Poll: Awesome looking Valve game, and free?!

[chromewarriorXIII]

Looks like a top-down Killing Floor...

me like

At the beginning of the first video it even looks a bit like one of the maps on Killing Floor (forget the name, but it's the one on the boat).

I'll definitely be getting this. Mainly because it's free (I love free stuff), but also because it looks pretty cool.

would like to, but my lappy isn't fast enough

Meh. Usually I'm not one of those pricks who screams 'generic' at every new game, but... Generic.
I am perfectly content with Castle Crashers to satisfy my 4 player co-op sidescrolling needs.

Also, I return your salute

[tombman888]

looks pretty good. since it's free I will probably get it the instant it becomes available.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

It is free..and from Valve...and not an FPS, so yea. Too bad my only computer strong enough to handle games is a Mac .

All my PC's suck.

 

[SoranMBane]

My pc probably won't be able to run it, but it's Valve (Meaning that it'll most likely be fun and well designed, if nothing else) and it's free, so I'll definitely get it anyway.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

hell yess, it comes out on my birthday!

yet another thread where all i have to do is point at my avatar and it explains it all.

whoop dee do

Yeah. Your right. Whoop dee do. A big name developer taking their time out to make a product that's free so it'll never turn a profit happens all the time. Oh wait...

This looks like something I will be downloading this weekend!

 

[Skorpyo]

The original A.S. has too few persons playing online, but as this is a re-release, I say try it!

Valve represents improper grammar (They can't capitalize anything properly) bad ideas in shooters that infect other games through their popularity, and are the largest source of Digital Distribution. I refuse to support anything they do unless it's something like Portal which looks like an attempt for them to change their ways on moral grounds.

I'm not really a Valve fanboy or anything here... but what 'bad ideas' are we talking about?

I mean, the only FPS's they've made that had a major impact on gaming are CS, TF series, and Half Life.

I can see you hating the narrative style of Half Life... but what is there to hate about TF2? Class-based combat? What about CS?

I mean, rambling on about how Valve ruined vidjamagames is fine, but... why?

 

[duchaked]

dude, that looks pretty sick
definitely could use a game like that for some co-op fun

 

[Mister Awesome]

this looks like a freakin awesome game and i will definitley be getting it when it comes out

 

[firedfns13]

Definitely, since it's free. I'm going to see if I can get everyone I know into this, that way I'll always have at least 1 person to play.

 

[Angus565]

At first I was kind of worried about the top-down aspect but the idea is growing on me. It's cool to see valve step out of the usual fps style.

Hey it's still free though, I don't see why it wouldn't be worth giving it a quick try when it comes out just for the sake of seeing if you're wrong?

I wish people would stop praising Valve for this, Alien Swarm came out originally years ago as a mod for the Unreal 2 engine, created by the fantastic Black Cat Games modder group, same guys behind the Thievery mod as well.

And you know what? It was awesome then, and it looks even better now. Not to completely deny Valve credit; It's great how much support they're giving this project. But still, it wasn't developed by them.

Look for yourself.

I look forward to it regardless, as mentioned the original mod was extremely fun and this looks like an improvement in every way possible.
