Poll: Awesome looking Valve game, and free?!

[Pandora92]

Hey guys, I did a quick search and didn't see anything so sorry if this has been posted before and I missed it, but a friend of mine pointed this out to me and I thought it looked awesome!

It's a free game being released in a few days by a group of devs from Valve (and sorry to sound like the fanboy I am, but they DO have an awesome track record), and it features an updated version of the Source engine that will launch with the game code publicly available (as well as an updated SDK, which is what I'm pretty interested in). The game itself looks pretty awesome to me, just a basic fun third person shoot-em-up, so what do you guys think, anyone up for a game? =D

(I tried to keep the poll options as neutral as possible so it wasn't obviously biased like they sometimes tend to be.)

I'll get it if it's not rated M...

If it's anything like the original Alien Swarm it's a sure-fire game to play on our LAN-parties. We still play the first one, which is nearing on 6 years old now, so and update is gonna be pretty damn awesome!

Eh. From the two videos I just watched, it looks pretty meh. But it's free, so I'll check it out.

It's free, so I'll definitely check it out.

Wait. Wait wait wait. Wait...

Wait, wait wait wait... wait wait wait...

Wait.

It's not an FPS? Valve, I always knew you could do it!

I know. I mean, maybe it's free to showcase some updates, or whatever but it looks great.

It's free and seems entertaining.
May as well.

I've spent the past few days on Torchlight and League of Legends, this top down view thing is exactly what I'm liking at the moment. This couldn't be better timed.

I'd love a co-op game like this, and seeing as the source and dev tools are being released I'm sure the mods that come out for it are going to keep it on my hard drive for a long time.

I would love to play valve games but my laptop is a sack of crap.

 

[Da Joz]

If its free why the hell not?

 

[enzilewulf]

Lol looks fun.

Can't wait to try i..

 

[MrJohnson]

Top down Killing Floor about aliens made by Valve? Pretty sweet looking, not going to lie.

 

[subtlefuge]

I didn't realize that this could be done with SDK.

You learn something new every day.

OT: looks pretty cool, will have to check out.

Thank you, OP. This does look very entertaining and free. You just made my day.
