Left 4 Dead 2 E3 Promo Video
One of the exclusives announced from Microsoft at E3 is Left 4 Dead 2; which will be released one year EXACTLY from the first L4D. It is really soon, especially if you realize that Team Fortress 2 has been out for close to two years and is still receiving constant DLC. I am on the fence about it, hoping that it doesn’t turn out like the Madden franchise, I AM looking forward to L4D 2. It seems that Valve’s Chet Faliszek has a handle on why Left 4 Dead 2 is coming so soon. (From Joystiq)
“Left 4 Dead 1, like I said, had some of those fundamental things that we wanted to change about it, like the changes to the director, which took really long periods of time and a really long period of testing,” he said. “And so, those changes fell in line with the long period of time it takes to create characters and everything else. That’s why we’re doing Left 4 Dead 2, right?”
I would love to see it as DLC for Left 4 Dead, but no pricing for it has been released, and Valve says that the upgrades to the game can’t be shoehorned into L4D. Either way I am looking forward to the new storyline, weapons, and special infected. There is the new gameplay mode as well as the one they haven’t announced. I am really looking forward to the melee weapons (such as the chainsaw, axe, baseball bat and frying pan). For those who may have missed the promo video, you can view it below, or grab the high definition video through Steam. Remember, only five months to go before Left 4 Dead 2!
