Left 4 Dead is like a movie

[CSN NewsBot]

In almost every article about Left 4 Dead, there is mention of how the scenario in the game can change from one moment to the next. The AI of the game plays a huge part in making this happen, but it isn't just limited to how the undead act. One of the guys over at Kotaku attended a gathering where Gabe Newell spoke about the upcoming game.

Left 4 Dead will live or die by its artificial intelligence. But it won't be the AI driving the undead that make or break the game, it will be the computer intelligence driving the game's direction.

Later on in the article, the AI is compared to a movie director. It is in a sense, since it will basically "write a script for you." I think that the changing scenarios during each playthrough is going to be fantastic, and keep the game fresh.

You should expect such delays in a Valve-based title. In the end, you know it's for the best as it's more polished.

Eh, I'm used to it by now. Just fun complaining when they give updates, but was very excited when Valve picked the title up to help with whatever they could.



Whatever happened to Blackwidow Games releasing the new They Hunger game???

Do they have 1 guy working on this game parttime?
