I’ll be around later tonight if people would like to try and get some private matches going? You can add people on steam via profiles right?
or just search EVER BRAVE GENOME.
If you still have a code today I wouldn’t mind, AYO_Merc on steam. Have a Joseph Joestar avatar I believe.
Mainly want to test how my PC runs it, and see the progress made.
@AYO?!: pm sent.
Gaddam I’m bad at this game. Tfw you’re Tommy and you let Jason get too close you end up shooting through him lol, feels bad man. On the plus side I did manage to get 3 counselors right at the police escape point after almost going through the entire match at 0 kills. Anyway, still getting used to the game but it’s been a lot of fun, any strats would be appreciated (for both Jason and the counselors). Btw what do flares and firecrackers do? I’ve seen ppl use them but they still seem useless.
EDIT: Manx and Fatal check your check your pms
Flares show Jason on the map to other players if he’s close enough and firecrackers can confuse Jason’s sense ability iirc.
I’ve had a really annoying bug happen to me where the camera stays fixed on the campfire after the introduction cutscene and I’m not sure of a way to make the camera snap back to the player, even Jason’s long range teleport didn’t get around it.
Been trying to get a code for a while. Anyone can hook me up?
Viren, thanks for following up on that. I greatly appreciate the kind gesture you did. Much appreciated buddy. I won’t forget this and hope to reward you with a key to a game of your interest in the future.
Just had a couple of decent games, managed to get 5/6 kills with Jason so I’m pretty happy with that. Vanessa is such a pain in the arse to chase down. dragged her ass out a car window and put my thumbs through her eyes. Someone thought they were clever by crossing the lake so I tele’d to the other side, walked under and pulled him down.
Man this game is so fun when it works, I’m really excited for the full release, if they polish it up well enough.
I need to report a couple of things on the official forums though. Like any stuttering completely fucks Jason’s Shift(?) ability, you’ll over shoot your target by so much and miss your cancel into attack and obviously the camera bug.
Thanks again for the code Viren!
EDIT
tips on how to handle your characters fear (fear is one of the ways Jason can sense you):
>Decreases fear
-Being on a road or trail
-Turning on your flash light
-Being in a light such as a street light
-Being inside
-Holding a weapon
-Fortifying (THIS IS A HUGE ONE. You can drop your fear by 50% just from locking and barricading a door.)
-Finding items
-Being in a group (This stacks so the more people the better.)
-Finding an item
-Repairing
-Performing an objective
>Things that increase fear that you can control
-Being alone
-Being off a trail such as being in the woods or graveyard
-Being in a house when the power is off
-Finding a dead body (You can normally see them a ways off but it wont trigger until you get close)
-Not having a weapon and being outside
^Hey thanks for the tips! Agree with you on Vanessa. Really feels bad when you get looped by her in a cabin while everybody else escapes, though I’d probably chalk that up to my own inexperience. I don’t get many opportunities to play Jason so I still have the jitters when I do; shifting is still something I need to get the hang of.
It’s funny that you mentioned grabbing her out of a car; was spectating a match where this Jason stopped a car with three Vanessas and a Jenny. Grabbed the driver (Vanessa) through the window and executed her. Chaos ensued; two of the passengers attempted to re-start the car but were too flustered, as a result Jason executed all three of them. He then proceeded into the woods and caught the last one that fled, it was glorious.
Also agree on the bugs but I guess that’s to be expected from a beta. Regardless, I’d specifically caution the use of hiding in closets as I got stuck in them about four times last night.
Fatal, appreciate it man but please don’t sweat it. I’ve been on the receiving end of SRK’s generosity as well, so I don’t mind giving out something that’s of no use to me, if it can benefit someone else. Anyway, think this is the last day (24th) for the beta so get your games in fellas!
I cannot wait to play this when I get home from work tonight, and all damn day tomorrow.
Thanks, @viren
:tup:
They could do an interesting concept with Jason goes to Hell if they plan to incorporate more.
Have the little Jason Parasite kill people and take them over, creating a more paranoid environment. Maybe an alternate win condition to destroy his heart on the map forcing the Jason player to keep tabs on it. Then again mics kill this concept dead.
Also Jason X and a Space Station stage. Tina as a Tommy option could work, throw psychic hands at Jason.
Damn. Grabbing this game on console.
quite surprised how fun this game actually is. I miss it. if you know what you’re doing as a counsellor there’s plenty of ways to escape. it gets pretty interesting once you get over the panic of actually playing it and styart thinking more strategically about stamina, environmental stealth, knowing when you should search a house and how to navigate it without becoming trapped. brilliant game
Playing as Jason is all mind games. So much fun. I got 5/7 my first time, and I think the only reason I didn’t get the other two was because the other counselors killed them. 
Is that even possible? It said I got 5/7 but the other two were murdered.
Anyhow, they had no chance once I figured out what objectives they were going for. Then again, they didn’t really work together as a team. Voice chat is a MUST in this game. I chased around on counselor for about 3 mins uncontested once she used her pen on me. Basically toyed with her and used her as a way to practice the Jason mechanics. No one ever came to save her.
Fun game, but I can see it getting boring really, really quickly.
:tup:
there is friendly fire in this game. You can accidentally blast another counselor with the shot gun for a 1 hit ko
priceless moments. they are developing it right and making it fun, worlds great improvement compared to the prealpha version. they are adding single player, but the counselors deserve their own SP version of the multiplayer as well
some current details. guess its expected to release next month? well it can depend on certification, which can be a pain with the different regions and their guidelines.
could be 20 to 30 gigabytes
actually 2.3 gigabytes
lots of people are raging

oh well, maybe Samurai Shodown IV will be on PS4 before that
