The Director even has discretion over the layout of certain sections of levels. In New Orleans we reached a graveyard that is different each time you play. As Valve explained to us, if the Director gives you a pretty straight route right through it, it’s an insult to how poorly you’ve been playing that the omnipotent AI thought it needed to make things a little easier for you. If you’ve won his robotic respect, then it’ll be a far more convoluted journey.

While there’s no intention to waste players’ time with dead ends, there is a greater emphasis on rewarding exploration. You may well learn the correct route through most of a level, but heading off down a longer pathway, or going to check out an out of the way room, is more likely to be beneficial. The Director is, we’re told, going to be far smarter this time about placing items, and the selection of these has expanded as well. Which includes the incendiary ammo.

Oh, what a pleasure it is to find these beauties. Like an ammo stash, incendiary bullets can be picked up from tables, etc, and will give you a clip of ammo for your current weapon that will set absolutely everything it hits on fire. Which is spectacular. Right up until you accidentally set a Charger alight and he comes bounding toward you to share it.

Everything seems bigger and better. And this includes the number of Infected to kill. The average number taken down in a campaign in the first game was around 1000. In our play through one of the sequel’s five new chapters we clocked up around 1700.

Due November 17th this year, it’s quite remarkable that it’s so far on already. And frankly, that of all developers Valve have made something this quickly is almost dizzying. While there’s obviously going to be something of a fuss made over people’s expectations that L4D would be constantly expanded for free, following the TF2 model, it’s important to stress that while this is obviously still the same L4D core experience, it’s certainly not a bunch of new maps thrown into the old game. It’s a coherent new imagining of the game, this time bigger, smarter, and far more elaborate. Oh, and gloriously more gory.


[spoiler]Sequel to Best-Selling Co-op Thriller Coming This Holiday

June 1, 2009 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2), the sequel to the best-selling and critically-acclaimed co-operative multiplayer thriller.

Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 and PC, L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-operative action games and become one of 2009's marquee titles.

"A large part of how Left 4 Dead became 2008's top-selling new IP on Xbox 360 and the PC was the custom-tailored gameplay made possible by the AI Director," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "With the knowledge gained from creating the original, new technology, and a passionate team, L4D2 will set a new benchmark for cooperative action games."

Set for release on November 17, the title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and more.

Introducing the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Featuring new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original with more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, and maps for Survival mode available at launch.

Supported by a $10+ million marketing campaign, Left 4 Dead has sold over 2.5 million retail copies since it was released in November of 2008. Left 4 Dead 2 is targeted for release on Xbox 360 and the PC on November 17, 2009, and will be launched worldwide with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign across TV, Outdoor, and Online.

"Left 4 Dead was backed by our most aggressive advertising campaign to date, and resulted in a top 5 showing on two platforms during holiday 2008," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "Left 4 Dead 2 is a larger game and will be supported with even more consumer and retail advertising programs than the original."

Left 4 Dead 2 will be featured as the cover story on PC Gamer and Official Xbox Magazines this month.

Left 4 Dead 2, nimi kõlab kuidagi veidralt seekord, kui see 2 taga Aga mis muud, jääme ootama. Esimene osa oli küll äss mõnda aega tho, ei kahetse üldse, et mängisin LAN'is

[DeTHiCa.]

seda videot vaadates tundus et see on mingi l4d: farmer/mexican või midaiganes versioon.
lisaks see artikkel kus pottidest ja pannidest jahuti oli minu jaoks pigem huumor.
tõesti, esimest osa võiks toetada uuendustega, mitte kohe uut tegema hakata.

[bladerunner]

Ju siis need uuendused tundusid neile niivõrd olulistena, et otsustati need eraldi mänguna välja lasta.

[Anna tooli]

[Dude .]

Huvitav, kas tõesti Valve nõueb selle eest täis hinda ja jätab esimese osa lihtsalt sinna paika. :/

[bladerunner]

Eks näis. Hetkel on kõik selline kohvipaksu pealt ennustamine. Kindlasti tuleb mingi combo-pack ka välja. Ja loodetavasti ka 1. osa omanikele soodustus. Aeg näitab.

[-Superman-]

[Dude .]

L4D oli välja tulles täishind.. :/

[portman]

mingi nali?

nagu wtf tõesti,endal pole esimene pirukaski korralikult valmis küpsenud ja juba mässatakse uue taigna kallal.

VALVe foorumis on sõna otseses mõttes OVER 9000!! teemat erinevate bugide,katkiste mänguelementide ja soovituste kohta,kuulda aga pole neist võetud peaaegu,et mitte ühtegi.
olgem ausad,valve pole kogu selle aja jooksul teinud mitte midagi muud,kui üritanud lõpetada lõpetamata mängu.

[Araablane]

Äkki mõtlesid et vana patchimise asemel lasevad midagi uut ja korralikku välja

[Scart]

[Heineken]

Ehk tuleb see nagu The Witcher Enhanced Edition - praeguse omanikud saavad selle lihtsalt peale tõmmata , teised saavad selle osta .
Aga samas , vaevalt et see juhtub . Lihtsalt lõi korra pähe .

[Vinku]

Kidlasti ei jõua juba ära oodata!
Left 4 Dead (esimene) pidigi selline välja nägema nagu tuleb teine.
Need E3 gameplay videod on L4D2 alpha versioonist! Isegi uut Witchi pole päevasel ajal.
Vähemasti zombid näevad inimeste moodi rohkem välja kui esimeses (hallid imelikud asjad.)
L4D2 tuleb kindlasti parem.

[Scart]

[xtriz]

Ise pole veel esimest osa jõudnud osta ja juba treitakse teise kallal...

[Andykas]

Tundub huvitav.

[Look Right]

See mootorsaag tundus treilas vinge. Kabaga peksmine oli veidi tüütu. Saega peaks neid saama ikka jõhkralt nottida.

[K3rT6699]

Neile, kes siin teemas või L4D teemas halavad / plaanivad halada uue mängu tuleku suhtes (Võibolla on juba läbi käinud):

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/06/01/left-4-dead-2-exclusive-podcast-with-chet-faliszek/

Põhjendavad ära miks uus mäng ja mitte uuendus esimesele. Ise ootan huviga.
