Today we’re going to be reacting to back 4 blood proving valves for left 4 dead, which was suggested by a guy on our discussion board who is PDC Wolf, who I talked to you about on the discussion board. You know what title means nothing to me? I would call you a hero and hero PDC wolf is a word I have never used, not once on the show, I have never used it, never heard it, never heard you say it, PDC wolf I don’t know, I mean yes. you’re in the hall of heroes, thanks for the blood proof, Valve with left 4 dead is that a person? Valve is a company but according to yes it’s a game and we actually saw left 4 dead when our good friend uh uh Russian badger oh yeah I’m playing left 4 dead remember I said Yoshi gets beat up sometimes Yeah, there you go Okay, okay, let’s Hey Dj press play again, look here Look at this, we have a prototype At this point, keep in mind that the environment is all big grey boxes, not pretty at all The infected are still kind of cheesy terrorist zombies I mean, this has been fun, so now we’re like… This is very exciting for us left 4 dead fans, of course, you guys are known for all the wonderful work you’ve done with left 4 dead, and now you’re carrying on the tradition in this new zombie co-op shooter. We want to do something bigger and more.
Okay, here we go. This is back 4 blood’s gameplay showcase. It’s not me, you’re all lost. Oh, someone’s close to something. Oh, no, I’ve noticed a lot of glitches. Okay, glitches. Okay, glitches. I mean, you see characters being sprayed with acid.
Yeah, I know, I’m watching. You know, and then zombies running upstairs, running downstairs, and I remember when you were fighting Horizon confrontation, they usually come at you, then run up, run down, I think, and then the zombie is like, wait, no, but his brain, oh, it’s okay guys, I forgot my phone, oh, he says I want to play with you guys, what is this, they’re all blocking the doorway or something? Oh, they can’t get through, oh shit Okay, that’s cool, that’s good Yeah, that’s kind of cool Wait, wait, blah blah blah I don’t get it, he’s moving, oh, he’s not even moving his legs No, he’s not moving, what is it, get in, get in the thing, get in the door Now the guy’s going to defend Oh, my fucking God, that’s humiliating, scary I mean what is this, this looks like crap The package is in there, it looks good, but the center of it is… … It’s gold, but it’s like gold foil, it’s got.
.. … There’s…
… Well, you’re not giving gold… ..
. It’s like imagining you’re seeing fool’s gold but it’s not fool’s gold, it looks like it’s just a golden rapper and when you turn it on someone does a sloppy, very sloppy, they imagine why it has to be because it’s a nerd no, no, no, I wouldn’t say it’s a solid good fiber diet no, it’s not a solid turd a solid turret has integrity It’s just loose and still on this to our poop experts out there what is fiverr doing let’s talk about the pool well that’s oh come on oh no oh play left 4 dead there you go because killing zombies we spent a lot of time making their death animations more dramatic than a simple rag doll we had a professional stuntman on a motion capture stage performing about 100 different death animations, hitting from different weapons and different directions, like from the front Wow, the back, and then combining those single-cup animations with physics-driven animations Yeah, the result was a really cinematic experience where the zombie would stumble a few steps and then slide down the wall and then fall, like, it was the best of both worlds Yeah, very good stuff Wow, stupid, it was a horrible game okay, that’s left 4 dead, yeah, it’s a good stumble, yeah, horrible horrible, oh my god, but look, look at this look at this, like in left 4 dead, as a major character, there’s a huge energy coming back from the truth and it takes a lot of energy to make their movements believable, the normal horde stumbling and coughing vomiting, fighting with each other, leaning against walls, sitting on the ground, lying on the ground as part of their wandering behavior, and when they see a survivor, they become angry and sprint with full force, leaning together.
