i think there is something in left 4 dead they should add that would be awesome.in deathmatch(single player could work)the infected have a sort of knowledge if your doing bad.what would be freakier if they knew that you were alone.so instead of getting you they leave you to have your friends for dinner.this would let you know that they will get to you in a minute causing the impending doom thing to start.example-you and one friend are left he gets pulled into the shadows by a smoker.you look in the dark shrowded alley way and here your friend scream as a horde of infected rip hime to bits.then you see it slowly the infected walk towards you out f the shadow the only thing illuminating them is a fire by a car.you know your dead they know it to.so you stand there surrounded as they slowley lumber to you until letting out a roar and tearing you apart.this would be awesome.but only in the right cases

Sooo, your saying instead of running around trying to kill the first thing they see, they should target each person individually, and then completely change how they act when there is only one person left?

not all the time but in situations where theres no way the one player left is going to live such as the player is one hit from dieing low on ammo and out of med kits or pills.then th ai director is quoed to go into this whole mode in wich the infected mockingly wait for the moment to kill savoring the moment right before victory

Yes But it would kind of have to be a video, becuase No survors r just ganna let the swarm of zombies just surround them. And no 1 wants to be the last survivor and have the game automattically end for them with a video of them getting surrounded by a mob of zombies and eaten to death. Or atleast I wouldent, id just continue to fire my gun at the infected untill they have all dropped or they dropped me

yea but the point is you have to be in the right situation for the effect to trigger.otherwise they will just kill you but if your successl rateing is at like 2% it will trigger

So it would guarantee no possible chance of making an epic recovery?

But that 2 percent Can easily turn into 100 and u made it to the safe house.

im with DeMoNsXWiThInnX it would be much better to run towards the safe house. Now if it was like that in RE5 it would be cool however.

First of all, For christs sake PLEASE learn to use Spaces at the right places...fuck...

And second, a thing like that would like, only be albe to pull off if it turns into cinematic when they walk out from the alley and then when they roar you go back to normal and it would just be shit.

And after they kill all of you, they have to go eat some roadkill and then swim in a locked tube trying to find the exit, right? Oh and then they win 5,000 dollars.

Seriously, it wouldn't work out.

Well Human Zombie Bosses will be able to sort out the weak from the strong by watching and seeing who moves the slowest in the group.

I don't know who the fuck would get scared of a videogame, no matter what they add.

In the Survivlal/Horror genre i always immerse myself into the games and enjoy the aspect of "surviving" and overcoming the odds either by myself or with someone else IN the horror setting.

I cant really expect to get generally scared in a game besides the "oh shit!" factor followed by me trying to kill the "monster/zombie", and i think Left 4 Dead gives that feeling perfectally.

They already do, because the Infected Bosses can see you through walls (much like the Survivors) *at all time* with their Infected Vision™, except when you are not moving and your flashlight is out. That means, they can plan ahead very well and terrorize those that seperate from the team.

What you are saying is, make the game more cinematic, which is ok. But I think you should always have the chance to go out in style or pull off a total Rambo on them.

Dude, stop trying to act all super-human saying: "ME NO SCARED OF GAME, YOU GIRLY MAN."

We all know youhave gotten scared at least once before from a video game, and no matter what you say it's true.

I had some pretty fucking weird dreams on left 4 dead. there was one where me and this guy pretty much walked most of england and find a trainstation and hear the announcment that a train is coming, im nakerd and can barely see straight and we hear crying which obviously, so we go check but we didnt know about witches, the fucker starts going at me and we kill it but the trains coming and more cries are heard. so this guy helps me to the platform and witches are everywhere in the station and the trains screeching is just setting them all off they start going berserk, we make it on the train and i wake up to a bowl of soggy weetabix...

I'm not here to argue with you, but i have been playing horror games since i was 10 with Resident Evil, so i guess they don't scare me to the degree they seem too for you at my current age.

I have been playing Horror games since i was like 5, and some of the things still freak me out. You said nothing ever scared you, which is total bullshit.

My attempt to try and enplane myself to you have failed, you win.

Here, let me resort to your way of thinking, "I r scared of teh videogames, scary zombies that ain't realz and dark areaz just like yooz! I r girly man! U iz always right at knowing about me, a man you haz nevar meets.!"
