BLOODY SCREEN SO REAL is back
Well, guess we're back to waiting for Left 4 Dead 3
I see no reason to play this. It doesn't add anything new to the formula and looks much worse mechanically than L4D2 and KF2.
Gonna flop, RIP.
I see potential, but those minion zombies barely even get in the way, the animations need fine tuning (those tall boy attacks look like they teleport), and the melee looks completely underwhelming.
These are just the alpha animations…right?
Looking at gameplay for this just makes me appreciate how good Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 are even more.
This game is stuck in the late 2000s
Looks decent, but my god you guys like to whisper lmfao
The card thing is a redflag.
Zombies are too slow.
Overall this looks better than the VGA presentation.
God this looks fun. It reminds me of a more mobile version of Killing Floor (as in "mobile movement", not cell phones)
hopefully a lot of the weak presentation gets fixed in the next six months (since it IS in an alpha state, look at the title). the game looks competently made enough but theres a lot of flaccidity to the animations and a severe lack of soundtrack and style makes the game feel very sterile compared to the l4d games. the bloody screen effect in particular looks ugly, the machete animation connected with the zombies is honestly awful (l4d2 has amazing physicality when it comes to how melee connects due to the strong and physical gore and the punchy and satisfying sound effects, which this doesnt have), and the designs to the characters and infecteds just dont seem to have much of an interesting personality to them either (the special infecteds in particular just look fucking bad jesus, completely unmemorable designs, i can see them being hard to call out in game if this ends up being the final product).
game feels like its drowning in an attempt to be serious and more grounded, i get no personality or sense of humor from this preview that i do with something like 10 minutes of left 4 dead 2, which is a bad sign when youre making a spiritual successor to l4d2 which worked so well because it was a game that was fun to play with friends, not a dead serious survival horror game. still, for an alpha this seems competent and maybe even decently fun, hopefully they fix it up in the future.
Hate the way melee attacks look and feel
2010 called it wants its animations back lol
The melee looks absolutely atrocious.
It looks just like Left 4 Dead. But worse.
Looks like Left 4 dead but way worse. I don't get how they can copy Valve this easily tho. Shitty devs, they made that Evolve game that was shitty and full of microtransactions. Here's hoping this game flops and all the devs get fired and become homeless
This doesn't convince me at all and I hope I'm wrong, but Turtle Rock still only made one game that was good. And l4d1 was more than 10 years ago. (l4d2 was made entirely by valve)
It's fucking early Alpha footage you absolute morons
Jesus this looks bad. Can't believe these people made Left 4 Dead.
Game of the month, i can see every fps youtuber playing this for a week and then never again. It's the Among us/Fall guys of the month it comes out. Mark my words/screencap this, you heard it here first folks, peace !
Same company that co-developed Left 4 Dead with Valve…
Same company…
Makes you wonder what did Valve did to make Left 4 Dead good when you see THIS.
Oh it's not a boomer it's a Retch.
Ah yes, L4D needed perk cards, equipment, ranked gear, money, vendors, and the characters being lobotomized into quips with no personality. And it's really, REALLY so obviously 1 for 1. IT's not a boomer it's a wretch! Oh that one? It's not a spitter it's a Hocker! Oh the tank? we turned it into a bossfight and called it an OGRE. It's not Car alarms, it's birds, and cars explode because what I want in my game where I unload 5 America's worth of ammo into a horde of monsters is the chance for everything to fucking blow up.
soulless
Looks horrendous, just cancel it and don't bother
Not a fan of the FX. Also the hud is kind of a mess
Ngl, left4dead had way better melee. they should improve on that a lot.
Do yall even know what an Alpha is? Ofc L4D is gonna look better, since it's a finished product. I'm cautiously optimistic about this one♡
I don't think most people in the comments understand what an ALPHA is.
World war z clone
They want 60 dollars for THAT!
some people are defending this because its an alpha but it worries me that they already unveiled their seasons pass and special editions before showing a good gameplay
not a fan of the voice acting
From the studio that brought you Evolve…don't forget.
can't find the "but im back 4 blood" comments anymore
Gun sounds are so weak lol literally everything had higher decibel levels.
This is still alpha, hopefully they listen to the critique and improve their game.
For an alpha i'd say its looking good. Gameplay systems, which are arguably the most important thing, are there and good. They just need to refine the animations, which is exactly what you'd expect from an alpha. Let's just hope that they don't fill this with microtransactions.
it looks similar to l4d&2 but much worse, waiting to see if it gets better
Reminds me of left for dead 2
Looks like Left4Destiny:Zombies. This game definitely needs an Mouse2/Push equivalent to knock enemies back
In this comment thread: people criticising the alpha of a game for not being as good as left for dead, even though the people that made this game made left 4 dead
no fucking way
非常非常期待。pr香港人!
watch the evolve people kill the game with monetization again
Is this 4 player split screen
