I've said it before, but this is probably a two platform game for me, because I have to play with my PC friends and my 360 friends.

Wow, really?

I could watch that blonde talk about zombies ALL DAY.

Is she a 1up personality? I must know these things.

The one with the glasses? Thats Kathleen Sanders, yes shes a 1Up personality. She took over the girl gap left by Jane Pinckard when she left 1UP a little while back.

So I am behind the times but I just watched the trailers for this and had to search for the thread here.
Looks AWESOME! Y'all need to hype it a bit more.

In case anyone missed it. Part 2 of that really long preview is up which goes into playing on the zombie side.

This game better not suck because so far it's sounds like the most perfect zombie game that may ever be created. Please don't suck.

PC Gamer got a chance to play Left 4 Dead and they showed footage of the game on their video podcast. Plenty of gameplay to see there, if you can deal with the annoying PCG editors.

I just want to play this game more and more every time I see it.

I can't wait to play this game. I think I read it comes out Summer '07 somewhere, but I can't find a release date for the life of me now.

That video is the bomb. I want this game waaaaay more than any stupid Episode 2 or TF2.

I've heard August-October of this year as a possible release window. I hope they hurry up and do it already. I must have it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'll agree with you about the excitement for this game, but let's not stoop to namecalling.

I've been looking forward to Left 4 Dead since way before it was cool but I'm still wanting Team Fortress 2 more.

Zombies + 4 player co-op > playing with cartoon characters or 4 more hours of Half-life

BOOMSTICK Time!

Now, I see. Mathemagic explains all.

However:
playing with cartoon characters or 4 more hours of Half-Life != suck

I think my tone may have been misinterpreted as less humorous as intended. Lousy text.

Zombies + 4 player co-op > playing with cartoon characters + 4 more hours of Half-life + technology that rips holes in space?

As a general rule, my opinion sways this way:

zombies {+ *} > *

What if we combined Left4Dead with the portal guns? Then we have Zombies + 4 player co-op + 4 gravity/portal guns > *

I just watched the E3 G4 video, and I can't think of anything I can say that would adequately express my desire for this game.

Woohoo, that looks great. This is gonna be so much fun to play with friends.

This is game is definitely on my top 10 want list for 07'. Am I right in assuming this is PC only?

TF2 is "playing with cartoon characters"? You must be one of those unwashed rabble who played counterstrike instead of team fortress classic.

It's also coming to 360.

Holy zombie poop!

This game looks freaking awesome!

Fixed. TFC was for ninnies. Never accept less than the real thing.

Same here, well kinda. Nowhere even near TF2 on my radar. I'm not sure about this one. It could be awesome but it could also become old real quick if all you do is run around shooting random waves of zombies. Co-op, and especially the fact that human players can play boss zombies could probably be worth the price of admission though.

The AI director sounds very cool. I hope they handle the spawns believably so we dont end up with that magic monster closet type feel though.

Besides Dead Rising, I think my favorite brush with the undead in a game to date was actually in WoW. There is a city that has been overrun by the undead (zombies, ghouls, etc) and when you first spawn in, you see masses of shambling undead you need to clear.

If by ninnies you mean people who were sick of the rampant cheating in TF then you're right! (not that TFC didn't end up much the same way, at least it had punkbuster)

Punkbuster came waaay after the fact. The first beta for Punkbuster didn't show up until TFC was over a year and a half old. So, no.

That's where good server admining (and/or running your own server) came in handy. In my senior year of high school, we cobbled together a box to serve up TF over the high school's LAN.

Didn't see this posted anywhere else. Footage from Quakecon that's just a bit too cool.
