Valve has announced that Left 4 Dead 2, which will feature wholly new content, will hit shelves this November. The announcements for new games are coming thick and fast at E3 2009 this year but Valve may have the best announcement of all, with the reveal that Left 4 Dead 2 will be with gamers by the end of the year. There aren’t a huge amount of specifics on the game at this point, but it is confirmed that it’ll have new locations, new survivors, new boss zombies, new weapons…new everything, really. ” A large part of how Left 4 Dead became 2008’s top-selling new IP on Xbox 360 and the PC was the custom-tailored gameplay made possible by the AI Director, ” said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. ” With the knowledge gained from creating the original, new technology, and a passionate team, L4D2 will set a new benchmark for cooperative action games. ” Among the new weapons are a bunch of new melee-focused items, including a chainsaw, frying pan, axe and baseball bat according to early reports. Melee will reportedly play a much bigger role than it did in the original Left 4 Dead and the co-op system is also promised to be deeper and more interesting. The AI Director software is also being updated for the new game, with the new system able to control every aspect of the game and not just the zombies.

Guybrush Threepwood and Co. will be reappearing in a series of new Monkey Island games. Rumours that The Secret of Monkey Island might be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade may, it seems, have been drastically understated. Today Lucasarts revealed plans for a full remake of the original game would be coming to the Xbox 360, as well as a new series of adventure games based on the series. In other news, Joe just died of happiness . According to the announcement, Lucasarts will be internally developing a The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition for the Xbox 360 and the game will include totally new graphics, a newly remastered musical score and full voiceovers. That’s not all for Monkey Island either, as Lucasarts has confirmed it has teamed up with Telltale Games to produce a new series of episodic Monkey Island games too. It’s a move laced with irony too as Telltale was originally formed by designers who left Lucasarts to make games based on Sam and Max after Lucas had seemed to abandon the genre

6:54PM And… Ezio just shot someone in the face with a wrist-mounted gun. What a great note to end the show on. Thanks for reading, everybody! 6:53PM 1468, Venice, Italy. A CG video shows masked dancers having a jolly old time, before being targeted by some serious-looking fellows. Are they here to stir up trouble?

When Crysis 2 was announced , we looked forward to seeing the evolution of one of the most eye-catching FPS titles ever created at this week’s E3 . Well, folks, it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer for that, because the trailer released for E3 is sorely lacking in the content department. Well, unless the kind of content you’re looking for is big chunks of broken glass floating in a black space. Original source: www.joystiq.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru
