Can't wait to play this on my 360.

green5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

It looks far superior to L4D and IMO the changes warrants it this to be called a sequel.Already pre ordered, so just bidding my time until November. Can't wait.

I did not murder him5404d ago

Agreed... Its surprising to me actually.

All Time Greatness5404d ago

Jumpin Jahosaphat!

It looks better than the first, and I love the first. That = win.

I did not murder him5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

Yeah the lighting engine looks tweaked the HDR lighting was crazy. It just looks more polished graphically and gameplay wise. The detail and lighting on the guns blew me away. The background environments look much more polished. The Zombie models have amazing detail and their animations are much better. The game just looks smoother.

Jeromejones5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

Cant wait to play it on my PC.

*runs away

OmarJA5404d ago

Run! & watch your bubbles, LOL!

I did not murder him5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

Oh my! disagrees for saying it looks good? lol

Looks like somebody isn't happy why don't you go post some more petition articles.

menoyou5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

Looks exactly like the first one. Waste of money IMO. Full price for this? yea right. When you can buy all those other great games coming out this year. There are tons and they are all worth the $60.

Camper5404d ago

What a total milkage

This could been in DLC but they decided to charge full price game

Took less then a year to make part 2? Yea OK more like expension

This company is joke and u fanboys keep supporting them

Tell me when was last u saw a sequel comming out in less then a year?

NONE

xSuprax5404d ago

Yeah and so is Fifa and Madden,and there just lame sport games.

Left 4 Dead 2 looks awesome,the graphics look way better.If Milkage is this good then serve me another cup.

y0haN5404d ago

The graphics don't look "way better" they look similar, and maybe you just aren't used to seeing PC games look as good as they do. Also comparing a Valve game to a genuinely milked year-in-year-out series of games, nice.

Hell yeah 360 version for me lol here comes the droids saying i'm getting this for pc.

PotNoodle5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

I'll be getting it for PC, does that make me a "droid"?

EDIT: I bought the first one on 360 if that makes you lot feel better..

peeps5404d ago

indeed. i own a 360 and pc but my pc will give me better results than the 360 version + mods. not to mention it will also be cheaper. But i guess because i'm not getting the 360 version i'm a droid haha

shocky165404d ago

There is nothing to be a droid about getting the better PC version.

Either way we all get to enjoy this fantastic game!

OmarJA5404d ago

These bots needs to convice them self to feel better, no kid most of us don't care...

Have playing with your Counter Strike\Team Fortress new mod.

xjxdoggggystyle5404d ago

yer right droids will say OH PC IS BETTER IMA GET IT ON MY GAMIN RIG lol noobs
this looks awesome another great xbox 360 game

Obama5404d ago

Well it is not exclusive so I will get it for the PC stupid bot.

All Time Greatness5404d ago

Its 360 console Exclusive.

Microsoft has Games for Windows and will always look to provide games for and in the real world, nobody cares. You can't play it on PS3, and thats the point. No one cares if you can boot it up on your PC lmao.

Obama5404d ago

Everyone who is a fan of ps3 is branded as Nasim nowadays. Who cares if it's console exclusive? The point is I own a ps3 and a pc, so I can play all ps3 games and most 360 exclusives. You are so far up MS's butt cheek so you may not see the point.

I did not murder him5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

Isn't strange how they always make issue of it like Games for Windows and the Xbox 360 are rival products as if they were each made by rival companies. The game is exclusive to MS.

Obama5404d ago

"You are so far up MS's butt cheek so you may not see the point."

Proved my point. I am against some of the MS's practices and its console that has a high failure rate, but I do like using window xp. See, I am a big supporter of the ps3 but I am not a slave to Sony. The same can't be said about you bots and MS.

All Time Greatness5404d ago

You think you got everyone fooled but you're the only tool here.

Quick Nasim... go get on Nelson M, Ken Kutaragi, -xRedx-,Ultimate Revenge, Snipermk0, Too Hyped,Microsoft Xbox 360, Microsoft Spokesman, Shane Kim, King Kaz, DevilHunterX, Zombieman1, El Botto and your 1,000 other that are blatantly obvious.

There are more of us true 360 fans on this site than you PS3 fanboys, 50% of the PS3 fans on this site are really Nasim lmao.

r2kcipher5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

If it makes u guys happy. I will buy a 360 just for this one game, and gladly pay the extra $10 for the console version. Instead of buying it for my perfectly capable pc.

My total unwise spending for the sake of Microsoft comes to $310 plus tax. Oh wait I need to get live too.....

EDIT: @all time greatness. You must admire nasim for his ability to manage time. I mean if what you say is true he must have no time to eat, sleep, make a living, or play any videogames. What he does is incredible but, he needs to be banned, for having multiple accounts. So what u should do is report everyone who says they own a ps3. Starting with me!!

peeps5404d ago

i really don't get xbox fanboys argument??

going 'ha you can play it on pc but not ps3!!!' and... you're laughing at someone for being able to play a game... but not on your 'rival console'. Surely it doesn't matter what platform you play the game on... if you can play the game why does it matter, just cus you're not playing it on the 360 doesn't make you a ps3 fanboy lol

Pandamobile5403d ago

Games for Windows has nothing to do with L4D2.

xdye0175404d ago

@DeathroW22, if you own a PS3 but don't own an xbox.....yes.

The game looks good. Day 1 purchase.

PotNoodle5404d ago

I do own both a PS3 and xbox 360, but i don't get how it makes you a "droid" if you don't own an xbox but get the PC version?

I don't get it.

Gamer_Politics5404d ago

because that all ps3 fanboys say when comes to console exclusive 360 games..

I did not murder him5404d ago

I agree a lot of droids have been exposed to windows too long. Their hate for MS is a non factor with -Games For Windows- gaming so they deal with it. They continue to hate on other MS products with unhealthy malice because these products have not monopolized their respective markets. In other words droids have little choice when it comes to top of the line PC gaming.

PotNoodle5404d ago

But why do you care so much about what they say?

And what is so bad about them getting it anyway, are they not allowed to enjoy a good game too?

All Time Greatness5404d ago

Deathrow22 everyone knows your a last place PSTard, no one cares about it being on PC....Microsoft has a PC platform to take care of also. I might be getting this on PC.

The point is its console Exclusive to Xbox 360 and cannot be played on the PS3.

PotNoodle5404d ago

"Deathrow22 everyone knows your a last place PSTard"

How do you work that one out? I'd love for you to explain.

All Time Greatness5404d ago

You're a PS3 fanboy aka last place PSTard.

PotNoodle5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

No no, explain to me why you think i'm a PS3 fanboy?

You can think about getting it on PC but i cannot? How is it any different?

I'm not sat here claiming that it isn't exclusive or anything like that, i'm simply asking what is so bad about choosing the PC version over the 360 version?

All Time Greatness5404d ago

No one cares if you get it on PC, your the one asking dumb droid questions.

The point is it isn't on PS3, the only console you can get it is Xbox 360 and ofcourse Microsoft also supports their PC platform and will continue to, it's still not on PS3.

PotNoodle5404d ago (Edited 5404d ago )

Wait what? I'm not saying to say anything about it not being exclusive, i'm not even talking about the PS3!

I'm just saying that i'll be getting the PC version of left 4 dead 2 this time around instead of getting it on 360 like i did with the first left 4 dead.

Why am i getting attacked for that? And why am i getting called a PS3 fanboy for that, i have not mentioned the PS3 at all since this post, it has nothing to do with that platform.

peeps5404d ago

wow just wow. You're having a go at someone for wanting to play L4D2 on pc rather than 360 screeming fanboy fanboy, you should really take a look in the mirror.

If someone wants to play a game why does it matter what platform they play it on.

tehReaper5404d ago

DeathroW22

Although you may or may not be a fanboy, you are in cautious waters. Every time Microsoft has an exclusive game or franchise release also on PC, PS3 fanboys are quick to say "Ohh, it's not exclusive, I'll play it on my l337 gaming rig". Happens EVERY time.

See with PS3 fanboys, you don't just get the regular fanboy crap, you get even worse. If the 360 has an exclusive, doesn't matter what it is, the fanboys try their hardest to act like no one cares about it, downgrade the graphics, etc.

I mean, you were here for last fall weren't you? Do you recall any spoilers going around, particularly the Gears variety? That's how lame PS3 fanboys can be. They resort to ruining games for people.

I tried to sum it up for you.

PotNoodle5404d ago

I was here last fall and was too annoyed at the gears spoilers, but to jump on everyone saying they want to get the PC version of an xbox 360 game is pathetic.

The problem isn't just in the PS3 fanboys, but in these xbox fanboys who sit here getting annoyed by it, who react and constantly do things they complain about the other side doing.

I was called a "droid" as soon as i said i'll be getting the PC version, before anyone even knew if i even was a PS3 owner, infact before anyone knew i even had any console. Pathetic, don't you think?

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN34d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit34d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead34d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica34d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL34d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit33d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper33d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica32d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer34d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit34d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer34d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit33d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218334d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer34d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218333d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper33d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal34d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood34d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218333d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde34d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Valve Made Left 4 Dead 2 Because The First Game Was A Broken Mess

Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."

Number1TailzFan146d ago

And then couldn't be arsed to make a third game.

If they can add a lot more stuff to a 2nd game in just 1 year why didn't they make a third game a few years later with tons of stuff extra? Because that shows they could've.

I know Source 2 was kind of broken and was a reason they cancelled L4D3 but it seems wasteful to just toss it away.

Don't know what Valve were thinking.. it's like nobody wanted to fix the issues to get going. They certainly aren't the Valve of 2004 that released fun games with pretty cutting edge graphics.

cthulhucultist144d ago

Valve is allergic to number 3 it seems. It would be easier for them to release a Left 4 Dead 2.5 enhanced version instead of releasing a game with "3" slapped on its title.

rakentaja143d ago

They stopped making games a long time ago. Steam brings in so much money that it's really not worth the effort. Nowadays, people only look for faults in games, and spend more time whining on Twitter/X than playing the game anyway. Valve says a big fat no-no.

anast144d ago

Value is the Blockbuster of video games. They have no need to invest in deving a game, when they can make handfuls of cash renting them.

-Foxtrot146d ago

What are they talking about? Seemed pretty alright to me at launch it just wasn't supported the way Valve promised us

They should have just worked on a revamp / massive update to the game but they didn't they jumped straight to a sequel with brand new characters despite having some sort, if small, story about where the original survivors were heading.

I didn't care for the direction they took the sequel, the original games tone and atmosphere was missing in the second game and is still unmatched. Daytime levels, more whackiness, melee weapons where you could attack a Tank with a frying pan...just wasn't the same to be honest and the new survivors just didn't hold up the originals.

Here's my speculation. I think they did a sequel because they didn't want to update a game co-developed by Turtle Rock, they wanted the franchise to be known as a Valve game only and knew if they updated the first one Turtle Rocks name would still linger on it.

shaenoide144d ago

I want broken games like L4D all day long...

GhostScholar144d ago

Well the first game was by far the best
