    I'm actually really looking forward to this, been looking for a proper Zombie Survival game for a while now. (One that's somewhat realistic)

    I really like that there are less guns in the game, because lets be honest, who's afraid of a zombie when you have a AK47?

    It couldn't, actually. But that's another discussion entirely.

    I will be getting this game, but it will be for console as that's what all my other friends will be playing it on.

    If the multiplayer is worth it I will go for it. The single player zombie genre has been burned out for me.

    This game doesnt exactly seem "realistic" to me. It really seems like a massive L4D, kinda how it should have been. I will most likely play this, but probably on console as well. And for the same reason as Secksy.

    Considering the sheer quantity of added variables and style change, I'd say this is a very very stark contrast to L4D2, gameplay and realism wise. It's easier to find differences rather than similarities!

    I've always felt this as well (Considering a lot of the campaigns revolved around hauling ass lest you be completely engulfed by a swarm and miss being saved) But I felt it added to the rush at least.

    Left 4 Dead was never about exploration. It has always been a team based game, focusing 100% on multiplayer.

    Searching for witches was still fun, I must admit.
    with everyone using a melee weapon. Ahhaha, good times.

    The only problem I see with it is

    a: the devs seem to like using dust effects and bloom to make things look more 'realistic'.

    and

    b: because they started development so long ago the entire game looks dated.
