Left 4 Dead 2 - Gabe Newell Interview (L4D1/L4D2)

[mt2oo8secondary]

Lol xbox gameplay..

[Screamer963]

He said " Its not like the left 4 dead 2 team want to take another year and build left 4 dead 3, their reaction out of this game is to say i need to spend 2 to 3 years trying to tackle this big harly techology problem."

[Dusty9261]

cant wait what he says about lfd3

[candycao7rocks]

@Dusty9261 steam cant count to 3.

[pgf95]

Was Boomer inspired in Gabe?

[Travianero94]

@pgf95 boomer and the heavy

[pgf95]

@Travianero94 lol for real? hahah

lmao dude,your profile pic haha

[godamnyouall]

Gabe Newell is one of the most awsome ppl in gaming industry. Gabe, your the man!

[buzzhorn1]

Gabe don't listen to all those jerks out there I think your awesome.

[BigbadProduction]

Thumbs up if you saw that Gabe and the boomer had the same face in game :D

[plikminlol]

i guess you're not working on (cough) episode3

[TECKNADEFILMGUIDEN]

@plikminlol no it think they are gonna show it up because valve said they had something to show up at gamescom 2011 it is coming in august so we have to wait and see

[WeEatBrainz]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUU

[seargentermy]

gabe is fat! i just delayed episode 3 for another year !!!!!!! XD

[Centrino085]

@seargentermy for anither eternity!!!

[Centrino085]

@seargentermy for another eternity!!!!

[TECKNADEFILMGUIDEN]

@seargentermy ur retarded they are working with hl episode 3 and may realese a teaser at gamescom 2011 in august. and have patience they working with other enteraining games. and hes fat because he has sitted in his office working with his community without taking a break!. hating because he says ps3 is a waste of everybodys time? he said that 2007 because it takes months to port a game from pc to ps3 while it takes some days to port it to xbox 360 and its a waste off time

[warchife6]

I hope Gabe some how surprise us with Half Life. Maybe is gonna be a huge surprise!

[1985woooman]

Why episode 3 or half life 3 is here, 4 reasons, left 4 dead, teamfortress 2, left 4 dead 2, and hopefully going to be good portal 2. God damnit valve, GET YOUR ASS WORKING ON HALF LIFE. If you refuse to work on half life, stop making stupid teamfortress 2 hats and new crafting creations and work on counter strike source 2 or something, jesus, do you care a bit about us css players, FUCK TF2, FUCK L4D, I WANT HALF LIFE AND CS

[mrsandman500]

gabe newell :D he is a god and shall be worshiped as so

[Duke1nce]

I wanna FUCK Gabe

[ArchTV]

1:04 I love how he completely avoided talking about Episode 3.

[MrBoBoTom]

The gaming media is constatly attmpting to block out the pc.

[u7y8u7y8]

you know, when he said "sports game," i thought, they should have some retarded scientist make a zombie plaque just so we could have a sport with killing zombies

[4illegalalien]

I would love to play with Gabe Newell one day.

[cinemalego]

that gabe's a bloody spy!

[VenomFangTV]

L4D3 would ultimatley ruin the entire series, it would just become another boringly consistant game series with nothing new apart from maybe characters & maps (which you can download from their external websites).

[Stefantjj911]

@VenomFangTV maby new story and zombies

[Yenaboi]

@VenomFangTV

Maybe if they make a new one.. it could be one with custom characters :U

[267sonia]

cool

[miamiboy333333]

VALVE IS THE BEST, MAKE AN L4D3!!

[JustyRomano]

@miamiboy333333 Make A Left4dead3, not an.

[u7y8u7y8]

@miamiboy333333

what, so the government could censor it again?

I think that gabe should write up a contract before they start making the game and have it in REALLY scribbly writing so it would look like "fluffy bunny adventures" but it would actually be "left 4 dead 3"

sign a contract and theres no way out ;D

[Tman545380]

tf2 is the most updated game

[plikminlol]

@Tman545380 tf2 is great but they need to finish episode 3!

[Tman545380]

@plikminlol yeah i wish they would too but everything takes time and when (if) it comes out i hope the story and everything will be cool especially now that they released portal 2 we see that its more realistic and so that will probably be too

[tenjiw5]

lol in one day its the one year aniversarry of l4d2 :D

[serealkiller4]

VALVe are my favorite game developers ever!

[ardeesonic]

"Contains Content From: EA Arts Japan"

wat

[majmop]

THESE games and THIS guy (gabe newelll...fat genius bastard) is why valve is continuously reinventing the video game genre

[punchyou3]

why is the TANK music playing when Gabe talks? Bill: "GAAAAAAABE!"

[SirVerbose]

@punchyou3 You'd think that the boomer theme would be playing.

[MangRay40]

love L4d and l4d2.

Have all the current updates for them.

[Plecter]

Boycotters are so self-contradictory. Same thing with people boycotting mw2, bought it just as much.

Valve is awesome! Gabe newell go! :D

[idiot1131]

Make a Left4Dead xbox 360 Player Pack!!

[WindedNumber1]

@idiot1131

Gabe's answer: "Nope".

Even if it would be made, microsoft would insist it to cost atleas 10 dollars. Xbox sux

[LightWeaponsGuy]

i always feel like,That gabe watching me

[GrandLegacy195]

I like how almost all of the people who test the games are really bad at it

[ManOfTheModOfG]

@GrandLegacy195 They probably just do that to show off when they record games, so they aren't looking around and moving 24/7

[OMGitsJelle]

i think its better not to make a l4d3 yet because you have all this cool stuff from l4d1 and thats not even in l4d2 so why make a new one if you can just as easely make a dlc with cool stuff from both games? i think valve knows exectly what there doing and there doing it good.

[MrTmontona]

gaben :)

[burnedice98]

C people can make a difrence if u go to a game design collage usually by 2021 there r going to be 3d games

[Dragoru]

Go to hell Gabe. I thought you were going to keep Valve pure....but you really did rear end L4D1 for the last time. I'm done with this...

[Toylover4eva]

is l4d3 comeing out

[spongebobeditsrule12]

@Toylover4eva probably not but we all hope

[KharonxD]

ze coach is Gabe Newell !

[sipito100]

why are the names charger 2 and charger 3

[sonofarooshooter]

theyre all playin g on xbox360 but PC is just so much better

[MrTmontona]

@sonofarooshooter the only diffents is that on pc u can used the console cheats

[JokerMan603]

I love Valve. DLC should always be free :D

[royaltyrose]

He may over weight but dammit his company makes AMAZING games.

[fistopin72994]

1:08 even Gabe thinks about what happened to shepherd

[brwnipoints]

Gabes right, l4d1 is a beta compared to l4d2. i love the old characters but there was never a difficult map. you literally faught corner to corner. there we so little guns as well. i'm a steam player and i'm a l4d series player for life. LONG LIVE KILLING ZOMBIES WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

[nickholdinho]

My last name is newell as well lol. And nick is my first

[lennonzb654]

I want free dlc :( Microsoft is always trying to screw us over.

[SolidscoreX]

@lennonzb654 On PC, the DLC IS FREE

[generalsamfisher]

Who ever is the guy who is playing at the end of the video, he's a douche causes he doesn't play as a team. :[

[Gothicfun104]

After buying L4D1 I feel i paid for BETA... Thx Gabe.

[themaster0fclimax]

@Gothicfun104

did you not enjoy L4D?

[Gothicfun104]

@themaster0fclimax I do but they should update L4D1 like they do with TF2

[themaster0fclimax]

@Gothicfun104

they have made a bunch of fixes and great details and a new mode and they have made a campain and a new one is comming out in about a month so i dont think you should complain.

[murdoc995]

L4D3 My Characters:

An uninfected CEDA agent whose mad that he and his team were short-handed during the initial outbreak.

Nicks wife Maria, a salsy, bitchy and crass woman. Wishes her ex-husband would pop up, zombie or not.

Chicago Ted(read the saferoom writings in L4D)

Keith

[powwow23]

lol omgd that would be funny if they put keith in the 3rd one and i was thinking they could set it in california. with a cop,and also a salsy latina,a turist(visting california) and ketih.HA! and i was thiking of uncomn infected like male piter acpt he spits tar and the survivers get stuck it and have to be pulle out by the other surviers.

[Pantallideth1]

@powwow23 do you even speak english?

[Hmslc234]

There was supposed to be cross game compatibility between LFD1/2... but Gabe ate it.

[lolubentrold]

I'll admit, I love L4D, and L4D2 is great, but they REALLY should have taken at least 2 to 3 years to make L4D2.

[themaster0fclimax]

@lolubentrold

why?

[lolubentrold]

0:05 BOOMER!

[MrZixoz]

HAHAHA

[powwow23]

LMAO that mad a tear drop hahahahahahaha! cus i was going to leve a comment saying i see were they modled the boomer from..

[TECKNADEFILMGUIDEN]

@lolubentrold shut up jockey

[Nombombs]

7:00

Announcing L4D3? :o

[Llennoccm8]

@Nombombs

Can't wait. In l4d2, the changed the look of the old infected, i was thinking, what will the new infected look like in l4d3?

[0NavyPheonix0]

@avmf8 You do realize Gabe Newell is the maker of valve?

If he didn't exist, you do realize you wouldn't even have your 60 buck game in the first place?

[avmf8]

@0NavyPheonix0 so what 60 bucks for a game that is garbage in a year I wouldhave preferred to not have the game.

Also who cares if he made valve as if no one else would have come up with the idea if he did'nt. He is pretty much a lieing sack of crap and I wont be buying another valve game since they suck ass. They may not suck ass much ass as EA games but they still suck ass.

[known12]

@0NavyPheonix0 looking at him the only thing I realize about Gabe is that he probably spends more time eating beef and cheddars at Arbys then working on games.

[avmf8]

@Lerperz

I dont care you dont make a sequel a year after a game comes out when its multiplayer bassed. A year is not long enough to have them kill your game so soon. I only had the game 6 months. I dont need to be buying a new game every year.

If they wanted to make money they could make a new game. I feel I paid 50 bucks to play a beta that is what L4D seems to be a beta and they made people pay for it.

They should not be making money with unfair business practices companies need to stop it

[avmf8]

@Lerperz Yes it is killed its a multi player based game if you loose the player base the game is dead. The AI suck to play with they are dumb as a sack of rocks. In fact the sack of rocks would make a better team mate.

This game was never made as a one player game and it shows. I knew it was a multi player game and bought it as such. For a mutli player game its BS to come out with a sequel so fast. Now if valve wants to do that with a one player game great but not a mostly multi player game.

[rayquezaEXD]

@avmf8 that why you should make friends : )

[avmf8]

@rayquezaEXD I have a full friends list on xbox live some of them are real life friends as well who gave me there gamertags. But none of my friends fake online friends or real friends play L4D 1 on live.

I bought a couple of weeks ao L4D 2 for the Pc and L4D 2 is full of glitches and the online lags runs like crap. No matter what room you join the pings suck. Yet I can play other games on this same connection fine.

[1121Jessie]

Fail charger at 5.34

[avmf8]

in doing this they killed the first one.

[koedmuch100]

why dont we get a game in which the survivers from lfd1 meet up with the survivors from lfd2?

[crewsguy]

@koedmuch100 The Passing hurr hurr

[emhis1]

@koedmuch100 In 2 months or so they will.........

[solidfreak123]

i heared that Valve doesnt like Xbox360 because that EA always puts their games on the 360 i dont hate 360 or pc cause ive got both Xbox Live and Steam

[dfireball122]

woot left4dead 3!

[PureMetalDrummer]

i hope they do a left 4 dead 3, featuring alot of other bonus stuff like: CREATING YOUR OWN SURVIVOR!

[peopleperson111]

@PureMetalDrummer

Yeah, I've thought about that a lot of times, but L4D isn't the type of series where you can just create a new character, because the game has dialogue from each character, and all of the dialogue has personality, just like the character skins. So what I'm trying to say is that creating your own character is cool, but how would the dialogue fit in? I mean, L4D is ALL about the dialogue, literally, the story telling and calls for help.

[wakawaka60]

maybe they can create the characters and each have to choose 4 different types of voices? like if you make a female character u can choose 3 voices that fit into a story. Or the custom characters can only be used for versus and survivor

[PureMetalDrummer]

yeah i guess but they still should make a third one

[notme500000000000000]

all you need is the skill to install voices,a microphone, and a recorder :D

[gimee50k]

@peopleperson111 i would say you should have the option of creating your own character. and chosing between i don't know, 8 different voices? that may help

[stingz009]

I agree with you!

[72181163]

the only problem i have is the gun placements i like the l4d1 gun placements they made it more fun :D

but now it dosent have the same feeling :(

[Zacsi]

valve seriously STFU and gives us HL2 ep3

or in other words:

HL2EP3 OR GTFO

[randomgalore]

@Zacsi You shut up or GTFO. Not as much of the community has been interested in hl2 series since left 4 dead 2.

[Zacsi]

hey no offense man

im just saying if they made me buy all the hl series atleast have the decency to finish the game in a resonable time

[N0morePK]

do they sell it for ps3?

[ChesterBennington21]

No, Its only for Xbox360 and PC

[blazez19]

lmao i can bet on that.

[Cc2oo9]

@MegaRandomMan :L

[devers765]

how very kind and grateful of you.

[esfelectra]

@MegaRandomMan

shhh he'll eat you

[lippo91]

When i saw gabe, I instantly thought:

BOOMER

[MLIncorperated]

l4d and l4d2 rules!!!!!!

BOW CHICKA BOW WOW!!!

[u7y8u7y8]

@MLIncorperated

unless u got the australian version.

(l4d2 death music comes on)

[nintendogrl0603]

@u7y8u7y8 I feel sorry for the Australian Gamers who got the game. Poor guys don't get to decapitate.

[teedonster]

i would love 3rd person mode on 360. not by opening console but like an on/off thing

[TheFrostBit]

OMG! A BOOMER

[XDestroyoxZx]

THIS IS WHY HL EPISODE 3 IS DELAYED

[pwnsforyou1]

No you idiot, ep3 hasn't even got a release date yet you, noob ?:(

[coolbob431991]

incase your all wondiring adrian sheperd is the main character from half-life opposing force

[TomSpeed97]

Oh really, no Half Life fan in the whole world knew that.

Thanks for this information that 99.9% of Half Life fans knew.

[coolbob431991]

WOW your an ass hole there were comments on this video on gamespots website where people did not no who he was

[zomgreturpant]

tomspeed97 go fuck yourself kiddo. I had no idea who he was and I wondered.

[TomSpeed97]

Funniest thing is that at 2:20, it shows Gabe and plays the Tank music.

[monkeypoo6]

They couldn't find any boomer music.

[ignacev8x]

Gabe "Boomer" Newell,great interview

[zizitop57]

gabe : va te faire foutre gros tas de merde de menteur ! t'est qu'un fils de pute ! sale porc ! u a bitch !

[jonathanshemon1]

wat?

and ur a bich

[crazymcfobo]

Why did he say Adrian Shepard? Why not Gordon Freeman? Does that mean Ep 3 will be about Adrian?

[lodgetiki]

''Left 4 Dead 2 bycotters are preordering the game more than those who like L4D'' Well that proves the bycotters actually LIKE the game

[wrestlingfanman22]

i want more swamp fever gameplay

[123ilikecheese456]

me to

[MrCarter2daFullest]

lmao i like how sed the ppl who were boycottin this game are preorderin it....fuckin idiots i swear

[swiper33333]

he is a god is swear to god! (:/)

not to be mean but he looks like harry potter with those glasses.

did he lose weight he looks a bit thinner?:D

[con5432]

I thought Gabe was being to friendly to the boycott group I just wouldnt mention them. If I were Gabe I would have probably laughed at them back at E3 like Chet did when people acccused it of racism. (Good thing I'm not Gabe huh?)

[wrestlingfanman22]

How would it look if the prseident and co-founder of a multi-million/billion company laughed and critisized others for expressing an opinion,even if they're a bunch of fucktards?Not so good.

[con5432]

Yeah thats kind of why I said good thing I'm not Gabe : ) (I mean he's rich but I'd probably fuck everything up lol)

[GMDPDKD]

Adrain sheperd!

[andytheobliviator]

I love Gabe

[IC3Cold01]

a lil bird told me that left 4 dead 1 characters are going to be included in the sequel l4d2 possibly as DLC some how they meet or somthing like that idk but i know its happening

[zurgu]

L4d2: One week after first infection.

L4d1: Two weeks after first infection.

So you tell me, that L4D1 crew is going to meet L4D2 crew, before l4d1?

[Jdog8998]

nice lie

[EddieZaic]

Incorrect.

L4D1 - 2 weeks after the first infection.

L4D2 - 3 weeks after the first infection. Also 1 week after L4D1.

L4D1 survivors went to the other safezone. They will never see L4D2 survivors.

[IC3Cold01]

ok search voice actor of louis left 4 dead  it interviews the guy and he says that he is doing some new script for left 4 dead 2 and that the original crew will be included in the new game

[ryan215553]

no they said l4d 2 is a week before l4d 1 so its during when the infection first happened they also say that in an interview so thats a fatc and not my opion

[EddieZaic]

L4D2 takes place 3 weeks after the first infected, 1 week after the L4D1 events.

[ryan215553]

no u idiot, in one of the interviews he says it happens a week before l4d 1 when the infection first started!

[EddieZaic]

Prove it then, the official info says that it takes place 3 weeks after the first infection and 1 week after L4D1 events.

[IC3Cold01]

ok search voice actor of louis left 4 dead it interviews the guy and he says that he is doing some new script for left 4 dead 2 and that the original crew will be included in the new game so tell me

[ryan215553]

a hint that they will never meet is THERE IN OTHER STATES!

[wrestlingfanman22]

they even said that the l4d1 survivors WILL make an appearance in l4d2

[swiper33333]

yes maybe but not WITH the others, maybe as a bonus with an extra campain between D.A. and B.H.

[wrestlingfanman22]

they never said they wont appear with the other characters so you dont know that.

[DrPalePeople]

L4D 2 looks better than L4D 1 so far but I can't say shit since I haven't played 2 yet.

[SeanJ900]

tightt. i knt wait 4 dis game. hahah it comes out pretty soon

[IC3Cold01]

such a bad ass game

[drexelkiller74]

he looks so sad at the end like he was being forced to say it

[BlackFlames84]

2nd

[easyben21]

Cool

[Jdog8998]

first
