Darktide is the best l4d successor out there if you haven’t played it yet!
Is this going to be another Back 4 Blood situation?
From the guys who were in the room when Left 4 Dead was being made
Goddamn that is brutal but also very accurate, fuck.
That game was such trash. A real mockery of what made L4D great.
I really wanted it to be good, too. They tried to modernize the mechanics so much that they lost touch with what made L4D fun in the first place.
I did enjoy it but I only maybe put 10 hours into it or so. I think it tried to be more than L4D with all the perks/cards or whatever but IMO people just want a simple replayable zombie survival game you can spontaneously jump in and out of with some friends
I don’t see myself ever playing a video game with cards in it.
I hear “cards” or “deck-building” or “RPG mechanics” and I think oh my god no
Even as someone who generally enjoys games adapted with similar rules, I HATE videogames with cards or a board as their main logical center. It’s a VIDEO GAME, not a table top… FFS, at least hide it behind a minimally intrusive UI… That’s the fucking point in having a computer and interface involved: it doesn’t have to be reduced to a small set of human-parseable rules presented as text.
I didn’t enjoy it at all, but you’re right about what people wanted. L4D is so simple in its core concept and streamlined in its gameplay, but it still has a ton of depth. That’s what people want.
I just generally need more games I can just quickly play. Why do I have to spend 30+ minutes just to play anything? I love Rocket League for the ability to quickly do a few games with the friends while we consider what to play.
It had the worst gunplay ive felt in a long time and the atmosphere of the game was destroyed by all the rainbow coloured glow effects and animations. That game was so full of really weird design choices.
Ready 4 Action
Wait 4 Me
No, it’s a new studio it seems.
Mike Booth is Turtle Rock’s founder
Urg, why didn’t they mention that in the article?
Also The Anacrusis
Is this going to be another Evolve situation?
Evolve was better than Back 4 Blood at least.
Talk about a low bar
For real, but Evolve did entertain and had something even if it was scant and repetitive. B4B was 300% garbage. Worse than L4D in every way.
At least the early early days of Evolve were pretty damn fun, so unfortunate what they did with it though. The balancing between monsters and hunters was fucking terrible by season 2.
God I loved that game so much
Looks like he left turtle Rock 3 years before evolve, so maybe there’s actually hope that he was part of what made l4d great, rather than whoever’s at turtle Rock since l4d wrapped
