This may be of interest so!

Yeah, great to see that's being revived. The version of Colonial Marines that EA shelved was looking tasty.

Yeah, Dead Space has a rather Aliens feel about it in places. My fave game of the year (aside from Fifa).

if it's any consolation i'm near my 360 but don't have time to play it.

who releases demos on a fucking tuesday anyway? saps, that's who.

 

[the departed]

L4d is where its at. played the demo for 5 minutes but it was enough. cant wait to play it for real.

good ole fashioned fast-paced shooting with great atmosphere.

D'loaded the demo last night, but not had a go at it yet.

Looks VERY hectic in any clips I've seen. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Trade you something for it when you're finished? Maybe Fallout 3?

Two and a half hours and it's only at 65%. Off to bed I go.

 

[killy kill]

playing it(L4D demo) now, fucking rules

 

[the strange guy]

Just played it.
I'm blown away, can't wait to try out co-op.
Think I may pick it up for PC though.

 

[Gambra]

Fuck ALL you guys.. I've not been able to play ANY of these games..

 

[Johnnyc]

Sorry Citysickness, already have Fallout 3. Might trade in Dead Space and Tiger Woods against Call Of Duty if the reviews are good.

Played L4D last night, finally. Gotta say, I'm not blown away. I love the premise and the amosphere and I know it's supposed to be very arcadey, but I don't like how "light" everything feels.

You zip around like Sonic on roller skates and the graphics are a bit dated looking. If it looked like COD4 or Dead Space or fuck, even Resi 4, it'd add so much to it. But it looks a bit "Multiplayer Rainbow 6 Vegas" to me. Lots of very boxey looking models and locations. When someone heals you, you often stick your noggin "inside" their model (oo-er). The gun sound effects don't pack enough of a punch either.

Very let down by this.

Who were you playing with and at what difficulty Johnny?

From what I've read its pointless playing it on anything lower than advanced. BF:BC had shite graphics but its the best MP game I've played this year.

I'll be on about half ten tonight if anyone wants a run through of L4D or horde.

 

[Johnnyc]

Just played the single player, dunno what difficulty.

While I have big issues with the feel of the game, I'll freely admit I'm a graphics whore these days too. If it don't look the part, I have a hard time getting absorbed by it.

 

[CitySickness]

I thought it was pretty impressive, especially when you consider the scale it's operating at.

 

[CitySickness]

I'll definitely be on for some Left For Dead later on though.
