Left For Dead 1 And 2 on PS3?

Malik Forte´of Ironstar writes: "Geoff Keighley of GameTrailers TV may have revealed something of mega-ton caliber on twitter today. It appears as if the next episode of GTTV will be a huge special on the development studio Valve. As we'd all expect, there is sure to be a lot of new unveilings in regard to Portal 2. But Keighley also may have hinted at something that many PS3 owners have been waiting a very long time for."

[ingiomar]

one question..do any of you ps3 owners really want to play this game? I just like to know cuz i was never interested in this game

[PirateThom]

I have a 360 and still wasn't interested... maybe if I'd a PC capable of running it, I might have been more inclined to give it another go, but I played the 360 version and HATED it.

[deadreckoning666]

Duh its common sense...I said this on E3 week.

Valve and Sony's newfound relationship means that all their console games will now be on PS3. Btw, I LOVE L4D. Best online co-op game out there IMO. Its the only semi-360 exclusive I've wanted on my PS3 =)

Man, if these games come out THIS year, I might have a HHG moment and start doing pushups for no reason lol. I hope this is true..we all know how Keighly overhypes EVERYTHING.

@bioshock1221- Ur proly right..but I hope your wrong lol. I agree that L4D3 has a better chance of coming out than L4D 1/2

[DasBunker]

first ME and now this... someone noticed the "attention" the rumor got and decided to do something similar *sigh*

[bioshock1221]

@deadreckoning666 I don't think L4D1 or 2 will hit the PS3 I'm pretty sure L4D 3 will but not the first two.

This is most likely DLC news that Valve said a long time ago that there was still more DLC to come for both L4D1 and 2 after the passing DLC was released. The guy who wrote this should have just made a quick google search and he would known that Valve still plans to support both games with DLC.

[eggbert]

but they don't seem to be too taxing, the graphics aren't that great, and you can even reduce the graphics even more if your computer isn't really up to snuff.

You could probably pull off the game with a sub $50 graphics card, 512 MB-1 GB RAM, and a sub $60 CPU.

Also, if you had a choice, I'd definitely suggest getting the PC version over the console versions. STEAM games are designed specifically to work with STEAM, so you get updates on the fly, aiming is more precise, and you can access mods and whatnot.

[ABizzel1]

All the people saying Nah, or it's not interesting are bold face liars. They're just trying to keep Left 4 Dead on the 360. Left 4 Dead is one of the most fun games this gen (Part 2 is much better than part 1).

Both games have a score of 89 on metacritic, and I can say they deserve those scores.

Also both games have sold 2.81 million copies so somebody likes them.

Left 4 Dead isn't GOTY worthy, but it is one of the most fun games you'll play.

If it does come to PS3 I'm going to buy it on there as well. That's how good of a game it is.

[rekof]

at PirateThhom ,.. My watch could run it,.. And I really don't know why everyone is jizzing over this games,.. Have L4D2 on pc,.. was fun a couple of times with friends,.. but ,.. I don't really see what all the fuss is about,..

[SaberEdge]

I could see this happening. EA obviously has some special affection for Sony right now and even Valve has come around to the PS3. Given those two factors I could see this easily happening. I am sure Valve and EA will want Left4Dead 3 to come out on the PS3, so why not release the first two games on PS3 to allow people to catch up.

Who knows, though, it might be false.

[Rumor]

i would love it to be on my ps3 ;)

[0mega4]

after ea bought out bioware i didn't understand why they wouldn't turn all series to multi plat especially since all there other games are.

its a way for them to make even more money.

i understand they were exclusive to microsoft but since they do not own the ip i dont understand why ea wouldnt want to bring it to all consoles

additionally i loved playing l4d & mass effect and dont mind more people getting to enjoy the game

[Kerrby]

This is why IronstarMovement should be blacklisted. They post crap.

It's just DLC, Chet the Valve manager for Left4Dead said that they're going to announce and reveal the DLC this month.

So there you have it.

IronstarMovement is just as bad as HipHopGamer.

[AndrewRyan]

This is not very big news for me. It would be for PS3 only people however so I wish you luck it is actually a very entertaining game.

[AtatakaiSamurai]

so all these "exclusives" from ms were all just an illusion. that's crazy. lie to your consumers making them believe they'll have many games you cant' get anywhere else when the true is you'll get them anyway some time in the future.

madness.

[SeanRL]

Nah, I've never been into this series either.

[Raoh]

i played the first one one my 360, dont have one anymore but i was interested in left 4 dead 2.. i could play it on my pc but i'm more of a gamepad gamer, i'm not ready to take people on on the keyboard and mouse..

anyway, as a ps3 owner i would love to be able to play left for dead on the ps3.. and i would advice ps3 gamers to get it as well. gears of war not so much for ps3 gamers, mass effect? depends who you ask, not every ps3 gamer is into rpg's.. but i think left 4 dead would be a welcomed game..

i would advice sony/valve to advertise it as if it just came out for the first time.. dont make it seem like a left over game..

and if they add mods to the ps3 version like epic did with unreal tournament a few pc gamers will get the ps3 version just to create and compare mods..

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

PC version has gamepad support though.

I think most if not all PC games being released now have gamepad support. Even an MMO like vindictus has gamepad support.

It's cool that devs are now giving PC gamers an option to choose a control style they prefer. And even if you have a game from back then that has no gamepad support just use Xpadder. It lets you map whatever keys you want onto a gamepad (eg. WASD movement to dpad/analog stick etc.)

[Raoh]

really? i need to check it out again then..

i know mass effect series has no gamepad support and i always assumed source engine games from valve had no gamepad support...

[RedDead]

Nah you should want it, it's one of the most fun games i've ever play with friends, maybe the funnest. Seriously, playing on insane is just the funnest thing ever, it's sooo hard aswell. a tank gets your heart going, the appearance of tank is very dangerous and your guaranteed 1 every level. Playing as the infected is brillant aswell, there's nothing quite like Stalking your enemies as a hunter in it. I would recommend it to anyone who can get it, if you have an ok pc, just get it. It's requirements are low I assume, the graphics are below average in this day and age, about the same as Half life 2.

Oh and you have to pla it for a while before you like it and play with friends. It's not very "next gen" so I can see why your first impression would be to hate it. It's alot like Half life 2 (shooting mechanics).

[rroded]

how bout giving us an updated team fortress instead ie put on psn as a stand alone game n throw us some of those updates the pc users got... us orange box owners would luv ya for it.

that n work on portal2 n maybe a new engine so it looks like 2010 instead of 1999

[OpenGL]

What game in 1999 looked as good as Half-Life 2? Also, if you games on the PC, you'd already have access to Valve's newest version of Source, as it's used in Alien Swarm. Lost of dynamic lights with some pretty high quality shadows.

[Motorola]

I do, I have a low end PC, i downloaded this and I can get 30FPS offline with everything low. I would love to play this on ps3...which I do most of my gaming on

[Hellsvacancy]

Ingiomar, id rent it, id probably buy Mass Effect though :-P

[NY_Pride]

DM

[Boody-Bandit]

and I never cared for L4D.
Played the demo a few times through then I deleted it. Never understood the appeal for this series. It's zombie wave after wave. Kill a boss. Rinse and repeat. The controls were tight, graphics bland, gameplay repetitive. It's only fun online with friends. I prefer team based shooters against human opponents.

[blodulv]

I felt the same way.

Was really disappointed too as I love pretty much anything zombie horror...

Very repetitive and I wasn't concerned or "scared" at all when playing this. It was literally just "lets see how many zombies we can decimate" and that's it.

[danielle007]

It isn't wave after wave, kill a boss. .. There aren't even bosses, just special infected that force you to play differently, and as a team.

It's the only TRUE co-op game this generation. It's hectic, and fun, and requires communication, especially if you play on realism.

I love it. It might be kind of repetitive, but the levels are never the same. The AI is always different, and in Left 4 Dead 2, the levels actually switch up.

It's pure fun. <3

[NoOoB101]

Actually I'm interested. The only game I owned on 360 was left for dead 2. Was going to buy ME2 but 360 rrod 2 days before. refurbished model btw.

[ABizzel1]

I love Left 4 Dead, they are probably one of my most played games this gen. This is one game PS3 only owners are missing out on. I literally bought my 360 for this game after playing part 2 over my uncles. I love all the games on PS3, but fun wise the only game on PS3 that can compare to Left 4 Dead is Warhawk.

Left 4 Dead is a great game. One thing PS3 owners need to do is make sure they get a mic. You can play it without one, but once you get into modes like Realism you are going to lose all the time since you can't communicate with one another.

I just might buy Left 4 Dead 2 on PS3 if it comes out so I can play on both, it's that much fun.

[Christopher]

I'll be honest, I'm not interested in them. But, would be good to see more games available to more gamers.

[ActionBastard]

I played both on the 360 and both were fun...online. It'a almost an online only game, the SP is just ok. The whole appeal of L4D is in the cooperation and teamwork. My concern is potentially playing on PSN with 3 mic-less teammates, there's no guarantee my friends will get it, if it's even real.

[wicko]

I'd have trouble recommending this game for any console gamers, both games are incredibly short and custom campaigns on PC are what kept it alive for so long for me. But who knows, it might support mods on PS3 like UT3 did and if that's the case then I wholeheartedly recommend it.

You definitely need to play this with friends otherwise it won't be very fun.

[Bolts]

The mechanics of this game totally sucks without a mouse, that and the contents are pathetically slim. This situation is compounded by the console's need to monetize the updates that are available for free on the PC.

For those reasons I have a feeling that most people with a PS3 wouldn't give a rat's ass about this game just like how 360 owners didn't care much for it either.

Too little too late. Valve should really stop trying to cash in on the consoles all together since their attempts has been incredibly half assed.

[kevnb]

why wouldnt they make a console version, even if the pc version is many times better? Devs like bethesda and bioware do the same.

[kevnb]

or not at all, its a valve game.

[BattleAxe]

Damn! I just bought L4D 1 & 2 on Steam last month (summer sale). Oh well, I'll probably buy them again if they come out on PS3 just so I can play them with my friends.

[Lekumkee]

I would buy Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 for the PS3 if it comes out on one disc and cost $59.99. If it comes out separately then no chance in hell I'm buying it.

[avengers1978]

@ingiomar, No i was never interested in these games either. If they come out (on one Blu-Ray) I still won't be getting them.

[cayal]

I've honestly never given L4D a thought but damn if L4D series and Mass Effect console jump that is a mega-coup for Sony.

[InactiveUser]

Do I want them coming to PS3? Yes.
Would I play it? Yea, eventually.
Are they at the top of my list? No.

Imagine if they announce both Mass Effects and Left 4 Deads? The 360's going to take a big hit on FactsVsFanboys.com.

[USEYOURFIST]

@ingiomar

no i wont be getting it i played it on 360 and it got boring very fast

the nrxt zombie game i want is dead nation

[Megaton]

All Valve games should be bought on PC, IMO. At least Valve is working to incorporate Steamworks into the PS3. That's certainly a step up.

[gamerzBEreal17]

i want it!
umm mass effect 1 and 2
left 4 dead 1 and 2 on PS3
ICO collection in one day just like that?
either it's the best gamescon ever are...one of these (are both) are a lie :(

[gtamike]

I have Left For Dead 1 on PC so im good.

Left For Dead 2 was bad (daytime fails)

[Imperator]

Wow, 360 loosing "exclusives" (under the definition used by 360 fanboys since technically they're already multiplat) left and right.

[Crystallis]

No, I was never interested in L4D. M buddy has it for his PC and wasn't impressed. Now ME is a differnt story.

[CaptainKratos]

i've been interested since it was announced for PC and 360! but now im like, ok im broke since i had bought the ps3.lol. it would be soooo cool if it came to the ps3.

[KratosGirI]

That would be great for those PS3 only owners who missed out on this awesome series!

[ThanatosDMC]

Bad thing is they'll probably sell it for $59.99 even if it's both copies on one disk that'll be overpriced especially when you can get them on Steam for cheap even the pc disk which is $9.99 for L4D1 and $14.99 for L4D2.

[TheIneffableBob]

It's not happening, though. At least it's not going to be announced this week on GTTV.

From the article:
"Now I'll be the one to ask the question; why on earth would there be "Left For Dead 1 and 2 news" when the first game has pretty much run it's course on the 360 and PC?"

The answer is here:
http://www.l4d.com/blog/pos...

"So what happened with the third DLC for Left 4 Dead? Is there any new DLC on the way for L4D2? Where is the Mac version? Where is the comic? All your questions are answered, and more, next Friday August 20th on Game Trailers TV. The show airs at 12:30am on Spike."

[NYC_Gamer]

everytime he tweets info its just nothing but false hype

[N4GAddict]

Sounds like it is not related to PS3:

So what happened with the third DLC for Left 4 Dead? Is there any new DLC on the way for L4D2? Where is the Mac version? Where is the comic? All your questions are answered, and more, next Friday August 20th on Game Trailers TV. The show airs at 12:30am on Spike.

http://www.l4d.com/blog/pos...

[niceguywii60]

When the 360 starts to do good in sales or when the 360 seems to offer more(despite hyped lists) articles come out of the woodwork claiming every 360 exclusive is going to PS3. 360 success brings the inner fanboy out even in the most skilled purps

[wicko]

Oops, L4D is on PC. Might as well be PC exclusive because without user content its pretty much a 2 hour game for the avg user.

[niceguyWii3]

360 sucks.

[TheBand1t]

Why? The PC version shits all over console versions due to mods and other stuff.

[Foliage]

Correction, the PC shits all over the 360 version. We know nothing about the PS3 version (if it even exists), and the engine is crap, the PS3 can run multiple instances of this game at a time. It's pure crap.

[OpenGL]

No it couldn't.

[TheBand1t]

Oh okay. The PC version shits all over the 360 and hypothetical PS3 version.

Happy?

[Bolts]

Wait wait wait! What about the Wii, iPhone, Droid, Windows 7 Phone, and online in browser Flash versions that could potentially spring up years from now? Please be specific regarding how the PC version take it's shits or do not do so at all!!

I hate it when people on the Internet are wrong.

[TheColbertinator]

Sounds like its just more DLC coming to L4D.Not much more than that.

[Dellis]

I say do it but in PSN, don't put this on the stores it will flop

[thecreeper]

I also think it will be news that l4d will be coming to the ps3

[LeonhartX]

frankly i don't see what's special in left 4 dead
i bought the first one and the multi player was cool for a while but after a couple of playing hours it bored me
i bought the second one which was disappointing for me it was like an expansion pack or something...

-_-

[jack_burt0n]

With steam love that could be pretty good..

[Obama]

got both games on pc already, so this doesn't affect me one bit. Will the 360 loses yet another multiplatform game though?

[Dance]

how can the 360 lose multiplatform game if its already multiplatform

[1942]

ps3 owners have been saying these are not exclusives because they are on the pc and 360 along with other games for years now. now that there is a chance they might end up on the ps3 they aren't exclusives anymore? you 360 fanboys are a pathetic group of people.

[A change in the wind]

Don`t care. I play Left 4 Dead on PC, the way it`s meant to be played.

[thebudgetgamer]

_-_

[FanOfGaming]

I want to play L4D on PS3 cause I don't have many friends on XBL

[Foliage]

too many kids on XBL... an adult with XBL friends is basically a pedo.

[WetN00dle69]

Says the the guy with no friends.

[thebudgetgamer]

i would have to buy that, but i'm really crossing my for counter strike.
one of the games i never had a chance to play and my computer shiite.

[snake-OO]

i have both games on my pc, but im still gonna pick it up for ps3, only cuz im a big fan, and with steam cloud, it might have the possibility to play online cross platform.

[Ps3isSsTheBeStt]

i played counter strike before nd its just a generic shooter

[AliTheBrit19]

What is "Left FOR Dead" ???

[Eiffel]

Gonna be hard to work together if hardly anyone I meet on PSN has a mic, I'd have to rejoin and rejoin and rejoin until I find someone. Left 4 Dead is a teamwork survival game. Verbal communication is key.

[WOMBLE62]

I know exactly what this will be. Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 for Mac on Steam. They announced it a while back and it was due to be released in April and has been delayed since then with no further announcements. I doubt this has anything to do with PS3.

[iammason]

I don't see it. Maybe it could be importing Left4Dead 1 maps to Left4Dead 2.

OR MAYBE it's a reveal of the campaign they announced that explains how

SPOILER ALERT

how old man bill dies.

END SPOILER

Either way, video game bloggers are way to quick to comment these days.

[jokia005]

ok welcome to ps3,

[SuperStrokey1123]

Id love L4d 1 and 2 on ps3 but i still kind dont think its going to happen... i want these games too much. Same goes for mass effect

[despair]

Considering the lack of support that Valve showed by not pushing L4D1 content and by releasing L4D2 so quickly, I bet we see L4D3 on PS3,x360 and PC late next year, not 1 or 2.

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

That article make me rage. Im a ps3 owner but this article is nothing but garbage. This is written by a douchebag who spread false rumour. Kheighley only say in his tweet that he will talk about l4d1 and 2 there is no mention of this game on ps3 and valve has already stated that they concentrate themselve on Portal2 right now.

Also, keighley is well known to overhype his show on twitter. So basicly the guy who wrote this garbage probably have a verry low i.q.

People like him and hhg should never be allowed to post things on gaming website.

[Knightofelemia]

I have always been curiose to see how the PS3 could run Left 4 Dead. I played the hell out of the first two and they pritty much ran their course on my 360. But playing it on the Ps3 would breathe some new life into the franchise and it would be fun to find the glitches and get off the map with a new version of the game. I still don't think it will happen the game coming to the Ps3 or else EA would have done it by now. I heard the Left 4 Dead rumor is a new DLC for the 360 wich explains how Bill dies.

[Pandamobile]

$5 says this just turns out to be Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 on Mac with some new DLC.

[shotgun_ps3]

Left 4 Dead 1 + 2 are two reasons I wish I could afford all 3 consoles and not just me PS3. I have been waiting to play them for ages because at the end of the day, dam do they look silly and fun.

[doshey]

left for dead is a rip off of dead rising, although dead rising sucked in some areas, it was better than dead rising

[Pandamobile]

Left 4 Dead was in development way before Dead Rising was released.

[sam2236]

A Dead Rising rip-off?!! I lol'd!!

L4D is a Killing Floor rip-off and KF is a far superior game.

@Pandamobile: lol no.

[newhumanbreed]

Lol last time I checked, L4D was a first person shooter co-op survival game, not a single player third person shooter survival game. That's like saying 28 Days Later is a rip off of Night of the Living Dead. Two different styles, same concept. In my opinion, L4D2 is a way better game than Dead Rising. I keep coming back to L4D2 because it never gets old to me. Unfortunately, Dead Rising is hard to get back into because after I beat it, I just get bored 10 minutes into the game. Not as much replayability as L4D2.

I can't wait for the upcoming L4D DLC. I'm eager to find out how Bill died. :(

[SephireX]

I loved L4D1. It was fun, challenging and intense and one of the best co-op games I've ever played. The game may be repetitive in the sense that there is few enemy types but situations differ a lot and the a.i director keeps each playthrough dynamic. The game isn't scary but fast and furious and full of action. The graphics are below average but its as fun as hell. We play games for fun right?

[Blaine]

At first, I have to admit, it was probably the fanboy goggles that prevented me from seeing any redeemable qualities in this game. But then after release all the hype was so positive that I warmed to it a little.

Had it been on PS3 then, I might have checked it out. But I doubt I would have bought it, because of how short and repetitive the game is. If they release it now, though, I say: NO THANK YOU. Too fucking late.

[seifer085]

buy if true!

[nefertis]

If so D1B for me, I was going too get it on the 360 but I'll waited and see if it is true.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Despite the fact that I already have it on PC, I'd totally get a PS3 version! I love it!

[jdktech2010]

Great game but I think it's better on PC than either 360 or PS3 for one simple reason....mods

People can create custom campaigns where on 360 and now PS3...that can't happen

[FanOfGaming]

Mass Effect and L4D would be awesome on PS3

[xg-ei8ht]

Dude what pc do you have.

Because trust me, you don't need much of a pc to run it at good framerates.

[jizzyjones]

Ps3 owners shud only be interested if they beef up he graphics as there very average, even a medium speed dual-core can run it above the 360 version.

[tigertron]

I love zombie games so I'm hoping they do come out for the PS3, but they had better not be rubbish ports as the PS3 deserves better.

[REDGUM]

I could be wrong, but if the two games were PS3 bound would'nt that be a bad move for VALVE..... I mean, i dout they'd hit the best sellers list coming out so late after the original release date. Especially with all the top notch games due for release in the near future. I know i would'nt, as a developers point of view, go to all the trouble of re-writting an old game and ( i'm presuming here) getting a small piece of the pie, when you could dedicate the same time frame, in developing a new game instead. I know i'm exagerating but what are we going to see next a PONG remake? WTF? Give us something new for F@#k sake. I'm all for VALVE, i really am but lets move forward not backwards.

[PS3-247]

I would perfer Sony make they own zombie game with better graphics and gameplay. I played L4D and never really liked it.

[saint_seya]

i really dont care about l4d, i got the first one, played like 2 hours on my pc... and that was all the use that the game had with me. dindt like it..

[TheTeam06]

I enjoyed Left4Dead 2. I didn't like how it got kinda old really fast. Once you've seen one level, you've seen them all.

[Alcohog]

It is sacrilege to play this game on anything but a PC. It was so bad on 360 after playing it on PC for so long, I lol at many of you.

[TheBalloMan]

:D

[bakscratch]

Valve are releasing the next left 4 dead 1 campaign.

[danielle007]

I have it on 360.. I have it on PC.. I don't know if I'll be able to resist also getting it on PS3 if this rumor comes true...

... I probably won't resist. I'll have it on everything :D <3

[Mamajuana]

I just read 1up.com live Blog, and apparently Mass Effect will be hitting the PS3.

[Allowen]

I play Left4Dead 1&2 at least once a week with my friends on the PC.
Both are good games but they have to me a HUGE problem :
You can't play it alone and even with 2 other friends it might be impossible to finish the game in a hard or even harder dificulty.

Maybe in the future Valve will make a solo campaign or mode for L4D3
it is hard enough to play this game with friends using a microphone and I can't stand playing it with ppl I don't know.

Because there is no way to play it alone( even on easy mode you can be wiped by the 1st hunter that appears) I give this game a 7.5 out of 10.
