[MacReady13]

My fav director of all time. Means nothing when it comes to gaming obviously but I'll support him here. Looks cool. I'm in!

 

[ecosse_011172]

Yeah, I'll pass

Did they ruin it by not having only white men? The rotters!
Can't believe they keep pretending there are other types of people in the world, so unrealistic. Boycott this insanity!

 

[ecosse_011172]

Looks like fun but likely no single player will mean a nope from me.
Otherwise, I'd be well keen.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I loved watching this trailer but the game name is doing it such a disservice. Any other generic name would have done.
At first I thought it was sequel to Clive Barker's Jericho.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Yeah, I'll pass

Are those female hair styles ever going to end, or is this it now?

This is akin to the female Perm in the 80's, but forever.

Here is the cast of Left 4 Dead 1 and 2. If you can't see the difference between these and that trash, there's nothing I can do for you. Keep thinking it's because of racism or sexism or whatever.

 

[roosnam1980]

sabre bringing a bit of snowrunner into the FPS genre , game looks fun

 

[STARSBarry]

As someone who played this a bit actually...

Its weird and jank, maybe the jank can be ironed out. But the rest of it, well im not sure. Its probably not a game il be buying into though.

Oh there's TWO black people in L4D2? Now that's what I call a sequel.

 

[yogaflame]

Gaas?

 

[Wildebeest]

The music sells the action in the trailer but if it is a grindy multiplayer game I would the music off and listen to a podcast instead. But personally I like this style more than Space Marine 2.

 

[Luipadre]

Watched some preview videos. Looks fun? Need a beta tho

Its had a few.

I initially thought this was just a co-op MP shooter like L4D or WWZ. I guess it is but the trailer acts like there's moments of resource gathering, driving, and moving around much larger environments than the others and that seems kind of cool if that's the case. Glad they dropped EGS exclusivity.

Commando with tons of toxicity? Say less:

 

[Chuck Berry]

Yeah, I'll pass

Yes, there are, and no one complained about it because they are not there to meet quotas.

 

[Ellis]

I'm sold.

I wonder if his boy Cody is doing the soundtrack to it. Wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Sethbacca]

So I checked to see if there was a thread on this game after apparently I missed this months ago. I thought the trailer last night looked like a ton of fun. Very Left 4 Dead coded obviously. Why is there no hype for this? It's only 29.99 for preorder on PS store right now for people who owned world war z.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Pre-order now on PC, Xbox Series X|S or PS5 and enjoy the Leon's Secret Stash DLC for free

Mark your calendars: John Carpenter's Toxic Commando launches March 12, 2026!

Gear up, drag your friends into the chaos, and show the Sludge God the true meaning of kick-ass-explosive-over-the-top action.

Steam machine can't come soon enough so I can just play L4D2 instead on comfy couch.

Even a Steam Deck runs LF4D2 maxed out 1080p. I play it every once in a while downstairs where I've got that hooked up. I see what you mean though, as I'm probably getting a machine and putting it on the OLED upstairs.

At some point I should try connecting an hdmi to my deck dock and see how it looks output to my tv. An L4D fest could be fun.

Funny, as I thought the music had very little of the Carpenter signature beats and sounds. He has such iconic themes, very synth heavy though and more moody, I suppose.

John Carpenter was only 35 when he made this video. he looks like he's 50.

What, you want me to watch BTiLC for the umpteenth time?

Ok!

 

[icecold1983]

Is this basically a World War Z sequel?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Yeah, he's been a grumpy old man for 40 years. Poor genetics and smoking, I guess. We need a 4k of this movie yesterday!

The game looks like it might be fun.
