Sounds quite interesting, cheers - although I really doubt that the CS phenomenon is reproducable these days, let alone with a game people will have to pay for.

Why something like this is not available for the 360 is beyond me.

Actually, this exact game is also coming to the 360.

I hope it manages to do what Resi Evil Outbreak didn't. God, that was like my dream game until I played it...

Anyone notice how the inclusion of a simple co-op feature can turn the worst game into something fun? I wish more games had co-op.

...and it's also in the article. I'll refrain from commenting before the first coffee.

"Anyone notice how the inclusion of a simple co-op feature can turn the worst game into something fun? I wish more games had co-op."

Exactly. My personal theory is that you take a review score out of 10, and add 2/3 points if it has co-op. GoW gets an 8, playing two-player with my flatmate was almost a 10/10 experience - just not enough variety.

Wish more games would have "pure" co-op though, i.e. letting you play through the whole singleplayer campaign. RS: Vegas lets you do this over Live but not offline (on 360 anyway).

This sounds like a great game. However, I wonder if the 360 version will be full price or cut down to reflect it's nature. Are the gaming public ready to pay full price for an 'online only' (well it's pretty poinless without online by the sounds of things) console game yet?

"When a company like Valve tells you it thinks it has the next Counter-Strike on its hands, you pay attention."

Why? Since DoD/Natural Selection/Counter Strike were all conceived and developed by people who had nothing to do with Valve.

The best co-op I've ever played is like.. a decade old (almost). System Shock 2 over Internet! From being the scariest game I've ever played (alone) to a satisfying action adventure game where you have to share ammo and healthpacks and really cooperate to be able to survive.. awesome.

All I want is a single player game with weapons that handle as nicely as the ones in CS. Make it so someone!

It sounds a bit like a 3d version of Urban Dead. I wish someone would make a full game out of that, with barricading etc... It would be very difficult but I think it would work....dreams

So someone wouldn't be able to say "Band X are the new Beatles!" unless they'd managed The Beatles then?

Don't be daft.

Looking forward to this, the trailers look rather good and more zombie games are always welcome.

Come back when you dont need to use a stupid analogy whizzo.

"But they were all picked up by Valve because they were good, and Valve put in huge amounts of effort to make them ever better, including hiring the people behind them."

They were all picked up by Valve after they were succesful, and if you think Valve put in huge amounts of effort on developing the original Counter Strike or DoD, I think you may not have played them much. Effort went into developing sequels using Valve's new engine.

I'm not the person who is misreading a commonly used turn of phrase like "X is the new Y" and implying that unless you had direct involvement in the creation of Y you can't say it.

I must admit I just scanned through the article and missed the part about it coming out for 360. Am very happy that it is tho!

Co-op + Zombies + Live = Teh Win. :-)

CS was popular before valve bought up the name and (some of) the team that created it..

This I'd pay 10 quid on steam for, maybe 15 on 360 - not a full price title I think by any imagination.

I just really hope they will make it for PC, and then port it to X360, not the other way.

Only I didnt misread it or imply what you thought.

ps, try to defend your own flawed analogies or dont bother posting them TIA!


"@ave: Valve put in more effort into developing CS and DoD after they picked them up than you realise."
Considering the publically viewable patch notes, I disagree.

I read a preview article on this in PC Gamer a few months back
And it looks incredible :D

@ZuluHero
FFXI wasn't standard RRP for 360 games. It was a good £20 cheaper.

I started playing Cs:Cz and 1.6 a good while back and just this christmas bought Source. Though the add-ons like DoD:S were sometimes fun and sometimes not, I still love the work Valve does. I have been following L4D threw PC Gamer, and All of Valves reviews.

Point is, Valve has shown me the way from Console gaming, and will continue through with L4D. Bravo!

A while ago in a pub somewhere in Dorset me and a group of friends started talking about our dream games. This was basically mine so I'm a happy chappy.

@mkreku - I agree entirely. Gauntlet all the way! Haha

This sounds great - tbh though I love anything with co-op and wish there were more good co-op modes included in games :D

Have none of you played the CS:Source Zombiehorde Mod? It's absolutely brilliant and probably where the inspiration for this game came from.
