Still waiting for the price of the first one to go down..

PartialSchism · 06-01-2009, 09:34 PM

Ahh, something else not to waste money on.

Etzell · 06-01-2009, 09:45 PM

So it's like L8D?

Don't know why you guys are surprised.

Anshinritsumai · 06-01-2009, 10:18 PM

IMO, as opposed to developing new content for free like they have been on PC for years, they've decided to start cashing in on console success.

-=bingo-bango=- · 06-01-2009, 10:38 PM

do some research before you start your bitching

It really should be DLC for the original game. But I believe they're trying to up the graphics a bit and make some money from the console sales. Yet I don't see much different in this than the original game besides aesthetics - things they could add to L4D without charging $50.

Who knows though, maybe that is what they're intending and are marketing it as L4D2 to get more press and sales while throwing a cheaper price tag on it for owners of the rest of the series.

5 new chapters, 4 new characters, new zombies?

I dunno, sounds like a decently-sized expansion to me. And, besides, Valve doesn't owe anyone free DLC, and never has.

GeoKill-----> · 06-02-2009, 01:16 AM

I will buy this

[edit]
Just read the l4d forums... nothing but a bunch of crying kids

**squeek.** · 06-02-2009, 01:38 AM

Wait a second... Valve is doing work and expecting to get paid for it? Outrageous.

Skanky Butterpuss · 06-02-2009, 01:43 AM

OHH THE HUGEMANATEE

That doesn't seem like it's worth a whole new game though, it's definitely DLC size, expansion at best; but not sequel.

Never said they owed anyone anything, but it's been proven that VALVe has a track record of handing out more content to their products for free for many years without issue. The sudden change however is what is surprising.

how in the hell would that be DLC sized?

Anshinritsumai · 06-02-2009, 02:27 AM

There have been DLC packs released by many developers with more than just 5 chapters and a few characters/models. Some of which are free, others you gotta pay for. It depends on what game, developer, and platform your looking at.

how in the hell would that be DLC sized?
-ragdoll dismemberment with added gore
-incendiary ammunition
-4 new characters with completely new dialogue
-improved AI Director, now with better item factoring
-5 new campaigns in a completely different part of the country (imagine the assets)
-4+ added melee weapons
-3+ added guns
-an estimated 700 more zombies per campaign
-several new boss infected
-reworked existing bosses
-camp prevention changes
-likely to be dozens of new normal zombie skins, including inflammable hazmat wearing zombies
and thats just all that was found out on day 1

Sounds like a new game to me. But, I guess the proper response is to be cranky about it.

It's not like an engine tweak or a few new maps. Hell, it's even bigger than adding shit to TF2.
