Left 4 Dead 3 Likely Revealed by Valve Employee in Accidental Screenshot

A major hint that Left 4 Dead 3 is on its way has been dropped by a Valve employee.

[Null1980]

Great catch!

[XisThatKid]

PS4?! Finally?!

[gtxgamer2]

If it's not I'll freak the f**k out.

[Minimox16]

Yes Ps4!
it will be to much to ask a package of the first 2 for PS4 with 4 player split screen remaster 1080p 60fps? :$

[_-EDMIX-_]

Probably.

guessing PS4, XONE, PC.

[XisThatKid]

Yea I always wanted this game

[Summons75]

I'm guessing riots will ensue if they announce any 3rd iteration before Half Life 3. I'd be down for L4D3 though.

[Deadpooled]

Fake, Valve can't count to 3.

[Sunny_D]

Lmao

[zeal0us]

When it's officially announce by Valve then I'll get excited until then its business as usual.

[Erik7357]

All this means that it's in development not coming out

[Asuka]

Yeah ill take it with a grain of salt because Valve has been particular with the number 3 for years. If it is true it better be a proper sequel because l4d2 felt like it should have been an expansion imo

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I felt the opposite.. first game felt like half a game in comparison to the second :3

[NarooN]

That's an odd sentiment seeing as how L4D2 literally recycled all of L4D1's content.

[feedthereaper]

I feel the same way as SolidGear3. That L4D felt like a rough, half finished game to L4D2 which was the same gameplay but felt more finished.
However, I felt the multiplayer was simpler and more enjoyable in the original than it was in the sequel.

Those that say that L4D2 came out too soon after 1 and was just using the same gameplay with new features ,
It always seems to me that Valve always took too much of a blow with fans for it when you consider that Battlefield uses the same gameplay but different scenarios, FIFA uses the same gameplay mechanics and most of the changes are cosmetic, COD is literally the same as the previous game with new perks and weapons and bigger jumping, Forza games are the same every year but with a different update to the number of the cars......... so many big franchises having new "sequels" every single year with very little major changes evident and yet it was Valve and L4D franchise that got the abuse for it, and yet is the one game that could easily have created more locations, more weapons, more characters and more gameplay changes if allowed to progress at least 2-yearly.
And even more of a ridiculous thing for Valve to take notice off and shelve any further titles when you consider L4D2 came out the year BEFORE The Walking Dead TV show launched and its spinoffs, copycat TV shows, dozens of movies and other zombie games gaining huge popularity!

Now L4D3 may be on the horizon, but is it a little bit too late? Has 7 seasons of TWD, multiple TV shows, multiple movies, multiple zombie games already out there, are the public a bit bored with it all now and ready to move on to something new?

[Erik7357]

This screenshot obviously shows its in development but that doesn't mean anything with valve because we could probably never get it knowing them

[Pandamobile]

L4D ended up being a free expansion for L4D2.

[-Foxtrot]

Yeah I hated how they literally changed the tone of the franchise aswell

L4D - A gritty, dark, gloom and doom survival game

L4D2 - Bright, over the top, colourful, humour zombie game

I mean using frying pans and the like to defeat Tanks for example...come on

The whole L4D2 boycott should have stuck because what Valve did was disgusting. They promised free updates and expansions to L4D and they didn't do it. They got people to buy the first game at full price despite lacking in content because they would update it for free. 7 months later a new game was shown off ready for the following year.

They literally killed the first game because it WASN'T made by them...they even got rid of the old survivors because they weren't Valves characters they were Turtle Rock Studios characters. Even going as far as making a DLC cross over expansion and comic to kill one of the main survivors and make them ride off into the sunset to Florida. Despite the fact in the first game they were going North to Canada.

[Pixelart]

They already official announced they were making it over 1 year ago.

[HD8bit]

Omg, yes please! L4D3 announcement would make my day.... Year.... Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Year? LIFE? Looks like we've got another Valve employee here and he's leaking Half-Life 3 for a year from now! O_O

[YodaCracker]

Didn't think there was even half a chance during my life of L4D 3 coming out.

[FlyingFoxy]

Same, I'm a massive fan.. L4D2 and KF2 are really my only played games these days on Steam.. Can't wait for L4D3 and i hope it's a much bigger upgrade than L4D2 was compared with L4D1.

Source 2 Engine goodness baby!

[HD8bit]

I made a portion to valve a few years ago to ask for L4D3. It would be so great on these new machines! The tension as you push forward w your team.... so good! I play on console so I think it would be epic if they would just give us access to some more player created levels at least.

[esmittystud101]

How on earth do these employees keep there jobs? I mean sereously. I work in the healthcare field and all I can say is one screenshot, one picture at work, I would be terminated instantly and then prosecuted later on most likely. I know healthcare and games are completly different lines of work but to the game developers they shouldn't treat any diffrently if they vaule what on there computer screens.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

You don't want OSHA on your butt, lol .. before becoming a taxi driver I spent about 10 years working as a CNA working in nursing homes so I know exactly what you're talking about :3

[HD8bit]

HIPPA, you mean HIPPA

[Yui_Suzumiya]

@HD8bit

That's it.. has been close to two years after all

[badboyz09]

Only thing that matters are the platforms.

[Kaneki-Ken]

Hopefully it's no longer Xbox exclusive and remake the first two games so I can play it on the PS4.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Hell to the yes :3

[FlyingFoxy]

The 360 version of L4D2 was actually dumbed down a bit compared to PC, less common infected on screen and you had to pay for DLC which essentially split the online community i guess. Still basically the same game tho.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

It was never an Xbox exclusive.

edit*

Funny how I'm getting disagrees here but then people say Xbox doesn't have any exclusives anymore because all of them are coming to PC.

@DanzoSAMA

And it came out the same day as the PC version...

[Kaneki-Ken]

It never came to PlayStation system so it's consider an Xbox exclusive still since it only came out on Xbox360, I don't count PC since it's not a console.

[DanzoSAMA]

[StormLegend]

Hope it's true and hopefully it isn't exclusive, but if it is i'll get an xbox slim.

[badz149]

What part of "there will no longer be Xbone only games from now on" that you didn't understand?

[Yui_Suzumiya]

The Bermuda Triangle Box including Left 4 Dead 3, Portal 3 and yes - Half-Life 3 .. coming soon! Bwahahaha.

[callahan09]

Don't forget Team Fortress 3!

[TheColbertinator]

Please do this Valve. Been dying to play a new L4D

[OldGuyStillGaming]

Next article you'll see:

Does L4D3 promote gang violence by showing gang signs on its cover?

Lol
To me this looks fake and the color is terrible

[notachance]

If you're bothered to read the article the leaked thing is a screenshot of a Valve employee's PC containing a folder titled l4d3, that picture up there is only an image taken from google...

[HD8bit]

So many people comment without reading the article. It's ridiculous

[OldGuyStillGaming]

Yes I've seen the screenshot and the text looks fake and shopped

[notachance]

I said read the article, not see the screenshot..

once again, if you're bothered to read the article you'll know that the screenshot was accidentally posted by the employee himself when he posted an online tutorial, of which the screenshot suspiciously changed to not include the folder almost immediately

[OldGuyStillGaming]

I actually don't want to read any more of your comments

[notachance]

maybe next time read the article first before commenting if you're that uncomfortable being pointed out for your mistake

LOL

[senorfartcushion]

Does look a bit photoshopped

[opinionated]

Take my money.

[PaleMoonDeath]

PS4.. please.

[asad197]

I don't think valve can count to 3

[NerveGearneeded]

if there is "e-sports" in l4d3 i swear....i just want a killer single player and co-op campaign.

[BlaqMagiq1]

This NEEDS to be on PS4 along with the first two games.

[dillhole]

This has been accidentally leaked before.

[Perjoss]

Orange Box 2:
Left4dead 3
Portal 3
Team Fortress 3
Half Life 3 episode 1

[badz149]

THAT would LITERALLY explode the internet!

[Axonometri]

My god that would be insane. Dream

[FlyingFoxy]

Valve's way of showing off games are usually done in a sneaky way with a little tidbit here and there before they are revealed fully.. Really can't wait for this, excited if it's the first game to fully show off Source 2 (from the ground up at least)

[plmkoh]

Just residual files of internal prototypes that will never get the green light because Valve aren't interested in making money the traditional way. Screen grabs showing L4D3 files on employee computers were also leaked 3 years ago but nothing became of that. I would not get my hopes up for this.

[Parasyte]

Impossible. Everyone knows Valve can't count to three.

[Fist4achin]

Actually, I think it is just the formal announcement by Valve showing HL3. The zombie who is half alive and the number 3.

One can dream, can't they?!

[MasterD919]

Finally! Holy hell...

[MetroidFREAK21]

Please be real :)

[gangsta_red]

I seriously hope this is true. Had some of the best times with this game and it's sequel. This would be excellent for late nights on Xbox One.

[Majister-Ludi]

Awesome hope it's true I love l4d.

[Artemidorus]

Value seem to hate the number 3

[bradleejones]

Half Life 3 confirmed!

[Nathan_Hale53]

I am sorry, but I doubt that is real, I could easily edit a folder name just to troll people. I even renamed L4D2 on Steam to "Left 4 Dead 3 Closed Beta" and I had a few friends asking how the hell I got into it.

[r3f1cul]

gotta be fake... valve cant do a 3rd game in a franchise ...

[ApolloTheBoss]

So they finally learned to count to 3 huh?

[assdan]

So the CAN count to 3.

[Dowie]

here we go again.........

[Kingdomcome247]

We'll end up getting Half-Life 3, Portal 3, L4D3, and Team Fortress 3 in Orange Box 2. Lol. I've never really spent much time playing the previous two L4D games, so I'd give this a shot for sure.

[fluxmulder]

Wait, Valve still makes games?
