Pocket Gamer:
Turtle Rock Studios will be a familiar name to PC players: the studio is well-known for its collaborations with Valve on the Counter-Strike and Left 4 Dead franchises. But iPhone owners are likely less au fait with the developer (despite Meridian’s efforts to repackage Left 4 Dead’s core mechanics in the cheekily named, Alive 4-Ever).
This may be about to change, as Turtle Rock has set up a new subsidiary, Turtle Rock Garage, which will focus on casual and experimental games for the iPhone and iPad.
Its first effort, Leap Sheep!, has now been released on the App Store. We decided to have a chat with design director Chris Ashton about entering the casual market, encouraging talent from within, and Scrabble.
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.
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
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.
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
Today Turtle Rock Studios reveals the launch trailer for the first DLC of their co-op zombie shooter, Back 4 Blood.
Tencent Holdings Ltd. has acquired Turtle Rock Studios’ (“Turtle Rock”) parent company, Slamfire, Inc., the companies announed.
Tencent is rolling in dough. Them league of legends dollars are setting the world on fire. These guys buy a company every few months.
Welp; as much as I love the game, I lost all hope for the long term future of Back 4 Blood when it comes to how we recieve new content, or even are mechanics will work.
