Left 4 Dead on Tour

[Evo]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up for some breaking news, Left 4 Dead is going on tour. Starting with the Leipzig GDC next week the zombie-horror game will be playable to both public and press. The Penny Arcade Expo at the end of the month will see the worldwide debut of the Xbox 360 version of the game. Finally from the 26th September you will get to see Left 4 Dead in action at the Festival du Jeu in France and at the PC Gamer Showdown here in the UK.[br]

"The shared experience of Left 4 Dead is unlike that of any other action game," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "That's what we've experienced playing the game, and from showing the game to the press and our partners. It sounds cliché, but in many ways you have to play this one to truly appreciate what we're attempting. So, to give gamers a chance to sample this new type of experience first hand, we're taking Left 4 Dead on the road."

The PC version of the game will be playable by the press and public at a series of upcoming events including Leipzig Games Convention, (Germany), Festival du Jeu Video (France), and PC Gamer Showdown (UK). The worldwide debut of the Xbox 360 version will be at the upcoming Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in Seattle, WA. Members of the development team will be on hand at each event to provide information and give away some Left 4 Dead memorabilia.

That isn't a road trip if they stay away from the east coast, mainly Boston, MA! If they did go to Boston though, I would certainly take a personal day from work. Now if they don't show the other 2 maps, and Infected gameplay, I would say it's a surprise until the games release. I would also expect a "meet the" style vids at each event. L4D might come out Nov.4, Nov.7, or even Nov.17 I'm hearing. It doesn't matter though cause it's only a week delay meaning an extra paycheck. :smoking:

With complete respect to my european homies, i sometimes feel valve cares more about people outside of the US than the people that make up over half the customers of their games- US.

Why the hell would you think that?
