Ok, I guess I'll start the thread, mostly for hepcat.



Already listed on STEAM

And YK. YK is a fellow fan of that cult classic. I believe we both own it on Blu Ray.*



*Brian may as well. He's also weird like YK and I. At the very least, he's a fan too.

I'm a fan of the Klowns too.

[hepcat]

Whoo hoo, dbt is one of us!

[Smoove_B]

I guess I know why there's now a game coming out. All you sekret Klown fans.

For years, my old college housemates and I would greet each other with “What’ya gonna do with those pies…boys”.

Also, the soundtrack by the Dickies (the lesser American version of the Buzzcocks) is a classic.

Correct. I actually own it on DVD and Blu-ray.

This could be fun. I'm currently playing the ARMY OF DARKNESS game with a group of friends who I played the FRIDAY THE 13TH game with, and we're having a blast. For those who did try Friday the 13th and didn't like it, ARMY OF DARKNESS is a much superior game. Deeper mechanics, deeper upgrade system, and MUCH higher polish.

I'm not a fan of asymmetrical games in general, but they can be a lot of fun if you have the right group.

I saw the thread clicked on that first video and was slightly disappointed that the music wasn't that classic 3-ring circus inspired guitar riff.

"asymmetric"? Are these the 4 vs 1 games? Or something else?

That's correct. Think 'Dead by Daylight' type mechanics generally but Friday the 13th had updates to the formula that expanded the scope. It's not as claustrophobic IMO for instance.

[TheMix]

Thanks. I thought so, but wasn't sure.

Another trailer



The game releases 4 Jun 24.

[Smoove_B]

Coming soon! Actual release is 6/4 (as noted above) but apparently you can purchase it now and start playing.

Who could have imagined back in the 80s that this would become a PC game?

Probably many people, because everything is considered to be made into a game. For example:

[hepcat]

Please don't compare the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space to such drivel. KKfOS is the GODDAMN CITIZEN KANE of alien clown movies!

[Smoove_B]

It does kinda feel like it was long overdue for a video game treatment.

Actually it was a bit of a compliment. If The Noid can get video game treatment, it's way past time for Killer Klowns. edit: what Smoove said.

[hepcat]

CITIZEN KANE, i tell ya!

Roseklown? Klownbud? Roseklownbud?

There's been some talk over the years that Scorsese's Goodfellas was a direct rip off of Killer Klowns from Outer Space. They do share a lot of similarities, you have to admit. For one thing, it came after KKfOS.
