    Awesome new game from Valve coming this November. I played it a bit when I was at Valve and I must tell you, it's brilliant!

    L4D demo coming to Steam and XBOX Live 2 weeks before the release.

    Pre-Purchase from Steam (-10% off): http://store.steampowered.com/app/500/

    Kinda expensive for being a game by Valve on Source compared to the other games they got

    I think the price is fair considering it's a game with heavy amount of replayability.

    Look at BF2 and Quake Wars, both were full prices PC games and focused on multiplayer component only.

    it should cost around 35€, that's not expensive at all.

    It's not expensive - 4 full SP-Campaigns of each 1 to 2 h (SP means you can play them offline with AI-guys or online Coop).

    I love my new job

    50$ is like 35€ (+5€ tax most probably) - that's not so expensive?

    Guys 50 euros in europe buys you the same thing as 50 dollars in the US, the exchange rate comparison doesn't hold any water. You're just lucky to get that "price cut" because you happen to currently live on the right side of the pond currency wise.

    yeah currencywise were on the good side, true that. but that wasnt the issue. the issue is that l4d is the price of a new game but uses an 'outdated' engine from valve.

    anyway, im just another wining customer, since im going to pay the full price anyway..

    'Outdated' engine..is that the predecessor to 'In-House' engine?

    This will never get old

    But yeah, Left 4 dead, looks like some excellent, fresh mp action!

    Source is not outdated... it's just got a different focus than cryengine2 and unreal3.

    WORD

    after having spend half a year with ue3 i must say there is only 2 ways to go:

    - all dynamic ala crysis

    - all precalculated AT A REALLY HIGH FIDELITY ala source

    unreal sits uncomfortably between the chairs

    Dunno why but L4D really hasn't intrigued me at all. Nothings made it stand out to me really, not followed it closely so I could well be missing a lot however.

    I've seen the trailers and some of the reviews but I havnt been a complete nerd and hunted down every last scrap of info. All I see is a zombie co-op game where the zombies can...run!

    Edit: Not that I play TF2 much either but due to L4D no more TF2 updates till next year
