Left 4 Dead Trailer Reaches Times Square

[Hectic Glenn]

See the video below for a short clip of the trailer currently being shown on the big screen at Times Square. As you may remember:

Valve have launched a massive promotional campaign for the game costing $10 million and covering television, online, print and outdoor advertising. The promotional posters for the game feature the logo of the game, the disfigured hand that is now synonymous with the game.

The media infection...continues.[br]</br>

[simon]

hah, awesome!, need to find out who to ask so I can promote Off Limits that way rofl

 

[Duracell]

That is so awesome, I've never seen a game get so much eye catching advertisement, lets hope it pays off :upstare:

 

[Lucid]

I've already heard some of my friends talk about the game and all they ever play is stuff like Madden or Halo.
This is a good sign, even though they'll probably check it out on consoles, the word is spreading.

I've seen ads for the game on a few buses too.

Can't wait, this'll be VALVe's biggest multiplayer venture yet.

so? I live in the UK, I'll say again:

It's getting loads of advertisement in places that most people don't look, I've heard loads of people talking about it that normally wouldn't look twice at a game like L4D.

 

[Druckles]

I would laugh if no-one enjoyed it.

Simply at the sweet irony.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

I think I have just discovered a new source tech; God Rays

You could see the lighting change when a zombie ran in front of the light source

 

[Mess]

i'd be very impressed if that effect is in-game and not just an effect for the trailer.

 

[Javert]

They should've added a couple of seconds of the G-man for good measure. ^^
