There won't be a Left 4 Dead 3

MSN news 2023/11/24 - Valve giving up being a developer is the greatest tragedy in video games

[potato]

they should've named it something else cause the only reason it got cancelled is cause of the 3

[Knee]

more like everyone sat around wishing they did game development

[HikariLight]

Valve saw that it was more profitable to run the store than to develop games.
While they do work on games, it is at the dev teams own pace, which is why it takes so long for new content.

Was there ever any development on it at all? This is the first I'm hearing of a Left for Dead 3 beyond fan wishes. Can it really be cancelled if it never started development to begin with?

I don't think there ever was a L2D3, I bet someone released a video of a modded L4D2 and claimed it was leaked footage of a third game.

You shouldn't assume Valve is making a game until they release it.

Must be making way for another installment exclusive to inconvenient, ephemeral hardware.

The industry needs more Half-Life: Alyx, aka games that have more Twitch viewers than actual players.

Well Developoing for VR is a new and experimental field where all the tricks haven't been found and thusly probably more interesting/stimulating to work on.

Also I wouldn't call VR 'experimental at this point. Its quite solidly established now.

VR is a solid dead experiment, while it works in padded rooms for extremely short several minute sessions it is not game friendly by any means for extended play. it would of been cool to see CSGO 2 implement some VR combat, considering its valve made, and valve sells VR....


CSGO 2 VR should be valves next project or side project to boost VR popularity. its unfortunate that VR is so under whelming an has such a small user group, i have my VR helm and its not even worth the time putting it on, its like a over priced statue next to my pc looks kinda futuristic headbust but yeah.... not a very desirable thing to use when you have one. Due to the poor development and lack of development into vr games.

I dunno. I've seen plenty of people, of varying ages that enjoy and play well with it.
And that you would wabnt a VR mod for CSGO... shows you don't have much understanding of game design. I mean there's technically nothing stopping you fropm playing ANY fps game with a VR headset and controls. Just need to do some control tweaking.

The thing is to make the best uuse of vr you need to design around VR from the griound up. That's basically what all the good VR games have in common, and something we're steadily seeing more and more of which is gradually pushing the sales of more and more VR units.

Really the only thing left is to bring the costs down a bit.

I mean YMMV but unlike its previous iterations this VR trends seems to have actually stuck the landing.

I picked it up in the "cheap" Humble Bundle and hopefully I'll enjoy it single player.

It's problem was that Valve had already kinda nailed the golden zone with that particular genre so its very hard to do anything there that allows you to stand out in a manner that's positive.

Though there ghave been more than a couple that have managed.

[76561199559798421]

what was kinda eh about back 4 blood, and i was a L4D and L4D 2 fan and even had friends buy B4B was that it turned out to just be a copy of L4D just a remasted for the most part.

it felt to must like what we have already seen, i did have fun playing it with friends but none of us got into the PVP aspect of B4B like L4D had

i also have basicly given up trying to manually convert FPS games into VR subsets, it got me supersick once trying to play a few FPS games in VR when the camera turns without head tracking you will wanna curl up into a ball and cry.


vr has solid concepts one of the biggest concepts that VR in 2019 lacked was Wifi Concept, trying to play games with cables dangling off your body is just crazy stupid. specially since you can't see anything and could get tangled up in them.
