It's probably messed up because technically the demo's already "up" so it's not being done under usual protocol. It probably just needs to be shifted from one area to another.

 

[Dacvak]

Check your PM's

Many thanks.

everything goes up around then

:lol I love reading the walls in L4D.

edit: The one down the bottom is priceless, "I miss the internet" :lol

 

[wormstrangler]

Cool graffiti

Man, don't post those RPS images here, I'm trying not to spoil any of the 'movies'.


That's pretty awesome though.

 

[Stoney Mason]

I'm still on the fence about picking up this title...

How is the replayability aspect supposed to come in?

A lot of us have put in 10+ hours into the demo, which is 1.5 levels.

That's more then I put into most games.

lol at the little graffiti at the bottom. "I miss the internet."

Fair enough. I guess part of me is looking at this like Halo 3 or COD 4 multiplayer which is perhaps not the best way to view this title.

 

[Zek]

is it just me or does that mushroom cloud look slightly phallic

Play the demo then.

I've played through the demo almost 30 times. I'll be playing the fuck out of the full release.

 

[TheGreatDave]

The replayability of this game is fucking phenomenal

Arghh! Stop it guys! I'm jealous! where's the freakin' demo?

 

[lochnesssnowman]

I've not even watched a video for this game - I just know it'll be the type of shit I'm all over. I'll definitely give the demo a shot later on though, great that it includes the multiplayer - hopefully it'll be out by the time I finish work.

I've put about 17-18 hours into the demo, and have yet to see any kind of exact repeat within the levels. Some stuff (weapons, items) have different set spawn locations, but the actual enemies never follow any kind of spawning pattern.

 

[super metroid]

MORAN.

 

[YYZ]

18.5 hours, damn. This is one mode, 1.5 levels and that's it.

Better get other things in my life in order before the 18th then :lol

 

[Milpool]

the forest versus mode clip

http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/818215/turtle-rock-project/videos/Left4Dead_101408.07.html

one week!

Oh man, can't wait to play as a zombie.

 

[YYZ]

I watched that clip on IGN, looks interesting. Don't really like the visuals on the 360 though, so used to PC. Also the Witch behaved differently for some reason. It wasn't a one-hit KO.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Was hoping that the 360 demo would be up by now, maybe they want it synchronised with the PC demo release.

Just hope that its released before peak time hits and Virgin Media's traffic management kicks in otherwise its going to be an even longer wait

 

[Teknoman]

PC demo isnt open yet? Was hoping to start the download before I left.

 

[CajoleJuice]

Fair enough. I guess part of me is looking at this like Halo 3 or COD 4 multiplayer which is perhaps not the best way to view this title.

Like someone already said, just play the demo. I'll play with ya. We can play on Expert and relive that time we got totally slaughtered playing Halo 3.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

PC demo goes up at 3pm GMT apparently, gonna cling onto the hope that the 360 demo hits at the same time.

Seems splitscreen was removed from the demo to stop additional bug reports, and they'll add it back in retail.

 

[CajoleJuice]

And oh yeah, I was looking forward to downloading this now, so I could play it the minute i got home from work.

(360 version)

I hate you because you have me frothing at the mouth for this game and I have off of work today but there is no demo up.

Boo hoo. I have work while you don't. Wait, isn't your exam today.

 

[h0pper]

yes it is. That's why I'm off. Otherwise I'd be staring into an excel spreadsheet right now.

 

[Gowans]

God I'm itching to play this today.

Two of my friends have been playing and are in love, sick of them rubbing it in!

 

[CoilShot]

I already have the demo but my friend is still waiting on it. Is the 360 demo coming up today?

 

[ghst]

so now there are like, 10 servers on the 'openserverbrowser' list and i can't connect to a single one of them.

has the update fucked everyone, or just me?

 

[CajoleJuice]

*stares at excel spreadsheet*

*sighs*

I just checked, returned 600 servers.

Hmm I got 142 servers on the internet tab and 941 servers on the custom tab. Seems fine for me.

[Hypertrooper]

The Demo is up...

[AgentOtaku]

Zombies! duh! :lol :lol :lol

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Nothing on the UK marketplace...

I'll check again in 5 minutes, PC demo goes up at 3pm GMT, pretty sure the 360 demo will be the same time.

 

[Blackface]

I got 4 hours of sleep just to wake up and not be able to download the demo that Gaf said would be up at 5 am.

 

[Peronthious]

Nothing yet on 360 or PC, and the steam page is still screwy (refreshes when I click "Install Demo"). Fingers are crossed for soon...
