Zombies Invade Mushroom Kingdom in Left 4 Dead Mod

[Radelaide]

Going on your continued mash up idea I would love to see one of Zombies + Pokemon Arena.

Smoker used Lick! It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!

Oooooh. I've been trying to hold off buying Left 4 Dead since L4D2 is on the horizon but this...this is tempting me back.

same here, me must be patient, ugh... i want it

My inner nerd wants to complain about the level design inaccuracies. But who gives a shit, this is really cool. God I love custom content.

This is what modders do when they don't have any original ideas.

Originality is over rated, and almost entirely impossible these days.

I know it's pretty much impossible to make something and not hit at least half a dozen tropes [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VideogameTropes], but come on... ripping the levels straight out of Mario 64? That's just pathetic.

........why?

It's just a level somebody made for fun. It's not like they are forcing you to play the level. It's not like having levels like this somehow ruins the other levels. Plenty of people make unique custom content.

I have to agree with that, no matter what you make and how much individual thought effort you put into it, someone will point at it and say it was ripped off from such-n-such. However, it is the first publicized map for L4D based off another game, so there's a bit of originality there.
Edit: It is just one chapter, taking the survivors into Bom-bom land or whatever its called. Once it fails to load the next chapter, you are back in the safe room. Stand on the grate in the floor and whack it for a surprise!

Nothing...new

Adding zombie-fied little critters and man tall mutated insects, AKA rotting Pokemon? ;p

SMB3 Airships anyone?

Wonder what those cannons would do for that.... Or can you pick up a flamethrower there, maybe?

dude thats so cool
i want to play in the death star with some undead

Hahaha X3 Add Force powers into the weapons pool, too?

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Pleaaase. for the love of god PLEASE tell me I can jump on the zombies to kill them.

This may be the best abuse of Super Mario 64 since I saw someone in one of my classes mod an emulator of the game to make it look like the castle was a log cabin and Mario was Abraham Lincoln.

I so want to play that.

So easy to be a critic, isn't it?


I also, was waiting for L4D2, but...

Been done. A lot.

Actually... yes, yes it is. Ripping a level straight out of another game sucks, period.

It's actually quite fun to play. There are some things in it that surprised me, like I could bash my head on a floating block and break it to get a pipe bomb. There are some parts of it that are a bit empty though. There's a lot of wasted space, but it was still fun. Too bad it's only 1 level. I made a vid of a playthrough of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXY03hyGu44

Note: I'm not trying to "advertise" my video, as that would incite admin wrath. I made the playthrough vid of this level solely for people on the escapist to see the full level without having to download it themselves. If posting the vid broke a rule, kindly remove it - I think it's relevant to the thread.

The point I was trying to make seemed to have missed the mark. At the risk of sounding like a child, "I don't see you doing anything better."

Yes because he totally hooked up his N64 cartridge to his computer and through the magic of the Internet got all the artwork, textures, and level design to port effortlessly into Hammer. No wait, he built that in a cave with a box of scraps. He took a look at something admittedly cutesy and thought "man it'd be funny if there were zombies in this." So that's what he did. And he had to script it too. It's not like you can just wave your hand and boom, there's a bunch of infected with all the director events planned out. Yes it's as close to a 1:1 recreation as you can get (and there are obvious parts I can point out that are not the exact same as the original castle) but that doesn't make it "bad" or "pathetic". In fact if anything it's unoriginal for being a deconstruction that's been done over and over, but then again so is everything else. Personally I fail to see your logic, and that's probably because I myself am also a level designer. So I know that even something that's built to resemble or even duplicate a pre-existing environment is not a small task by any means.

And I really hate to play this card but since you're so adamant that it's pathetic, I suggest you make something "better"; and if you can't then I suggest you either tone down your vitriol a bit or just let it go.

 

[Takoto]

Aha, that's actually a pretty good idea.

How many hours of your day did you lose on the Tropes today?

This actauly has peeked my interest.

After watching the video, I have to agree that it's pretty awesome.
