Tried single player, and tried multi player. I didn't get quite so mangled on the single player, as the AI teammates actually helped when stuff got bad. But yeesh, those zombies are lightning fast.

edit: L4D kinda makes me think of the second Resident Evil film.

Not quite for me, reminds me of 28 days later, expect I'm the British actors and I totally rock with the shot gun..

BTW, if you were using the Uzi, you picked the wrong weapon for stage1

The real trick is to let them get really close and just kill 2-3 with a single shot. If you get 4 or 5, use knock back and get them all with a single shot.

This had me really thinking of machinima, personally.

Think about it. Dark scary place like a school at 1 A.M.... the four people are walking around cautiously, and then zombies start flooding out from every classroom.

I don't know, just thought it had the "horror movie" tone the team was going for.

It's not scary to me at all, which is why I was thinking thriller like 28-days later. More "oh sh...run!!!" than "AAAAAAH WTF@!!"

I'm still uncertain about this game, as it's being developed by Turtle Rock who have a history of terrible games. On the other hand, since Turtle Rock was recently bought by Valve, I wonder if that might push them in the right direction...

Although the concept of cooperative zombie swarm survival could be fun.

Edit: I was mistaken, seems the demo was recently released to the public and the preorder period ended.

Either way, I'm not preordering. So until they release the demo to the general public, I'm not even considering it.

The demo has been public for a day or two now.

Its not being developed exclusively by Turtle Rock, as you said since they are owned by valve now everyone there has a big say in the game and everyone pitches in to work on it.
It's really well designed and thought out like the rest of Valves games.

Alright, downloading it now.

My above mentioned concern about Turtle Rock still stands.
