Apparently it’s zombie week at Steam. They just released new DLC for both games in the Left 4 Dead franchise, and had them on sale for 66% off. Now their new weekend deal is the Co-op survival horror zombie shooter Killing Floor marked down to $9.99. In fact, everything related to Killing Floor is 50% off, including all three DLC Character packs, and the Bundle pack (Although the bundle pack actually comes out to two cents MORE than just buying everything individually).
In a cyberpunk future, choose from six specialists to battle waves of mechanical monstrosities created by a megacorporation in this co-op survival shooter.
Following Left 4 Dead's undying legacy, the developer of the game shares that a new likewise project is in the works.
L4D had potential to be so much more. The issue was that the release of the second game just one year after the first added a decent amount of content which was much needed, then there was nothing except for a few small content updates spread far between.
This is one of the only games I can think of that benefits from a yearly release, or at least a yearly DLC so it doesn't split the player base.
The games just got too samey and lack content.. it's a shame they didn't keep up the pace, I know you can download new maps but it doesn't change the overall game or add new enemies etc.
Regardless of what Valve officially said they didn’t need to do a sequel that fast, things could have easily been added to the original overtime and the sad thing is the characters and atmosphere of the original was better than the sequel. I mean we went from the dark, grim city streets to the sunny south where we are hitting massive menacing tanks with frying pans.
I honestly believe Valve killed it because it was a Turtle Rock game at its core and Valve wanted it to be known as an Valve only IP moving forward
They even brought back the original survivors just to kill one of them off (even though in the original they were heading North to Canada)
Lol L4D2 came out in 2009, and you are saying it should have been a 2020s type live service game. It's just a great game, it doesn't need battle passes and skins.
This attitude is why devs are afraid to make any multiplayer game that isn't a live service.
Also in these current economic times live services is just a no go when people are being more frugal with their purchasing power. I don't do any subscription services anymore which means I can't do multiplayer on a console even if I wanted too. Something the console manufacturers should think about if they want to get players to even try their online stuff.
Killing Floor 3 is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X | S on 24 July, but if you’re playing on a pc, you’ll want to make sure your rig is capable of running the game at its best. One of the requirements set is that an SSD is mandatory. Now I know most gamers should have an SSD, but it’s quite a strange requirement set by the developers, so best get an SSD if you want to experience the game at its best.
