As the details come out about Valve's reasons behind releasing Left 4 Dead 2 so quickly, it becomes more and more clear that the L4D2 Boycott Group are simply wrong in their position against the game. Cinemablend provides insight.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."
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.
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.

How dare Valve promptly develop a sequel. I was expecting to wait a decade, like with Team Fortress 2.
I dont know.. if L4D is gonna become the next call of duty franchise with the same game coming out every year with a paintjob..
disappointing.
Valve is known 4 its great support.
Although I am looking 4ward 2 L4D2.. i was hoping 4 it to arrive next year.
simply coz right now im over the L4D experience, unless they do something drastically different in L4D2, i dont see myself getting hooked back up.
I don't know why people are so upset. Don't buy games because of future content that may or may not be in them and you'll be set ;-)
Valve at damage controll
So now, disagreeing with obvious BS is being a "hater?"
Wow. Nice.
Maybe if they didn't stress at every OTHER turn that this game is basically L4D + new skins, I'd be less inclined to be pissed off about it.
But hey, it's Valve! God forbid we question Valve! Hell, people questioned Valve's TF2 update recently, the random drops... guess they were all TF2 haters!
Cinemablend, never fails to be trashy.
