Left 4 Dead - Most wanted game of 2008

[Craig]

The normal AI infected are much like the ones is 28 Days, they can run and clmb, and maybe jump a bit? The player controlled boss infected are the ones that have really superhuman abilities. man, i want this game pretty bad, but still think we need an open-world, san andreas-style game with shamblers....kinda like dead rising, but with lots of little villages, towns and burgs to raid, explore, etc. I just hope Exanimus developers pick up the pace a bit, at the moment they seem to be a zombie-lovers only hope of a zombie MMO. This is the world map idea for their game.

So glad to see that this game is not just chugging towards completion, but is doing so with such consumer and industry confidence. Hells yeah! I just hope Exanimus developers pick up the pace a bit, at the moment they seem to be a zombie-lovers only hope of a zombie MMO. !!!Holy ****!!! This is the first I've heard of this project and a quick google-perusing just made me very happy Let's just hope it stays alive. I will not think of all the corpses of would-be MMOs littering the landscape of the gaming industry.

And expect further delays, always the way with the best titles. Personally, I don't give a monkeys c**t, all I want is Alan Wake.

[MinionZombie]

That's beyond my machine Get an Xbox360! Man alive I want my mits on Alan Wake! *sigh* ... no, not his cock ... Yeah I saw the new delay for L4D, so many games get delayed now, it's daft, they should just shut the hell up, say nothing more than a year, and until they're really, really, really ready to give a date that they can definitely stick to, THEN say a release day. Sheesh!

[Danny]

and then have that drive you bat**** crazy like remedy with alan wake.

[MinionZombie]

and then have that drive you bat**** crazy like remedy with alan wake. I'd rather wait and then one day get a definite release, rather than the constant disappointment you get with constant delays, ala STALKER which did that. They'd set a date, then break it, set a new one, break that. Fortunately I thought it was awesome when it arrived, but even their Clear Sky add-on stand alone thingy has been put back a few months I think. I'd rather just get a ballpark year and then just wait for an absolute. Not thinking about an awesome game that's ages away is better than getting kicked in the nuts two weeks before release.
