THQ Signs Left 4 Dead Developers, Promising to (Guess What?) Change Multiplayer

by on

It's a shooter. It has multiplayer. And you won't be playing it until 2013.

THQ continues to make some interesting moves, spearheaded by former Hollywood producer-turned-gaming exec Danny Bilson. The publisher's signed the next game from Turtle Rock Studios, who used to be cozy with Valve, resulting in Counter-Strike: Source and Left 4 Dead.

All we know about Turtle Rock's latest is a first-person-shooter featuring, uh, multiplayer, with Bilson projecting it will "make a similar impact [as Left 4 Dead] in the multiplayer space."

As for when we'll hear more about it, that's less clear. It won't be at E3, with a "full reveal" coming at a "later date" in the "months ahead." I'm "doing" a lot of "quoting" this "press release."

And even when we hear about the project, playing it's even further off: sometime in 2013.

@zaglis: Yea did they? I didn't know they made CSS.
They made the Xbox port of CSS which supposedly had the best AI ever or something.
WRONG AGAIN. There is no Xbox version of CSS, all Turtle Rock did was port CZ to Xbox
It came packed in with Half Life 2 at some point, that's all I remember.
CSS was originally the multi-player portion of Half-life 2 for the initial PC release, CSS has never released on a console.

Whatever, I only care about counter strike on a PC anyways. It would be almost as bad as tf2 on console.
