So... its left for dead, with rats instead of zombies

[Riftweaver]

that seems to be about what im understanding. yes?

[Antiwarus]

In a similar way yes, although compared to l4d, this has a big background and a proper story

Why not just mod l4d?

Different mechanics and a different focus on the game I guess

While the games certainly share similarities, there are some fundamental differences. Such as how each hero has personal rules for what types of weapons they can choose, our loot and levelling systems as well as the obvious difference of having a race of enemies that aren't Zombies.

One of my favourite details with the Skaven is that when you approach them and they don't outnumber you, they'll actually cower away instead of attacking you. That's because the Skaven are a cowardly race, rather than a brain-dead one :)

We'll be announcing more details on specific gameplay in the coming months, so stay tuned for that!

Badass. Would you please shut up already and take my money? I'm too lazy to link a Fry picture but just take my money, all of it right now.

So long as there's a piper of sorts to lead the rats in to charge now and again it should be good.

I don't think that engine would work for this game...

Personally glad it isn't on the source engine. L4d made zombies so boring, with how they clip into each other. The weapons didn't really feel like they made an impact, but the videos for this game show the skaven with personality and interesting reactive ai and weapons that have weight to them.

This is a good point. Source hasn't been legit updated in years. Valve will need to overhaul and release a completely new Source, not just upgrading the existing one for things like CSGO and TF2.
Lets not forget though, L4D was a really awesome game in its time, and i'm sure it's influenced a ton of creative people who used the idea as a springboard to start making cooler and cooler things with a better choice of engine for the times.

A little premature to ask but are there any plans to expand on the End Times storyline with the other races? There's a lot of plot to work with after all:

http://warhammerfb.wikia.com/wiki/The_End_Times

It'd be nice to see the limelight fall on races like the Lizardmen, Undead, Tomb Kings or the elves for a change, instead of always focusing on the humans in Warhammer games, I mean geez, who even likes the Empire anyways? Dark Elves are way more fun!
