Resident Evil 6 and L4D2 Crossing Over with PC Exclusive Content - Polidicks

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnfKgMrn85Q[/media] [quote]Capcom and Valve are pleased to announce the Resident Evil® 6 x Left 4 Dead 2 project. This crossover project between two of the interactive entertainment industry's most respected publishers will see characters from Left 4 Dead™ 2 featured exclusively in the forthcoming PC version of Resident Evil® 6, while enemies from Resident Evil 6 will invade the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2. All content will be made available completely free for fans of either game to access and play.[/quote] Source: [URL]http://kotaku.com/5990832/capcom-and-valve-team-up-for-resident-evil-6-x-left-4-dead-2-title[/URL]

well this is very sudden and strange

I really don't feel like buying RE6 or reinstalling L4D2, considering one game sucks and the other took 3 years to actually put out content.

Well this was highly unexpected! Rather curious as to if the Left 4 Dead 2 characters will be updated graphically or not in Resident Evil 6.

thats cool!

That's outta nowhere. I'm still not getting re6 though.

I am alright with this. Though I'd prefer to see enemies from classic Resident Evil's. A licker, being some kind of terrifying combination of the smoker and licker? That'd be awesome.

Wasn't RE6 terrible or something? Seems odd that valve would want to associate l4d with it. But then again valve really do go crazy with promos.

[QUOTE=mooman1080;39924194]Wasn't RE6 terrible or something? Seems odd that valve would want to associate l4d with it. But then again valve really do go crazy with promos.[/QUOTE]Probably because, at this point, Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil are the biggest names in the zombie game genre.

First thought upon reading the title was "Hey, maybe Wesker will be behind the crossover L4D2 campaign!" Then I remembered, and made myself sad.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;39924254]as much as 6 is not really a good game, they sure as hell are working to make it look really appealing for pc gamers, examples being a benchmark, preorder bonuses on steam that are actually worth something, crossover, using a heavily pc-friendly engine for porting[/QUOTE] Yeah, especially considering it's only 40 bucks.

To be honest, the price at which it costs was the definitely the main appeal. Had it been a fully-priced $60 game lacking the pre-order incentives it has on Steam, I'd probably not have purchased it.

I'd love to see what's on l4d's side, but I couldn't give a shit about re6.

I love shit like this. It's like something you'd expect from the modding community coming from the actual devs. I hope we can expect more stuff like this in the future.

I hope Francis asks you for pills in RE6.

Now I wish I waited to get RE6 on steam rather than on xbox. The game gets a lot of flak, and often for the wrong reasons. Mechanically, its one of the more enjoyable co-op experiences out there. At least L4D2 is getting content as well.

It was already hinted in their blog [url]http://www.l4d.com/blog/post.php?id=10109[/url] The zombie in a T-pose is from RE6

Eh, I feel that this is nothing more then a gimmick. As a avid fan of both L4D and RE they're not the same and don't really belong with one another.

[QUOTE=MR-X;39925567]Eh, I feel that this is nothing more then a gimmick. As a avid fan of both L4D and RE they're not the same and don't really belong with one another.[/QUOTE] Pretty much all game crossovers tend to be gimmicks.

Resident evil 6 would be so much better if they replaced the protagonists with Keith and Ellis. "ey did I ever tell you about the time when keith and I visited Africa? When we got there everyone seemed pissed at us, but I think it was cause Keith hadn't showered in a week. Well anyways we hear about some sort of public assembly and figure, hey might as well meet the locals. Man Keith musta pissed them off mighty fierce cause that shit was nuts."

[QUOTE=MR-X;39925567]Eh, I feel that this is nothing more then a gimmick.[/QUOTE] Were you expecting something serious and in-depth?

Zombie hounds in Left 4 Dead 2 would be awesome

well hey at least that means porting half of RE6's models to GMod will be a piece of piss now

Ha. Capcom thinks that they're a respected publisher.

Combining two disappointing franchises into one? What an amazing idea!
