Left 4 Dead Looking Like An Xbox 360 Exclusive

By way of CVG, we learn from Xbox Official Magazine (salute) that the forthcoming online zombie-romp Left 4 Dead looks like a console exclusive to 360, splattering the hopes and dreams of PS3 action-horror fans all over the wall:

Apparently, this is the first time the Xbox 360 version has been shown to the press, which is being developed between Valve, PC dev Turtle Rock and newcomer Certain Affinity - who was responsible for the Halo 2 Blastacular map pack....
Unfortunately for PS3 owners, it looks like the multiplayer shooter's sticking to Microsoft platforms for the time being. "The PC and 360 versions of Left 4 Dead will ship simultaneously, but there will be no PS3 edition," says OXM (that's the US one).

Quelle dommage. Looks like the 360 continues to have the zombie genre wrapped up, between this and Dead Rising. L4D features an interesting online PvP system of 4-8 players in which you change sides when bitten (sounds a bit like Kojima's voiced idea for an MMO). And you know it'll be polished since Valve just acquired the developer â€“ the last time that happened, we got Portal.

I can almost guarantee you that with Valve behind this game it's automatically infinitely better than the almost completely broken Dead Rising.

This is one of my most anticipated titles of the year.

I hadn't paid much attention to this title, but after reading this post, I'm stoked. I have to agree with Kevin- Dead Rising was quite broken, and far less fun than I had hoped. Great premise, but awful controls and a poor game save scheme really ruined it for me. Let's hope L4D can do better (and I'm pretty sure Valve will make sure of this)!

If this was on the Wii and weighed down by its controller, they could call it Deft for Lead.

Man, this scared me for a sec. I thought it meant it wasn't even coming to PC.

Suffice to say, Dead Rising WAS broke... but once you found out how to get past all that, it was actually quite a fun game. Just my opinion that is.
