Draken Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 (edited) Feel free to copy and paste or leave it that way ;) Preview: Left 4 Dead is a co-operative multiplayer first person shooter in which you play as one of up to four people (called ?Survivors?), luckily immune to a virus that is spreading through the human population with frightening speed. The pandemic?s victims become grotesquely disfigured, wildly violent psychopaths, attacking the uninfected on sight.You can, if you want, decide to play as an infected psychopath, bent on killing the four survivors. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Edited October 22, 2008 by Draken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2008 I've been waiting for this game to come out for so long, and just as I can pre-order it... I have no money. At least not in a form that I can use with steam, so I've got to wait a week or so before I can buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2008 I was thinking of making an official topic for this as well. Definitely going to be an awesome game. I'm torn between buying on the 360 or PC though :/ I know I wouldn't be short of people to play with on XBL, but barely anyone here seems to play together on Steam..

John_T Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I've pre-ordered PC version. I have no xbox 360. Looking forward to it. Also I hope someone makes a typing tutor mod for it, I liked typing of the dead far too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted October 22, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted October 22, 2008 PC baby! Source games run good on my rig, plus PC version will be cheaper, KB/M, have better online communities (more servers and dedicated), server lists, updates the minute they come out and all content free. Orange Box PS3 doesn't even get updates, and MS are making Valve charge us for the 360 TF2 update. Games that are meant/made to be played on the PC (that get ported to console) always exceed consoles online IMO, it's when you get a game crafted for a consoles online, it works best.

Jimmy0 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 If I get it, then it will definitely be on PC, however I am not sure if I will have the time to play it properly. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clx Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 PC for me! means i need to dig out my mic :) hope i have time to play, what with C&C RA3 and little big planet comeing out quite close to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2008 iirc they are doing dedicated servers for the 360 version too, so that's not even a concern this time around unlike last year and TF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-ergy Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 l4d has pretty frantic fast paced gameplay... gamepad not such a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well that could be said about UT3 as well. I got the game last week and at first hated the controls. It had the turning circle of an 18 wheeler. Then I changed the settings and voila, I was pwning before you know it. Of course it doesn't beat K&M but it still works :) I expect L4D will be the same as I've never had an issue playing HL2 on the Xbox or 360 (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they may be. But how many? On the PC you'll have thousands of different dedicated servers to choose from, custom maps, custom server limitations, etc. But it's still good if the console version gets servers, P2P play is such a hassle at times.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well I can't answer that question can I :p But who knows what changes they've made based on their feedback from Orange Box. I hope they don't make the same mistakes again, I doubt they will, but who knows. This is ultimately a co-op/multiplayer game though and Neowins PC section definitely has a lacking community. But anyways, I'm not 100% decided yet, I might even get both versions like I did last year with Orange Box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
]SK[ Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Agh, so many good games at the moment! I need more money and time :( I was a huge fan of SvenCoop. I'm loving Saints Row 2 at the moment for it's cooperative play features. The world needs more cooperative games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2008 This holiday season has plenty of co-op games coming (or are already out). I'm pretty sure every major release has some sort included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
]SK[ Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I know Resistance had coop. Not sure about Resistance 2. Would be nice if it's online coop rather than local. What others should I be looking out for? I'm a Wii, PS3 and PC gamer btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2008 Resistance 2 has 8 player co-op. Also LBP has co-op/multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
