Re: Left 4 Dead
Are we talking split screen co-op as well, or online only?

Re: Left 4 Dead
Left 4 Dead now due in late summer.
...
Left 4 Dead on ShackCast 26
...From 11:30-16:50, they discuss Valve's evolution as a force in the game industry, the acquisition of TRS, and what the acquisition means for Left 4 Dead. Starting at 25 minutes in and going until 33:20, Aaron Linde and Chris Faylor discuss their trip to Valve and their impressions of the game.
"I loved it, I was really impressed. ..I've never played a game that so wonderfully realizes co-operative play. It's not like Halo co-op, which is just 'let's run around and shoot some crap', it's a game that is better built for co-op because it's built for co-op." -Aaron Linde
"There were definitely elements of 28 Days Later and the Dawn of the Dead remake. There was a point when Linde and I were walking through an open cornfield and it was one of the scariest ****ing moments I've ever had in any game." -Chris Faylor
When asked about the game's visuals, they said that character models and environments are incredible, and go into detail about the emotions in the character's faces. On the other side, they said that some graphical things were rough such as the cornstalks. Some other topics include the voice system, map design (specifically Cornfield), and the release date. To sum up the game:
"It's the utter culmination of zombie game and you wonder why the hell somebody hasn't done this sooner." -Chris Faylor

Re: Left 4 Dead
New Hands-On Preview
If you're a fan of zombies and co-op and find yourself inescapably gleeful at the prospect of combining one with the other, you've probably watched the development of Valve's Left 4 Dead with great anticipation. I'm right there with you. And like me, your expectations might be extremely--even unfairly--high. But the experience itself is so thoroughly realized, so well composed, that once you get your hands on Left 4 Dead you'll wonder how we ever put up with anything less.Having peeked at an impressions post or two, I had an idea of what to expect from Left 4 Dead's ground-up cooperative design, but it's an altogether different experience when sampled firsthand. An embodiment of the Valve design philosophy, almost every element of gameplay is geared towards emphasis of teamwork, though none is so tailored as the interplay between the human players and the walking dead that hunt them. While a single human player can handle a sizable group of zombies well enough alone, the real risk of breaking away from the pack is coming face to face with a "boss" zombie, the consequences of which was our first hard lesson in Left 4 Dead. Just a single level in, the rules of the game were clear: Stay together to stay alive.Cooperative play has grown in leaps and bounds over the last few years, but no game has refined and developed the experience so completely as we've seen in this early build of Left 4 Dead. The foundation for an unforgettable experience is definitely there. Though the game is still very unfinished--animation and sound bugs, and the occasional curious gameplay quirk, pop up from time to time--the hardest work, building that memorable experience, is already done.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

Re: Left 4 Dead
One thing that bugs me is it looks like the zombies are running. I'm the type of dude that likes my zombies to kinda trudge along with a limp. I'm all for zombie beasts running around at mach 2 and everything, but I like my zombie humans to be slow as hell.Comment

Re: Left 4 Dead
This game does look good, but I do agree with Kenyon that the zombies are running like their from 28 Days, etc.Comment

Re: Left 4 Dead
I'm glad Turtle Rock Studios and Valve went the 28 Days Later route. There's to many other games with slow lumbering zombies and it's about time somebody went another direction. Plus it just fits with an FPS game. Trying to survive a screaming, raging mob of zombies running full tilt at your team is going to be an incredibly chaotic, intense, and visceral experience.Last edited by Flawless; 01-18-2008, 11:31 PM.Go Noles!!! >>----->Comment

Re: Left 4 Dead
Yes you are probably right about it being better for the overall experience because that's usually a staple of the FPS genre, but to me it will lose a little bit of immersion. I just prefer my zombies one way over the other, the fast ones aren't even like zombies to me, they're just like really angry bloody dudes which will probably flatten the experience for me. I hope it's a great game and everything, but I didn't really like Resident Evil 4 because they changed the zombies. But ultimately it's alright because its a FPS game. If Dead Rising 2 comes out with these 28 days later bastards all over the place I will cry though.
Also, in any of these previews does it say anything about split screen?Comment
