Made by the folks behind Vermintide and I loved that, so its straight onto my wishlist !

That's exactually what the Vermintide games are, with a heavy enthasis on melee combat.
Honestly, If you love L4D, you need to have a look at them.

And its only £4.99 on cdkeys at the moment too

No single player in this then?

Probably the same single player as Vermintide and Left 4 Dead , ie. You and 3 bots

This may be sacrilege, but I found the Vermintide games much more enjoyable then L4D.

I'm with you on this

Loved the Vermintide games and they've been very well supported post release too with content, so I'm well up for this

I've played both Vermintide games and enjoyed them both, but I did play with my brother and best mate - which is how these should be played IMO.

Hmm...well thats awkward because I dont know your brother and best mate.

Did anybody else get a beta invite for Darktide for this weekend?

Tombstone · 14 Oct 2022 at 16:32

Just gave it a spin and its really good, this is going to be a right laugh with a bunch of mates

Tombstone · 14 Oct 2022 at 17:18

That look terrible, I ran mine on high settings and it looked WAY better than that

Tombstone · 14 Oct 2022 at 17:27

Same settings as me, except that I have Motion Blur and DoF turned off and I'm in 1440

Tombstone · 14 Oct 2022 at 23:49

This is going to be great with friends, its a bit hectic with strangers because they just seem to want to speed through the levels as fast as possible, whereas I would prefer to take it slower and really look around the levels, hopefully at release we can create private groups even if there is only 3 of us at the time (preferably without a bot filling the 4th slot)

It's killing my 3080 at 1440p. turn on the RT (lowish) and I'm having to go to performance DLSS to hit 60fps, but yeah its a preorder for me

Dont forget its on MS Gamepass on day one, so if you have gamepass its effectively "free"

Tombstone · 12 Nov 2022 at 15:58

I was just going to pick this up on Gamepass but I am increasingly thinking that I will opt to buy it on Steam

On those dates watch a Twitch streamer playing Darktide (will usually have DROPS in their title) for the allotted time and you'll get a 'drop'

Or do what I do, dont watch the streamer, just have the twitch app running on your phone streaming it and stick your phone to one side and play your games. Gets you all the drops without having to watch 1 minute of the streamers

So what exactly is this game? Is it a left 4 dead type game just in the warhammer universe?

Essentially yes. Vermintide was left 4 dead type game set in the Warhammer universe, Darktide is left 4 dead type game set in the Warhammer 40k universe.

No sign of this on gamepass yet?

6pm I believe

Tombstone · 30 Nov 2022 at 19:25

Installed fine for me via gamepass, runs well enough, no crashes yet.
