recast left 4 dead 2

[Nukey]

so when i first heard of left 4 dead 2 i was overjoyed, until i noticed the characters, they seem so bland and unoriginal. so what im asking is, who would you like to see as the four survivors for left 4 dead 2?.
i personally would like to see an Elvis impersonator, a lumber jack, and the two musician's from daft punk (while wearing the awesome helmets)

so who would you like to see as the four survivors in left 4 dead 2?

The only character I like in this new game from what I've seen, personality wise, is the Casino gambler. But all of the others seem to fit the new are so I guess I'm not really that bothered.

 

[Birras]

Myself (of course), Summer Glau, Benjamin Crowshaw and Sheppard Book from Firefly. We would not only survive, but conquer the ruined wastes of North America/Earth (depending on how far the infection has spread) as the kings/queen of a new era of humanity! Bwahahaha!

 

[Remleiz]

How about a Porn star, Elmo and two people dressed up as a pantomime horse?

 

[HardRockSamurai]

Oh please, the characters in Left 4 Dead 2 aren't going to make the game any better/worse! There's no point in recasting them when nobody cares.

Bland and unoriginal? You do realize you were playing as a biker, an IT guy, a vietnam vet and a college chick in the first game right?

 

[Jedoro]

1. WWII Vet
2. Cosplayer in MJOLNIR armor he/she made
3. FedEx guy/gal
4. Gangsta from da hood

yeah,who doesn't wanna be some fat loser dressed in sparkly suit yellin "thank you,thank you very much" all the time?I don't.

How were the first batch of characters not bland and unoriginal? For that matter why all the fuss about the characters, they are no more than skins that hold a gun in these games.

For me i want historical figures. Maybe the four presidents on Mt Rushmore.

you are right,except for maybe the president thing,that would be odd...on second thought...four bullets and seven shrapnel shards ago...It needs work,but it could maybe have potential

"Greetings Zombies, It's Washington here. And I cannot tell a lie, I'm going to kill your asses! GAH!"
Sorry, had to.

I agree though.

From the top of my head: Josef Stalin, JFK, Mahatma Gandhi and Adolf Hitler.

They would never get along.

Now I read that, there should be nothing else.
Ever.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

It doesn't matter, the original survivors were as bland as the new ones, you're just attached to the old ones.

 

[XSA37]

I would like to see:

A Businessman
A Vietnam Vet
A Biker and
A College Girl.

oh wait...

No, in all mock-seriousness I want to see:

A Person Dressed up in Full Marti Gras attire.
A cop (Preferably Fat)
An Emo Kid
Gordon Freeman

[atomictoast]

Why can't be just replace them with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and get it over with?

 

[No-one important]

All mute, all wearing Brotherhood Outcast armour.
That way, nobody will call VALVe racist or sexist for their choice of protagonists.

 

[AngloDoom]

The plant from 'Little Shop of Horrors', a badass traitor-zombie with a tragic past and nothing to lose, a Dalek, and a token human who uses silly stereotype human sayings like "OH MY GOD GET OFF MY FUCKIN' LEG!" when attacked.

Sounds like timesplitters.

Mine would be the Golden Girls and Frasier Crane.
