I'm still unsure about all of this.
It looks awesome, and I'll probably buy it, but...this is unlike Valve.
I still can't believe this is coming out so soon...
I'll read any blog that has Left 4 Dead 2 in the title.
Thanks for posting this. I love Left 4 Dead.
I haven't even played the original but it's easy to see this is coming out too soon. I'll probably still get it though.
looks like l4d 1.5 but I like the new gameplay additions
There's also a cool Assassin's Creed 2 trailer on IGN. Ezio uses a gun!
I can dig it. Nice way to mix it up
It should have just been DLC.
Nah, I think it warrants being a sequel.
It is an entirely new 5 campaign game, built on the same engine, improving conventions set in the original. Half Life 2 and its proceeding episodes were all built on the same engine, with the same characters, continuing a storyline and furthering character development.
Left4Dead2 is a completely new set of characters and backstory, brand new locations, completely new gameplay conventions such as changing the layout of a level dynamically and day/night cycle. Not to mention all new weapons, as well as more special infected.
I agree, releasing it a year after the original is a little iffy,especially when so much is expected of Valve, but I think the changes they've made and the work they've done creating a brand new setting with new and unique characters deserves its own pedestal.
Bill!
Billlllllllllllllllllllllllll!
I miss Billlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll...
My expectations for Left4Dead were: we are going to see the second big title once Valve has a new engine in about a couple of years. In the meantime DLC and support for Left4Dead that is a great game.
I just feel that they are making this into a milk cow.
That axe takes care of fuckin' business.
One of the largest selling points for my friends and I were the expectation that Valve would periodically add features to L4D along its lifetime.
The Director Engine addons listed at the end of your blog are precisely what should have been done as DLC for the first game. I don't care at all about the characters; the modding community has several top-notch full campaigns in the works.
What's worse is the first game's mod tools aren't even officially fully released yet, and it's about to be outdated by its successor in under a year...
Considering that each campaign has 4-5 maps making it up, that brings the total maps to about 25.
You folks pay for map packs all the time, this is that and muuuuch much more.
Also, if you read the IGN article, they talk about bringing L4D into L4D2 so there is no need to swap games.
People really need to shut the fuck about how this is too soon, it should have been DLC, etc. It's too much content to be a DLC package. Who cares if it's too soon? If you knew a brand new Left 4 Dead experience was coming soon, and couldn't wait to play it, would you rather wait until next november? Would that make you happy?
