If you’ve ever played commentary mode, this text will ring a bell:
“… In these cases, simply press your use key again to stop the commentary. Please let me know what you think after you have had a chance to play. I can be reached at gaben@valvesoftware.com, and my favorite class is the spy. Thanks, and have fun!”
Most of us have probably heard of those online translators, but fewer still know how horrible they can be at conveying the right message. While I was digging through the TF2 GCFs I had the idea of translating a few localized phrases to English using Google Translate. The result…
“…In this case, to use komenteori will stop pressing the key again. I’d appreciate comments on play after Lee Han. My e-mail address, and my favorite class gaben@valvesoftware.com is the mole. Thank you. Enjoy the adventure!”
Kind of sounds like something out of a foreign spam mail. Read on, there’s a ton of these. Continue reading »
A small reminder – the source mod known as Neotokyo will be released in soon. A week ago the developers announced that the mod is essentially done, however they “just got a few things to tidy up”.
For those of you that haven’t heard of this total conversion mod, please follow through this link for a rather atmospheric trailer. Neotokyo, which has been in development for a few years, will be available free of charge. After viewing the trailer, you probably won’t have any reasons not to try it out when it gets released.
Some more L4D2 footage surfaced on the web a couple of days ago. It’s just composed of a ton of small clips. If you ask me the frequent cuts get annoying, but at least it’s something.
I for one still don’t think this will be worth 50$.
So Rock, Paper, Shotgun seems to have scored an exclusive look at our newly-revealed zombie sequel. The list of new things is quite staggering, even though it’s just a glance at the full game. Included in the new things:
More connection between each campaign, i.e. there will be a way to “see how the events of one lead to the beginning of the next.”
New guns- basically like the old guns, but revamped.
New survivors- their names are Coach, Rochelle, Ellis, and Nick. Look at the article for more details.
New special infected- that one-armed guy is called the Charger. Apparently, he slams in a straight line toward you, knocking you aside like a bowling ball knocks over pins. Also, Witches will now roam the map, walking in a daze until you accidentally bumb into one (or she bumbs into you).
Re-worked crescendos- to prevent players from camping until the crescendo ends, you now will have to fight your way to another location before the hordes stop.
Gauntlets, where the survivors will have to push across a narrow area covered in zombies (but without any zombies attacking from behind).
A new, smarter director, who will not only be better at item placement and horde timing, but will be able to alter the map to make things easier or harder for the players.
Incendiary bullets that set anything you shoot on fire.
New Southern US setting including daylight maps where you don’t always need your flashlight.
Most of you who’ve been keeping tabs on E3 probably already know about Valve’s next project: Left 4 Dead 2. In the teaser we can see a new mechanic: melee weapons such as chainsaws, frying pans, axes and bats. The zombies also don’t seem to care as much about pieces of themselves missing, and we can also take note of the first appearance of the tank-like pimphand zombie at the end of the video. The crew however has changed, everything seemingly taking place in Louisiana.
