1UP Show meets L4D, Lost Boss Concept - 11/15/08

The 1UP Show played all of what L4D Xbox 360 has to offer and came back with footage from every one of the campaigns, creating a great 10:42 video feature. David Ellis, Ryan O'Donnell, Tina Sanchez and Thierry Nguyen discuss their impressions of Left 4 Dead including the 360 controls, quick turn, the Take a Break feature, the voice system, music, graffiti, achievements for actually doing good in the game, how easy the bots make things, a bunch on Versus mode and future content. Watch it below or go their website and download it.

At 3:55 take a look at what we believe to be Death Toll footage, a Witch in a graveyard and a church in the background. Super awesome:

The impressions were overwhelmingly positive from people that have had the chance to experience the whole game. You might remember that the 1UP Show featured the first-ever L4D footage on April 20, 2007 and we're glad they still have positive things to say about it!

Randdalf was searching within the game's .vpk files under materials/vgui and found concept arts of every boss infected in the game, including some never seen before which are pictured below. The first is the familiar Witch.

The second is a mysterious boss called the 'Screamer'.

Omega_K2 found three cvars that could be related to the Screamer:

z_deafen_radius_one : 100 : , "sv", "cheat" :
z_deafen_radius_three : 200 : , "sv", "cheat" :
z_deafen_radius_two : 150 : , "sv", "cheat" :

Again we have no idea if this was a scrapped or not yet implemented boss, but maybe we'll get more information in the developer commentaries.

Finally, Markus Bernhardt has posted L4D-inspired Southpark wallpapers which are pretty neat, thanks Markus!
