Finally got to try out the demo after all the delays with the Steam version, can't wait until Nov 17th!

19 more day, my friend. 19 more days.

And I love that music. If it's not a Valve original track, I need to find out where it came from.

Gamer41115706d ago

I hear you bro, need to practice my swing with the baseball bat :P

M337ING5706d ago

Pandamobile, it's a reinterpretation of Seldom-Seen Kid by Elbow.

The original was used in marketing for the original Left 4 Dead.

mrv3215706d ago

There should be a cricket bat, if it's not allready confirmed make a mod.

Remake the entire shaun of the dead... please, and make the pub scene a survival map... how cool would that be?

Pandamobile5706d ago

I'm pretty sure there is a cricket bat. And the baseball bat if you pre-order.

mrv3215706d ago

Well if that's the case

Run exe file C:/AWSOME/PURE/CON/music.exe

Speakers on full.

'Don't stop me now.'

Yes I have that song as .exe and yes I have a file called 'con' :P

mal_tez925706d ago

But I'll definitely be getting the game because I enjoyed the first one so much. Too bad us Aussies get a crappy censored version :(

kwicksandz5706d ago

A friend gifted me the butchered Aussie version... so pathetic, less gore than L4D1

I hope they find a work around!

There's gonna be a lot of blood spilled when this comes out.

NecrumSlavery5706d ago

Just got a brand new PC! Is this a DX11 graphics game>?<

M337ING5706d ago

I doubt it. But it'll look pretty damn good on PC regardless. I played the demo, and its a marked improvement over the first game.

Pandamobile5706d ago

No DX11, Source is still on DX9. But it looks damn good - especially for a Source game.

Shadow Man5706d ago (Edited 5706d ago )

Ouch sucks to be a Droid

LeonSKennedy4Life5706d ago

I love the demo!

The only problem is that melee looks the same for every weapon.

For that, Killing Floor still has Left 4 Dead by a mile.

I'm still really excited for L4D2!

GamerRN455d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit454d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead454d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica454d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL454d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit454d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash454d ago (Edited 454d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper454d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica452d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer455d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit454d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer454d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit454d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183454d ago (Edited 454d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer454d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183454d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper454d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal454d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood454d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183454d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde454d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Valve Made Left 4 Dead 2 Because The First Game Was A Broken Mess

Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."

ZycoFox566d ago

And then couldn't be arsed to make a third game.

If they can add a lot more stuff to a 2nd game in just 1 year why didn't they make a third game a few years later with tons of stuff extra? Because that shows they could've.

I know Source 2 was kind of broken and was a reason they cancelled L4D3 but it seems wasteful to just toss it away.

Don't know what Valve were thinking.. it's like nobody wanted to fix the issues to get going. They certainly aren't the Valve of 2004 that released fun games with pretty cutting edge graphics.

cthulhucultist564d ago

Valve is allergic to number 3 it seems. It would be easier for them to release a Left 4 Dead 2.5 enhanced version instead of releasing a game with "3" slapped on its title.

rakentaja564d ago

They stopped making games a long time ago. Steam brings in so much money that it's really not worth the effort. Nowadays, people only look for faults in games, and spend more time whining on Twitter/X than playing the game anyway. Valve says a big fat no-no.

anast564d ago

Value is the Blockbuster of video games. They have no need to invest in deving a game, when they can make handfuls of cash renting them.

-Foxtrot566d ago

What are they talking about? Seemed pretty alright to me at launch it just wasn't supported the way Valve promised us

They should have just worked on a revamp / massive update to the game but they didn't they jumped straight to a sequel with brand new characters despite having some sort, if small, story about where the original survivors were heading.

I didn't care for the direction they took the sequel, the original games tone and atmosphere was missing in the second game and is still unmatched. Daytime levels, more whackiness, melee weapons where you could attack a Tank with a frying pan...just wasn't the same to be honest and the new survivors just didn't hold up the originals.

Here's my speculation. I think they did a sequel because they didn't want to update a game co-developed by Turtle Rock, they wanted the franchise to be known as a Valve game only and knew if they updated the first one Turtle Rocks name would still linger on it.

shaenoide564d ago

I want broken games like L4D all day long...

GhostScholar564d ago

Well the first game was by far the best
