Left 4 Dead

[SlyTMan]

The first minute is ads but after that it's all gameplay.

[Sokuto]

Oh my God, I want this game so much. The thing I love about it is that the main focus of the game is teamwork, and trying to survive together. That and it has zombies in it. :D

Oh and how realistic it is is also interesting. I noticed when one of them got hit by the mutant-gorilla-human-zombie-guy he was laying on the ground like he was wounded, but kept on shooting at it. Things like that is what is getting me excited.

[WoOt]

is it coming out for the xbox 360 too? or is it a PC exclusive?

just ... WOW.... i'm actually speechless. :D

[PhysicsEnabled]

That actually looks really good.

[megamanenm]

wow that looked awsome!
too bad i'll never be able to play it

[edthefirst]

is it coming out for the xbox 360 too? or is it a PC exclusive?

just ... WOW.... i'm actually speechless. :D

Just pc. It uses the HL2 engine. I am probably going to buy that game.

[Muntu]

That video sucked. Any other videos where it shows ONLY the game, not some f*cking gangstas playin it?

[AJJeko]

That game looks really fun. The carnage is amazing, and I liked the part where Greg Vederman got hung :P

[SgtBob]

I heard it was coming out for 360 also, but I may be wrong.

EDIT: Yeah, 360 also. Source. :D (news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13841/Left-4-Dead-Confirmed-for-Xbox-360/)

[edthefirst]

What xbox360...NOOOOOO. This just shows that pc gaming is getting less important than console gaming. Stupid consoles.

PC gaming will never die out.. PC has Counter-Strike, WoW, Guild Wars, and everything else with millions of players.

i play guild wars sometimes :O wats ur username? (if u play)

[edthefirst]

I never said it would die out, I just said that PC gaming is getting less corporate attention.

[rocketeer]

maybe a new team of game developers of physics games could help make more people want PC games ;)

[Sokuto]

I play it every now and then. My main's name is Chazar Kitoku.

I never said it would die out, I just said that PC gaming is getting less corporate attention.

Well, if it gets less attention, it's gonna die out. And it isn't getting less attention anyways. FPS's belong on PC, as do RTS games. Millions of people still play PC games, and WoW is the fastest selling game in video game history, selling 2.4 million copies in 24 hours.

[WoOt]

Just pc. It uses the HL2 engine. I am probably going to buy that game.


Does it need any fancy graphics card to run, or Physx Cards? i really want that game, depends on the price.

im mesmer of hades (friends call me mezzy for some reason XD)

O and nice game i hope i can play it on my laptop (computer disk drive is broken and too lazy to get new parts XD)

[Sokuto]

PhysX, no. It uses the Source engine for the physics. About the card, they don't know what the computer requirements are yet. I'm guessing probably somewhere around Half-Life 2's.

[WoOt]

im sorry, i didn't see a few posts back about it also being for Xbox 360. In that case i will get it For te 360, when does it come out for the 360? I couldn't Find it :confused: :p :D ;)

[AquaGeneral]

Personaly, I am getting sick of my 360. The first year had a weak line-up of good games. I would also rather spend $6000 on a new Alienware PC than $650 for a Xbox 360.

[Muntu]

Yeah, and I think it's coming for PS3 too.
Comes or not, I'm buying it for PC. Playing FPS is easier on PC. FPS's are fun and stuff on consoles too though.

[Maltor124]

Sweet, I can't wait for this game, it looks brutal. That uber-zombie with OMGWTFSRSLYLMAO big arms looked psycho... I also like how you are alive, but incapacitated when you get badly injured. I always hate first person shooters where: "OH CRAP! I got shot in the head by the a sniper!" *5 Seconds Pass* "There we go, all better." *BAM* "OH NO! I got shot in the leg!" *Sprints into the nearest cover a half-mile away* "All better."

I'm glad this one breaks away from the trend, it looked awesome when the girl was getting swarmed by the 25+ zombies that flooded through that storefront. Epic.

[sakiskid]

after I saw that video i had a nightmare of somebig armed FREAK throwin me off a buldin...
looks awsome

[Relys]

Looks like it's going to be a great game!

[Sokuto]

What I want to know is where the physics come into play. Yes, there's ragdoll, but that's in every other game. Is this going to have certain physics elements?

[Ryu Hinote]

I want this game, I love the "lying on the ground when injured" realism. Looks great, I'll be keeping my eyes open.

[WoOt]

I searched one more time and found that Left 4 Dead will be released in stores Summer 2007, but, i havent been able to go the stores recently, does anyone know if they are out right now? If so, please tell. :) :p TY

[SlyTMan]

^lol are you good at searching? I just typed in "gamestop.com." After that I went to search, I typed in "Left 4 Dead." It came up on screen and next to that it said pre-release 11/13/07.

[Batesman1337]

I definitely, really, really want this game. I was just reading my pc gamer magazine, and had to read the article several times before i realised - "Wow, this game is gonna be somethin' ". And yes, I never post on the forums, I quietly browse 'em!:) :) :)

[MeatShake]

My only question is how they'll handle all those npcs, in that one scene you could see about 50-100 climbing over that fence..

[WoOt]

maybe huge space of memory? But yes that is a very good question. :) wow ill have to think of that one.

[Maltor124]

I'm sure the AI must be fairly simple. I mean, they're zombies! How smart do they need to be coded to be? You basically just need to say:

Go to nearest Player

If obstacle encountered, bypass

If movable obstacle encountered, attempt to move, otherwise bypass

If unable to bypass, continue attempting to move

If Player is within X distance, raise speed and lurch

If Player is within Y distance, attack/claw

Doesn't get much simpler than to code zombie AI, since they're stupid. Maybe that's why so many games have them? Easy to code and fun to mess around with, yet still a threat.

[soad667]

You do not need Total Annihilation to play it. Total Annihilation was such a fun game that after the patches and everything ended a bunch of people wanted to try to make there own fully 3d version of it. That is all. There is no way (at least to my understanding) that they'd be able to make it so it's illegal to get TA Spring if you don't own TA because TA Spring is open source.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Btw, me and my buddies waiting L4D for epic lan parties against the zombies...

[Maltor124]

Someone confused threads, I see, McTuble. :) I'll just move that over to the Spring thread.

[Ryu Hinote]

My only question is how they'll handle all those npcs, in that one scene you could see about 50-100 climbing over that fence..

On the Xbox 360, think of Dead Rising, there were about 200+ zombies in view if you were in the service tunnels and they moved around (some with shopping carts!) and they were all doing something, so the number shouldn't be a concern.

I was always amazed at how Dead Rising was always lag free, yet had at least 10-100 zombies in view at all times, and like you said, each doing their own thing. Just goes to show they have great skills at coding and modeling, and is also a tribute to the 360's power.

yeah, too bad dead rising doesnt have ragdoll physics! yet i some how play it hours on end. :D

[soad667]

Valve has announced that L4D will be shown at QuakeCon'07...
It will be playable by attendees and members of the dev team will answer questions - so in one week from now we'll have some more info and gameplay footage available ;)

[PandaPawn]

Wow, im surprised you didnt see that when they people shot the zombies their momentum made them keep running for a second THEN fall over. *cue ragdoll* oh and i'm new here, well not really, i just made my account but
i've been browsing this site since uuuh hamerfall was reviewed. :D

Well, welcome. Just one thing to point out, is the fact that you bumped a thread 4-5 months old. It isn't as much of a problem, but people here are easily flammable and when they go off, you might want to jump into the nearest body of water larger than a swimming pool.

[Maltor124]

Yes, please, in the future, only "bump" a thread past the first page if you have some important information regarding the thread that needs posting.

Welcome, by the way. :)

[Loplop]

I hope its going to be moddable, cus i dont like fast zombies there stupid creations....

[darksaiyan]

Left4Dead uses the Source Engine, and, as it is extremely scalable and, of course, moddable, it will rule! :P If HL2 works on your computer well, this will work well too.
PC gaming will never die just because people don't have consoles at work (where most adults tend to play). That was meant as a joke. My opinion is that computer gaming will never die just because of modding. As someone said in a guide on gamefaqs, computer games will always be 40% cooler than console games just because of moding.
Now, back with the golden rule, the game's physics rock, as all zombies use the ragdoll provided by the Source Engine. Besides that, I love those long tongue zombies when they hang the team-members. And the best thing which is in this game and is missed in all other source games is Rifle Butting. What is cooler than to knock back a zombie with your Shotgun and then splattering their brains all over your team-mate?

Guild Wars is the most fun i've had with a MMO! I'm Beowulf Exodus, add me :D (and no, i didn't see the hollywood movie about Beowulf, I stole the name from the book)

[Nintendo-Guy]

Im SO gonna buy this game when i get a new computer. The computer we had is broken :( But it sucked so who cares. We're getting a much better now! YAY FOR US!!!!!

[soad667]

L4D has been delayed for a September 2008 release, so we have to keep our appetite a bit longer :rolleyes:

[ShaggE]

I sense another Duke Nukem Forever in the making here...

[Loplop]

The delays are stupid first i heard of this was in march 07 in PCG uk, plus i would be looking forward to this if it wasnt for THE ZOMBIES CAN RUN. SUXXORZ

[edthefirst]

Well I think running zombies are fine. I don't see why Zombies can't run. Sure they are supposed to be stupid, but being stupid doesn't wipe out the ability to run.

[Loplop]

But zombies never run since the dawn of time they havent been able to run who put this stupid idea into the heads of modern game devs, its harder to hit them in the head when they run, and ive yet to actually see a game where u can only kill a zombie by destroying its brain.

But I they stumble at 75% full speed, killing them becomes too easy and the only way to lose is with 100 zombies on your back. Plus it makes it scarier trying to outrun a zombie just as fast as you.

Heh, even a small pack of slow zombies can be deadly. Ever play Dead Rising? Those zombies are slow and easy to kill, but let down your guard for one second and you're dead.

[soad667]

That's why an option (or something) for slow/fast zombies would be great... and everyone should be happy ;)

[Kamikaze189]

If you define a zombie as a walking only, undead human, then there are no zombies in the game, period. So there's no need for you to continue complaining about running zombies -- you've said yourselves they don't exist.

Also, don't judge the running baddies until you've played it. You just might like it.

September 2008?! WHAT?!

God, that's a worse delay than GTA IV... I guess the closest I'll get to some zombie-bashing is hitting an old man round the head with a pool cue to the beat of "Don't stop me now!" by Queen. (Shaun of the Dead)

[Zack]

So, its the same thing than Land of The dead in multiplayer mode.

Dude, it JUST turned 2008. September is very close to the END of 2008. I am now unhappy.

I bet GTA IV will have a delay-combo and I'll actually be playing this befoure I get my hands on rockstars's masterpiece.

MEGA BUMP WITH NEWS!


There has been news of the release date. Not exact but an estimation of around what month or day.

It can be found on the steampowered forum under the left 4 dead section.

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=535896

Regarding the Release date for Left 4 Dead
Shacknews has announced that Left 4 Dead has been delayed until Late Summer (Late Winter for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere). This is pretty much confirmed.

Sorry for the bump if it wasn't needed.


Oh awsome... Just noticed that I'm probably late with the news...

Tried though.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. I'd rather play that then Motorstorm. It looks more fun IMHO. Simple and clean.

Anyways, is the release date this summer, then? That would be pretty awesome if it was.

[Amynue]

Runing zombies looks........strange?

[Muntu]

They sure do...
Agh, there are no slow zombies? Or legless zombies? Or... Uh... You know, different zombies? Normal zombie, fat zombie and a strooooong zombie. Too usual IMO. Awesome nonetheless

[edthefirst]

Looks awesome. Although I would like to see a variety. Maybe someone should release a game with a random algorithm for the zombies. I.E. The algorithm would produce different zombies randomly from a variety of settings. So this way you could have a mix of normal, fast, legless, armless, etc.

[Whef]

Damn! That new video looks GREAT! I want to go blow some zombie ass up right now! Whens this game coming out?

[soad667]

Lol, great video. My favourite? That woman -the 'wannabe scream queen' zombie- in the end! ;)

[Ryu Hinote]

Just watching more Left 4 Dead videos and I found that they are the same type of "Zombies" as those in 28 days later. They are supposedly "enraged and wanting to kill anything". It would explain them sprinting as they aren't really the undead, they are more like normal people with all shreds of intelligence ripped away and replaced with bloodlust.
Or I could be completely wrong and they are just fast zombies. :rolleyes:
Either way, I'm gonna buy it on release.

[Loplop]

I still have my fingers crossed for an option to turn slow zombies on or someone mod the speed of the zombies, would be much better.

[juju02]

maybe there will be a gamemode where its slow zombies, but theres x4 of them. yeah.........ps:i pre-ordered for 360........

[Muntu]

I still have my fingers crossed for an option to turn slow zombies on or someone mod the speed of the zombies, would be much better.

Me too. And hey, it's Source, highly moddable platform. So yeah, I believe there will tons of mods.

BTW mods, Amynue.. Banned?

[Odellus]

Whoa, I just noticed that. Why is Amynue banned? And why are the banned people still able to post? I'm confused, but that video looks freaking awesome. Lagtastical I'm sure.

I kno i came on this morning and looked in that weird grammar thread and saw about 4 or 5 people that must have been banned today.

[Dj Demetrius]

Edit: What's with the woman at the end though?

I just watched Gametrailers TV, they say she's called "The Witch". If you don't disturb her, she'll just sit and cry. But if you upset her, she'll kill you in one hit. Creepy!

I hate one-hit kill enemies that come after you. They make you panic and get scared because you just want to get away.

[soad667]

She looks too weak, i guess it'll be a one-hit kill for us too, at least with a shotgun ;)

[edthefirst]

I don't know. I was always fond of 1 hit kill enemies, due to the fact that I play games online that a shot in the correct location guarantees a kill. So I guess I am just used to dying in one blow. Still this game will own all previous games.

Besides this one.

There is a video. It looks fun, except it takes ages to kill zombies. I don't know, maybe it is just me, but I find it would have been way better with insta kill headshots.

EDIT: 5th Page.

Also, Cottage of Doom is amazing for the sheer fact of survival. All you do is try to live. I love those types of games, and more of them should be released.

This is sort of offtopic but in the game that me and Digital Manifestation and some others are developing, it is going to be based of survival with heavy use of physics. Just as a note.

By the way I am really looking forward till L4D comes out, I just cannot wait to play online.

[soad667]

L4D has been delayed again, for a November release :( :eek:
But... in Valve we trust, they sure know what's better for the game.

[Sokuto]

Valve loves to delay their games, but when they do finally release them, they're always amazing.

[ShaggE]

^ Truth. Although the schedule for the HL2 episodes is ridiculous either way. Probably won't see Episode 3 until 2010 at the earliest.

[Sokuto]

Have you noticed how awesome the episodes are, though? Especially Episode 2.

[ShaggE]

Definitely. E2 was incredible. My only complaint was that they laid it on a little thick with the whole "Alyx and Gordon romance" thing. HL2 and E1 had it perfect.

[Dan]

Psht... I wouldn't mind seeing Gordon getting some action... Isn't the age difference kinda large though?

[Sokuto]

The ending was epic too. I never expected Eli to die. But after I finished the game, I remembered how G-Man told Alyx to tell Eli about "unforseen consequences". Eli was also told about that back in Black Mesa when he got the crystal that caused the Resonance Cascade. He promised Gordon further revelations but he died before he said anything. I wonder if he knew what was in the Borealis because he didn't want them to go and use it.

Greatest plot EVAR.

EDIT: "Though Alyx was only a child when Gordon was employed at Black Mesa, Gordon's stasis between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2 has effectively erased any appreciable age gap between the two characters. Gordon effectively remains a man in his mid-to-late twenties, while Alyx ages and reaches the same age group herself." - Wikipedia

So, no, there is no age gap apparently.

Everyone needs to do their part! I'm totally fucked for this game, though. 1)Parents won't buy XBLG (damn Microsoft) 2)My parents don't like buying things online, but my computer probably couldn't handle this anyway D:

You're gonna have to get one sooner or later, especially if you're getting a car.

[soad667]

Pre-purchase (http://store.steampowered.com/app/500/) has begun... ;)

I hope they release a demo with a couple of levels or something, in the meantime.

[geel9]

Hmm, i am definately buying this--though, a demo is always good, to see if you can run it(as the specs are always lower than they really are.)

[Soulmuffin]

Whaat?
I thought L4D was 30 bucks
Hmmph

[soad667]

Whaat?
I thought L4D was 30 bucks

Well, it is... 33, if you're going to pay in euros. :p

Btw, today i was looking for a community site or something, with sections for upcoming maps, skins, etc.
While searching, i found L4D 411 (http://left4dead411.com/).
Not exactly what i was looking, but it has some great info and a huge preview on L4D.
I really enjoyed reading every line in there...

Whatever, if you know any good community site, feel free to post it. ;)

Of course there will be Muslim looking zombies. If Jesus and God can't save Christians, why would they allow Allah and Muhammed to save Muslims as a gameplay element?

Don't suppose anyone knows a release date now?

Unless the internet is lying to me.

My birthday!
Whoopee!

I didnt know the release date before, either.
And, erm, I like the physics.
I especially look forward to playing as a zombie with a tongue, although it would be nice to play as a normal shambler.

I've just downloaded the demo, this game is teh AWESOMIEST! :eek:

[soad667]

Wow, Valve made another gem... as usual.
Pure mayhem and hopefully it runs perfect on my PC.

Really, the AI director is truly amazing as it was written on various previews.
Every time you play, it feels completely different. You never know if you're gonna see a couple of zombies or an entire horde!
It's always random, depending on AI director's mood... :p

Haven't played online yet. Want to get used to the controls etc first.
But i'm already amazed, can't wait for the full game. And thinking how the community treats every Valve's game out there?
Just the thought of the mods/maps/skins that will follow, puts a big smile on my face.

[Ghos7Soldier]

The game itself is badass in short.

It makes me happy.

I don't get this problem.

Something must be hurting your performance in the background or your computer isn't as great as you thought it was.

Only ideas I can come up with.

Hope the problem is solved.

[turunen45]

I pre-ordered this game AND I LOVE THE DEMO!!! the zombies are always trying to bukkake you! i love playing this with my friends! (only demo though... :/ ) I cant wait! this is must have for birthday (that is tomorrow :D) Birthday grats can be pm´d to me if anyone cares :(

[Confused111]

Oh my God, I want this game so much. The thing I love about it is that the main focus of the game is teamwork, and trying to survive together. That and it has zombies in it. :D

Oh and how realistic it is is also interesting. I noticed when one of them got hit by the mutant-gorilla-human-zombie-guy he was laying on the ground like he was wounded, but kept on shooting at it. Things like that make me wet.
Fixed. Heehee.

Imma be the zombie with the long tongue. If you can grab people with it, I'll throw zombies at people.

[soad667]

I "hate" how the Witch can one-hit kill you in no time. And she has a special sympathy for (not the devil) the one that startled her. Before 10 minutes, we heard the Witch crying and saw her right outside the rescue room, where the chapter ends (subways). I found it smart to leave a canister full of gas close to her and shoot it from a distance. Seeing her on fire, running straight to me while yelling and... you know what, was a great experience. Hopefully, the others saved me and we finished the level. ;)

[Confused111]

I have an idea!!! What if you have to play what happens while you are flying away in a helicopter, or escaping in a train. For the chopper, you could see a nuke go off, destroying the city. The endings don't have to be happy though. In a train, hundreds of zombies could climb in, but you don't have any ammo, or the tongue zombie could kill the driver, and then you could crash into debris from an explosion. Who else thinks this would be cool?

[geel9]

Hehe, I love playing as the infected. Exposed console WOOHOO!

I also love BEING the AI director. I turn cheats on, host a local game, switch to spectator, bind keys to spawning mobs and zombies and stuff, and it's so awesome! Spawning mobs is REALLY smart--it doesn't just spawn a crapload of zombies at your mouse cursor, it makes the zombies climb out of windows and shtuff, and go towards the mob spawn place. I love being the tank--it's so fun to knock people over, but I guess the Smoker is my favorite. My motto is:NEVER go off alone! Hehe, whenever I'm the AI director(unofficially, of course) inside my own server with people playing, I say, "Let me give you this warning: NEVER go off alone!"

Then if they go off alone, I either spawn a mob, or I become a smoker behind them and constrict them to death. It's REALLY fun!

[waffle killer]

Hey guys I found out how you can be infected in the demo!

This works for single player only as of now, and is of course an incomplete feature, so don't even think about bugs or balance! This is purely for fun and curiosity!

There are scraps of Versus mode inside the demo. Models, sounds, and yes, even helpful tooltips and hint screens are included for playing the Infected bosses! If this post is somehow against the rules, delete it at your leisure.

1. From the starting screen, click Options, then Mouse/Keyboard, and enable the developer console.

2. Start a single player game and open your console with the ~ key.

3. Type "sv_cheats 1" and press enter. This will enable cheat mode.

4. Type "ent_fire !self setteam 3" and press enter. When you close the console, you will "die" and join the Infected team!

You get to choose where to spawn as a baddie! Press E to cycle through some suggested spawn locations, or to teleport directly to the survivors if you get too far away before spawning. But the next problem is that the AI controlled survivors will not leave their starting room and the game will not start on its own.

5. Open the console and type "director_force_versus_start 1" and enter to begin the round.

The survivors will start hacking their way through the apartment building and you finally get to try your zombie character!

6. When you die (and you probably will), you will not respawn. Press space to cycle through different spectating modes till you are in in free flight mode. You must then use these commands in the console WHILE DEAD.

z_spawn tank
z_spawn boomer
z_spawn smoker
z_spawn hunter

These will spawn you as that infected at the spot you are currently "flying" while dead.

EDIT: I also found out that you can use custom maps and the AI director will automatically choose where the zombies will spawn. NOTE this only works if a map has a .nav file with it. So if you have Counter strike maps you can put that map in the left 4 dead map folder, not forgetting to put models and materials with it, and you can play on it like de_dust.

How come there is a mod visiting the thread without locking it when it's obviously not physics based?

It's like we made the new rule about physics BASED games only but no one wants to follow it :confused:

Don't get me wrong here, about armchair moderating, if I were in charge I would leave threads like this open, because then I have more than 1 forum to discuss it in. It just feels like everyone tries to avoid the new rule.

Because I'm biased and an ass.

No, seriously, I thought I should keep this thread open the same way Far Cry 2 thread was; lockin it few days after release of the public demo or the full version. I, for example, haven't pre-ordered the game so I didn't get my demo yet.

thanks for the info btw

[soad667]

It will be distributed from various sites and retailers, like every other game, but you can't avoid Steam. You still gonna need it to play the game.

Btw, with the latest (yesterday's) patch, it plays a lot better than before. But they blocked the console commands that let you play as the Infected. Well, now we have to wait for the full game to lay our hands on them.

Allow me to say again how different it feels each time you play the same levels over and over. Even with the AI-controlled survivors. The AI director is the best thing about this game. Just finished the demo again. First time, after a LOT of sessions, that we had all the four Boss Infected attacking us in the parking lot, plus some dozens of normal Infected. Two of us almost lost (fell down but rescued) and the other two with energy at half. It was a mayhem, really intense.

[Jow3st]

I'm going at a solid 159 KB/S here. 42% done.

im going a steady 766.8 kb/s doubt ill be able to play it tho but its worth a try

i tryed it and i can watch the video at the beginning but after that the whole screen is white and i cant see what to click

[ShaggE]

I can't believe that the only reason I can't play this demo is because I only have 512 MB of RAM. I exceed every requirement but that. :(

Any other 512ers try the demo? Is it at least somewhat playable with that?

[geel9]

Try it. Hey, if it works, you get an AWESOME game. If it doesn't, you're screwed.

[ShaggE]

Yeah, good point. Not using my bandwidth for anything at the moment anyway. And I'm positive that it's the hordes that chew RAM, so I'll at least be able to shoot a few zombies on Easy before things get bad.

Worst case scenario, I'll just wait for my 360 to get repaired to play it.

I'd say the worst case scenario would be a security guard at a nuclear power plant gets drunk while playing this during his break in the break room then passes out and knocks over miscellaneous nuclear waste lying around and it falls onto the computer and then it opens a space/time portal from the game into RL and zombies take over the world and i will never have the time to get an xbox to play this game before i die.

[ShaggE]

Can't be that bad of a scenario, since it still ends in zombie-killing. :D

The WORST case scenario would be walking to the door to get my refurbished 360 from the porch, just to have Abraham Lincoln float out of the box and yell "GRAPE PARTY!", followed by a flying turtle hitting me in the face and causing amnesia. In the process of recovery, I end up losing all memory of being a gamer, and I spend the rest of my days painting flowers and listening to Simon & Garfunkel.

Okay, I'm done. Any reason why L4D isn't downloading? It just says "Download starting", with the estimated time being 6.3 days.

[ShaggE]

Holy Dead Rising! I'd love to see them all ragdoll at once. :D *puter 'splode*

EDIT: About 5-10 frames per second throughout the demo. Ouch. But it was still a blast.

[turunen45]

[MrGreed]

Aww, the patch fixes some of the console command exploits, now I can't be Infected anymore. D:

Oh well, the game's incredible anyway.

[BiT]

I have been playing the demo since it came out for pre-orderers.
And there's only one thing I can say. I really really like it!

[DarkJee]

Yes this game is amazing!

But I hope that the zombie gameplay in versus mode will not be ruined...

And, do someone know if it has a survival mode? where there are infinite zombies that are comming by waves or something like that?

Thanks


Oh and one more thing: first time I played the game was perfectly fluid, and the ragdoll was perfect too, but since yesterday, when I play, it's always lagging and its not fuild, and the ragdolls are acting very slowly... I don't know why...
Thanks

How would it be ruined? I fully trust Valve on dropping off another amazing final product. Like with every game they have released!

And no, I don't think so.
There isn't anything about it in the menus and I haven't read/heard about it at all. Maybe someone will make a mod like that though ;)

[ShaggE]

If you hang around a spot and refuse to move on, the Director will keep sending things at you. I guess that could be your survival mode there. :p

[Jow3st]

Hopefully the Versus mode will be more balanced health-wise, since the boss Infected are not driven by AI, but the players. I hope they ct the Tanks health by half and increase his speed for the Versus mode. Also, the hunter could use a little more health than an average CS:S player. The Smoker should be able to shadow meld, since he is so weak and can't move when his tongue shoots out, just keep his tongue invisible, but keep him invisible when he stands still.

Google the connection error, and find out if there's some way to fix it. You can try deleting clientregistry.blob, or reinstalling, or something of the type.

I have to google a new error that hammer editor decides to create for me all the time. I do that almost every week now.

.. Somehow though, every error I get ends up in me realizing, after 2 hours, that I have a leak in my map, and that's what's causing the problem.

HL2 could have been done without physics, but the addition of physics just added another dimension to the game. Same thing with L4D, physics is not at the "core" of the game, it's just a little icing on the cake. L4D would be completely doable without physics. All you would be missing would be ragdolls, useless physical objects like milk cartons and MAYBE breaking open doors with the shotgun. Actually, the doors could just be set to be replaced by "brokendoor005.mdl" when the damage level is high enough.

Meh, they are just talking about their laptops and and N-Gs is sucky and Farbrors is "tiptop" which would.. Uh, top-notch.

Anyways, umm.. I don't like the way the screen follows the mouse kinda slow, especially when I've gotten used to CS:S.

Just change the sensitivity.

Zombies have Valve-Euphoria. Really.

No, it's just the best and most complete animation blended ever to have graced us that so seamlessly integrates with ragdolling that it seems almost like euphoria.

He wondering if he should get this game on the 360 (which he shouldn't) or get a DS lite. Reading comprehension.

Yeah, aiming on a console sucks.

[samysam]

Well for one, aiming on consoles in an FPS sucks.

[Sokuto]

FPS on console = no if you have a decent computer.

...But... Steam is awesome... ;_;

Also your computer is good enough to run it, maybe not on all high, but this really NEEDS to be played on PC, in my opinion. It's too fast paced for analog, and in my opinion, you're missing half of the fun if you can't mess around with the console.

...But... Steam is awesome... ;_;

If you don't notice the massive loading times, and your entire computer freezing just so you can see "update news" (ads) when you exit a game, then yes it is awesome.

The funny thing is, even before L4D was announced, there was fast zombies on CSS. L4D is just a MUUUUUUUCH better version. Am I the only one that prefers fast zombies?

[GreyMario]

Yes.

What?

....

That doesn't happen to me.

[IDeA]

What?

....

That doesn't happen to me.

Start: Launching game window - it takes quite a while to load-launch.
End: Update news - it kinda freezes, so you can't do anything while the ads load.

I think i'm not the only one that encountered lag with this version of steam.

That does not happen. At all.

1. Must be my computer.

What happens to me (or at least did happen for a while), I'll be playing a game, and then for no reason, It'll crash. After waiting 10 minutes to find out why, I learn that the update news crashed it.

Then I'd say to myself, sarcastically, "Well hey, at least I know that some game I'll never care about is out now!"

That doesn't happen anymore though. and there's absolutely no reason not to get steam, considering the fact that you don't even have to start it up if you don't want to, plus the free games you can get with an ATI and Nvidia graphics card.

It does occasionally crash, and the loading times for games are a bit high, but the whole community thing and free games make up for it.

I've had to deal with steam for 4 years though, so maybe I've just gotten used to it.

[BiT]

Steam is fine.

[Mushisbeast]

Steam is pissing me off! I got it on one computer and it wouldn't even run (it would log in then just close straight away) and then I got it on another computer and Garrys Mod wont even start! (it's stuck on the loading page at the start) But maybe that last one is the games fault :confused:

[turunen45]

Am I the only one that prefers fast zombies?

Nope. my favorite movie is 28 Days & weeks later. and just for that reason.

Wait more time, source games usually take time to load at the menu.

[samysam]

In zombie theory, the only reason zombies are run fast or not is dependent on when the zombie became a zombie... when somthing becomes a zombie the the body it dead itself but something keeps the thoughts alive (such as a virus) so depending on how long the body was dead determens how much muscle is still there... more muscle the faster they run


just i was explaining why a zombie would run fast ...


im just agreeing with kirby

[Farbror Fazer]

ok...? Had to read that a couple of times and I still don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Where are you from?:confused:
