Published by Krafton, the same fucknuts that screwed the Subnautica 2 creators out of their $250 million dollar bonus to plow into some lame AI venture 🤮
Didn’t see Krafton mentioned. I was hoping they were just the publisher and the studio was independent, but alas:
On 11 November 2022, South Korean video game publisher Krafton announced that it planned to acquire Neon Giant for an undisclosed amount - which was scheduled to begin on 14 December.
Being able to transform into a fucking dragon at will practically whenever the hell you want was a massive plus in the game’s favor. Hell of a lot of jank though.
It feels like so many devs and studios have been trying to bring back the magic of that era but L4D was such a product of the times. Hard to imagine any similar games in that vein succeeding today.
I don’t know about that. If Valve made Left 4 Dead 3 with some minor iterative improvements (better graphics, same gameplay, maybe a new mode) and no trash monetisation (B2P like the first two games), I think it would be very successful.
I’d say Deep Rock Galactic has a lot of the same appeal, and thas doing pretty well. Though it also made the bold and controversial decision of actually innovating and creating something new, rather than sticking as close to the original as possible.
Last time I have heard about a L4D co-creator making another co-op game, we got Back 4 Blood which I got beta for and which sucked some major ass and eventually died in less than 2 years after release. So, no. I am not hyped and nobody should until they actually show a good game. Glad my beta was free. Didn’t had to pay for this crap to figure out it is crap.
Dead within 2 years. They also had the balance pretty fucked until about 6 months in. All in all, no one should expect much from the company who makes games “built from the ground up with paid DLC in mind.”
You can’t be out of the game this long and think you’re going to make another left 4 dead. We saw that with back 4 blood and we will see it with this one.
As a hardcore fan of L4D, I just found it hilarious that I had to google for the name of their spiritual successor to L4D and that game before Back 4 Blood where you have 4 teammates hunt or be hunted by 1 big monster. Both are unmemorable abandonware games while L4D2 (also is kind of an abandonware) somehow is still played and is almost old enough to drink. Fucking timeless classic, I may say.
I love l4d2 and when i saw b4b on sale for $5 I was so excited. Surely I can get $5 of value of out this game. Nope after playing the first level everything was off with the game and I refunded it.
I instantly disliked the shooting and quickly grew to hate all the colourful effects they added. None of the effects fit the style of the game.
