Whilst I'm still unhappy at the timing of this new version I must say I'm liking what I see.

Decent sales pitch here.

As the man says ... not $60 and comes with dedicated servers

Great vid.

Still too soon though.

Great vid,

and while I am disapointed by the amount for stuff released for L4D I still feel that I got great value for money out of it.

The fact that i got it for Ã,Â£20.25 makes it acceptable, although that 25 pence was pushing the limits...

Good vid! Althought this one has a completely new feel to it. L4D's video made me cry with fear and clutch a kitchen knife to keep me safe while I played it, but this one this was more 'yea, lets chainsaw up some zombies!'

If I average the price of L4D 1 and L4D 2 I paid it was just Ã,Â£20.11 which I don't think is too bad.

It's too soon, but I don't regret buying it. I really hope they don't make me regret it with limited DLC or another sequel.

I don't mind them shafting consolers with rapid sequels, but PC gamers are far more sophisticated and have developed better vocal ranges. They should be treated with respect. Especially by a PC centric company like Valve.

I'm waiting for L4D3.

January's not that far off...

Left4Dead 1 was good for a while but for the life of me I couldn't be bothered with it after the initial giggles and guffaws wore off. This, I have to say, looks a different kettle of fish! :dribble:

I thought the demo was meant to be released yesterday? I guess steam are confused again?

It's been postponed whilst they iron out some bugs.

That said, in their shoes given the backlash that is part of the community they can't really win.

GhostMjr · October 28, 2009, 03:41:24 PM

It was meant to be out 8pm yesterday delayed due to bug problems.

Then postponed from 6am to 1pm and now pushed back to 8pm tonight.

Hope its out tonight.

I'll be about if anyone wants a run through.

Hotel wi-fi is flipping expensive. This may possibly be the most expensive forum post ever written.

I got up nice and early this morning, in the vain hope that I might be able to have a crack at the demo before I had to drive all the way up here to Bradford. Damn your eyes, Valve.

So is it out yet? Anyone had a go on it?

Or 10pm. Forums are great. Fill yer boots.

I like this one ...

QuoteYou HAVE to wait. Even if you could NOT wait, you still HAVE to. A lot of us don't want to still be waiting, I know I don't. But until we aren't waiting anymore, we have to wait. Sorry, but nothing we can do.

... but wait :roflmao:

Here's the official countdown timer, that has been stealthily incrementing in one hour intervals since 8pm with the 'Delay' announcements.

But at time of posting this is now showing as 13 minute overdue.
