midday air shift that ties up any time before 4pm, I no longer have to work on Saturdays (my last Saturday air shift was this past weekend), so I now have a true 48 hour weekend every Saturday and Sunday.

So I hope to take advantage of my free weekends now to get my dynasty fired back up. And now I'll finally be able to watch the damn noon college football games on Saturdays for the first time in 9 years! :)

And agreed, with the massive void left by the demise of the NCAA series, I have tried many different games and series that I probably never would have touched if NCAA was still around. So I suppose some good came from its demise. I have discovered great new games, new series, new studios whose games and work I really enjoy.

Now Gun has revealed to GamesIndustry.biz that within two months the game has managed to sell over 1.8 million units.

Gun Media boss and Friday the 13th co-creator Wes Keltner tells me, "This entire project has been a huge learning experience for both Gun and Illfonic. We will be the first to admit that we weren't ready for the huge influx of players that hit us day one.

"We looked at our player numbers from the beta, along with pre-orders and then added a 30% cushion. That's how we set up our servers and database for launch. We were soooo wrong. 100,000 players hit us in the first 20 minutes, and our servers melted. Our first weekend was chaos. The entire team slept at their desks trying to keep up with demand. It's an experience I'll never forget. With our small budget, we couldn't afford a large scale QA effort. We did a PC beta, and gleaned a lot of great data from that. But again, we weren't ready for the tidal wave of players."

Keltner won't share the exact budget, but he notes, "The total we spent creating this game, would only cover half the animation budget for AAA games. But we made the most with what we had. As for being profitable, we were in the black quickly. However, we have reinvested that profit directly back into F13 in the form of new content (maps, characters, etc) and our ongoing server costs."

I'm surprised the request wasn't to make the maps bigger???

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind some bigger maps. Make both the hunt as Jason and the survival as counselor a bit more interesting.

We really need to get a TGT night on this game, lol.

Sadly the group I was running with back when this first came out seems to have died out. I still see 2 or 3 on from time to time, but there used to be 10+ of us on every night, and if you weren't on early enough, you had to wait for a spot to open up to get an invite into the party.

It seems like since mid to late June, those numbers started dying off and never recovered.

I would love to but I didn't end up buying the game. I just don't know when I would have the time. However, when the price drops... I'm in!

The game is $40 and was made for about $2M. In the first 2 months the game sold 1.8M copies putting at least $72M in the coffers. With the team's dedication to adding to the game and an enormous amount of cash to do so, they will be adding alot to this title.

Aside from the content in the video above, single player is coming soon. With everything that will be getting added (maps, Jasons, counselors and MAYBE even modes) I don't think there will be much motivation or need to lower the price.

Or if any of us have friends with the game on at the time, we could try to get them invited in and help fill the group.

I don't know what night works for you guys, but my availability is 5-10pm EST Monday-Thursday, 10:30pm EST and later Friday nights, pretty much any time on Saturdays and any time before 10pm EST on Sundays.

I'll obviously not be online all those times, but I'll almost always be at home during those time frames and would be available to fire up my PS4 and jump on for some Jason dueling. I think I have steelers' and maybe JB's phone numbers from when we would chat via cell bluetooth while playing SW Battlefront, so all I'd need is a text about starting up a group to jump on.

V1.08 with smaller maps is live.

[cdj]

V1.08 with smaller maps is live.

It also addresses team killing:

But by far the biggest change that shipped with the patch is the removal of team killing from the game. Since the game’s release, team killing has plagued the currently multiplayer-only game as Counselors attacked each other and ruined players’ games. Sometimes it was motivated by groups of players working with the Jason to boost each others’ scores while other times it was done entirely out of spite.

Regardless of the reasons, team killing is dead and gone except for a few situations. Cars can still kill teammates, and friendly beartraps can lead to an untimely death, but players won’t be penalized for allies walking into their traps.


Some speculation came out last week that a future update may include rain on some maps.

[steelerfan]

As an early backer, I got a survey shortly after launch with a list of about 20 things asking to pick one to add. One of the options was dynamic weather.

There's alot of confirmed content coming soon. New counselors, new map, new Jason, new counselor clothing (paid DLC), new kills and more.

The two houses shown are from Part 4. One is the Jarvis house the other is the one next door where the kids were partying. The Jason shown is also from Part 4.

New Features


Rain

The Rain feature is now available and players may have a chance to encounter this new weather in any of the current playable maps.

Note; we had originally discussed toggle on/off feature for private matches however that will be in the next patch due to time constraints.






Counselors pushing

Counselors are now able to “push” other counselors

"In order to prevent players from griefing via “bodyblocking”, we have introduced a new feature that allows Counselors to push each other. The player being pushed will slowly walk away in the direction opposite of the player pushing. This feature does not affect Jason."





Changes

Thick Skinned perk changes

Thick Skinned now reduces ALL damage

“Originally, Thick Skinned was intended to reduce damage specifically from Jason's’ attacks. However, there was a bug that was causing Thick Skinned to apply twice which in turn also caused the perk to incorrectly reduce all incoming damage. This issue was fixed in the last patch. After considering our internal testing and community feedback, we agreed that the previous iteration of Thick Skinned worked better for game balance when the inflated damage reduction values were no longer present.”


The tooltip for Thick Skinned has been changed from “Take less damage from all incoming attacks.” to “Take less damage.“



[Known Issue] Perks that had their values adjusted will have no in-game effect until re-equipped


Stun Duration adjusted

Jason’s Stun Duration timer has been adjusted

“Jason’s Stun Duration has been adjusted across all counselors and items to better balance the changes made by the previous bug fix.”






Grease Monkey perk re-balanced

Reduced the effectiveness of the Grease Monkey perk

“Grease Monkey was individually causing too large of an impact. We have adjusted Grease Monkey to be more consistent with other perks.”




[Known Issue] Perks that had their values adjusted will have no in-game effect until re-equipped

Trap Damage adjusted

All counselors now take the same amount of damage from traps

“Traps have been adjusted to inflict the same amount of damage across all counselors. Players that activate a trap will now always be wounded unless equipped with an adequate trap damage reduction perk.”





Bug Fixes

Perks

Fixed a bug that allowed players to keep perks with old balance values
Fixed a bug where the Medic perk to show incorrect amount of charges on the Medical Spray item
Fixed a bug that was causing the Grinder perk to unintentionally grant Jason additional XP


Counselors

Fixed a bug that caused Pamela Voorhees’ Sweater to sometimes not properly appear as equipped
Fixed an issue that caused players to sometimes become stuck if they used the Emote Wheel while in hiding
Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause counselors to disappear from customization menus


Jason

Fixed a bug that was causing Jason 9 to have a higher base HP than intended. His HP should now properly reflect his tooltip
Fixed a bug in Private Matches where choosing a player to be Jason in the pre-game menu was not working properly
Fixed a bug that would sometimes crash the client if Jason grabs a Counselor that is sitting in a boat
Fixed a bug causing Firecrackers to stun Jason through certain walls


Tommy Jarvis

Fixed a bug that caused the Tommy Jarvis’ arrival cutscene to sometimes not be displayed
Fixed a bug that was causing a second Tommy Jarvis model to appear
Fixed a bug that allowed Tommy Jarvis to be killed during his intro cinematic
Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause Tommy Jarvis to spawn for a disconnected player


Spectators

The “Police Arrival Timer” and “Match End Timer” are now properly in sync while in Spectator Mode
Fixed an issue where after re-joining a session, the spectator will crash after spectating Jason’s death


Maps

General

Tidied up various counselor survival exploit locations on all maps


Packanack

The Phone Box on the cabin can now be repaired regardless of the angle it is approached from
Fixed an issue that allowed players to drive out of bounds


Packanack Small

Fixed an issue that prevented players from interacting with the Poker in one of the cabins
The Power Box outside of the barn is no longer being blocked by a tree
The stacks of hay bales by the Archery Range are now properly blocked off
Fixed an issue that caused players to be unable to pick up the Shotgun near the Archery Range



Vehicles

Spectators are able to properly access the scoreboard again
Updated the font for the match intro movies

[steelerfan]

The Content Guide Roadmap has been updated and some things have been moved around.

If I had to guess, the map before Winter will be Camp Forest Green from part 6 (with any outside chance of a part 5 map), the new Jason by the new game mode (Paranoia) will be Roy from part 5 and the new clothing/Jason/map at the end will all be from Jason X.

The new counselors are anyone's guess. But if they're from the films I'd guess we could see Shelly from part 3, Tina from Part 7 (the actors have expressed interest in being in the game) or Mark from part 2.

Mark, like Fox, may be tricky because the actor is dead but I put him on the list because, during the Kickstarter, a counselor in a wheelchair was a stretch goal. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171107/346c623fdf4fd1bc861b715e4468eda6.jpg

I remember you were all over this and then you kind of went silent. The online play is too annoying???

[steelerfan]

I remember you were all over this and then you kind of went silent. The online play is too annoying??? I'm extremely fickle about the F13 franchise. The littlest things annoy me online. I get annoyed when people "teabag" Jason when he's been knocked down by spamming the squat button. I get annoyed when people try to taunt Jason. I get annoyed when the person playing as Jason talks, etc, etc.

Add to that I generally dislike playing online, there are still the annoyances of the host rage quitting which kills the whole match, there are people who will be the last survivor and stand feet from the exit for several minutes waiting for Jason to arrive so they can dance or some dumb shit to taunt him as they escape while 6 other players sit there wasting their lives and time watching etc.

Basically, I hate people and I don't want to play with them or put up with their bullshit. I'll be perfectly content in my own little world playing offline and always being Jason. ☺

It's not the game or anything about it that has kept me from playing much lately. It's my OCD about the Jason character and my general dislike of online douchebags.

[Rudy]

LOL. People are the worst.

I'm getting more and more like that at the movie theatres. People chomping on food the whole movie, sniffling the entire time because they have a cold or whispering to their buddies every 10 minutes. Just extremely irritating. The worst was watching Thor Ragnaruk and having a mom with 2 three year olds let them run around and talk every once in awhile. Tell them to shut up! My wife actually did. It's why I never go Friday nights (teenagers dominate) and I almost never go on opening day. I usually wait awhile so the theatres are empty.

Exactly why I attempt to stay with lobbies that are only mostly or all filled with people from my friends list that I have grouped up together with in the past. That helps eliminate most of that crap.

Now, I'm guilty of a couple things. I love to taunt the hell out of Jason while he's chasing me from cabin to cabin. Nothing obscene or anything, but while I'm being chased, I like to sit there saying "hey Jason Jason Jason, hey there buddy, come on little buddy, come get some pancakes, you know you want some pancakes, come get some buddy", basic stuff like that. Just to mess their head a little bit while Jason's chasing me.

I also sometimes talk as Jason, simple stuff like "here's Jason" upon teleporting to an area where counselors are or busting through a cabin door, or chanting "dun dun dun dun dun dun dun" while chasing counselors through the woods.

As for the rest, screw that, I'm trying to live. If I'm running for the cops, the only time I'll stop is if another counselor(s) are nearby, I'll try to meet up with them and help them escape, especially if one is wounded. If Jason is nearby the cop escape, and I have a bat or knife, I'll try to draw him towards me so everyone else can escape and then try to escape myself. I tend to play as the sacrificial lamb, sacrificing myself to allow others to live or escape.

Same thing with the car. If I'm driving, I'll stop and wait for a counselor to jump if I pass any, but they best be hauling ass to the car. If they screw around, to hell with them, I'm driving on.

New Part 7 Weapon Kills DLC.

https://youtu.be/sGj3q17kYrg

[SmoothPancakes]

I gotta say, the bots don't mess around. Played one game on Crystal Lake as part 6 Jason, even with easy difficulty bots, I had my work cut out for me.

Within the first couple minutes of the game, one bot had called for Tommy while another one attempted to call the cops, which I thankfully prevented due to a failed skill check while installing the fuse.

A little closer to half way through the round, the bots got the two seat car started up and even took the off road shortcut to get on the shorter path to the main road instead of driving all the way around the long way.

Stopped the car in the middle of the road next to three cabins, then spent the next 5+ minutes trying to kill 5 different counselors in the nearby cabins while staying close to the car, because every time I left the car to chase a counselor, at least two or three other counselors would start making a run towards the car. Thank God for bear traps and throwing knives. :D

Eventually I was able to pick off and kill all 8 counselors thanks to shift grabs and throwing knife/bear trap inflicted wounds, but even on easy difficulty, it was still a challenge that took a good 12-15 minutes to accomplish.

The groundwork is pretty good for the bots but they do need some tuning. I've gone 7/7 or 8/8 on every one of about 20 matches. The first one I played on Easy, the next on Normal and every one since on Hard.

The glaring problems, as I see it:

- Mario Running
- They hide too much (even doing it while you are 5 feet away and can see them)
- They aren't stealthy enough

If they can clean those things up and tweak a few others, the bots could provide a real challenge.

In my 20ish matches they've started a car twice and called the police once.

Yeah, one counselor I got because they were running along a fence that had no breaks in it, just running along it without trying to find a place to hide and I was able to catch up to them. Got another in a cabin who was just crouched down hiding in the middle of the room in plain sight. Another got caught on some rocks and just sat there running in circles until I grabbed him. If they clean those things up and the issues you listed, it would be damn near perfect.

It already feels like playing with humans. The bots go for objectives, they waste no time trying to get the cops called, or Tommy Jarvis called in or getting the boat or car started. They use objects like normal, it was exactly as frustrating as playing with humans, grabbing a counselor only to end up shived in the throat with a pocketknife a bunch of times. Plus add in Tommy's shotgun, the map shotgun, flare guns and firecrackers being used against me.

And they even imitate humans in trying to escape like what happened for me on Crystal Lake. Instead of jumping in the two seat car and taking the long way around to the main road, they jumped in, went "off road" and jumped the gap from the long path to the short path to try and get to the main road faster just like most actual humans do in the game. So the bots will even take shortcuts just like real players do to try and escape faster.

The bots are already fun to play against. A little polishing and a couple changes and fixes on the back end or in a patch like the things you suggested, and, I hope in time, it'll feel exactly like playing against real players.

Yeah. Don't get me wrong (not that you did) I'm enjoying it. For me, just being able to fire it up and play as Jason and slaughter some motherfuckers is all I need to be content. However, if it is fleshed out a bit and some counselors can escape me sometimes it would be remarkable.

I'm glad to hear they took the car off road. I haven't seen that yet in the couple of times they got the car started. That's really good news.

Yeah, that really surprised me when they did that. I was off near a cabin, heard the car start, pulled up the map to morph and saw the car take the off road shortcut. I wasn't expecting that to be possible with bots, I figured they'd be hard wired to driving on shown roads/paths in the cars. But I sure won't complain! It has a very nice "real player" feel to it when the bots do something like that, makes it almost feel like I'm playing with a lobby of real humans.

No new content coming to F13 due to legal dispute. :mad:


Gun Media has confirmed they’ll be no new content for Friday the 13th: The Game. The decision for no new DLC has been taken out of their hands due to a legal dispute.

In a press release sent out today, the developer issued the following statement:

"As many in our community may be aware, a legal claim has been made which could affect all future Friday the 13th intellectual property. Although in the past the game has not been subject to any such claim, new content and material going forward will be affected. An initial decision in this case was expected in October 2017, but no decision has yet been issued. The court review of the legal rights is in process, but final resolution may take some time. Until the claim rights can be dismissed or resolved, no new content can be released."

This means that they’ll be no new content for Friday the 13th The Game, including play modes, new counselors and maps at any time in the future. “This includes “Uber Jason”, The Grendel Map, Jason Kill Packs, Clothing, Emotes and new Counselors,” says Gun Media.

In the statement, the developer made it clear that they still remain committed to launching dedicated servers for Friday the 13th: The Game and fixing bugs.

Well that sucks. Hopefully whatever the legal dispute is gets sorted out sooner rather than later.

Way to hurt easily the best game representation of the franchise. No one benefits in this situation.

I'd hoped the game could be kept out of this mess but now it's affected as well.

Greed, 90% of it on Victor Miller's side, is killing the franchise. That cocksucker wrote the original movie and did not think Jason was a viable character to carry on with in part 2. Now he wants to own all the rights.

This same suit has killed any new movies and now the game is fucked. Fuck Victor Miller.

I’m gonna get it. You guys spoke so highly of it so I’m intrigued. It sucks that it’s more or less a finished game at this point because of greed.

Let me know if you get on and play some multiplayer games. If I'm home and free, I'll jump on and we can run and hide from Jason together, lol.

Horror, Inc. has said that they have new projects in the works now. If I'm reading between the lines properly, they can't use Crystal Lake as the setting though. Maybe they can go back to calling it "Forest Green" ala Part VI (please no more Manhattan or outer space or other dumb locales).

All of that being said, their comments about Gun Media and the video game today did not sound very positive for any more content. We will see.
