Search for it on Google if you don't know what I'm talking about. It comes out on November 20th(I think) and it looks great.

It can't be as bad as Dead Rising.
I've not read much on it, but from what I have been told, it could be pretty good.
(Saying that, I thought Star Wars:The Forced Unleashed was going to be good, How very wrong I was.)

HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME!

Dead Rising was a great game. Left 4 Dead looks like a radically different game and I can't wait to try it out.

Is there split screen multiplayer?

Capcom did a stand up job with the Level design, graphics, AI etc.
The person in charge of the controls should have quite honestly been given a smack.

Also whoever it was who decided the game shouldn't be multilayer and decided to leave out any sort of "God Mode" or Infinite Ammo, is probably on the same level with somebody who spoons ice cream into a toaster.

Dead Rising could have been so so so so Great, the lack of major features and to be honest, easy to implement features in this day and age, just made the game fall down on so many levels.

I actually think they made the perfect game, with easier controls (Where you don't have to stop in order to shoot, you aren't blasted on your ass every time you get shot), Multilayer, Infinite mode with all weapons on your person with infinite ammo.

When they had made this perfect game, they most likely had a board meeting to discuss how they could make the game more irritating.

It just angers me because they were so close. I hardly play on it now. Lost its charm after 10 minutes when you started to run out of ammo in such a glorious shooting range.



Its the same with Star Wars:The force "Unleashed". I've quite honestly seen more fury unleashed when I open a tin of spaghetti hoops. Lucas Arts had 2 amazing new technologies at their disposal. The result being a poorly scripted bath of despair when you send a barrel flying God knows where, instead of a storm trooper.
If you're the sort of person who enjoys the mindless button bashing in a linear snooze fest of conveniently placed objects, Then the forced unleashed is for you.
I was quite expecting to drool over the spectacular use of DMM and Natural motion. Smashing the rare piece of glass or blasting through the 100th door every centimeter isn't my idea of fun.

Indeed
I dont know why the heck no one has made a great co-op zombie game yet. I love co-op, and so few games have it, so that any game that does, I usually get it.


This is my WIP, not even ready for a WIP thread yet though.http://smallgroupproductions.com/

RalphY approves of this game, and eagerly awaits adding it to his steam account.

In other words, yes.

There are several words that would fit into those 4 stars. Each one of them funnier than the next.

I am planning on getting Left 4 Dead. Mainly because it's Valve doing a co-op game.

You might wanna get that cough checked out... I've heard that many coughs in one post can mean an incurable forum cold... The only way to make it reasonable to deal with is to not post stupidity for a while.

Well to be fair he was indeed correct - Turtle Rock Studios made Left 4 Dead, they were then bought out by Valve not that long ago.

No way am I getting L4D, looks rubbish, probably will be rubbish. Saw a preview of it in PCZONE and that was crud. Save up for Dead Space instead coming out on Halloween if you're into horror games.

The only thing I don't like with Dead Space (from the videos I've seen) is the camera angle of which the third person view takes place, -it's basically positioned in such a way that you are unable to see what's on your left side. Other than that it looks pretty awesome.

As for Left 4 dead, I am definitely going to get it. I like zombies (but not zombieclowns aww..:S I so afraided)

I allways afraided from a clowns. aww..

Did you see the newest videos?Left 4 Dead already got multiplayer game awards and it's not even out yet. Guess you don't like Valve's games.
