The scoop comes from a tiny blurb in latest issue of OPM.

Left 4 Dead, by the way, is a co-project between Valve and Turtle Rock Studios, creators of the Counter-Strike and Half-Life games. The game has plenty of potential and could mark an important point in the evolution of the co-op play, as well the multiplayer genre in general; or so we hope.

Can't wait for this one!

As always there are mixed rumours whether L4D will be heading to the PS3 or not. Because VaLVe are taking the usual steps and steering clear of porting this to the PS3.

Hopefully EAUK will take care of the port as they did with the Orange Box.

I myself cannot wait for this game and would love to see a PS3 version hit retail shelves, anytime soon.

“Zero chance” of Left 4 Dead PS3 this year

Valve’s Doug Lombardi has said those hoping for a PS3 version of Left 4 Dead this year can go on wishing: it’s not happening.

“There’s zero chance of it happening this year,” he told CVG. “It’s something that’s being talked about right now as the game is gaining popularity and looking like it’s going to be a hit.”

“Hit” is about right. Pre-orders are well up, with or without a PS3 version.
