UPDATE: Microsoft Announces Left 4 Dead 2
- Thread starter Susan Arendt
- Start date
Looks like I get to blow my first post in escapist forums on this thread (pleasedon'thurtme)
I bought L4D maybe 3 months after it was released, played mainly campaign until another 2 months - because versus gave me the impression of griefing hilarity (and mainly because I'm a girly pansy), and loved it ever since. Even if Valve's trying to pull this crap on the general populace so early in an attempt to rake in more money, it's got me sold.
I guess it's a little like Nintendo - they're so popular they can slap their logo on a fork and sell it for over a grand (alright, I might be exaggerating there just a little bit, but I've got both the DS lite and a Wii at home, so go figure). If Valve keeps churning out awesome games like this, I don't care how fast they come. Just as long as I have my hot little hands on their copy of L4D2 within a month or 2 after its release, I'll die (semi)happy. I can't wait to try out the chainsaw.
That other thing being I've never really played any of the half-life series, so I'm far too ignorant as to why it should come out before L4D2, which in my oblivious opinion is far better than any single-player shooter.
*Waits for angry posts?*

Ooooh what if there's an Orange Box 2?
I know it's unlikely but maybe Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, and Half Life 2: Episode 3.
How awesome would that be?

yes, of course it is, but. What they should have done is to hold the release of L4D half a year more, and include this update in it.II Vincent II said:

They don't have a "we started this first, we'll finish it first" policy, they let the employees choose which projects they work on. If no-one would prefer to work on HL2Ep3 rather than L4D2, the former will not get made.karl_eller said:
As soon as they finished the first, they probably started working on the second, is it so hard to believe an announcement would come this soon? It's only a trailer anyway, you dont know how far into development this is. I for one am looking forward to the sequel.
Well what about this.....remember that its all in the same world with the zombie apocalypse over (maybe) interlapping time periods......so imagine it like they combine to create one huge game....maybe if you have both games there will be an option in the menu where you can select "L4D2, or L4D"
Who cares at least we get to chainsaw a tank ^.^

Good thing I didn't get L4D1 yet.
I guess I'll just wait for this one instead of buying the first.
Oh, and the guy at then end of the trailer with the frying pan as a weapon, ha.

Because it has a lot lower requirements than CSS and it has basically the same content, doesn't require Steam installed... and for many people, it's easier to install it (textures from CS 1.6 take less space).DragunovHUN said:
L4D2 comes out A YEAR after the first game. Come on, there was only one DLC... That's like making a new Team Fortress instead of adding content with patches.
A dick move is still a dick move.
I expect more than 50% will buy the sequel, I probably will and most players I know will.Abedeus said:
Here I think we're seeing a type of 'episodic' gaming. Rather than having DLC that is tied into the first game we're given a fresh setting with new features.
L4D has been almost constantly updated. They made the Survival Mode and altered two mission for versus mode, if that's not new content then what is?
Valve will keep working on fixes for L4D just not as vigorously as there's not that much left to fix.
Don't forget that this is a short game. Re-playable but short. If you haven't seen everything in it by now then you're obviously not that into it.
No it's not because you can still play L4D as much as you want.
CoD 3 was an abomination.Ashbax said:
And they are not Multiplayer-based games. They have potent single-player.[/quote]#
So, Left 4 Dead is a different type of game. Is there some sort of rule that games companies can only bring out sequels after a minimum of two years? I prefer it this way, bring on L4D 2, just don't forget HL2 Epidsode 3.
This is very un Valve-like. I think this title would have worked better as an expansion pack. Still, it will be fun to play as Uncle Phil.
