Gamekings.tv, a Dutch gaming website, has posted a video of their experiences with L4D from WCG. It's entirely in Dutch, the only English words I could make out were "ninjas", "bullshit", "old school" and maybe a few others. If I had to guess, (and judging from a translation of the comments posted), they weren't very thrilled about the fast zombies at first. Not sure if they ever started liking it, but if you speak Dutch please let us know what's going on!

Besides the fun of trying to decipher what they're saying, it features a lot of new video. About 8/10 of the way through you can see the new Hunter pounce gore, with blood and guts flying everywhere (thank you TRS). Also, right after that, one of the normal infected is seen dressed in a cop outfit. The infection spread to everyone!

"bullshit",
"ninjas",
they have a nice english vocabulary.

Also yes, thank you TRS for the awesome gore. I also noticed the awesome head explosions in recent videos.

right at the start: "skeit afem mein Left 4 dead emg ejkt elk" lol

They are giving "volve" some nice publicity.

Altavista doesn't help with video interviews :(

Still, it can be fun with comments. I think this comment sums it all up:

FOCK all which Zombie purists! THIS looks forward to there!!!!

The new hunter pounce gore seemed to be a bit excessive, I think they should tone it down just a little bit. Looks quite silly otherwise.

Well they do say they were skeptic while the zombies run but they are now after playing such a tense heavy kickass game that they love it!!!

Also mentions a simutaniously release on XBOX360 AND PC before Summer 2008...

Mentions you have to play coop and want to do so help your friends out when laying down and that the experience with 4 coop only barely can be compared to HALO3 but L4D is so much better. They keep repeating the fact the game is so intense and that all critics they had are gone...

hmm, im not sure about the guts flying effects yet. I do want to see blood and guts flying about but it seems like the effects they're using atm look a bit artifficial compared to other effects in the game. I would like to see just blood and less bone, maybe use the tf2 blood effects but change the colour and add just a little guts and way less bone flying out...

In they beginning they say how "fucking intense" it is and that there are so many flashing lights, if I understand correctly. :P

a couple more lines I've been able to pick out are
"so fucking intense"
and "intense shit man"

Sandman summed it up nicely. Thats pretty much the same thing I understood aswell.

The only problem I have with the Hunter gore is that the blood is bright. It seems to stand out from all the other blood. I don't think it's too excessive, just the actual colors from it need to be tweaked.

I'd be interested in hearing what you displeased folks would want to see, and how you think it could be better.

Thanks for the help with translating Sandman.

It should be only blood on the wall... Like counter strike, but with better effect...

Asu aye!

And yeah they mentioned HALO3 coop being good but not as good as L4D.

And release of both versions at same time is new info to me.

The guy named skate said in the video that a big fat woman was puking blood on the other guy who played the game and that it looked great..
Did he really see a WOMAN BOOMER because that would be awesome!! Some variation in the looks of the infected would be really nice ^^

Agreed the Hunter stuff is a little ott (but then this is a game about zombies!!!)

Another thing I didn't realise is that the Zed's also stomp on you as well has bite when your on the ground ..... very nice touch.

Also loved it when all the Zed's came barreling up the stairs and all the player could do was backtrack like a fury! Nice!

i noticed that the hunter gore looks almost...primitive
the chunks seem to have a very low polygon count and look blocky and strangley pinkish-redish-white...
i dont really like it, should just be very small pieces of gore, if any, and lots of CSS style blood spraying out onto walls and floor.

this brings me to some ideas: the zombies should create a small pool of blood under them after death a la cod to increase the gore factor
hooray for zombies

remember how crappy the fire looked at first? much improved now and I'm sure this will be changed also
