Forums - Gaming - Left 4 Dead 3 Leak

I never gave a reason. I, in fact, said that I can picture Left 4 Dead 3 being on Ps3/Ps4. I just called it! I don't think Valve will give Ps players the third entry of a franchise without the other two, unless they're planning to give them all.

The Left 4 Dead franchise isn't really story dependent so there really is no reason to play the earlier entries, especially after all these years. Since the franchise is pretty much pure gameplay, each successor is just a superior version of the former. 

I rarely see anybody choosing to play L4D1 when they have the option of L4D2. 

I mean, you could be one of those people who enjoyed L4D1 more than L4D2 (or who will enjoy L4D2 more than 3), but those people are probably in a very tiny minority. Besides, it wouldn't seem that Valve cares about them anyway, because if they did, they would have ported the games over already.

I would be willing to bet that a cost/benefit analysis of a L4D trilogy as opposed to L4D3 would prove that the extra cost/time of the trilogy would outweight any potential benefits it would bring.

Well there have been other circumstances where this has occures, although it was not with Valve.  Ex. Mass Effect 3 was on Wii U with the first and second ones being absent.  I think they would want to put it on as many consoles, that are profitable, as then can.


Yes, but that was seriously screwing from EA, since they didn't have any real motive for not releasing the Trilogy as they did with the Xbox and Ps3 version (On which the Ps3 finally got Mass Effect 1).


Also the thing with the L4D games is they really have no story.  So not playing the first and second games will not be that big a deal and I don't think Valve will care if this is the first L4D that PS gamers play because it really is one of those games that you can just pick up and play without playing any of the previous games.

Wright, don't get so defensive, the game will be out on playstation

Infact it's more likely to land on the ps4, then it would be with the xbox one, given how much more open sony are with the pc platform

What are you both talking about? The L4D games have an intense story unlike any other game. It's a tale of friendship, of love and survival. In fact the story is so damn good. Can't say more, it would be spoilers!

^And yes, Gabe seems to dislike MS now, way more than he did when L4D was made. He loves the openness of Sony platforms, and hates the closeness of MS platforms. He also hates that MS is trying to monopolize PC digital games with Windows 8

I don't think they're going to spite MS because of that PC stuff, the Xbox One seems pretty open with the indie stuff and 'every console being a dev kit'?

Besides, it never stopped them from porting to the 360, and that was more closed off than X1.
