GameTech: ‘World War Z’ revives ‘Left 4 Dead’
Ironically, Left 4 Dead lived up to its name. Valve’s hugely popular zombie shooter was abandoned by its developer after the second game was released, ten years ago, leaving fans desperate for more. The years went by like shambling corpses, with no sign of a revival.
It’s no surprise, then, that someone went grave-digging in Valve’s gilded tomb. Saber Interactive decided to pull out Left 4 Dead’s remains and clone the DNA. The result, bizarrely, is a game that takes the name of another famous property — World War Z — but one that is a ‘Left 4 Dead sequel in all but name.
