Left 4 Dead

Αναφορά σε κείμενο

Source engine-powered zombie shooter Left 4 Dead can be seen in action in around two minutes of in-game footage that's appeared on YouTube.

It's shakycam rather that direct-feed, but it's actually not too hard to make out what's going on. Being the conscientious lot that we are, we should warn you there's swearing in the audio so keep the volume low if your mum's around. Oh, and there's and violence and zombies too.

Left 4 Dead's looking pretty good, we must say. The multiplayer shooter was originally announced in November 2006 and finds a small band of humans (the Survivors) battling zombie hordes and nasty mutated beings - collectively known as the Infected - which have overrun the game's urban battlegrounds. Players will be able to play as both the Survivors and the Infected.

It's in development at Turtle Rock Studios

Αναφορά σε κείμενο

Left 4 Dead is a First Person Shooter Co-operative Multiplayer game in which you play as one of up to four people (called "Survivors"), luckily immune to a virus that's sending most of the population mad, pitched against an endless horde of psychotic infected people.

The infected are humungous in numbers, they pour out from everywhere. A lack of strength means nothing if there are a good hundred or so of them.

...as a Survivor, you can close and lock doors behind you. This effectively stalls any infected pursuing you. They can break through the door a bit at a time, but it takes a while. And Survivors having the ability to blow holes in the door as well make for some interesting scenes involving a Survivor firing into a horde of infected through a hole in a door to great effect. Of course, Tanks don't find doors to hard to open. Or walls.

You will not be wading through hordes of infected from start to finish. What has been implemented is an AI Director that places the infected on the map using no flags or checkpoints made by TRS at all. It is intelligent enough to place them without such things.

You can, if you want, decide to forgoe the realm of sanity and become an infected psychopath, bent on killing the four survivors.

There are four playable types of Boss-Infected, known as the Boomer, the Hunter, the Smoker, and the Tank (scroll down for a more in-depth look at them). The first three are selectable to a point, while the latter is given out randomly at certain times due to it's power.

Playing as the infected is very different from the survivor side. Most obviously when you take your position behind a pair of bloodied hands, you can see the outline of survivors as a red, ghostly figure which can be used to see them through walls. The game also shows the likely route the survivors will take, if you are standing still, as red arrows on the floor, further enhancing the ability to stalk and strike at the most inopportune moment.

There are four campaigns, consisting of 5 maps each (so 20 maps on release), which can be both played offline (with AI controlled friends and enemies) or online with up to 8 players (four Survivors and four Boss Infected). They are seperated by 'checkpoints' in which you restock on ammo and health, and dead teammates revive if they were killed towards the end of a map.

TRS are working with Valve to implement support for multi-core processors

Left 4 Dead will be available on both XBox 360 and PC platforms

There is no official release date for Left 4 Dead. Do not pay attention to any release dates unless they are stated by the developers themselves or the publishers.

Left 4 Dead slips to 2008

 

Left 4 Dead won't be released until next year on either PC or Xbox 360, Valve has told Eurogamer.

 

"We're saying early 08," Valve's Chet Faliszek told us at QuakeCon. "Really we just want to make sure that when it's released it's great."

Πολύ φασαρία για το game και νομίζω ότι δεν θα φτάσει τα expectations μας. Το κόβω να απογοητεύει.

Left 4 Dead Gets Further Delayed

 

Left 4 Dead, developed by Counter-Strike makers Turtle Rock Studios, is a co-operative multiplayer action game, using the Source Engine, and also introducing Turtle Rock's v2.0 A.I. technology. Originally slated for late 2007, delayed until Q1 2008, then rescheduled for Aug./Sept., in a recent interview Valve's Doug Lombardi revealed that while the game is basically complete it will now launch simultaneously on Xbox 360 and PC in November 2008.

Left 4 Dead gets a release date

Zombie murder scheduled for November 4

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the long wait is nearly over. We finally have a release date for the eagerly anticipated co-op zombie shooter Left 4 Dead. The Turtle Rock Studios FPS has been driving gamers to breaking point with the excruciating wait, but we now know that Valve will be spilling the title like so many undead entrails on November 4.

 

Due for the PC and the Xbox 360, Left 4 Dead allows players to work together and fight against waves of "infected," or take each other on as humans and zombies in a competitive environment. In short, it's a zombie fan's wet dream, and it can't come quickly enough for many people.

 

Just a few more months, friends. Just a few more.
