Left 4 Dead gets Euro date
Valve zombie shooter in November.
EA has told Eurogamer that Left 4 Dead will be out in Europe on 7th November.
Both PC and Xbox 360 versions should be out on the same day, and will follow the E3-announced US date by three days.
Developed by Turtle Rock, Left 4 Dead is an online co-operative zombie shooter for you and your friends. You can even control the zombies as you try to eat the quartet of human survivors.
Interestingly, 7th November is the same day Gears of War 2 will be released in Europe. Gulp.
Head over to our Left 4 Dead gallery for the latest E3 screenshots.

this looks great, would much rather have it than gears2. although is it online co-op only? no single player or split screen local co-op? is a dealbreaker for me...

Good: All the bigoted morons will be busy playing that overrated piece of turd GoW 2 so I won’t have to listen to them on Xbox Live.
Bad: That’s leaves very few people to play Left 4 Dead against because as we know 95% of Xbox owners are bigoted morons.
I can see painful experiences of trying to find a game for half an hour like TF2 again. Oh lord why do you punish me for not being a PC gamer!

You can definitely play it 2 player split screen, and I'd be utterly astonished if you couldn't play it offline.

There were hints of sarcasm but a huge grounding in truth.
If there was one thing that put me off Gears of War it was the racist whooping arseholes that populated online matches.
Who am I kidding, there was lots of things that put me off Gears of War! A cover system that rarely worked (Cover and run should be on seperate buttons!) Supposedly brilliant HD graphics presented in a wide range of greys and browns, and for one level gold was added! A plot and cast of characters so moronic it makes Starship Troopers look like Citizen Kane! And although it's unfair to judge the game on the people who make it, the fact that Cliffy B is a grade A self-satisfied shithorn makes me hate it even more.
But I digress, my main point is that I've had my experience of online games of GTA4, Halo and COD4 tainted by idiots (many of them clearly too young to own the game) spouting racist, sexist and homophobic drivel numerous times. Conversely I never had that problem with TF2 which seemed to attract a better class of human being and I hope this carries on to Left 4 Dead.

"But I digress, my main point is that I've had my experience of online games of GTA4, Halo and COD4 tainted by idiots (many of them clearly too young to own the game) spouting racist, sexist and homophobic drivel numerous times."
After much humming and hahing I subscribed to Live. I played my first (and only) game of Halo 3 (in the baby zone you know a small amount of other players, you have to graduate or some crap to play with the big boys) and the first thing I heard was some moronic kid spouting racist, sexist and homophobic drivel at me. It was kinda off-putting and not in a "man, this guy has me rattled", more like when a particularly annoying fly gets into your bedroom, a racist, sexist, homophobic fly. It'd been a while since I'd played Halo3 and it says something that I found the mute all option before figuring out how to melee again, there may be a way to mute individuals but I couldn't find it easily and wasn't wasting time looking.
Haven't been arsed playing since but then again, I'd rather play TF2 with the people I've known since CS and DOD for the last eight or nine years or so on a regular server than Halo 3 with some random people (including, I have no doubt, only a relatively small percentage of assholes).
And people wonder why Nintendo hasn't brought out voice comms.
Anyhoo, Left 4 Dead looks awesome. Can't wait to group up with my buddies and kill teh zombehs! Sorry, I mean "Grp w m8s n kil teh Zmbs" or whatever.

It's very easy and quick to mute people on Live (particularly in CoD4 and Halo 3).

As to this, been looking forward to it for a while! Hurrah!

bugger, expensive gaming day ahead! I'm soooooo getting both! Which one to play first?

The only fuckers that have me reaching for the mute button on a regular basis are the people who think it's awesome to play music down the mic, or to constantly talk to other people in their living room without muting.

It's self-righteous to think "I don't want to play with foul-mouthed, racist and homophobic people" now?

Perhaps you just play at the right times. I'm sure when kids are just getting in from school in the US is the very worst time to play.
edit: Also, forgive my lack of Live knowledge, but can't you just choose to play on UK servers only? Surely the lag would be loads better on those servers anyway?

Yes I was baffled by that response too.
In reply to Skillian, as far as I'm aware most Xbox live games don't allow you to limit to particular countries. It's a shame because I found the more pleasant times to play are when the majority of America is asleep or at school.
Also in reply to "why not just mute them" comments, yes fair enough that is the obvious solution, but while some games (Halo) have a very good interface to instantly mute people other games don't (GTA4 particularly irritates me, especially the online races which idiots seem to flock to). It's also something that shouldn't need to be done, particularly in games where communication is integral to the experience, as I imagine it will be in Left 4 Dead.

What kind of Utopia is it you think we live in?
...particularly in games where communication is integral to the experience, as I imagine it will be in Left 4 Dead.
How many people are realistically going to be playing Left 4 Dead with randoms? Please, clearly you will get 3 mates in to play with you!

Well considering my social circle doesn't resemble the male cast of The Big Bang Theory the extent of my friends multiplayer habits are getting pissed playing Rock Band. I would imagine this is the case for a majority of people as well (hence why online games have matchmaking settings) so playing with randoms is going to be a common occurence.

cant justify blowing £80 on games on one day for one to sit on the shelf for near a month...
or worse to dip in and out of both...
its coin flipping time.
