Left 4 Dead New Screens and Impressions


Now that Left 4 Dead has been confirmed as being console exclusive to 360, it's time that we really saw some screens and read someones hands-on impressions. The folks over at shacknews got their grubby little paws on the game and have given it an (unsurprisingly) glowing preview. For those not following it, the game's situation is similar to a cross between Dead Rising and typical FPS multiplayer. Your and your teammates' goal is survive against a hoard of zombies while other players (or AI characters, depending) control the legions of zombies attempting to make a meal of you. The concept sounds awesome, and with a release target of August/September, the game should have plenty of time before the winter glut to take hold.

Left 4 Dead confirmed console exclusive to 360


The new game from the newly-acquired-by-Valve studio Turtle Rock Studios, Left 4 Dead has had a fair bit of press from the PC side of the gaming press, but we've heard relatively little in relation to a console version. Well that's over, as OXM recently revealed that the game will not only be appearing on PCs, but that the 360 version will be the only one appearing on any console. The folks from OXM got to play two scenario's (read: levels) on PC and one level on a 360 dev kit. As a minor point (but a good sign) the names of those levels recall the game's horror roots: "The Hospital" and "Cornfield."

The second part to this news is the identity of the developer who will be handling the 360 port (Valve and Turtle Rock won't be working with it hands-on). That dev is the creator of Halo 2 DLC, Certain Affinity. The 16 man team with former Halo team members will be "handle(ing) 360-specific elements like matchmaking, Live support, console customization, and 360 gameplay tweaks."
