L4D 2

[_amp_955_dam]

Teaser kicked ass.
Seriously. I did love it. But it does have more of a Dead Rising vibe to it.
And unlike a lot of people, I did actually like Dead Rising.

Okay, after the initial “OMG WTF werez episode 3 valve r fags”. I’ve decided to not hate Left 4 Dead 2 until it’s released.
The characters and daylight still pisses me off though. And a discount would be nice.

Finally, someone begins to see sense.

Oh, I assumed that. I was mostly referring to the use of the environmental effects. I wouldn’t expect them to use the Director in Ep3.

You’re in a fight with an advisor, then all of the sudden a horde comes.

Thanks.

And speaking of zombies, I recently installed the “They Hunger” Half-Life 1 mod. It’s scarry and fun!

Except that the infected models are swapped to use Barney’s model and the Tank is a bear being fucked by a mysterious person

QFT. I’m sure it will be a good game, at least I hope it will be, but I also hope they keep up with DLC.

and it is a good mod, by the way.

I already know it’s going to be pretty good, it’s just aggravating that it’s not dlc.

Epic mod. It’s a shame that Lost Souls appears to have died on its feet.

I understand what you’re saying, and I agree, but I’m also anticipating that they continue to produce DLC for the original. If they don’t, they’re getting sued and they know it.

[geekofalltrades]

…getting sued? For what, not giving their product away for free?

The best solution here is going to be that all content for the original - including the original campaigns and any future DLC - is compatible with the sequel, which looks possible.

Actually, I heard from a ModDB poster (named supersoup) that he e-mailed one of the developers (Neil) about it and he (Nei) said they’re “making an effort to finish the game up this winter.”

There’s hope my friends!
And if you wish to further bug Neil more about the game, send him an e-mail:

Anyway, back on topic:

@GordonFreeman

You know how we are left with the trail of the Borealis, an icebreaker and there was some concept art in Raising the Bar concerning a snow-capped town?

Consider the announcement that in Left 4 Dead 2, the Director AI would have control of the weather, changing the gameplay?

Maybe, just maybe, this is a testbed for the use of such gameplay mechanisms in Ep.3. Having a fog roll in at a critical overwhelming battle to provide an escape would certainly add new and exciting elements to the game.

I enjoy L4D, and with a reasonable discount (25%-50%) to pre-existing owners of L4D, I would definitely consider buying this sequel. I wouldn’t mind waiting a little more for Ep3 if they decide to use this new technology to further enhance the gameplay and make my experience more enjoyable.

I’m not sure how weather can change gameplay (hey look, it’s foggy! That means we get better critical headshots but have low perception! Now it’s sunny, and we have a health boost but walk slower!), but I would LOVE to see weather effects in Left 4 Dead 2! Especially rain. I love rain.

False advertising. You know some dumbass would do it, that’s the way it works here.

[jambo]

They never advertised a specific amount of guaranteed DLC in the original package, so no one can sue Valve for false advertising =/

[Brother_Shrike]

No one could file a valid lawsuit, but someone would still try.

I can see it now:
“ZOMG LOLZ VLAEV DAY SED DAT TAY WOOD REALIZE DCL BUT TEHN THEY DINT LOL BBQ ROFLMAO!!!11!!!1111!!oneone!!111!eleven!111!”
Someone will try this, I guarantee it.

[intooblivion]

More like less people will buy l4d 2 because of it.

I’ll put a tenner on that.

@Jambo

I’ll put a tenor sax on that.

I don’t know why, I’m just bored.

[SteveO]

Why does the game HAVE to be at night to be good??? Dawn of the Dead wasn’t always at night and it was still good… I actually like the fact that a couple(or a few) of the maps are going to be at day along with a couple at night. It’s not the same all the time.

[Jeannotvb]

If all the people who whine about L4D2 don’t buy the game then it might have ‘some’ impact.
