StickSkills: "Valve recently opened the public partners side of SteamWorks and it appears as that may have backfired. A user of the website did some brute forcing and stumbled upon a SteamWorks page for Left 4 Dead 3."
A Left 4 Dead 3 reference was spotted in the files of the Counter-Strike 2 closed beta, suggesting that the title may finally be in development.
Not the first time it's been referenced. Valve said years ago that it wasn't in development, but of course things change. L4D3 was supposedly almost finished at one point but development stopped because Source 2 was still incomplete.
Most of the time you get people saying a third game isn't needed as there's nothing to improve upon anyways, which is complete nonsense. I have to wonder if those that say such things have junk computers or something. Why they'd want to keep playing the same repetitive thing over and over is beyond me.
Valve's Robin Walker elaborates on the rumored Left 4 Dead 3, Portal VR, and a whole lot more in this month's IGN Unfiltered.
If they are going to do more VR stuff, I prey it's not exclusive stuff
No one wants VR exclusive Portal, L4D stuff, give us the option and let everyone play, especially with how long we've all been waiting for new instalments to these games.
I'd like to see a new Counter Strike, that has a story mode and is inspired by SOCOM or SWAT. The world could use more tactical shooters and Valve could do a phenomenal job with this series, if they take it in this direction.
I just want L4D3 they popped out L4D2 pretty fast after the first game and now they are dragging their feet. I know L4D3 would be a day one for me the series is my favorite shooter and I don't like many shooters.
I don't think Portal VR is a good idea considering what you do in those game I'm pretty sure I'd be puking all over the place.
Valve says Left 4 Dead 3 is absolutely not in development at the studio, despite recent rumors.
Valve needs to actually make games. Half life alyx is a start, but there needs to be something other than VR and dota.
I’m not happy they sucked in campo santo and now have them doing their bidding.
If this is true, it means they CAN count to three.
Meaning...
HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED.
This could be something that would launch alongside new consoles.
L4D3...really. Out of all the number 3 games to do first they want to do L4D3.
I'm still a little ticked off how they handled L4D, all the promises for DLC to expand on the adventures of Bill, Louis, Francis and Zoey and instead "Oh yeah you know that DLC we promised you since you saw how empty L4D was at launch.....WELL HERE IS L4D2 with NEW characters"
Then just when you think it can't get any worse they decide to do a cross over even though we all know that the L4D survivors were going North, not south. THEN they kill Bill off to put the final nail in L4D's tiny coffin. I'm only bothered because L4D had much better characters and some of the new infected in L4D2 sucked so much. Plus I never got the melee weapons, L4D made it seem like a realistic zombie apocalypse but L4D2 made it seem goofy and cartoony.
I really hope they bring the L4D survivors back in L4D3 somehow. Either set it in Florida where they find out that their "safe haven" is actually much worse then were they originally were, where the virus has mutated eve worse to bring in new infected and they find a new survivor to replace Bill...maybe an older female pensioner.
OR
Make it so the Passing DLC was non cannon and was just a what if scenario if the survivors went south instead of North, setting L4D3 in Canada.
am I the only one who liked L4D's characters and setting more then L4D2's ?
L4D3 PC Mod's I can imagine =)
If this is real, I'm making the switch to PC at the right time. Bring on the custom maps!!!
