Left 4 dead 2...odd coincidence (ZP reference)

[Davidmcawesome]

Recall Yahtzee`s statement at the end of his review of Legend of Zelda phantom hourglass?
How if valve did... well EXACTLY what he mentioned? I just found this a bit strange and yet, ironic.

 

[Pimppeter2]

We haen't all memorized his reviews. Want to tell us what your talking about?

Hmm..No Valve did not release Half Life with better graphics....

I don't know what the exact quote is, but going by oliveira's comment, I would say that no, there's norhing ironic. Saying that L4D2 is just L4D with better graphics is kinda stupid to me.

To clarify what Yatzhee says is:

"Imagine if Valve released Half Life and then a couple of years later release Half Life with the same story but with better graphics.Everyone would go nuts and"...something about sending Gabe into a a mental institute.

The thing is that L4D2 is not the same game as L4D.

L4D2 is just not a reskin of L4D(till the game gets released I'll stand by these facts.) You got major overhaul to the games gameplay, new weapons with special type of bullets and mechanics, common uncommon Infected, Melee weapons, new special Infected, new mechanics to the existing special infected, more campaigns, versus, Survivor and I think they also mentioned a new game mode(Not sure about that), improved and more evil AI Director and most likely a new Source Engine update.

Its just alot of stuff to make to put out as free DLC. If Valve would make that DLC payable there would be even more boycott groups.

The better option would be an expansion, but what if the new mechanics ruin the already existing client?

Anyway when the game gets released, we are finally going to see if L4D2 is worth the full price or it should have just been an expansion pack.

I must admit, if I find a citrus bazooka in the developer's kit, I will shit a brick.

What are these new special infected? All I saw was a few melee weapons, some bullets that set enemies on fire (which provides no additional lighting because Valve are lazy.)and a new map set in the sun set. Along with the obvious new character models.

*snip*

Did you miss the Charger? Or the fire proof infected?

All you saw was 8 minutes of playtime of one map of a game currently in development.

Is the game being released tomorow? No. Its still 5 months away.(If they manage to release the game by then this is...).

Theres alot of L4D2 we haven't seen yet and just heard.

Thank you! Finally someone reasonable about the whole damn thing.
Also OP:Your post was very...."splurted" (I made up a word to represent how it felt reading it).

Nah, kind of like my eyes were leaky.

That'd be the Black Mesa fan mod. It's pretty epic looking.

 

[Knight Templar]

I made that joke to a friend, but that was before any details were available. I don't think we're getting screwed over.

 

[Kadamon]

Wait, DIDN'T they just basically re-release Half Life with better graphics with the PS1? o_0

 

[cleverlymadeup]

they've re-released it with the newer engine they made instead of the original modified quake 2 engine the game was originally made on
