Left 4 Dead Demo Dated, Cinematic Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the spry-zombies dept.

Valve has announced that their upcoming horror game Left 4 Dead will have a demo available for play on November 11th. They've also released an impressive four-minute cinematic to show off the game's theme. Left 4 Dead is set to launch on November 18th, and if pre-order numbers are any indication, it will be even more popular than the Orange Box. CVG put together a short survival guide for dealing with those troublesome Infected, and Firing Squad did an interview with Turtle Rock Studios' Michael Booth, in which he mentioned that they want to be able to track stats through Steam so players are able to build a "reputation."

    Talk about being behind the times. This news has been out for *at least* 2 days.

    Lovely. Now you too can be booted for not having a high enough global ranking, or playing so well that your host's ranking looks poor by comparison, just like in Warcraft 3 or many Xbox Live titles!

    If Valve is involved, then it likely contains the Steam virus.
