Chet speaks about the new L4D2 DLC: The Passing

Postby Blink on Sun Mar 21, 2010 9:51 am

If you can put up with the incredibly annoying host then this video is worth a watch.

Essentially the players in the new L4D 2 DLC will run into three of the survivors from the first game, meaning that one of them didn't make it. At some point after Valve will release a campaign for L4D that will explain how this happened, and one of you will have to make the sacrifice for everyone else to survive.

Interesting twist.

I belive it's Bill who's going to get killed. Just because his voice actor left the building, or something. They didn't even get him to work on Crash Course.
I call it DMV. Call it pointless~~

I've heard a lot of rumors around that, something about an accident?

Annoying host? That's Geoff Keighley and I like him for the fact he put up a good argument against the shitty Fox news who were having a go at games.

Besides he's really good at tricking dev's into saying secret game stuff.

He talks over Chet and states the obvious nearly every time he speaks. Frustrating to watch.

1. host is annoying "MY GOOOD BUDDY CHET" chet's like... ok...

2. interesting twist, though it may not be Bill.. I'm pretty certain his VA was on VAcation (lul) when they were recording Crash Course, of Course (lol) people spread rumours of jail time, death, illness, and or not working for Valve anymore. I'm pretty sure he was just taking a break.

3. in the end of the video, Chet reveals Portal 2 WILL come out later this year, that's exciting.

4. GTs promo for this was super exaggerated, people say they have a reputation for doing so.. I would have loved a release date for the DLC (I know, later this march, but I wanted a date) but oh well, this is interesting news.

Oh, also, if l4d3 picks up with the old survivors, who will take over Bill's role, or are the DLCs not considered cannon?

Can't get video to load, it just doesn't fucking play even when the video is entirely preloaded.

I wanted to watch the ME stuff as well.

For the record, the show doubles as a show on spike TV, and because of this they have some slight time limitations in which he needs to push out questions ever X minutes / seconds. Poor Geoff, )= as far as I can tell, most TV show hosts are annoying anyhow. ESPECIALLY American TV hosts. You brits get all the luck (sometimes) when it comes to news / interviews and such.

As for l4d characters dying: Don't worry, he/she 'll re-spawn in the next ready room! Or maybe we can find him/her in the closet later on... Oh wait, It's different this time?
