Forums - PC Discussion - Why is Left 4 Dead so hyped

I've been hearing so much hype about Valve's upcomming game Left 4 Dead and I can't seem to understand why.

I've tried watching dozens of gameplay videos, trailers, interviews etc.. and I can't see what is so good about this game.
The one thing I find cool is the online co-op but still Resistance 2(which I will be getting) will have co-op with 8 players + a single player campaign and a whole lot of competitive modes.

Maybe it's just because I find that Valve's games have been really overrated (except for CSS and Portal). I've been really trying to get back into PC gaming since I got my PS3 but up to now the only game that interests me is Crysis Warhead.

So why is Lef 4 Dead so highly anticipated? Is it because it's another Valve game? Is it because of the online co-op?

Because up to now I can't really find anything that interesting about the game.

 

 Reasons:

------------

1. Valve is creating the game

2. It has zombies in it

3. It's running off of the Counter-Strike engine

4. It's a fast paced survival shooter, unlike house of the dead and it's likeness. It looks like it will take alot of teamwork and watching each others backs. I like this concept, because Zombies can creep up from behined you and it's been said that you cannot survive this game on your own, so it adds extra difficulty.

Don't know but people here think that I'll be bigger that LBP.

 

 Whoever said Left 4 Dead will be bigger than LBP is a moron. That statement is so false it's a mystery why anyone would say such a thing.

The good news is there will be a emo coming around the end of october for 360 and PC so we can get our hands on it and see if it lives up to the hype. I am excited for the reason everyone states above.

I think a demo is always a good sign



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

I say number 1 is that it is a valve game



Kyros on 27 October 2008

So why is Lef 4 Dead so highly anticipated?


Weird question. IT IS FROM VALVE. V A L V E. *sigh*

i guess since i is a valve game that already has something good going for it.

I probably won't earn many friends for saying this, but I am not a fan of Valve. Half-life was absolutely great, but Half-life 2 is a game I find bizarrely lauded and loved. HL2 : Episode 1 was borderline garbage, but Episode 2 was actually quite cool.

They are hit or miss I think, not guarenteed gold as many believe. I have purchased HL1, HL2, HL2:EP1 and the Orange Box, but I won't be getting this game methinks.
