New Left 4 Dead footage

yep watched a few of them and its looking superb ... sure is a lot of quality shooters on the way for PC gamers
 
i really wanted this, but the more i see, the more i dislike it

everyone runs too fast, as in your team, i like how the zms run, but still, the humans sprint everywhere. it looks WAY too easy to pop caps in everyone in your team aswell, just asking for a load of tkers there, regardless of this reward point system they want to implement.

and the graphics. its the source engine i swear, with a few dynamic lights? not terrible, but it should be next gen really, considering its been in the can for a long time.
 
i love the way the zombies just come rushing at the screen , they move really fast, most games with zombies move slow this is new in a game

think 28 days later style enemies. theyre not like 'eat your brain' zombies. they are infected with something like rabies and just go mental when they see you.

still looks fun, but it just screams of people either: leaving half way through the game, tkers, just crappy teamwork, hence everyone dies. goes on and on :(

shame, as the concept is very good, but as i say, an online game is only ever as good as the nubcakes who play it
 
Looks like you run 20 mph on this game :O the graphics look like Americas Army (not that impressive) But.... online co-op?

Not bothered about the graphics if its gameplay is amazing.

Ashame though i would have expected to look like CS Source but with zombies and different guns.

But as i stated up above..... CO-OP!!!!!! :D:D:D

not if you form a bunch of reliable people , like a clan
 
Very true. I've been playing zombie master mod a lot and it really spoils it when you get someone going around blowing all the barrels, mouthing off in chat and blocking doorways on purpose. It's a rare game when you don't get someone doing at least one of those things too.

Need more in-game mechanisms to stop people from doing anti-social stuff. Dunno what those could be though.

I don't see it as being the sort of game you play with randoms anyway - I'd certainly only play it with a bunch of mates!

It looks ok to me, though have to say I really don't like the thing where you get a glowing outline of your team mates through walls or round corners etc.

Agree with the comments that everyone seems to run too fast too.

That said i'd be tempted to give it a whirl.

Can't wait for this game, been waiting since it was announced. I think it doesn't look too bad visually, some nice lighting and atmosphere here and there.

I love co-op games, as long as the ai is good, and the human/infected sides are balanced well, it should be a blast with some mates.
 
i agree aob, i think if you have a health bar on it but.... if you die easily its good because it makes you think.... Crap! im not running in and these sodding Zombies are chasing me.

Also, the little glowing teammates when they are in a seperate room is a bit rubbish as valve90210 pointed out... its harder and more fun in my opinion when you cant locate your teammates etc.

My thoughts:

1. Slow the game speed down ie. character movement speed.
2. Glowing characters errrrr.
3. If bitten by a zombie etc. you need a special antidote given to you by a medic in your team..... this medic say only carries 3 antidotes but more can be found on the map/level. If not treated your health drops 1% every 20 seconds?
4. Certain teammates can get through certain puzzles and have to discover on their own for say a 1 minute ... for example :- Come to a door that is locked and cant be open as its reinforced.... but theres a small gap in a wall.... only one member of the team is small enough to pass through. Then on the other side there is enemies/zombies... the team member must then kill the zombies on there own then open the door from the other side.

Anyone else got any other ideas they would like to see in the game? or know anymore about the concept of the game and would like to share with us?
