I'm totally welcome to L4D2, but **** this. Where's my EP3, Valve?

This. Come on Valve, I want to get my hands on EP3 before I die dammit!

I think they're taking quite a risk when they want to continue the series like that. I mean, the original L4D was a huge surprise (and, for me, eagerly anticipated), because, well, the zombie apocalypse taken to a Valve level! What more would you want?

And now we have L4D2, said to be pre-purchased many more times than the original (which, frankly, I don't believe). However, the demo got several negative reactions as well. So I think it's safe to assume that expectations will continue to rise, up to a level where Valve itself won't be able to live up to.

So let's speculate a bit. What'll be easier to do, after L4D2? Release more levels? Some new weapons, maybe the occasional new SI? Or yet again 4 new persons, multiple new SI, and a truckload of new levels, taking place in (? what original area could one come up with at this point?). At a certain point, I think even creating EP3 from scratch will be an easier task!

That said, what if EP3 will take place during the Zombie Apocalypse?

 

[Ennui]

The L4D and Ep3 teams are separate. The reason Ep3 is taking so long is not because of focus on L4D (at least not primarily).

 

[Operational]

The quote is clearly talking about DLC.

 

[Avoidist]

Is the link broken for anyone else?

Ah, I see. Didn't bother to read TFA.

 

[Lucid]

If they actually made a third L4D I would probably lose all respect for VALVe.

 

[Captain M4d]

It's probably going to come out in December.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

And it won't be a game this time...Valve is Umbrella.

 

[Rico]

RL zombie shooting? I'd pay Valve thousands for that.

 

[Lizardizzle]

it doesn't say anything about l4d3 except for that first page. He doesn't ever really ask him that question. They'll do DLC anyways
