Kinda crazy how they made a sequel a year after the original but haven't made a new one since then. Hopefully they add a compelling campaign next time, something similar to Dead Island, which is what I originally thought l4d was gonna be when I saw the CGI trailer for the original one.

@ nofingershaha
Well do the math...

They are using the Source engine which is old. And it was built using much of the original L4D.

The graphics aren't exactly cutting edge and apparently visuals are the most expensive part of development.

They developed this game in under a year. You often hear developers spend years creating a game.

With all that said there is no doubt in my mind this was a low budget project. And they aren't just selling millions on the 360, its probably selling even better on the PC.

@ Mr Puggsly
I wouldn't call it a budget game but most of the cost was associated with the first game game only. It seems Valve already had all the things they need to make the sequel quickly and not to mention they were also using an old (but proven) game engine.

IxisNaugus posted 08/01/2010, 01:49
I love how whenever a sequel is not radically different from its predecessor its automatically "X game 1.5" or "Just the same game again". It's funny because these are probably the same people who moan and bitch whenever a game is "too different". Have these people even played the game? It was bad enough when people moaned at Modern Warfare 2, calling it MW1.5 and now they want to do this for Left 4 Dead 2. They'll probably do the same thing when Super Mario Galaxy 2 is released as well.

Angry rant aside, i hopefully should get round to picking this game up soon, i enjoyed local co-op with a friend on the first game (which i still need to get), and this one is just as great.

The attraction comes from it being a fun co-op multiplayer game that you can jump right into.

I own both games on the 360 and PC. It just doesn't get old to me. People are going to be playing these games for many years to come.

But to build that $100 machine you'll have to shop online for the best prices. Also you need to know how to build a computer. I assume you'll be using a pirated copy of Windows as well.

I think buying a Xbox 360 is easier for the typical consumer. Do we forget the masses aren't computer gurus?

I play with a dual core procesor (2.2 ghz., intel) and a NVidia GeForce 7800 GTX in medium quality with split screen =). You just have to discover the trick .
That is a machine that u could have built in 2005 and you can build it now for less than $100 USD.

Well my computer is a single core AMD 64 with a Geforce 7600. Those are the recommended requirements as well. It does not run nearly as well as the 360 even on lowest settings.

With that said, I can presume if you want 360 performance a high end Geforce 8 is the way to go.

System wars on the l4d2 wall? Come on guys, just enjoy this great game. There are plenty of good reasons to buy the PC version, and some people would just rather buy the x360 version. No need to argue.

@Boneitis: You don't need a high end 8 series card to play it at the same level as the x360 version. That's simply incorrect.

@ solidpumar
To play L4D2 as well as the 360 you need at least a dual core processor and a high end Geforce 8. And if you want to play with a friend there is no split screen. You'll need another computer.

A 360 only cost $200 and the game installation is simple. You put the CD in the tray and the game starts.

The world isn't full of computer guru's like you and I. Just be happy people are buying the game no matter what platform it is.

For the record, the combined sales of L4D2 are far better than Uncharted 2.

But we'll have to wait and see which has better legs. The original Left 4 Dead is still selling pretty well. While the original Uncharted was heavily bundled.
