Left 4 Dead: My time with the demo

So the Left 4 Dead demo hit earlier today and i made this video showing off some of the zombie-tastic moments. This video is me playing single player with bots. Enjoy :)

I don't really see what puts this game above the likes of Serious Sam.

I played the 360 version with bots at a gaming event in London recently, I was very impressed by the quality of the AI,

Thanks for posting.

Great video mate, great demo and awesome game. I look forward to seeing some more of your videos, their really rather good lol.

Can i ask what software you use to record your gameplay and then edit it with?

I'm glad you did what we were all thinking when you stood on that car.

This game looks amazing.

The game is Kick Ass i mean come on who doesnt like to be overwelmed in zombies fighting for there live's.
Its just one of those games that will never be memorized and never forgotten because you will jump every time that zombie or tank or ect. will come around and nab you.

Christ!  I'm getting a headache watching you flick around left & right like a crack head. You're only fighting AI, not humans, so the ultra-fast Bruce Lee reflexes aren't required.  Now I've got motion sickness.  Think about your viewing audience next time & slow down the camera movement for the viewers.

I`m guessing you didn`t notice how fast the zombies were, I thought the video was great, no one is forcing you to watch this.
But anyways, awesome video man, I can`t wait to get the game."

Very cool demo, the animation for the zombies as they run at you is pretty scary. I just have to decide if I wan this on Steam or the 360 now.

Oooohh my god. Cant wait.

I really want it now. I need sum mula.

hit me up on steam?

Not bad. However I'll have to play the demo for myself once the full game is released to decide whether this is worth the price of a full game. It had always seemed more like a mod to me. Even TF2 was less than $40 USD at launch.

Oh geez, this makes me really want to play it.  I know it will never happen, but PLEASE let this game come to PS3 or Mac :'(

@Lind_L_Taylor: Sorry dude but as you can see those zombies move fast, if you would like to move slower i would be dead and that wont be much fun to watch :)

@Hamz: I used FRAPS to record and Pinnacle Studio 12 to edit, nothing fancy.

@pill92: sent you a friend request.

Also thanks for the positive comments guys :D

This game looks kick ass, can't wait to try the demo and play with actual humans, that should make the Zombiepocalypse much more entertaining

I can't watch other people play FPS. It gets me sick if they're jerking left & right all over the place.

Chill dude. I suppose your a pro then? Smooth calm calculated slow movements?
doesnt work when zombies want to raeeep your brains"

Lind, if watching videos of FPSs makes you feel sick, then I would recommend NOT watching videos of FPSs.  You know, instead of watching the video and then complaining about how it made you feel sick when you knew it was going to do that in the first place.

Regarding griefers, apparently there will be a 'permanant record' in place where you'll be able to see a player's full history of merits ('good' deeds like healing your fellow survivors) and demerits ('bad' deeds like team killing).  If you don't like the way a given random player's record looks, you can boot him before the game even starts.

Looks scawy.  And awesome.

Looks like a good game, actually. I was a naysayer, but I may be wrong...

By the way, Hamz, there's a Source engine feature that can create AVI movies from demos. It works brilliantly, look it up!
