Is this going to be another Back 4 Blood situation?
From the guys who were in the room when Left 4 Dead was being made
Goddamn that is brutal but also very accurate, fuck.
That game was such trash. A real mockery of what made L4D great.
I really wanted it to be good, too. They tried to modernize the mechanics so much that they lost touch with what made L4D fun in the first place.
I did enjoy it but I only maybe put 10 hours into it or so. I think it tried to be more than L4D with all the perks/cards or whatever but IMO people just want a simple replayable zombie survival game you can spontaneously jump in and out of with some friends
I don't see myself ever playing a video game with cards in it.
I hear "cards" or "deck-building" or "RPG mechanics" and I think oh my god no
Even as someone who generally enjoys games adapted with similar rules, I HATE videogames with cards or a board as their main logical center. It's a VIDEO GAME, not a table top... FFS, at least hide it behind a minimally intrusive UI... That's the fucking point in having a computer and interface involved: it doesn't have to be reduced to a small set of human-parseable rules presented as text.
I didn't enjoy it at all, but you're right about what people wanted. L4D is so simple in its core concept and streamlined in its gameplay, but it still has a ton of depth. That's what people want.
I just generally need more games I can just quickly play. Why do I have to spend 30+ minutes just to play anything? I love Rocket League for the ability to quickly do a few games with the friends while we consider what to play.
It had the worst gunplay ive felt in a long time and the atmosphere of the game was destroyed by all the rainbow coloured glow effects and animations. That game was so full of really weird design choices.
Ready 4 Action
Wait 4 Me
No, it's a new studio it seems.
Mike Booth is Turtle Rock's founder
Urg, why didn't they mention that in the article?
