Left 4 Dead de-make

[AndyB]

Now, this is just fantastic.
Eric Ruth of PixelForce, have created a "de-make" of Valve's Left 4 Dead and it's in glorious 8-bit. It features all the campaigns from the original game, including 8-bit special infected.
And it has 2 player co-op to play through.

Now, before someone starts complaining, Valve is apparently aware of the project and finds the concept "hilarious."

Ruth reveals that he plans to release the full game as a free download in early January 2010 for PC.

Also, for those more interested, here's a little video of it's gameplay.

I find many things appealing, but those aren't for the here or now.
I think the game is interesting due to playing L4D for hours on end. And seeing it turned into an 8-bit wonder is amazing.
If you read into the description in the gameplay video, tells you alot more than I can.

Ok, now I understand it was meant to look like that, it does look quite addicting.

What does turning it into 8bit mean-making the download fast or something? Sorry, I have know idea

It is like Gang Garrison, a de made version of Team Fortress 2, but with L4D.

 

[Zex]

Meh.

Orig. better.

 

[Mimsie]

Well my comp won't load the vid, I usually don't like pixel games or whatever you call them. (too lazy to read the topic)

 

[Kanye Omari West]

I've played it.

It's difficult, the controls are shaky, and I'd prefer being with all 4 people then all alone when Boomers are shooting vomit at me

 

[AndyB]

Quoting limited to 5 levels deep

Obviously the original L4D is better.
Once again this is just a homage to the game, never trying to be better, just fun!

 

[Neko Yuki Pyrozanryu]

That looks Aweshum o:
I've never played L4D, but i would LOVE to play that c:

 

[Kyle]

I'd like to try it but it looks to easy for even Normal. The zombies don't even seem to run that fast like they do in the actual L4D.
