t3h w00t d0t c0m has already invested heavily into this game. Myself, readymix, aegis, skarecrow.. Plus some non-members of mnsubaru: el_bobbo, traid (don't think he's joined our steam community yet), plus some other losers that sit on irc all day.
My new PC components arrive Wednesday. Then I will be down for some of this. Core2Duo E8400, 4GB DDR2, Asus P5Q Pro mobo, and a temporary loaner 7900GT should make some stuff a bit more playable than the old A64 3000+, 1GB, 7600GS (agp).
4 player co-op.. or 8 player mp (4 human, 4 zombie) FTMFW. For others wondering, this game is built on the valve engine, same thing as HL2, team fortress 2, portal, etc. It doesn't take a monster machine to run this game. I'm able to play it at high res settings with my box: amd x2 4200+ 64 4 gig ram ati x1950 xtx Game Settings: 1280x1024, 2xAA, everything on high. If you buy the game now, you get 10% off (pre-purchase). Demo comes out tomorrow for everyone, but pre-purch people got it last week. I'll be playing tonight for a little while.
This game is FTW. Aegis and I have been playing online a bit with it too. Definately wild when the zombies get pissed and rush you.
mmm i have to buy...i being a avid zombie game fan... (resident evil 1 2 3 4 Gun survivor Etc) and many more
http://store.steampowered.com/app/500/ I believe the free demo should be available to all users either today or tomorrow. Don't quote me on that yet though. For now, pre-pay customers get the demo early.
Fair enough, hopefully that comes out today or tomorrow, if it comes out tomrorow, maybe we'll have a Wednesday night zombie killing spree.
ive been quietly preparing for a true zombie apocolypse pretty much since the day i saw night of the living dead....im serious. itll happen..
poor aegis... she was spent the evening running around while I was throwing things at her... and hitting her with a modern cattle prod.
This game plays like a zombie apocalypse movie. You and 3 other survivors pitted against an entire city (hospital, forest, office building) full of zombified humans. 28Days later type zombies (meaning they look like dead humans milling about). And the zombie rushes are similar to that movie. In fact, the whole game is played as if it was a zombie movie...with a director (computer controlled) that adds drama by releasing more zombies on your group, or moving ammunition and guns from where you saw them before. Stuff like that. It's definately a riot when the hordes come rushing in.
Also, it will be available for 360. You will not be able to play with US if you use the 360 version. So ... you better hope you've upgraded
yeah i knew it was coming out for 360 and plan on getting it,but no i havent "upgraded" but i will gladly take your donations!
No kidding. I'd love to play cross platform TF2 online and watch all the poor console suckers flail about with their thumbpads.
Granted, any FPS would be horrible to play in such a situation (for the thumbstick wielders) there are still some genres where this would be fun (and maybe even possible for both parties to compete evenly). I'd still enjoy getting my ass handed to me while playing a console in a FPS.
For those of you who pre-ordered it, they are offering pre-install so that you can play as soon as it goes live.
OK someone please get a picture of the billboard that is visible from 494 in bloomington for me. I donno if I'll be able to make it out there before it changes.
Well I'll pick up the game next week. My Steam name is Ernasty btw in case I harass any of you via Steam to game with me..lol
L4D2 unlocked on Steam last night, but I forgot to fire it up and play it. Plus, they were about an hour late on their decrypt and unlock of the game. No biggie.
The Steam servers were all kinds of bombarded last night. We were having trouble logging in for a couple hours last night.
