I don't know why Valve would joke with us like this. I mean, I'm not complaining. It's looking awesome. Here's what I think happened: Source UPDATED. MAJORLY. What better way to test the new engine than to a game with tons of stuff on screen at once? Obviously DLC can't give us a completely new engine (basically a new game), so it's easier on them and those that wouldn't be able to run it by making a new game entirely.
Still, it's quite strange. Valve DOES take forever to make things. Sure, they probably have a lot of programming and concepts done due to the first one, but you think it would take at least 1 more year before they did this.

Go to http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ , they have an audio interview with a designer and a preview. It explains a lot.
You know what I think? I think that the reason why L4D took as long as it did was because they basically had to develop the engine it was going to run on, and for the sequels, since they had the engine, the massively overwhelming positive response, the sheer amount of effort that the Valve guys put into their games, it was much easier than making the first, and they could just feel free to add everything that was missing in L4D Uno.wordsmith said:
That's just my opinion, anyway.
Well we always knew that. I just never saw them pulling a dick move like this.CantFaketheFunk said:Guys, it's not a joke. Sometimes you just have to face facts. Valve wants to make money like every other company out there.
Ok, ok, maybe it's a bit soon to be making assumptions yet. Maybe Left 4 Dead 2 will be worth £60-£50. It just feels like Left 4 Dead would have so much wasted protential. We're probably only going to get 1, maybe 2 DLC packs after this if we're lucky, and that feels like such a HUGE waste when you look at what Valve have done for TF2.
But it is Valve right. They say November the 17th. That means November the 17th 2014 if they're quick about it.
Nov 17th, I notice you didn't say 2009, this being a Valve game and all...
I'm actually a little worried about this, mainly because Microsoft announced it and not Mr Newell's crew. Microsoft getting directly involved never bodes well. On the other hand, it's another Valve shooter, awesome.

This is coming out exclusively for Windows and Xbox http://www.destructoid.com/e3-09-left-4-dead-2-officially-announced-134320.phtml
Used to be norm? WHEN? Games took years to develop, because there were less gamers than today.harhol said:
It's kind of a big deal, since a lot of people have bought the L4D even recently after the free weekend and price cuts, and now after November the game will be another abandoned title, because a sequel came out.
I don't think CSS came out one year after CS 1.6.DragunovHUN said:

That's what I'm supposed ot say in response to this, am I right?
Nah, this trailer looks awesome and I love the running out of bullets sequence... Hopefully the new survivors will have the right amount of character. Not that the trailer completely rules out Bill, Francis and friends still being around.

I'm glad I never bought the first L4D, not that I really cared for it when I played a demo. Maybe L4D2 (sounds like a StarWars droid) will be different, but from the trailer and news so far it doesn't look like it will be.
I'll still give L4D2 a shot, but I'll be apprehensive to buy it knowing that L4D3 could come out in half a year. XD

looks fake and rather offensive, whit the heavy accent and the hill billy tank, and the idea of chainsaws although admittedly considered a must in everything zombie related seems rather stupid, whit the endless ammo guns only a n00b would pull out a melee weapon.
judging from what have been leaked and this trailer here it seems the new game will offer nothing more than new levels and new skins that seems unnecessary , imo thats what a downloadable package is for, not enough to make people buy a new game.
