I think Valve should be careful not to alienate the hardcore. They're the ones who help you during tough times (Gamecube, PS3, etc)

ROFLOL...Hardcore gamers had better not abandon Valve, or we might end up with overhyped shooters that fail to perform!

Are you reffering to Killzone 2? Because that was, and still is, fun. Do you even own it? I don't pass judgements on Halo 3 (or any other Xbox 360 exclusive) because I NEVER PLAYED them.

I also don't need to show you the Mountain Dew cans for Halo 3 do I, if you're talking about Killzone 2 being one of the most hyped up games?

Just because these people are in the minority doesn't mean Valve shouldn't listen to these guys. Also watching the video one guy said "We'll see what the gamers want" And I doubt they surveyed the fans before January (Because thats when they started working on it) And I doubt the fans said "We want a new game"

What if they are still planning on releasing expansions though? I mean honestly, Call of Duty have 3 popular games that people still play (Call of Duty 2,4 and 5). I just merely don't see the reason why people are so upset over the issue. I'd still play Left4Dead if Left4Dead2 comes out. Hell, I'd be more willing to buy Left4Dead because it will probably drop in price.


Wouldn't that just make Left for Dead basically Left for Dead 2 then? Why upgrade then? In the video the guy said "We'll release new maps, new weapons, and new monsters" Thats exactly what they said L4D2 will have.

pfff who cares ? That group only consists of 13.500 members.
Valve won't react to them and I bet that at least 50% of those members will buy L4D2 on release week.

While I have no problem with the new environments (including daylight), I do think that these people have a point when it comes to feeling like Left4Dead is being abandoned in favor of the sequel. They promised a whole lot of new content and the only truly new thing we've gotten (not counting the ability to play versus mode on the other levels) was survival mode and the SDK for modders (and the SDK was long overdue).

It seems like Left4Dead 2 will be bigger, but since it's set to come out only a year after the first game with all the stuff they promised they would have been supporting the first game (they promised a TF2 level of support), I think people are within their right to be a little steamed.

Lastly, a big 'lol' to those saying these are PS3 fanboys considering this is a Steam group and upon looking at the members, you'll see that many are playing Valve games like TF2 and Left4Dead.

---

Now, after hearing Valve's explanation of Left4Dead 2, I can give them a little benefit of the doubt since it seems like they're going to be tweaking the formula of the game and such. However, I still believe the people upset have good reason to be. Considering Left4Dead is $40 on Steam and has now been rendered obsolete, we probably wont see any more content released for it outside of bug fixes and such. In a way, it's kind of like a middle finger to the awesomeness of the recent free weekend and release of the survival mode.



This just in: 1 million gamers not boycotting game.

Since you're using anecdotal evidence, there's no proof that the people who are happy about the sequel (and the converse of course) are in the majority.

All people have the right to an opinion, and should be polite to everyone, and not be rude to others just because they're holding an different opinion than yours. Really, why are people getting so passionate as to insult each other?
