Left 4 Dead: Delayed 2 November 20

by Randy Nelson { Aug 25th 2008 at 2:30PM }

Valve's four-player fix of zippy-fast zombie action has been pushed back a bit, but thankfully not 28 days later; just 16. Left 4 Dead had been slated to hit PC and Xbox 360 on November 4, but its evil will instead take up residence on your platform of choice November 20. The date is significant in that it's the 10th anniversary of another Valve game you may have heard about – the original Half-Life.

If you just can't stand a first week of November devoid of something new to play, fear not. Might we suggest: Fallout 3 (Oct. 28) or a little game called Gears of War 2 (Nov. 7).

More breathing room between new releases. Good, I say!

A week alone with Mirror's Edge before the CoOp Zombie Storm. I can deal with that.

Also, Mirror's Edge; Might I suggest it?

Marty @ Aug 25th 2008 3:05PM

Sure you can - if it survives all the hype, and actually turns out to be a good game.

Vcize @ Aug 25th 2008 2:37PM

Honestly I wish it were delayed longer. Waaaaay too much to play this Fall already.

Mr.ESC @ Aug 25th 2008 2:38PM

More time to finish Oblivion,play Gears 2 and Force Unleashed.

Jakka(Naked Peach Brigade) @ Aug 25th 2008 2:42PM

Oh well, I can just play TF2 until then.

Dustin @ Aug 25th 2008 2:48PM

My birthday is Nov 28, so at least I'll get some of these games for free... but hot damn, I'll be busy in November! I'm still trying to decide whether to play L4D on 360 or PC, though... :( I hope there's a PC demo. Any word on that?
And I plan on completely just going comatose and playing Fallout 3 all winter.

Tom18230 @ Aug 25th 2008 2:49PM

My birthday is november 21st, lucky me :P .

A nuclear winter you say? =D

capt_carl @ Aug 25th 2008 2:54PM

Valve delaying a game? Unheard of!

Obie @ Aug 25th 2008 6:06PM

I know, but when they do it's always for the better.
I will play the crap outta Gears 2 before this one anyways. It's gonna be a Locust stompin', Zombie mowin' Thanksgiving! :)

Blazur @ Aug 25th 2008 2:58PM

Nov. is gonna be a crazy month of gaming. I'm already planning on this, GTA IV on PC, Dead Space, Force Unleashed, and Spore still.

theturtle363 @ Aug 25th 2008 3:27PM

i wonder if the GTA IV pc release will include the DLC that's supposed to come for 360

Dirty @ Aug 25th 2008 2:58PM

breathing room is right. I cant imagine anyone thinking sony has a better holiday lineup. Resistance was alright but gears is just better IMO. Little Big Planet should do well for them but Im not sure if its going to be my kinda game. I really feel like I am missing something from Sony's line up or is it just that there isn't much coming out. When is fat princess... am I just rambling?

Bring on the fanboy hate.

Kodros @ Aug 25th 2008 4:27PM

Socom, Wipeout HD, Motorstorm 2, Naruto, and Valkyria Chronicles. Think Fat Princess is early next year.

BananaBoat @ Aug 25th 2008 3:08PM

I hope I can find time to play it. That's cutting it a little bit close to finals time...and there are like ten other games that come out in that general time frame.

Can't wait...game has to last me till Dead Rising 2. I need mah zombie fix dammit!

Arturo @ Aug 25th 2008 3:09PM

phew, only 16 days

Jacksons @ Aug 25th 2008 3:17PM

That's fine with me, I wasn't planning on picking it up right off the bat anyway. My plate is already full for the next few months. Actually, I traded my plate for a bucket and that's full too.

McWeen @ Aug 25th 2008 3:29PM

Brains...

Neebs @ Aug 25th 2008 3:35PM

More games need to be delayed.

colinbell @ Aug 25th 2008 3:52PM

Absolutely hilarious how xbots are now pretending that a game being delayed is good after all the sarky comments whenever a PS3 game got delayed. Well, you will love Alan Wake and Splinter Cell 5, if they ever get released

Vcize @ Aug 25th 2008 4:55PM

When you have 2 years of incredible games to play there's no way to keep up.

Maybe one day, you'll get your mouth off Sony's penis for long enough to join the multi-console party and be showered in more games than you know what to do with like the rest of us, rather than having to so hotly anticipate games that are 6+ months off.
