Well, Im pretty sure Coach is gonna be my favorite character, Bond is gonna play as the gambler guy who looks like Daniel Craig and shoots a pistol (like, duh obviously), so Darth you have your choice of the news reporter girl (Rochelle) or the mechanic guy with the baseball cap (Ellis).

This is gonna be way better than the original game, I can tell you that for sure. Its going to be Valve's biggest game ever and they are going all our to make it an amazing experience and fully worthy of the $10M they are spending marketing it.

I don't like any of them, I want my zoey back :(

Chronic said...

Maybe in L4D3 she will be back :-)

The new characters look good overall and lets be honest here, this isnt a soap opera or a very story driven game, this is a frantic action shooter. Also, its not like Zoey got killed shes just not in this game, shes at Mercy Hospital trying to get on that freakin chopper (the events of the two games take place within days of each other).

L4D2 will be much bigger and better than the original game. At first I was skeptical but after reading up on the development, which included bringing the guys who started the L4D2 Boycott to Valve's headquarters and letting them test the new game and give comments and feedback, I think Valve is really trying to improve on the concepts of the original to make a more fully realized game.

Actually they are spending $25M marketing L4D2, not $10M - thats what they spent on the original game. Valve is throwing down the gauntlet here, and they're gonna take all the money they make and use it on Half Life 3.

Still they created a cast of characters all with their own personalities. I guess to some people it's more important to feel some connection with the character they're playing with then other people... Sure it won't make any difference in the end but I feel better playing with a character I'm close to.

I liked the whole cast in l4d1, but judging from the vid I won't like the new cast, aside from Coach and Nick. But like you already said those two are already going to be spoken for...

Long story short, just give us DLC skins... I'll pay if needed...
