Don't know if any of you remember the announcement some time ago that Turtle Rock was using the Source engine to create a game, but finally some information has emerged in PC Gamer UK. It's called Left 4 Dead and it's a multiplayer/coop/zombie/survival game. Needless to say it looks great. The scans aren't legally allowed, which is a shame...
You
Didn't
See
These
Scans
Here
Full Version: Left 4 Dead
Screenshots look quite promising.
Indeed. I loled at the part in the last pic where it say "Pah, 360 can keep Dead Rising, Look what we get!"
Yay! More Source Games! Zombies too!!!!
finally a topic in the mod/other games index that is in fact an actual topic!!!
this game looks sweet and i am sure turtle rock will do a good
job on the final product, the screenies look good so far!

Closer to Rebecca Chambers, but they still made her different enough to very easily avoid a lawsuit. Looks like it'll be quite good.
I wonder if this will play like the zombie mod in CSS. I loved the zombie mod!
these scans are relevant to my interests. will buy.
looks gorey ^_^

That looks kinda creepy
in the trailer, i noticed sounds from the MP5 In counter strike, and from the shotgun. They erent getting their own gun sounds? Weird. But hey, i love the CSS sounds!

They're probably placeholders I imagine, quite a few early versions of games seem to use CS.

Good point.
I can't believe this thread hasn't been posted in for 1.7 years. Has it really been that long?

Left 4 Dead will have a short introduction, created by the team behind the Team Fortress 2 cut-scenes, but that will be the only cut scene gamers will see in Left 4 Dead.
Instead the story will be told through the game's more than 8,000 lines of dialog and the occasional messages scrawled on the walls of the game's maps, said Valve's Chet Faliszek.
And the games plentiful dialog, Half-Life 2 only had 2,500 lines, isn't meant to be experienced the first time through, or even the fiftieth. The dialog is selected by the specific situation, so it could be weeks or months before a gamer stumbles upon a particular line which might shed a bit more light on the character's back stories.
The team decided to not include cut-scenes because Left 4 Dead is a game meant to be played over and over again and they believed the cut-scenes would quickly become tiresome.
"We didn't want to have the game game gummed up with a story line," Faliszek said. "We wanted to keep it really clean and tight. A zombie apocalypse."
"It's about killing zombies, not some fable on the reconstruction of humanity."
The fact that a map will be replayed so many times, also gives the developers a bit more license for how they get the story across. They can allow gamers to pull their own experience out of the game, instead of pushing a story at them.
"You're gong to play a map 50 to 100 times so we can be more subtle," he said.
After launch, once players have had plenty of time with the four scenarios of five maps each, the developers will likely release new scenarios, Faliszek said. Valve just wants to make sure anything they release and sell for the game will have real value.
"We don't want to give you horse armor," he said.

I really like this game but I'm a bit confused by its direction. Can some one detail what players will be doing in this game other then shooting zombies/being on the zombie team?
You pretty much nailed it, zombie coop. It's simple but effective. Playing CS with as many bots on the opposite team all set to use knives was a blast, this takes the concept and makes it into a proper game.
What do they mean by scenarios?
Different survivor scenarios, gametypes basically.
Do we have any hinting of what one of these will be?
I know one is the actual coop mission, and one is team deathmatch. Don't know about others.
This game is going to be fucking win.
wanting Tut to get it. I'd be too afraid to play alone but I don't think the MP will be anything to miss out on.
This is my #1 game to get right now. I'm fucking rabid (omgolol) waiting for this to come out, I WANT IT NOW. Looking forward to the community made maps and shit. Finally, a well polished and amazing zombie apocalypse game that is straight up killing zombies/advance to next stage. I'm getting horny just thinking about it.
Will there be zombie bots?
...That's the whole thing they've been showing around, the AI Director. Yes, they'll be dynamically spawned around the map so it's different every time. The Director evaluates how the group is doing and bases your next encounter off of that. Low health and low ammo = small encounter, small payoff. High health, high ammo, good teamwork = large encounter, larger payoff. In the main campaigns you play with just human players, and all of the infected (including bosses) are AI controlled. When you go into the other modes, then the Boss infected are playable, but not regular infected. They're just AI and run around trying to rip your balls off.
The maps for this game are going to be insane.
I bet people are going to make Dawn Of The Dead maps like the mall and shit.
Going to be win.

I'm still hating the actual gameplay personally. It looks so fucking boring.
For some reason when I click another video it doesn't give a new URL, so just scroll down on the first one and click the 'Last Stand' gameplay if you want to see it.
I am extremely pumped for L4D. I need a good zombie game to recover from the summer video game slump.
Has anyone heard if the online is going to be cross console or not? I highly doubt it will be, but if it will that would be a great. (A lot of my friends don't have PCs that can run L4D and will be getting it for 360.)
So far the game looks like it could be released now, but I trust Valve is holding back for good reasons.

It's not unfortunately.
