Warner Bros Interactive and Turtle Rock Studios (Left 4 Dead, Evolve) announce "Back 4 Blood" (co-op zombie FPS)
- Thread starter Eolz
- Start date
L4D broke new ground for its time, more than a decade ago. I played it too and enjoyed my time with it.
But this is 2019. Dozens, if not hundreds, of other similar games have been released since then.
From the sound of it it looks like it's a long way off. Probably 2021 at the absolute best.
On one hand I'm excited because L4D is one of the greatest co-op games ever made. On the other hand Evolve, so.............

Not the Left 4 Dead we asked for, but the Left 4 Dead we deserve.
I hope this is as good as the first game! I'm excited to hear and see more.

The game title and this bit really makes it painfully obvious Valve have officially cancelled L4D3...
There's no reason to suspect L4D3 was ever being developed externally. I'd liken this to Crytek going from Far Cry to Crysis.
I can only speak for myself, but I'm not interested in too many of those. I liked L4D because of the campaign structure, the character banter, the horde mechanics, the special infected, replayability, extra modes like Scavenge, and so on. I've yet to see a big game come out that hits quite all those notes for me, and I wonder how many others feel the same. I guess time will tell if the market is still interested in an experience like this in the same way I am. I've tried stuff like Payday or Dying Light, but they're just... not the same. I dropped them within the first couple hours.
Can't fault them for doing this. Hopefully it's as good as Left 4 Dead. I think that's a pretty terrible name though.
Nice!!
I unfortunately was late to the party for L4D but what I did play was superb.
I wanted to get into Evolve but the controversy around it kind of turned me off.
I hope there is no bullshit with this. Consider it on my radar for now.
Hell I love simple stuff like killing floor 2. This has potential.

I agree but as soon as I read the title w/o knowing anything about the game, I thought Left 4 Dead. My guess is that might be the intention and their target audience, Left 4 Dead fans
Not a very wise idea to put "Next-Gen" in there with a focus on Current Gen at a time where PS5/Xbox 2 rumors are all over the place. Still, I am incredibly stoked for this!
Sure, I'm down. I loved Left 4 Dead and I actually liked Evolve pretty decently honestly, plus I do honestly think a lot of issues with Evolve (primarily, it's monetization methods) had to do with 2K more than Turtle Rock, and I appreciated they updated the game to be better post-launch and think they've learned from that experience.
I know they are going to say this isn't anything like L4D3 would be, and I actually believe them when they say they'll be innovating on what they've done with L4D did and this is an actually ambitious project in some of what it's trying to do, but I think this is as close as we're going to get to a L4D3 anytime soon.

Well since Valve arent doing shit with L4D3 I am all in on this one.
I even liked Evolve. Shame the market didnt respond to it.

Very excited for a Turtle Rock Game and all but... couldn't you have maybe done up a trailer with this announcement? Or some nice screenshots at least? Something other than a press release maybe?

In fairness to them, they came up with the original name they're 'ripping' off here.

Yeah, I read that. Still pretty weird. Not "Sit in a crowd during an E3 show and announce a new Star Wars game with nothing more than a title" weird, but weird.

I'm so in for this
No, in 2016 they signed a deal with Perfect World Entertainment, I imagine thats the one they are talking bout

This is where I'm at, there has been quite a few games with that focus since L4D 2 so, if it's just more of the same fine, fans will be pleased but most people won't give it a chance.
The announcement gives me that 4 player coop TPS egypt game vibes.
If it's anything like Evolve, riding on MTX and such, they can kiss my ass. If it's rather similar to what L4D/2 or Vermintide/2 are then I'm in!
