Superb AI.

For some reason this game is just not grabbing me. I like the idea, but it just doesn't seem that fantastic. People are raving about it simply because it's Valve and they can apparently do no wrong.

As for the OP, the AI doesn't look that good really. In other videos it looks shockingly bad, more like a HL2 guy or CS:S bot than anything else. I certainly wouldn't want it on a console either!

I'm raving about it because I've always wanted a Zombie game that's good with fast moving enemies, even more so an FPS game.

The addition of co-op is icing on the cake, plus you don't seem to be taking into account the mods that will come out because of Left 4 Dead, I cannot wait for a refined Zombie Mod (Multiplayer) to come out.

This along with Little Big Planet is one of the few unique games this year, not really just another FPS at least.

You must be joking, right?

How is it not just another FPS, that's exactly what it is and a poor one at that.

Granted gfx aren't everything, but if they were any good at least it could have something going for it as the gameplay looks far to repetative and not fun at all. I could see a fair few console pads & keyboards being smashed up over christmas.

Name one other first person Zombie survival horror game.

I know me and friends will have a blast on this game, so whatever. As for repetitive, the Zombies change every time in spawn locations and the amounts of them, plus user-made maps and modifications, need I say more.

Unless you mean the gameplay mechanics will get repetitive, but name a game that doesn't.

Looks good to me. Gaming press has been bumming this for months now, must be a reason for that.

You haven't even played it, how can you say its poor?

How is LBP not just another platform game?

How is Spore not just another god game?

see where I'm going?

No, do you??

Jahid stated it was unique & not just another FPS when it clearly is even though it's now got zombies in it instead of being soldiers or monsters etc

I'm not defending LBP or Spore as being anything different than a platform & god game, but I am defending the point that L4D is just another FPS and not unique.

And no obviously I haven't played it but imo from those video's I'd say it has little to offer and overall looks a very poor FPS.

Margaret · 11 Aug 2008 at 22:56

So you've decided to not name another first person zombie game, let alone one with co-op and online play.

Totally not unique, loads of others games have done the same thing in the past.

Oh wait...

mehuk · 11 Aug 2008 at 23:02

looks cool

NokkonWud · 11 Aug 2008 at 23:04

The Resident Evil Survivor games?

Ok just to keep you happy, well you have Siren which obviously includes Zombies & can be played first person but I'm sure you won't be happy with that, so the closest match would the zombie mod for CS:S which was free and rubbish also.

Halo 3 has 4 player co-op, and was also a FPS but oh wait it had monsters not zombie's so that's not comperable at all....

Im going to get this on PC ( as its not on the PS3 yet lol), it looks a good FPS game to me, the MP part of this game beat Res 2, gow2, and all the rest at E3 this year as best online multiplayer game.

Yet I'd be surprised if the online side of it is as widely played as the two you mentioned.

msmalls with his pc comments trotted out as per usual lol

I'm sure you wouldn't have to spend a lot to get this game running on your PC, might be better off downgrading it tbh

Well he doesn't own an Xbox360, he wants to play the game so it has to be PC and he wants to play it.

I fail to see where he went wrong? But of course you have to wade in with
your annoying
sentences
and try to start something.

Strange comment :confused:

I want to play this game and i can play it on my PC? or is that not allowed? Yep i do say if a game is on the PC and 360 i will get the PC version as i can play the game on that. Fallout 3 is on the PS3,360 and Pc, but im 90% sure ill get the PC version as from my experience with Oblivion the PC version will probably be the best, so its not an anti 360 thing. Stop trying to make it something its not, others who have all the consoles and a PC have also said they will get the PC version so whats the problem? Or am i only allowed to buy exclusive games for the PC now?

oh Yeah LOL
