I need a demo to sell me this game during the flood of must have games.

lunarcore

I will play this demo non-stop. I am pumped.

@HueyFreeman: it really doesn't take that much time to vote for your preferred candidate.....

@HueyFreeman:

But dude it's zombie holocaust..

cant wait to kill me some zombies

Alchemy_Comrade

Keep hope alive PS3 owners! In the world of post-360-FFXIII, anything is possible... even MGS4 on the 360 therefore PS3 Left4Dead is almost consequential.

I love the fact the ads still have the old "bitten" hand. Though I'm waiting to pre-order until I've played the demo. Then we'll see if its worth it...unless its one of these, "Hey, Preorder the game and play the demo!"

trogam

I can't wait! I've been playing the hell out of Zombie Panic Source to get hyped for this game.

goldsoundzzz

Speaking of demos, are you ever going to do the PSN updates or not Kotaku? You didn't do it last week and so far it hasn't been done this week.

Sparx

@homernoy: Excited would be an understatement.

homernoy

Shit. I can't wait for the demo, just to test the gameplay

homernoy

I already bought the game on a slight discount and it will arrive on release date, maybe I should of waited for the demo...

SG_Mahonay

@Cojo21:

As am I! Bring on the carnage!

nico1606

The demo better be out before Nov. 7th, because once Gears 2 releases I wont even remember breath between play throughs.

Quicksilver4648

ISTR?

ELUNO

Oh fuck yes, REDEMPTION time!

acez2087

This is good news, but you know what else happens early November?

Our presidential election(for us americans of course).
It's hard for me to be excited for games and movies and albums and such when i know that november is the month we find our next leader.

But i'm sure this demo will kick ass :D

HueyFreeman

Hot damn, I'm in!

Cojo21

@HueyFreeman: Are you serious? That shit doesn't matter. What DOES matter, mind you, is L4D...

Kenny

Super stoked.

PsycheE

@Greenman: Actually come to think of it I haven't heard much about that aspect of the game in awhile, it hasn't been cut has it?

Greenman

This sounds specfreakintacular!!! Im still wondering what it will be like in the vs. mode or whatever it is where you get to play as the zombies, and what all the zombie types happen to be. I know they mentioned a fat exploder and a really quick zombie but I wonder if there are any other types and what they might be.

Greenman

Oooooh man. Can't wait to show some zombies what for.

Indypunk

@DesmondHume:

i can't vote?
i'm just more excited to know if obama wins or loses than for any games coming out November including Gears 2 and this game here.

HueyFreeman

Yay!

ShirtGuyDom

@DesmondHume: I know JACK.

neoraul20

@Kenny: What an irresponsable ignorant you are! You must be a kid, are you?

neoraul20

JEEEESUS $10 million ad campaign! Valve must really think they have something special on their hands, I dont know if i can even think of a game Valve has really advertised.

bighit006

PC for the win. I can't understand why PS3 fans become upset over this. Left4Dead is a PC game, first and formost. Why the confusion? As far as consoles go, I game on a PS3, but if Valve said PS3 exclusive, I would shit. And I would not purchase the game.

homernoy

This is GOTY without a doubt :)

GearsOfWar12

@Quicksilver4648: Agreed. I'm hoping it comes out before Gears2 so I'll have something to mess with until the 7th!

belo

The first thing that popped in my head after seeing that shot is "That guy is going to shoot the table, isn't he?"
I don't know why.

Benjammn

@Kenny:
Nice sarcasm my dude...or was it 0_o?!?

HueyFreeman

@DesmondHume: yea, shouldn't you have a picture of desmond, and not jack?

[Dextr]

Hope the demo is long and good - I'm excited enough to buy this one without a demo but it will be key to convinving my friends to join in.

theinternetlovesyou

Cool! I wouldn't care about this if it were only a single player game, but the co-op and multiplayer modes are going to be the only way to go. So I'm real stoked for this, bring it on!

jiSh

mmmm...I loved this game when I get my hands on time with it.

I can't wait to play with it my friends. It's stellar.

beta_angel

the next 6 weeks will go by so fast.

Xeros606

I'm not usually one for zombie apocalypses, but the potential for killing my friends to take their ammo has me very excited. We can do that, right?

smartboydan hates college

@bighit006: They advertised The Orange Box quite a bit.

smartboydan hates college

@homernoy: 'cause...'cause not all of us game on a PC is the thing. and yes, we miss out on mods, etc. its been said.

TheIrishNinja

@neoraul20: @HueyFreeman: Wow guys, relax. The new leader will have problems just like all previous presidents. They're only human. Let's spend our time worrying about something fun, not something inevitably depressing.

sandal-hat17

I don't really understand why people would get excited about this game.... It's another zombie shooter. I'd rather get Dead Space.

Ansem

@Ansem:
And Dead Space is just another third person shooter...see what i did there? You can simplify any game you want to make it sound run of the mill. If 4 player co-op + Valve + Zombies + Ai director + glowing priase from people who've played doesnt make you excited than nothing will.

bighit006

does having a demo mean we won't have a beta? I was kinda hoping people who pre-ordered off Steam would participate in a Beta, like what happened in CS:S and TF2

cyruss

I love Valve. I really do. I sadly do think they drink alot of Haterade . WiiBerry and Mangostation flavored.

I wan't to play this game , but it's not even in my top 10 gets. Sadly I will probaly buy it when it takes a price hit.

휘성

Gonna have to go with the 360 ver since I know my PC will burn brighter than a supernova upon running the game.

Witzbold

@smartboydan hates college:
And that would be how it slipped by everyone's radar?

Strife56

@[Dextr]:
Maybe he couldn't find a picture of Desmond, brotha.

Strife56

@okenny :) ...building bridges (to hide under):
Agreed, after that I don't think anything could surprise me haha.

Strife56

@Sparx:
You lazy...

Just go and switch on your PS3 and check, it take 2 seconds.

Strife56

I been waiting for this game for quite sometime. I'll be playing the hell out of that demo!

Mike's Stalker

@HueyFreeman: what is an obama?

Meanwhile, Left 4 Dead is gonna consume my life in a similar way TF2 does now!

marmidukestank

@Strife56: I don't recall seeing one TV ad for TOB. :\

SAKY

@belo: L4D wins hands down for my time because I KNOW that Epic can't fix GOW's primary gameplay element.....dnc.

SAKY

and NO, there isn't a PS3 version.I own a PS3 but admittedly favor my 360 for obvious reasons but it also doesn't mean i hate my PS3(it just sees much less gametime and more Bluray player duty).I don't hate on either system because one gets an exclusive over another.In some ways i'm lookign for to Little Big Planet and Resistance 2 more than
games i plan on buying for my 360....though Fable 2 is #1 on my list for ANY system.

Sugaray

ooo its released on my 30th birthday!

/goes to book the day off

juscallmeweasel

I hope "early" stands for the first 5-7 days, because iam grabbing it on 17th anyway.

neojam

I see the demo as a good stomping grounds for what Steam will require in terms of bandwidth needed for release day. But besides that, ITS FREAKING L4D and I want it ASAP in any form!

GlItCh017

killed some zombies at PAX. Now I get to kill them in my home. Sweet

solosith

I just soiled my pants a little... In a good way.

outsida

@TheIrishNinja: Sorry about the goofy posts, sometimes I have a couple of martini's and I write like a jerk. LOL.

homernoy

awwww i wanted the demo to come out on Halloween

Ieatbears

@HueyFreeman: You should know better than to bring up important issues here. Just think of this place like Florida. Bunch of careless idiots that worry over a games CE than what can very well be the start of a depression.

Comeback209

man i cant wait for left4dead even though gow2 and mirrors edge come out around about the same what a choice, i just want to see how the ai reacts to differents styles of gameplay. But gow2 is for me like the anticipation was for others about GTA IV, i cant wait to battle with chainsaws oh yeah scratch one grub!!!!!

gamingbear

Zombie bashin' time!
