I played through the short demo a few times now and I have to say this
If you liked L4D you will love this one, the improvments are good, more weapons (and melee, I found it satisfying killing a charger with a guitar), different zombies, slightly update graphics, a little bit different "feel" to it and I really damn good into movie!!
BUT
those like myself who didnt really find the first one that interesting (it was good for about a week, then I just got sick of it), you wont find alot here to draw you into the series, it is the same formula so people on the outside will see it as just same #$%@ different shovel.

I kid
That's probably the fairest summary I've seen of the demo, well put.
Based on the demo, L4D2 seems like a big extension to L4D. Probably too much stuff has been added for it to have been updates to L4D. However, seeing as it is only really big extension, i think the price is a bit high.
Despite that, i have already preordered it.
I have to say though, i personally found the demo a bit disappointing. I had no real interest or hype towards L4D2, though i did plan on getting it, but i dont think it deserves the hype its getting.
That being said, i am only basing this on the demo, so i could be wrong.

Shall we stop beating that dead horse already? L4D2 massively improves on the L4D formula, new weapons including the whole new melee system, new gore, new AI Director, new campaigns, 2 new game modes, a whole new setting including characters, a (though not massive) graphics update, the totally new Uncommon infected and new Special Infected. What else does this game need to be seen as a true sequel?!TimbukTurnip said:
Anyway, of course the core of the L4D formula still stands in L4D2, that's obvious and I doubt anyone would've expected any different or wánted that. What it does is improve on it, a LOT by the looks of it, I'm really loving the demo. Decapitating zombies with a guitar is just sooo satisfying.
Compare the opening scene of MW2, or the murder of the lawyer in GTA4 to this and you wonder what the censors were thinking.Dys said:From what I've seen (brother is playing it) it looks very much like left 4 dead, as such my interest is low. I might give it a spin later and decide based on experience though
What I can see (he's playing a 'mod' *wink*) is that there is no grounds whatsoever for the game to have been banned. Seriously, from what I've seen it's far more tame than dead rising, though I rather liked dead rising so I suppose I shouldn't point that out to the OFLC..
L4D2's violence is cartoony and unrealistic. I can't imagine anyone being affected by it in the way some games could.
To me at least it makes the original feel kind of unfinished. I mean what with the new enemies and items(not just weapons). It's like Left Four Dead was just testing the waters to see if this would be sucessful.

I will be interested what the full game is going to be like, because I have a feeling that there are going to be some plesant suprises when it comes out!!
This also made me smile.Vanguard_Ex said:
Anyways great demo, but when I tried playing with my friends it was laggy as I'll get out, which is wierd cause we live close to each other and have been playing borderlands together as well as left 4 dead, we even went back to the old one and our connection was fine.
It's very different. The new infected just fit (apart from the Jockey, who I think is quite pointless), you can't all start off with the same weapon, the music is just about the best part of it, the new SWAT zombies are awesome, the wound detail and gibbing is first-rate, the melee weapons feel like they have the right weight and power behind them as does bashing them with your primary weapon.Vanguard_Ex said:
It's more challenging than the first, there's more than one mission now... I could go on, but I'll stop raving about how great it is. Glad I preordered (just hoping we can uncensor the real game the same way as the demo).
Ah yes, me and a friend had this. He told me yesterday that if you set the game to local, the lag disappears and it runs fine. Try that if you happen to play it againRogueRunner said:
The boycott only had to do w/ their concern that population migration would make the original obsolete & kill the modding scene.Vanguard_Ex said:
But Valve has made L4D2 backward compatible w/ L4D for maps, mods & servers. So they boycotters got what they wanted & every1 is happy.
