      How did that game pan out? Last I heard the hype died down pretty fast, I didn‘t follow it further.

        Dead within 2 years. They also had the balance pretty fucked until about 6 months in. All in all, no one should expect much from the company who makes games “built from the ground up with paid DLC in mind.”

    I hope it’s not another Sony attempt at a live service game.

    Edit: lol, wtf Sony?

      They‘ve been so successful with singleplayer stuff but would somehow rather burn billions failing live services than sticking with them. They could‘ve put that money into several offline experiences and made at least SOME money but yeah, rather lose MOUNTAINS of money, I guess.

    You can’t be out of the game this long and think you’re going to make another left 4 dead. We saw that with back 4 blood and we will see it with this one.

    Not a huge fan of multiplayer games, but can be fun with friends.

    As for people who don’t like live service games, Sony has mentioned multiple times that the budget for live service games is completely separate from single player games. The issue was that they previously put their good single player studios to making these games, as long as they get proper third party or specialised studios for these and leave their first party studios for first party, I am happy.

    It feels like so many devs and studios have been trying to bring back the magic of that era but L4D was such a product of the times. Hard to imagine any similar games in that vein succeeding today.

      I don’t know about that. If Valve made Left 4 Dead 3 with some minor iterative improvements (better graphics, same gameplay, maybe a new mode) and no trash monetisation (B2P like the first two games), I think it would be very successful.

      I’d say Deep Rock Galactic has a lot of the same appeal, and thas doing pretty well. Though it also made the bold and controversial decision of actually innovating and creating something new, rather than sticking as close to the original as possible.
