Looks like Back 4 Blood has been Left 4 Dead

[JOHN V. RAMBO]

This is kind of funny , the dev has abandon the game allready I am just wondering if the game is going to get shutdown complete because is a live service game.
Good thing L4D was never a live service or else L4D would not survive this long.

This is the announcement

We don't know. We don't have that title. Back 4 Blood installs Denuvo on your system. We don't want Denuvo. Maybe when Denuvo is removed, we become more interested?


This is what the website reads:

"Greetings, Cleaners!

What an amazing year 2022 was for us. First off, we wanted to thank all of you for making Back 4 Blood what it is today. With three expansions – Tunnels of Terror, Children of the Worm, and River of Blood – we’ve traveled on a fantastic adventure together beyond the walls of Fort Hope. This phase of our war against the Ridden now comes to a close.

Turtle Rock Studios is actually pretty small for a studio making AAA games. We don’t have quite enough folks to continue working on Back 4 Blood content while we spin up another game – yes, another game! Given this, it’s time for us to put our heads down, get back in the lab, and get to work on the next big thing.

Intrepid Cleaners, this is not a goodbye.

Back 4 Blood will continue to operate, of course. In fact, Back 4 Blood is currently offered on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers and available as part of Xbox Game Pass. You’ll also still find us hanging out in the subreddit and on Discord, as well as our official Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and website because we love interacting with you and talking about our games.

While we may be a bit quieter in the short-term, we promise that we’ll be Back, bigger, bolder and better than ever!

With much love and gratitude,
Turtle Rock Studios"

To be honest when the game was in Beta , I played it for 2 h and uninstall the game.
And I Know the game was a fail if they can't keep some one with over 3000h in L4D 2 to play the game.

They don't work on new content for that game-title anymore. But I don't see them saying anything about the game to stop working.

"Back 4 Blood will continue to operate, of course."
No worries. The game-title will continue to function, by the looks of it.

It will operate but it won't take long befor the hole game dies in my opinion.

bc devs were focused on graphics rather than on AI and coding.

I give it about a year before the servers are pulled and the game is shut down completely. Back 4 Blood does not allow community mods so it does not have a chance to flourish like Left 4 Dead 2 did. Nor does Warner Bros. show any signs of caring beyond making money.

Maybe 1 year or 2 befor the game ends to be honest.I have notice a lot of live service games are going to get closed.

It was a very ambitious game for the small studio that it is, Valve could buy Turtle Rock Studios and continue the development of that game because it has a lot of potential.

all you are talking like l4d2 it's so "perfect", infected AI is so dumb in this game too.

like why they cant attack together instead of solo attacking and feeding? Besides sometimes they don't even know how to hit their shot ex: hunter jumps in wrong direction.

and lets don't forget tank AI is bad and just feeding,

[dildobong]

i played back 4 blood for about an hour or two when it came out and never touched it again, it just didn't click with me which is a shame. i'd happily play l4d2 over and over lol

[Demo]

That’s cool and all but what does that have to do with L4D2?

well they did claim that B4B was a spiritual succesor to L4D 2 how can that be when back for blood is slowing dying.

l4d2 is a perfect game that received years of live service from the developers, and was never released at a high AAA price or too early after the first title. It's a much different game from l4d1 in every way imaginable, and i could play the same campaign maps for another 10 years even without mods and enjoy the nice folks in versus without stacking a premade lobby every single time.
