What's with being able to see your team mates through walls - I thought they were survivors not Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Boy Squad or whatever they’re called.
Personally, I think this game would benefit most from a reliance on sound and not much else. Proper use of sound, eg. footsteps, breathing, environmental noise (kicked cans, doors, etc.) would turn this into an absolute shitfest. Being readybrek enabled seems out of sorts.

>Sorry but it looked like a mix of Sven co-op and Natural Selection
Hmmm.. yes maybe a good comparison (BTW I consider that a good thing both are awesome). It does have "procedural AI" that adapts the experience to the situation and tries to keep the players in an "OMFG state" ;) But... then again... ZOMBIES!! >If its using the same code base etc as Orange Box then why no PS3 port? PS3 version of OB is a port... it is not using the same codebase. Valve is doing 360/PC codebase.

Loved the interview, and love the sound of the game even more, but I hate when you guys ask: "So will the DLC be free? Really free? But what if it doesn't sell, surely you'll charge then? C'mon, seriously, it's free?"".
Valve have being doing free for ages. If everyone keeps acting incredulous, I'm worried they're eventually gonna charge just because some people now seem to expect it. |

Well I don't know much about GoW so I don't know if Epic delivered on that, but Valve aren't Epic. If they can make it free they will, and seeing as they've been giving me free content for years I see no reason why they're gonna stop now.
edit: and not to get all partisan, but I don't care if they start charging for Xbox DLC because those players expect it it, but for PC they'd better keep their promises.

I read about a mode where it identifies any player who is away from the group and targets them with a shed load of zombies

"I read about a mode where it identifies any player who is away from the group and targets them with a shed load of zombies"
But how many zombies can you actually fit in a shed? Id say six, tops. Even less than that if the shed already has a lawnmower, couple of bikes, some old cans of paint, etc. a shedload of zombies would be a piece of piss. |

PC + PS3 = play pretty much everything.
And since I have the dosh to afford it, I have a good PC and I'll be running this alot better than any one of you 360 fanbois could dream of, and when that tires me I'll go play bioshock, then I'll go play mgs4. 360 is redundant if you can afford a good pc. Halo has nothing on PC shooters. Kthx bie Edit: Oh, and this game looks mint :-P

It's not that bad a name, no worse than any zombie films so it's definately meant to be tongue in cheek and at least the 4 has meaning rather than just being txt speak for the hell of it

Text speak is ALWAYS for the hell of it. It's a shit name.
Though I find zombies tedious and my first thought on seeing the gameplay vids is that source seems to be showing its age a bit nowadays, it looks like the kind of game that will live or die purely on gameplay. Also, I worry that it'll get old quick once you and friends have played all the maps a few times. Needs regular map additions to keep people playing, by which I mean like one a month or thereabouts. They could have a standing monthly mapping competition, and the winner gets their map put on steam. |
