Gabriel Constantin Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Left 4 Dead is an upcoming multiplayer co-operative survival horror first-person shooter game by Valve Corporation. The game has been built using Valve's Source engine and will be available on Microsoft Windows and the Xbox 360. Left 4 Dead pits four human playable or AI controlled survivors of an apocalyptic pandemic against hordes of zombie-like, aggressive "Infected". The Survivors' goal is to help each other make it through various scenarios to safety. The Infected are controlled by an AI that dynamically balances difficulty and mood depending on the players' progress and situation. In an alternate game mode, human players can control up to four mutated Boss Infected with special abilities and cooperate to stop the Survivor players. The expected release date for Left 4 Dead is November 4, 2008 for North America and November 7 in the EU. The survivors (original design). Left to right: Louis, Francis, Zoey, Bill. Shame this will be a X-Box 360 exclusive! I might just buy a 360 in order to play all these exclusive zombie games. Anybody else looking forward to this game?

Dallasa Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 There was a rumor that EA is going to make a port for the PS3, but it hasn't been confirmed or denied (has it?). It looks pretty good, probably will be worth owning, but not enough to make me buy a 360. Hopefully EA ports it over because I would enjoy playing this.

I would never buy a console for the sake of a single game. Though there a host of 360 exclusives that would help persuade me to buy a X-Box. Games like Dead Rising, Dead Island & this one should be interesting and help fill my unholy zombie lust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakorama Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Just watched a game play video, so It's a first person shooter where the zombies sprint? It just looked like a bunch of pissed off people trying to kill you. and by the looks of it all you can use is guns... boring! But I guess I should at least rent and give it a try when it's out.

Machida Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 These types of games are usually quite fun. I just wonder how the AI is going to turn out. It's this part i'd be worried about, "The Survivors' goal is to help each other make it through various scenarios to safety" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox09 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 and by the looks of it all you can use is guns... boring! As opposed to...? I really like how the gameplay is more focused on teamplay, and working together. If you get a good group together, this game could be hella fun, but you just know there's going to annoying twats who try to ruin it. Hopefully there'll be some kind of votekick implemented.

I believe there is, plus, you get rewards and demerits for good and bad team based actions, they stay with you, so people can tell how you play. At least, I think it works that way.

Just because one zombie game allows you to use a guitar as a weapon, doesn't mean it should be the standard for all zombie games. I'm getting left4dead cause the co-op WILL be what I'm looking for. I don't really care if I can use a toothpick to kill zombies, this game is going back to basics and it looks like hotness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakorama Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I wasn't saying it was it was not a good game because of that, I was saying I wouldn't enjoy it because of that. If you like it that's no skin off my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like it that's no skin off my back. It's just the way you said it. "you can only use guns..." well if there was a zombie outbreak or something a guitar or a soccer ball wouldn't be my first choice of weapons. I know that that game was good, but this game is different, it's not as comical as that game was so only serious weapons are included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakorama Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) Yeah, good luck with your guitar. Well the zombies in this game are the "sprinting" kind so they'll have to use guns. I'm more into the ones where they're in huge numbers and shamble about, Thats when you get out a guitar.

Do I really have to say more? Yeah man, Counterstrike, Day of Defeat, Half Life, Portal and Team Fortress all suck balls. This game is guaranteed to kick ass, and plus you'll never play the same level twice due to the AI system (or The Director or whatever its called) spawning the zombies in different places and different amounts depending on how you play.

Do we need to enter a lobby to to play co-op? None of my friends are interested in this game so it's going to be hard getting a co-op game started.

kingvercetti Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'll definitely be picking this up on PC the day it comes out, just the fact that it's zombies with multiplayer is enough to sell it to me, couple that with the fact that it's a Valve game and runs on Source. I can see some funny times on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werven Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) An FPS about zombies? Ill pass, but I might get it if its ratings are good. EDIT: I just watched the trailer, and it looks like a sh*tty FPS like all the others, just with zombies, and the graphics... well... suck.

Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The graphics just look bad, like a poor '90s PC game. And the unbelievable action/violence looks tiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptiste Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 The graphics just look bad, like a poor '90s PC game. And the unbelievable action/violence looks tiring. What kind of GTA gamer are you if violence gets tiring? Im just thinking of the co-op fun with my friends and the ability to play as a zombie online. Graphics as long as they don't burn my eyes I really don't care for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Constantin Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 The only problem I have with this game, so far, is the "higher tier" zombies. Like the big brutish zombies we saw in the movies, they seem more suited to games like Resident Evil than ones like this. I always prefer my zombie games to be realistic as possible.
