Left 4 Dead 2 getting unannounced Realism mode
News regarding Left 4 Dead 2 has been circulating for some time now and still new details are emerging. The latest set of details lets us know of a previously unannounced game mode enittled ‘Realism’ mode.
1Up asked marketing VP over at Valve, Doug Lombardi, about the peculiar mode who said ‘Realism’ mode is for players who can play the game better than the testers can.
What exactly does this mean? Well, Kotaku hypothesizes that perhaps it is a kind of head shot only mode where you can only kill the zombies with a shot to the head. You know, like in the movies.
Valve wants to develop for PS3, hasn’t found a good team yet
Considering some of Valve’s flagship titles such as Left 4 Dead never made their way onto the Playstation 3 would lead one to think that Valve had no intentions of ever bringing titles to the platform. However, this is not the case.
In a recent interview with Valve’s Doug Lombardi, done by Joystiq, he said that despite the titles not coming to the PS3, the company still wants to develop for the platform. What’s blocking the way? Well, a group of “decent PS3 coders”, of course.
So, once Valve secures a team of what they are calling “talented PS3 guys” they will again develop for the PS3 but until then, not a chance.
