Support NeoGAF

[diamount]

The first part of my post was sort of a joke... but still, exciting stuff none the less.

Lol wtf, sorry was a bit dense there.

I hope they remove melee weapons.

I hope they remove guns. I mean, c'mon, we used to wrestle Hunters to the ground with our bare hands! I used to kill ten, twenty a day, just using my fists!

 

[Dug]

Left 4 Dead 3 starring....

 

[Exuro]

I hope they remove melee weapons.

They should keep everything and just add in options to remove certain weapons/SI at your leisure.

 

[JesseZao]

That's a controversial opinion? I thought a lot of people felt that way. I know I did.

Agreed. The focused purity of L4D made it great.

When they tried to solve the "problems" of corner camping etc, they changed the entire game for the worse. The original super infected were/are the best. Fans just drooled at the thought of new monsters to play.

Maybe if they limit the set to a core 3 or 4 per level it'd be okay. Return to the dark, terror, and focused design.

 

[FinKL]

I'm more hype for Source 2.0 than L4D3.

 

[woober]

here's a Controversial opinion

Spoiler

L4D was better than L4D2. more doesn't always means better. the new orleans schtick is old and tired. too many weapons. the new infected aren't as creative. Everytime you came across a room there was always some random new item meaning the concept of item conservation strategy went out the window. the sense of urgency was gone. and it was too damn bright. too many open areas.

I actually think that the only way to bring back to its L4D greatness is to cut back on content (crazy i know) and introduce some more limiting gameplay concepts to promote more teamwork and tension.

i doubt this will happen in L4D3

My friends agree L4D was better than L4D2. Nothing will beat Dead Air and the possibility/fear of quadcaps. Nerfing the hunter (I believe there can be no more than 2 or 1 out of 4 on the infected side) in L4D2 was the worst idea ever. They played a big roll in performing skilled kills. The spitter and jockey aren't as fun.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Ah God dammit.

 

[Izick]

My least anticipated number 3 game from Valve, but then again it's a game from Valve so I'm more than excited.

 

[vazel]

It's raging time. ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °

 

[kasane]

Where is my Dota 3? Lol.

 

[Exuro]

I still want Ricochet 2.

 

[AnbaLeumas]

PS4 console exclusive. CALLING IT NOW

Lol why would you think that?

I actually prefer L4D more than L4D2.

 

[Hindle]

Lol why would you think that?

Exclusives are back in force for both sides. This would be smart for Sony to try and secure as an exclusive aswell.

 

[botty]

So, what would the setting be for a L4D3?

I think Old Europe could be neat.

The Virus is spread in modern times. L4D1/2 are occur at the same time.

 

[Syphon Filter]

l4d doesn't need a sequel. gabe trollin i guess.

 

[RetroMG]

I know this is going to be an unpopular statement, but I'd take L4D3 over HL3 any day of the week. I love L4D.

(Yep. I just said that. Come at me, bro.)

 

[Moofers]

Sequel that nobody asked for

Speak for yourself. L4D2 was one of the best games of the generation.

Said this in the other thread but, L4D 3 is the least interesting of the possible number 3 games that Valve could do, but at the end of the day it's still a Valve game.

 

[exmachina64]

they fucking WOULD come out with L4D3 first....

.

 

[shinobi602]

I suspect L4D3 will release next year with HL3 coming out in 2015.

So about 8 years later or more. It better be the most mindblowing cum-inducing experience I've ever had the pleasure to embrace.

 

[alexandros]

If Left4Dead ends up as a console exclusive, it will be for the Steambox. I really can't see Valve handing over exclusives to potential competitors.

Or else what?

 

[Keyouta]

I'm down for L4D3, I've spend a lot of hours on the first two games.

 

[Reick17]

Next Orange Box:
1. Half-Life 3
2. Left 4 Dead 3
3. Portal 3
4. Team Fortress 3

Oh my sweet Jesus...

 

[Loomer]

I could totally see Left 4 Dead 3, Portal 3 and Team Fortress 3 coming out before Half-Life 3...

 

[JHall]

Next Orange Box:
1. Half-Life 3
2. Left 4 Dead 3
3. Portal 3
4. Team Fortress 3

 

[Chet Rippo]

This time, instead of about Zombies, it's about Half Life fans waiting for HL3.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Man I hope they mix things up for L4D3 otherwise I'm not interested in it. Feel that two L4D games were more than enough.

 

[Velvet Cyberpunk]

Sequel that nobody asked for

Speak for yourself. I have been asking, so has my fiancee. my step-sons, lots of people.

 

[Bad7667]

This time, instead of about Zombies, it's about Half Life fans waiting for HL3.

So the main characters are top Valve employees?

The "zombies" could be crazy fans chasing Gabe and friends to get HL3.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Someone divided by Zero and Valve made a game with 3 in it !

Would love a L4D3

 

[shinobi602]

Or else what?

Or else to me it won't be worth it.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Oh my god please.

L4D2 might be my most played game this generation. Currently sitting at 694 hours.

 

[angular graphics]

Or else to me it won't be worth it.

Worth the what? The wait? You are paying in $, not in years.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Next Orange Box:
1. Half-Life 3
2. Left 4 Dead 3
3. Portal 3
4. Team Fortress 3

Call it The "Three is a Magic Number" Box.

 

[Saty]

Well, Polygon did say one of XB1's launch titles was a zombie game.

Are the Steamworks SDK documents also available in Japanese?

 

[shinobi602]

Worth the what? The wait? You are paying in $, not in years.

I'll buy it obviously, but if it doesn't live up to amount of development that went into it, I'll just laugh, most likely.

 

[feel]

I love L4D, bring it. Of course I want HL3 much more but better this than more shit I have no interest for like Dota 2 or Steambox.

I hope they remove melee weapons.

They're cool and need to be there, but I do think they should have a limited number of uses before they break or something.

 

[Musolf815]

Immediately thought of this.

 

[Rubius]

Impossible. Valve would not not troll people like that. They must have an higher goal.
They probably simply saw this video.

After Ricochet 2 and Left 4 Dead 3....
Yeah it must be it.

 

[Slayer-33]

I'd totally buy TurboTax on sale.

What the hell lol

 

[Nabs]

Left 4 Dead did a lot to bring us together on PC. I would love another one.

Then they can't be pistol replacements. There needs to be a fall back if your primary weapon runs out of ammo.

 

[vazel]

Let's hope Valve adds proper matchmaking and a rage counter and actively supports competitive play instead of players having to setup their own confogl servers. ͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡ °

Remove infinite pistol ammo too, make people resort to punching and shoving their way to more ammo/new weapon.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I wonder if Valve would release L4D3 on PS4/XB1. I would hope that they would include Cross-PC play with the PS4 version, as they did with PS3 and Portal 2. I can only assume Microsoft would not allow it on XB1 since they didn't on XBOX 360. I would love being able to use my secondary PSN/Steam account I made for Portal 2 and play L4D3 with my brother. I have two TVs next to each other in my room- A 32 Inch Vizio for TV/PS3/PC and the 24 Inch PlayStation 3D display also for TV/PS3/PC. I have an HDMI switcher for each component. So on the Vizio, I would play the PS3/PS4 version and on the Sony, my brother would play the PC version (or vice versa). Of course I am assuming Valve would include the Steam version of L4D3 free with the PS3/PS4 version as they did with Portal 2.

 

[PaleFolklore]

All I hope is that they add in reporting options similar to what they have with Dota where you can report people for being assholes, fix the kick player tool from being the 'kick this guy because he isn't as good as the rest of us' tool, and add in a solo queue.
