Left 4 Dead 2 Gets Updated On Xbox One

GS: "Some time ago, Left 4 Dead 2 was listed on the Xbox Live Store for Xbox One Backwards Compatibility. Some users were able to download it through an exploit, which was later patched by Microsoft. However, that did kind of confirm that the game will be released for Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility soon and today, its chances have been increased."

When you consider L4D and L4D2 came out BEFORE the successful hit show The Walking Dead even aired its first season...... and since its success and multiple movies/tv shows featuring Zombies that came off the back of that TV show...... this franchise is DESPERATE for an update!!!!

What I would love to see is a L4D3 that remains faithful to its original gameplay, but has maps several times bigger than the originals and 8-player co-op. Because the 4-player was stunning but I think 8-Player would take it to an entire new level of teamwork, particularly if there are multiple goals in each level that encourages the team of 8 to split up at some points.

I also want there to be more "class" characters a tiny ickle bit like Evolve. Some having more health than others, others being a little faster, some able to carry more ammunition, some able to heal quicker, some that have better power/accuracy with shotguns, others who gain an advantage using assault rifles, etc. Just subtle difference between each character rather than just cosmetic. Nothing too ridiculous, I want them to be able to share weapons and items, but just focus on character differences that would happen in the real world such as skills with weapons, movement, abilities.

Bass_fisherman3701d ago

i think the franchise done enough as it is. If they launch a new L4D it will probably be like CS GO which is better looking but same thing as before.

Spatcad3701d ago

Uh, no. There's so much more they could do.. quick example:

More randomness in the maps

More types of special and common infected

Different weapons

Extra hazards which need team work to overcome faster

Day/night cycle with random weather

Multiple escape points to stop campers.

If you played the game much you would know there's still a lot more they could do with this game.

NerveGearneeded3700d ago

would love a l4d3 but 8 players would be too much unless it was more open world. everyone would be shooting each other in those hallways and small areas as in previous l4d's.

MasterD9193701d ago

Can't go back to playing this game on consoles after all the PC mods I've played on already...

Rivitur3701d ago

Not exciting news since the community is a toxic cess pool unless you're saying with campaign players. And this is coming from someone who was apart of that cesspool for 5+ years.

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit790d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead789d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica789d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL789d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit789d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash789d ago (Edited 789d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper789d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica787d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer790d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit790d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer789d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit789d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183789d ago (Edited 789d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer789d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183789d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper789d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal789d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood789d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183789d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde789d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Valve Made Left 4 Dead 2 Because The First Game Was A Broken Mess

Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."

ZycoFox901d ago

And then couldn't be arsed to make a third game.

If they can add a lot more stuff to a 2nd game in just 1 year why didn't they make a third game a few years later with tons of stuff extra? Because that shows they could've.

I know Source 2 was kind of broken and was a reason they cancelled L4D3 but it seems wasteful to just toss it away.

Don't know what Valve were thinking.. it's like nobody wanted to fix the issues to get going. They certainly aren't the Valve of 2004 that released fun games with pretty cutting edge graphics.

cthulhucultist900d ago

Valve is allergic to number 3 it seems. It would be easier for them to release a Left 4 Dead 2.5 enhanced version instead of releasing a game with "3" slapped on its title.

rakentaja899d ago

They stopped making games a long time ago. Steam brings in so much money that it's really not worth the effort. Nowadays, people only look for faults in games, and spend more time whining on Twitter/X than playing the game anyway. Valve says a big fat no-no.

anast900d ago

Value is the Blockbuster of video games. They have no need to invest in deving a game, when they can make handfuls of cash renting them.

-Foxtrot901d ago

What are they talking about? Seemed pretty alright to me at launch it just wasn't supported the way Valve promised us

They should have just worked on a revamp / massive update to the game but they didn't they jumped straight to a sequel with brand new characters despite having some sort, if small, story about where the original survivors were heading.

I didn't care for the direction they took the sequel, the original games tone and atmosphere was missing in the second game and is still unmatched. Daytime levels, more whackiness, melee weapons where you could attack a Tank with a frying pan...just wasn't the same to be honest and the new survivors just didn't hold up the originals.

Here's my speculation. I think they did a sequel because they didn't want to update a game co-developed by Turtle Rock, they wanted the franchise to be known as a Valve game only and knew if they updated the first one Turtle Rocks name would still linger on it.

shaenoide899d ago

I want broken games like L4D all day long...

GhostScholar899d ago

Well the first game was by far the best
