PC Gamer has posted a 10 minute video podcast with the best look at Left 4 Dead so far. The podcast shows an entire playthrough from the perspective of four doomed survivors, including every boss zombie: plenty of views of the Hunter, including a pounce kill (at 7:38), the Smoker, a few great pukes from the Boomer, the Tank (smashing two Survivors across a room at 6:40), and also even the Witch killing two Survivors in a split second with one shot (you can see the Survivors walking right by her at 5:08, then watch the health bars at 5:12 when two people suddenly die).
"Zombies, undead, infected… call em' what you want… they just want to eat your brains! Left 4 Dead is your new favorite game, you just don't know it yet. At PC Gamer's recent Showdown LAN, The Turtle Rock Studios/Valve crew were on hand to demo this amazing survival-horror-multiplayer-intensely-co-op masterpiece. See what happens (it ain't pretty) when the PC Gamer gang tries to survive the zombie apocalypse…again."

Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
He wants to launch all his projects initially through close beta.
TheGamer Writes "No game will ever surpass Left 4 Dead in the co-op horde shooter genre, so maybe it's time to move on."
It’s the simplistic design coupled with mod support that makes it unbeatable. I feel like it can only be succeeded by a remake or the same gameplay design with updated graphics, animations, weapons and new setting. Thing is, Valve doesn’t create or release games unless they feel it pushes the medium forward. They’re not interested in reselling the same content refreshed or not.
Thats the tightest vid I've ever seen. I've been waiting to long to play in 28 days later, and this is it! DEFINITE BUY
I hope PC games stay friendly with the 360, their a good ally against the ps3 and psp, plus PC games rule!
Agreed. This game looks amazing. The carnage is, as one guy put, insane (or something along those lines). Definitely a buy.
I'm sure it'll be one of the best multiplayer games i've played in some time, if not ever.
I hope it is comming to consoles soon.
