Three more Left 4 Dead interviews are available from the recent EA Studio Showcase in London. GameSpot has posted a video interview with writer Chet Faliszek, VideoGamer.com has another interview with Chet, and CVG has an interview with Doug Lombardi. Doug elaborates on where Valve sees the multiplayer arena heading:
With L4D, we want to give you something that’s not just totally mindless to play because you and your buddies have to work together. We call it co-op for lack of a better term, but I think you’re going to see a lot of multiplayer games go in this direction.
We’ve already seen games like World of Warcraft and the MMO scene doing this – you have parties, you stick together, you work together, and obviously it’s really popular, so why shouldn’t action games be going in that direction as well?
Nothing new is mentioned, but it might help curb your hunger for L4D for a little while. The video interview has some very brief clips from the mysteriously removed trailer that was posted on GameTrailers.com a while back. This is the only video available from the entire event, which is disappointing since press were allowed to take all the pictures and film they wanted to. Press, you sadden us. Remember that you can check out all previously released footage in our videos section, all screenshots in the screenshots section, and high resolution wallpapers in the wallpapers section.
