Not much is really known about Turtle Rock's FPS, Left 4 Dead. It's a new one from the co-developers of Counter-Strike: Source, for the PC and Xbox 360.

It was on display at last year's QuakeCon, and while it was meant to be out by the end of 2007, has been pushed back for a release some time this year. Remember kids, Valve is involved, having recently bought the developers, so this one'll be out "when it's done".

While you're waiting for that, take a look through these, the first officially released screenshots, and tell me what you think.

Wow, judging by the new screen shots the graphics look awesome!!, in my opinion this will be the best game of 2008

I read about this game in a magazine.

Apparently you have two sides. One group of players controls the humans, another the zombies. When a human player dies, they become a zombie player.

And there are some boss zombies that do things like vomit blood to attract zombies to particular players.

Yatzee (ZP) meantioned it in his log on his trip to valve. He liked it too.

Of course, the more important news (to me, i was away for a week) was the TF2 news, but hey

Been waiting for this for sooooo long. The idea of fortifying a house and warding off the zombies all in a MP FPS sounds insane!

there is actually a bit of info about this out already. here's a good 'hands on preview' article:

you might consider a HL2 mod called 'zombie panic', in which you can do exactly that! not the most polished of games given it's a mod, but if you play with friends it's an absolute blast.

i don't think these screenies look so good, but i've seen in game footage, with the mode where the humans have to escape, and the zombies have to try and kill them..and it looked really cool, so i still have high hopes.

Will have my new comp by then so thats another +

This looks epic...a real pity it's so far off though :cry:

I remember watching some in-game footage from Quakecon i think - looks like this may be the one true co-op experience I've been missing out on

Lets Pwn some Zombies!!!!!!!!!!!!

in august....

Gfx don't look that epic but that just means I can run everything full @ 1680x1050.

Unlike, ahem, Crysis...

Meh, gfx dont have to be awesome...we've all seen how well TF2 has done (and still is) without the need for good graphics, so as long as they're decent and we can pump the settings up...it's going to be awesome
