The Canceled Division 9 Was Left 4 Dead Before Valve Did It

That was my first though. I didn't even know Irrational Games made SWAT 4, but I sure as hell loved that game. Immediately recognized the in-game menu and some of the visuals and actions though.Furburt said:
Some of the things are one hell of a coincidence though... Like the "pipe bomb" to serve as a decoy with the loud noise, the "helicopter rescue", car alarms, the whole setup really.
That said, yes the slow movement would probably drive me mad, and the zombies don't seem particularly... Challenging... They're slow and go down considerably fast. In the whole video I don't think I saw a survivor be hit once.
On the other hand, based on SWAT 4 as evidence, I'll say this: Irrational knows how to make one scary as hell game... Some missions on SWAT 4 were total mindfucks, and I mean some seriously scary shit... Would have loved to see their approach to the genre.
Not sure if anyone said it yet, but the one part of the level is EXACTLY the same as a level in SWAT 4
Exactly what I was going to say. It's not like there's a time limit. Go back and make this even better then what it looks with today's tech now.BerserkrRage said:
Interesting, SWAT 4 with zombies. I would've liked to have played it, but probably wouldn't have been willing to shell out more than $5. As the posters said before me, it looks like a mod.
Getting Bioshock out of it's loss wasn't even a tradeoff, it was a miracle.

looks Decent...I mean, maybe you could walk a little FASTER there jim, I mean i'm sure those helicopter people were looking down and saying "why the hell is he so slow? he must be a zombie, lets get the hell outta here!" But I mean, the idea of not having food, surrounded by hordes of slow moving, flesh eating monsters? sounds fun.
I think the slow moving speed would just piss me off. I don't like realistic zombie games anyway, I love how Left 4 Dead has that funny style of just running and gunning.
I feel that Division 9 looks very different compared to Left 4 Dead and probably plays different too. I can't say that I like the slow walking pace the player seems to be locked into, but there were times when I was playing Left 4 Dead and I wanted a separate mode where the infected would be slower zombies and pistols didn't have unlimited ammunition. Most of all I like the idea of how the players are expected to search the city for supplies to help fortify a position and go around completing missions as opposed to simply moving forward as in Left 4 Dead. If this is an example of a "open-world zombie sandbox" game I would definitely give it a try.
