A co-op zombie shooter from the Left 4 Dead and Evolve creators. Not much information now, but I'm sure will make a splash at E3 in a few months.

I went to college with one of the founders. Good to see them bouncing back from Evolve.

Left 4 Dead / Left 4 Dead 2 are two of my favorite games of all-time. Evolve on the other hand is my worst blind buy since State Of Emergency. Hopefully this one works out.

My friends and I played an obscene amount of L4D1. We played a decent amount of part 2, but it didn't hit the same chords with us as the first one did. I hope this tracks closer to the first one.

The L4D games to this day were and are in my Top 5 co-op best overall fun experiences I had...along with a barrel full of laughs. The characters were fun...the insane stuff you got to use was fun...the pace was just right...they were just plain good old fashion fun. Since no word or much of anything on this...for the time being might look at the World War Z game coming shortly to tie you over for some good Zombie Killing..or go and play Killing Floor 2. Glad to see them coming out with something...

How did I not know there was a Left 4 Dead sequel (kinda) in the pipeline??

Hell yeah. My favorite 360 gen series. This looks great. Hopefully I can find a Series X by June.

I'm actually surprised there haven't been more L4D clones over the years given how popular the first two games were. And this one basically looks like L4D3, plus it's from the original devs...I wonder if Valve is considering legal action?

New Lurker

Yeah there's also a game play trailer and it's legitimately like a full on sequel. The safe rooms are the same. The sound bites are very similar. They showed Boomers, Spitters, & Chargers in the video, although with slight redesigns. They use the number 4 in the title. I sure hope Valve doesn't sue, but I can see why they may have a case. The game play trailer also shows what looks to be a 30 foot tall redesign of a Tank. This game looks fun as shit.

Interesting video up with the Devs talking bout their vision for Back 4 Blood....it's not going to be a L4D clone by any means.... Back 4 Blood Won't Just Be a Left 4 Dead Clone Says Turtle Rock Studios (playstationlifestyle.net)

Well crap...was looking foward to this in June...still a lot scheduled then but oh well....

I had it pre ordered and they canceled my pre order last night. The email says that's how they have to do it to unlist it and relist it with a new date. I'm okay with that as long as it ends up being true. Hope that isn't just lip service for a game that's going to be canceled...

K&AJones

Hopefully not but I didn't like seeing that October Date...I was hoping more like August at best......I had this and possibly Aliens;Fireteam down....but October might be good right before the Holiday Seasonal Rush we see late October and early November.

Also may sell better during Halloween month.

New trailer up showcasing...The Card System.....pretty interesting concept, how it works and basically providing a constant change on how you approcah each mission and area; it's not going to be the same no matter what....

Interesting concept for sure.

In case some thinking of getting the game...Beta starts August 4th for PO's and runs thru Aug 11th......PvP and PvE gets two maps, access to various weapons, able to play..."Mom" and the other Cleaners and check out the New Card System.

I have codes for 3 people to join the beta on Xbox if anyone wants them. No lurkers, people who post here regularly....

Post you want and I will PM to you

OldBoy

I’ll take. Could have sworn I posted.

Pretty cool game, definitely makes me feel like I'm playing L4D again. And so far the crossplay is working great.

My main issue is the matchmaking. If you leave a campaign run mid-act it is almost impossible to continue it later (and it won't let you continue a campaign run solo). In my experience it has been better to just restart the Act.

I only played a little last night, and the card system seems very unintuitive to me. Maybe it adds something to the game when you figure it, but sometimes simple is better.

It also might have helped if my friend started us with the tutorial instead of right into the game, but I'll see about that today when I play through it myself.

K&AJones

Two of us started last night with just Bots and it actually wasn't bad at all...later another friend jumped in and personally we all felt Three Humans + One bot worked darn good....it was chaotic and fun. We kept seeing Tallboys and Exploding Doughboys all the time; almost seemed a bit too much. In the Beta I tried just guns but went with Holly using Bat and Shotgun and that was far more fun....overall we had a good time...

The Card System...we just went with Starter but after we got more 'Points" and bought more cards, we can see where this will be useful to fine tune to your Playstyle and not just benefit you but your team as well.....we all played Left-4-Dead when it came out and this picks up where it left off and adds quite a bit more.

The controls feel a little clunky to me, but maybe it's because I'm used to COD mechanics.
