Left 4 Dead 3 and Source 2 Confirmed By Valve Leak

A picture taken of an internal change log at Valve has leaked Left 4 Dead 3 and Source 2.

[maniacmayhem]

Oh hells yeah! Left 4 Dead has to be the most fun I have had this whole generation. I am really hoping for some more paths and more objectives.

I hope this is really true.

[georgeenoob]

ANOTHER Xbox exclusive to be announced at Gamesom!

[HebrewHammer]

Doubtful buddy.

[ExCest]

mmk

[mattdillahunty]

first of all, it's going to be on PC no matter what, so it would never be exclusive to an Xbox console. second, what makes you think it won't come to PS3/4? Valve publishes the game, and they've been working with Sony lately. i really can't see L4D3 (if/when it comes out) being on Xbox and not Playstation, or vice versa.

[zeal0us]

I doubt L4D this time around on console will be exclusive to the Xbox Platform.

Hopefully mod support will come to the console platform this time.

[B-radical]

It will release on Pc aswell so its best to say microsoft exclusive although mac and linux was able to play it also

[Crazay]

I really and truly hope you're right but somehow, and I've said this for AGES now, I see Left 4 Dead 3 hitting PS4 exclusively for a set period of time. Just a gut feeling I have after Gabe came out sheepishly a few years ago at E3 at the Sony presser. I see Steam coming to PS4 and L4D3 being at the forefront of that...

[FlameHawk]

Lol I love how george is always going on about Sony trolls and he is one of the biggest trolls here.
Valve and Sony have a WAAAAY better relationship than Valve and Microsoft.

[Plagasx]

lol no

[Ogygian]

It won't be, but even still, what's so good about exclusives?

Do you derive pleasure from knowing that millions of other gamers who bought a near-identical console from a different brand will be miserable as a result of being denied the ability to play games which you can?

[SilentNegotiator]

I would eat my hat.

[itBourne]

Honestly, I hope they do more things like portal, for competitive play cross pc/console isnt right, but for co-op had a blast on portal 2 playing with console buddies. Its an awesome idea, and I know Sony is more open to this kind of stuff over Microsoft, so I hope we see more!

Was the same with how Epic added community mods to Unreal Tourny on ps3, unfortunately it wasnt that popular, hope it happens again and catches fire, because there are a lot of great things the console is missing! Honestly if it wasnt for Sony's first party stable I wouldnt even own a console.

[SpideySpeakz]

IF so, it'll be yet another TIMED EXCLUSIVE.
That's all it's good for.

[Wizziokid]

Most likely this will be multiform, L4D was only exclusive because at that point Valve didn't like the PS3.

[DeadlyFire]

Exclusive? Highly unlikely.

Was only exclusive to X360 due to developers not wanting to touch the PS3. EA had to outsource development on Orange box to someone else to get PS3 version in there.

This time around PS4/X1, and PC have the same code. Porting to either of those should be seemless experience with smaller issues between the playforms.

[mikeslemonade]

Finally it took them like 10 years for them to make an entirely new engine.

[edgeofsins]

Valve said Portal 2 on Playstation 3 was the best version of Portal on consoles. They even included Portal 2 for steam with the PS3 version via a code. Live restricted them too much just to update their games so they decided PSN was a better method for developers to express themselves.

[grimmweisse]

One bubble george, man I missed you! You must of been trolling elsewhere!

[BlaqMagiq24]

You're an idiot if you think its going to be an Xbox One exclusive.

[gaffyh]

@grimm - He was off creating a million alternative accounts which seem to have been banned.

[HugoDrax]

Damn you got 177 disagrees lol. Next time say "Another Sony exclusive" and those odds will be in your favor. Still I wonder why the disagrees when Left 4 Dead has always been released on Microsoft platforms?

Only time will tell....Will MS fork over millions to secure exclusivity? "Tune in tomorrow, same Bat-Time, same Bat-channel!"

[LogicStomper]

I really don't see why people care that one console gets it and the other doesn't. Sure it gives another reason to get said console, but isn't it better if everyone can enjoy it?

[awi5951]

This game will suck on console anyway. The mods on PC were so good. The weapons mods, the counterstike like buy system mod that was put it. The custom maps, characters, hell they modded in all the maps from Left 4 dead one. Custom missions and multiplayer maps someone even made a hord mode mod. There also was a leveling system that was modded in. I loved playing multiplayer and being on the infected team. And saving up my points to spawn a tank or hord to send after the survivors it was so much fun lol.

[Enemy]

Here comes multiplatform Left 4 Dead 3. Tears will flow.

[Hello_World]

Seriously, who brings up a Xbox when talking about Valve? Valve is first and foremost a PC gaming company.

[HugoDrax]

@The_HarryEtTubMan

"Seriously, who brings up a Xbox when talking about Valve? Valve is first and foremost a PC gaming company."

Well I'll be happy to answer your question. Being that both Mike Harrington and Gabe Newell, founder/co founder of Valve worked for Microsoft for 14 years, it's understandable that Xbox could be brought up in a Valve article referring to a franchise that was only released for Microsofts console, PC + MAC. From my understanding they both founded Valve in the 90's after leaving Microsoft.

So with that being said, it's understandable why Left 4 Dead was previously released on XBOX and not PS3. Does that mean that it won't arrive on PS4 this time around? No it doesn't, but it's a good chance it could remain only on Microsoft's console instead of Sony's platform. I personally enjoyed playing the game more on PC/MAC, but I'm sure it will be just as fun if its released for both XB1/PS4. Which I'll own both so I'm not concerned about exclusivity, I'm just concerned with finding time to enjoy all the games I currently own and the next gen titles releasing soon.

Anyhow, we will see what the future holds for this franchise, as Valve needs to hurry up with releasing Half Life 3 instead lol.

[ApolloTheBoss]

A 3? Is Valve trying to destroy the world?

[Heisenburger]

Well it would destroy at least.... half...

[mep69]

In before you get a dislike. Must be a record to see someone on here with 28 agrees and 0 disagrees :O

[Linsolv]

And it's not Half Life... >_>

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

i never really liked the shooting in this game feels weird or am i the only one? jw

[Spinal]

Your the only one.

The shooting is the same as most shooters difference is this game is more fun lol. And it's probably one of the best co op experiences of all games.

[StoutBEER]

@Matt What do you mean Valve has been working with Sony lately? Don't have a problem with it just link you're source, curious what they have been working on.

[Kryptix]

http://www.gamesradar.com/g...

He means that Valve are now happy to be working with Sony in general. If Left 4 Dead 3 is coming to consoles, it will be on both, the PS4 and Xbox One. And knowing them, they'll love to utilize the cross platform feature just like you could play Portal 2 on the PS3 with PC players.

[Doctor_Freeman]

"Xbox exclusive"

This is Valve we're talking about.

They let everyone enjoy their games(most of them).

[RmanX1000]

valve CAN count to 3...

[Bruce_Wayne]

Only sometimes.

[SexyGamerDude]

Half Life 3 confirmed?!?!

[RockmanII7]

lolno

[edgeofsins]

They should Release Portal 3, Half Life 3, and Left4Dead3 together. The "3 Bundle" and when they announce it they say, "Yes. We can count to 3".

[MsMcClever]

@edgeofsins They can release a bundle and call if Orange Box 2.

[Timesplitter14]

GAAAAAAABE

[pacostacos]

noyce... so now we can speculate will this come to consoles like L4d1 and l4d2!? and if so will it just be xbox like last gen or Ps as well or just Ps!? im guessing everybody get the game this time

[CommonSense]

well now that Sony and MS are using virtually the same hardware, I see no reason why it wouldn't be on both.

[pacostacos]

im thinkin the whole direct x thing makin it easier to move between pc and xbox as opposed to ps using open gl. it could lead to xbox having timed exclusivity until valve makes the linux version of the game if its not ready at launch... maybe

[Mkai28]

I see it as well, they sold 3.30mil for left 4 dead and 3.64mil for left 4 dead 2.. I think they could use the sales on all platforms.. It's just CommonSense..

[Rivitur]

Valve- Portal 2 360 and PS3
Valve- CSGO 360 and PS3

There is 0 % chance this will be an exclusive.

Also l4d2 title update coming for 360 for anyone interested.

[MrTrololo]

YES !! Finally valve can count to 3 already

[pandehz]

OHHH NOOO YOU DIDNT!!

Delayed indefinitely

[chrispseuphoria]

Hopefully this is coming to PS4...

[XtraTrstrL]

Hopefully Source 2 keeps up with other Next Gen engines on the visuals.

[CommonSense]

Source 1 keeps up with "next gen" engines on visuals.

Look at Titanfall. Source 2 will probably be one of the best engines out there.

[StoneyYoshi]

Ive seen Titanfall. Eventhough im impressed by what i see, it is not next gen status graphically.

[Mkai28]

Perhaps, but Titan Fall will look beautiful running at 60fps.. As long as L4D3 will still be fun with the co-op play, then that's what mostly matters..

[JunioRS101]

I preordered a PS4, but even I can admit that this might very well be an Xbox exclusive... I hope not, but that's how it was for the first 2 Left 4 Deads.

You mother F*CKERS lol but I wanna be a zombieeeee :{

[TheFallenAngel]

You're not missing out on much.

[Neixus]

why do you seem so sure about that? The last game from valve on consoles, is Portal 2. Which had miles better support than Xbox version.
Heck, they gave you an extra code that you could give to a friend on PC and play together, cross platform. And they even updated it to work with ps move.

[Rivitur]

Last game was CSGO not an exclusive either. Only MS exclusive for Valve was l4d and l4d2 but that's because of Gabe hating PS3 after the patch up they released Portal 2 and have no problems with Sony.

[JunioRS101]

Dude, when people say 'exclusive' they're talking about CONSOLE exclusives (usually).

I'm saying it might not come to PS4.

Personally, I don't really care if it comes to PC because my friends play on consoles, which is where I also play most of the time.

Yes, this may be an unfortunate situation for only me, but that's kind of what I was trying to get at with my original comment. Sorry.

[snake_eater]

Rest assured you will be playing l4d3 on your ps4.

Remember when gabe walked on stage to announce portal 2 for the ps3 at e3?

[JunioRS101]

Even though you're some random guy on the internet, this comment leaves me with a strange sense of peace lol

I certainly hope you're right, snake_eater. God bless you if you are.

[Transporter47]

Valve can count to 3!!!

Half Life 3 Confirmed

[Crazay]

My friends and I are comping at the bit to get more L4D goodness...It's actually THE ONLY game to hold our atention for more than a few months. We still play it every Sunday on XBL and I gotta say, the game is buggier than Timmon and Poombah's crap these days. It's laggy, the game crashes to valve load screen, you can get stuck in odd locations before you spawn in as Special infected and I've even been the tank that spawned over the creek in Swamp fever in the last few days.

I just hope that whatever console it hits, they support it better with more maps, real deadlines and community driven maps.

[StoneyYoshi]

Thats why you play it on PC. Its shit on Xbox

[MidnytRain]

Event the PC version has it's fair share of odd glitches. Am I the only one who's seen a player fall through the floor on an elevator?

[StoneyYoshi]

I guess so cause i havent seen it in my 100+ hours

[Crazay]

I've seen people fall through the floor of elevators...many times on PC. And a few times on Xbox a long time ago. Mind you, I've logged a hell of a lot more than 100hrs into it...in fact, i shudder to think of how much time was sunk into it.

[Hazmat13]

hey internet, i got L4D 1 and 2 on mac.

[Plagasx]

Awwww I wanted HL3 :(

[DeadlyFire]

Well Source 2.0 you would imagine that Half-Life 3 would debut it.

So I would hang on to that thought until at least December. Valve will debut a new game for 2014 sometime soon I am betting.

[ginsunuva]

No not this sh!tty mindless tasteless zombie game that retailed for $60 when it should have been $20. Especially that disgraceful sequel that came out less than a year after the first at full price.

No effort put into these games whatsoever, unlike valve's other games.

[ifritAlkhemyst]

Yet they sell 10x as much as other Valve games. I played the free demo on PC a long time ago, really did not understand the love it gained from gamers. Funny, I own every Valve game on Steam but this series.

[DeadlyFire]

They are fun.

More would could have been put into the games sure, but its simple and fun to most people.

[JeepGamer]

Left 4 Dead.

Borderlands 2.

Combine the idea behind L4D with the huge environments and variety of Borderlands 2. The results if done properly could be awesome.

[Plagasx]

HOLY CRAP O_O Okay, I WANT L4D 3 NOW.

[JeepGamer]

I'm just speculating what could be, not what is.

[Ogygian]

So we get a whole trilogy of Left 4 Dead games starting a year after episode 2 and still we hear nothing of Half Life 3?
I hope Valve aren't trolling and that they'll release the game as part of the Orange Box 2, along with HL3 and something small and new.

[Trago1337]

YES YES YES YES YESEEEEEEES! :D

[WitWolfy]

The one thing I hate about L4D on consoles is the price doesnt warrant a purchase. Playing the same four stages kinda gets old after a while.. Then to make matters worse we need to pay for addon DLCs to extend the game's life where PC gamers get it for free...

[Pandamobile]

Blame Microsoft for that one.

[WitWolfy]

Yeah no doubt, but it makes it pointless to buy this game at full retail if you dont get the same perks as its PC counterpart.

Damn greedy M$ policies.

[ghostrider32]

Valve learned how to count to three? Let me go check Hell's temperature.

[WitWolfy]

LOL!!! I see what you did there ;)

[windblowsagain]

FFS valve. I don't give a rats ass about portal.

If you haven't got the resource to do HL3, hire more people or have another team do it. Hopefully with a much updated Source engine.

[gaelic_laoch]

Valve should have NO EXCUSES not to bring L4D3 to PS4 this time round!

[CapsLocke]

Screw PS4, we're talking about HL3 and L4D3 here.

[Hitman0769]

Gamers rejoice! Valve smash your heads into a wall. xD

Seriously though, big companies like this usually don't love leaks half as much as we do. Hopefully this was a timed leak so Gabe doesn't cancel it just to spite us all. xD

#HisTrollLVLisOver5000

[jay2]

L4D3 o yeah!

[_FantasmA_]

This game would actually do better on PS3/PS4 than on any M$box because of keyboard + mouse control, mods, and free online. I remember when Valve was pissed at Sony for making the system expensive and hard to make games for but then they saw the light and then got pissed at M$. PSN is slowly turning into Steam for consoles so I hope they work together. Great minds should think alike. Oh and Xbots? Don't get your hopes up. You can't claim a game as exclusive if its on PC.

[christocolus]

about it being xbox one exclusive i highly doubt that except ms is able to strike a very good deal with valve,but with regards to your comment the game actually did well on the xbox 360 without the keyboard and mouse and it was a CONSOLE exclusive for xbox 360 except you consider pcs to be a gaming consoles.

[_FantasmA_]

Its not exclusive if its on PC. Oh now you are using the world console exclusive?? Nobody uses that word, its either exclusive or its not. It can't be exclusive if its available on more than one platform. Thats like saying your girlfriend is faithful to you and another guy.

[Saddam_hussein]

Online isn't free anymore Hun

[_FantasmA_]

Yeah it is sweetie. PS4 isn't even out yet. If this comes to PS3 it will be free. Stay dead cause you suck at fighting console wars.

[christocolus]

When ms and sony brag about games being exclusive i doubt it includes pcs. sony has games exclusive to the playtstation which are also on pc.Most console gamers will always buy their games on consoles and pc games do not compare .pc game sales do not really hurt console game sales and thats why its not really regarded that way..i do not want to go into specifics but thats the truth...

[o-Sunny-o]

OMG L4D3!! ONLY REASON 360 WAS GOOD TO ME!! IT NEEDS 2 COME 2 PS4!!! please Valve please Valve please!

[CapsLocke]

L4D on console. Lol.

[DeadManV]

Does Microsoft make money from games that are on PC? If not then games that are available on PC and Xbox are not exclusive.

[nick309]

Half life 3 officially dead /:

[CrusRuss]

About time valve made another game. I really love valve's games

[JasonXS12]

What if Valve announces Orange Box 2 with Left 4 Dead 3, Half Life 3, Portal 3, Team Fortress 3 and Ricochet 2.......

On topic: I don't know how Valve are going to improve on L4D2 but they always find a way to make things better. And I really this is real.

[e-p-ayeaH]

Not sure if this is relevant anymore.

[GodGinrai]

Half life 3. thats what I want hear about.

[MikeyDucati1]

I just read about this on my home website. Great news!!

Now lets fantasize for a bit. What if this game was an Xbox One exclusive? How would it shift the tides? No doubt it would cause some kind of ripple effect.

[GodGinrai]

I played the first two on X360. great games to play with some buddies. I will say though, I hope PS fans get to play this time around as well though.

[MikeyDucati1]

It would be nice on both sides of the coin. PS fans finally getting L4D, on one side. The other side, MS has it as their killer app exclusive for One. Time will tell.

[EditorAtGNG]

I can understand this development. Half Life is Valve's brand game - their Eifel Tower, if you will. Of course it is going to take a lot longer than making a sequel to either L4D, Team Fortress or Portal. I am not saying these newer titles (except TFT of course) aren't worth the wait and development time, however, they are rather new and proved to be rather successful and have an added selling point (which Valve has been really pushing lately... co-op).

So, basicly, they can make a sequel to either L4D or Portal (hell, even Team Fortress though I doubt it since its still going strong) and focus on creating a worthy sequel to Half Life 2.

I am sure it's in the works. I mean, come on.

[saber00005]

What happens when they release L4D4? O_o

[shaun mcwayne]

L4D4 is R2D2 cousin.

[BlaqMagiq24]

One of only 2 franchises I enjoyed on the 360 with the other being Gears of War. But when it gets announced for PS4 the Xbox fanboys will rage on here.

[robotgargoyle]

I'd be upset for sure. My brother was jealous over 360 having L4D exclusively.(he has a ps3). We played quite a bit of co-op.

[stage88]

Welcome to PlayStation.

[Tzuno]

and still no episode 3...

[-Gespenst-]

Noooo Valve... I wish this stupid zombie apocalypse trend would die out already. Became stale a long time ago.

[GentlemenRUs]

I guess HL3 is dead in the water then...

[thecowsaysmoo]

I have a gut feeling left4dead 1 and 2 package will make its way on the ps3 and left 4 dead 3 will be available on both ps3 and ps4.

[robotgargoyle]

I really hope that L4D3 comes to consoles. I love that series! Does anyone think Valve will come to Gamescom and unveil an official Steambox and announce LFD3 exclusively for it? Seems too late with all the preorders currently.

[pwnsause_returns]

they just trolled the hell out of us. L4D 3? i mean, i love L4D, but com'n man! LOL

[led1090]

who the hell cares?? We all just want one game from you valve, but i guess that's too much to ask for huh

[kingduqc]

I swear to god, if this lfd 3 isn't a code name for half life 3 I'll be really really really pissed off.

[turgore]

Left for Dead is their B franchise.

[ChemicalWorld]

*crys into Half-Life handkerchief*

Valve why do you hate me so much? :(

[yog-sothot]

If someone really stole that picture, it is really not cool

though it might be the start of some weird ARG from Valve

[Treian]

I have played over 700 hours of L4D2 on Steam. Can't wait for a 3rd one!

[SatanSki]

Confirmed by leak. rofl

[A7XEric]

Oh great, another valve game not called Half-Life 3 is coming out -_-

[NeutralXP]

Xbox One exclusive yay disagree all you want but the truth hurts sometimes

[Xyle]

Yes cuz we all want this..... Not like we're waiting for another more relevant game to come out.
This news with source 2 is good. L4D 3... Not so much
