Left 4 Dead: 3?

[Gxas]

Well, I grabbed my mail today and was excited to see a new GameInformer in the box. While flipping through, I noticed a small article about Valve announcing Left 4 Dead: 3.

I'm usually not one to bring this kind of thing up, but this is for all of you Valve fans out there. You are no longer allowed to, rightfully, gripe and complain about how Halo, CoD, and Final Fantasy are "milked" franchises. Left 4 Dead is on its third installment now and it has been... what? Hardly a year and a half?

So, I ask you, what do you think of this? Is Valve wrong in releasing yet another Left 4 Dead game? Especially after the oh so successful *cough cough* petition and boycott of the previous game.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Well... Turns out it was an April Fools joke... In March.

I'll be rioting in front of the GI building if anyone wants to join.

Zombies need killing and the the zombies wont kill themselves.

Could be interesting.

I've been saying for a month or so now, if they ever make a third one, it needs to be set in the dead of winter.

Nothing scarier than zombies popping out of the snow.

I know what they are going to call the next one after this!

Left 4 Dead 4 Good.

Which issue is that? Don't believe I have that one yet.

But zombies don't have body-heat, therefore they shouldn't be able to survive! Right?

 

[Dr. Paine]

Why, do they have to keep fucking about with these bullshit sequels, when they could be doing Episode 3?!

And you realize that Episode 3 has its own team, while Left 4 Dead has another? Yes, they occasionally pull people from other teams to help, but developers can and do work on more than one game at a time.

In theory.

But then again, the Infected are still somewhat alive, and can generate some body heat, the horde alone has sheer numbers going for them.

They have no intention of making Episode 3. That way nobody can ruin the feeling of suspense surrounding it.

I seen that article and it also said that valve will release a complete bundle with it "BLACK BOX" witch will future left 4 dead 3, half life 2 episode 3, team fortress 3 and portal 3.

I would like to see Left 4 dead in vegas, Circus Circus Zombies would freak me the hell out!

This.
This times 1,000,000,000.

I've waited since the orange box for this, like many others. So for them to create three full games before finishing up this beloved franchise is utter bullshit.
