Well it better be. The last Left 4 Dead game came out years ago. I would hope they've made improvements to AI in games by now.

But then again, look at Colonial Marines....ugh

Rivitur4114d ago

They didn't make that though they can only compare the AI of l4d(1) because that was their work.

CorndogBurglar4114d ago

I was talking about gaming in general, not this particular company.

gamesTM_dom4114d ago

Hey, it makes a change when developers actually talk about the AI, though, right?

Aside from Thief, I've seen very few devs for upcoming games talk about/get asked about AI recently (and Turtle Rock are very good at what they do with AI, so).

IanVanCheese4114d ago

<3 this game. Played it and I can honestly say this is a better multiplayer experience than Titanfall (and I fooking love Titanfall).

Jdoki4114d ago

This game has been flying under the radar, but it looks intriguing.

Hope it turns out well.

This is looking like a great game. Start out with a great idea and develop on top of that. Thats how ya do it.

Back 4 Blood 2 seems to be in development at Turtle Rock Studios with the working codename title of "Gobi 2"

I never understood gamers mindset when it comes to this.
Am I suppose to just keep playing L4d2?

Like why does it matter if there is a better one?
We will never get a better version of anything if they don’t try.

IAMRealHooman210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

they did try, and the older game was more feature complete, has more depth, and better replayability.
They didn't evolve the formula they regressed, look up Crowbcat back4blood vs l4d

pwnmaster3000210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

Okay cool.
Is that how you go about life?
“Oh I tried once didn’t work out, I’ll give up.”
We wouldn’t get anywhere if people had that mindset.

The idea of one thing is better so no one else try it is crazy to me.

Helldivers 2
Deep rock galactic
Vermintide 1 & 2
Payday 2
Space marine 2
World war Z
Are evolutions of the formula and harkin to the ideology that made l4d popular

back 4 blood fell short, and was panned by players. This is also the dev's 2nd attempt at using their name as the devs of L4D as recognition, Evolve was their other.

jznrpg210d ago

Devs can learn from their prior work to make better games in the future

TheColbertinator210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

I lost faith in TRS ages ago

-Foxtrot210d ago

Get rid of the stupid card system for starters and just stick to four characters so you can develop them fully

No one has every beaten the original L4D survivors from the first game

Evolve or Die: The final days of the follow-up to Left 4 Dead

Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.

‘Evolve: Stage 2’ is back from the dead as peer-to-peer servers come back online

From NME: "Evolve: Stage 2 had its multiplayer servers shut down back in 2018, but today players are once again able to matchmake and join peer-to-peer multiplayer games.

Several months ago, peer-to-peer functionality was lost for Evolve Legacy, which was the only way fans of the series could play with friends. Upon a multitude of players reaching out to publisher 2K, the issue was eventually fixed earlier in July. It seems 2K have gone a step further now, and reinstated peer-to-peer and matchmaking functionality for Evolve: Stage 2 after four years."

^^this, I have so many awesome skins on Xbox that I’d rather not lose

Germaximus1054d ago

Yes so far because it's just the servers alone coming on and the console version never had the free-to-play update.

I imagine if they find people playing the PC version and enough players are enjoying it then they'd probably reconsider opening console as well but I wouldn't count on it.

The game was epic as a monster. Hunters were really boring to play as to me.

LordoftheCritics1054d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
