What boycott? Left 4 Dead 2 pre-orders twice the number for Left 4 Dead 1 - Lombardi |
Ó
Well, it looks like despite the 37,000 strong members, it did not do that much dent to the campaign for Left 4 Dead 2 as pre-orders are even reportedly twice that of the original game's. At least that's what a Valve's Doug Lombardi is saying.
Off to pre-order Left 4 Dead 2.
Talking to Eurogamer, he said of the pre-orders:
Our pre-orders are currently double what they were for Left 4 Dead 1 (Xbox 360 and PC) at this point in time away from launch. We're like 20 weeks out or something like that. We're seeing great enthusiasm from retailers, from EA, [and] the press called it multiplayer game of E3.
He did not give exact figures, but if this be true, it's probably that some of you've been playing for both sides of the team, huh? I kid, I kid. But really, Lombardi attributes this hostile reception of fans to the sequel to mere misunderstanding. He's clarified previously that:
I think there was a little bit of confusion that we created unintentionally, by announcing a sequel and not having the complete story ready: announcing it and not saying, there's still a lot of stuff being worked on for Left 4 Dead 1, and the mod tools will work with both games.
I think that, over time, folks will see what we're up to, and there's more of this story to be told in terms of what's to come for both games.
The supposed premature arrival of Left 4 Dead 2 is on November 17, 2009. The first iteration of the game franchise came out almost exactly a year ago from the second one's release date, November 18, 2008.

allow me to be un-pc for a moment without getting flagged but....l4d2 is every racists dream...
There was a story in L4D? I must have missed it, it just looked like a bunch of entirely disconnected "go from here to here" levels to me.
that made me smile
lol I was just pointing it out, I don't care what color they are I'm a zombie fan with the exception of Rob Zombie, he sucks lol.
I thought L4D was lacking. When I played it with a couple friends we beat it within a short time span ( A couple nights ). Then they released the DLC thing and we beat all that as well within a couple nights. After that we really had no interest in playing anymore. I don't see L4D2 being any better, not worth the $60-$70.
