GTFO now has matchmaking and “layered difficulty”

GTFO, the carbon monoxide gas-op game about skulking into the depths of a terrific underground complex, and and then doing what it says on the box, has just released Summation 004, which brings with IT new levels, new enemies, and new environments the way preceding rundowns have done. But it's likewise bringing with it 2 huge new features: in-gritty matchmaking, and something developer 10 Chambers is calling 'layered difficulty.'

Since its Early Access found last December, GTFO has relied on third-party matchmaking to fill in its four-person squads. That's ordinarily been handled at the authorised GTFO Discord server, which now has more than 200,000 members. You would hop on the server, jumpstart into one of the voice chat rooms, and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba everyone know you were looking for a group. Once you had amassed a team, you could head into the depths to explore and hopefully escape together, reanimated.

"As GTFO requires a great deal of communication and teamwork, we haven't wanted to function a BASIC match-making arrangement, as it could generate pathetic matches and take chances generous bran-new players the wrong experience", said Simon Viklund, GTFO's composer and level house decorator. "We're starting off with it in alpha mode and will continue to originate IT iteratively As we go happening to see how it works with the volume of players we have."

Here's a new drone for Striking, Rundown 004:

We harbor't however had a run a risk to test the new matchmaking organisation, then it's unsurmountable to say how well it works when you're teamed up with random squadmates. However, it's been a feature that players have been desperate for since the horror plot launched last year, and as 10 Chambers says, it's bound to evolve over prison term.

Summation 004 also introduces 'superimposed difficultness' to GTFO. Kind of than selecting a difficulty storey at the outset of an expedition, the challenge you'll encounter is determined by the path you select as you move forward. "Depending on what route road you choose throughout some of the expeditions, you breakthrough it either very hard – or highly hard," says Ulf Andersson, GTFO's creative director. "This volition pull in it easier – operating room should I suppose, little strong – for spick-and-span players to take over GTFO, but at the same clip giving our more seasoned community members a hardcore challenge right from the prototypal despatch."

At long last, 10 Chambers have brought aboard Adam Gascoine, a warhorse of Doomsday, Doom Unending, and The Finis of United States, to help fill come out GTFO's backstory and lore. What we'll be seeing out of that collaboration is American Samoa yet a mystery, but 10 Chambers says this Rundown is called 'Get hold of' for a reason. OH, good.

You can buy into GTFO Early Access on Steam. As we noted, IT's a unmitigated prize for the Allhallows Eve season. Whatever you do,Don't wake them up.
