It has been confirmed that a demo of Left 4 Dead will be coming to Xbox 360 and PC, although developer Valve’s co-founder Gabe Newell did not confirm whether or not the demos will be released before the game hits stores on November 21st.
The demo will feature both single-player and online cooperative play and will contain the first part of one of the campaigns. “Will probably be Hospital, but I’m not sure”, Newell told VideoGamer.
Left 4 Dead sets out to do for co-op gaming what Counter-Strike did for team combat. It’s an ambitious survival horror game that runs on the Source engine. In the game four armed survivors of a world overrun with zombies must fight their way out to escape an outbreak.
Designed for co-op play, the four players must work together to finish each stage of the game, lending each other artillery support, sharing ammo and rescuing each other when zombies are on top of them. In addition to the standard four players as humans, another four players can be amongst the masses of assaulting zombies, seeking to take down the other players. Zombie players might even find themselves become one of the four mutant “boss” zombies, who have unique powers that can be used to devastate, injure, tie up, mark and track, confuse, or even humiliate the gun-toting human survivors.
