Left 4 Dead

    Yep, they started doing this with DOD Source. Tbh i think valve has been planning to do more narrative character stories. Thus explaining tf2 having colourful characters and glados :]

    Quote from Ginger Lord

    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

    Its 4vs4 where players can control the 4 survivors and 4 of the 5 special infected (when doing it multiplay)

    They think griefers will be happy to play as one of the infected, altough I think a griefer would just join the survivors and shoot his team

    Seems Germany still gets a good version: valve cut the exploding heads and limb-shot-offs but hired German Dr. House/Luthor Sen. Synchron-actor and it sure sounds awesome in the trailer (Bill, the Vietnam-Vet. fits perfectly into the Dr. House scheme )

    Hm.. that would be the first time for me actually playing something with german syncro! (except some unavoidable console games)

    Dr. House syncro rocks0rz!

    damn.. the more i read about it, the more i cant wait for the release of the full game.. its so gameplay focussed.. i just love it!! i am actually seriously afraid of an adiction (and thats been a looong time since that happended..)..

    intelligent coop zombieshooter ftw!!!!!!

    I used to love zombies, but now they're just overused and boring. Not interested at all I'm afraid.

    good gameplay is good gameplay, no matter what elements you use in order to achieve it. i think l4d might actually surprise you!!

    Quote from D3ads

    Christ that intro sequence is very impressive if it's all done in-game, wonder how long it took to set that up.

    Looked like a render with in game assets.

    Quote from Furyo

    Quite the opposite, this was done in Source, using non game assets, just like the TF2 movies.

    actually - it's all ingame assets, just extra animations and unlimited source-version which would certainly not run on any machine atm

    It doesn't have to run on anything realtime- Source recorder renders individual frames to match a framerate non-realtime. They can set up the scene, script the events, and then have everything play out in engine and output it as a billion .tga files, encode them into a video, and throw it on steam. You can do all of this with the public version of steam. Only tool Valve's holding back is their cinematic physics thing- what they used on the fire escape at the end. That's because it's a commercial licensed thing from some third party, and they aren't allowed to distribute it.
