[QUOTE="aaronmullan"]Yes, this is going to be a great multiplat. Too bad the 360 gets the vastly inferior version.sikanderahmed

i wouldnt say that, while i dont have any problem playing L4D2 with KB/M i still prefer controller coz its better + the graphics are SLIGHTLY worse on 360 so i dont see how you can call it a vastly inferior version

User created content makes it vastly superior to me.

Vastly superior though? I mean the game isnt amazing looking anyway. Aside from the nicer resolution, I dont see that much difference b/w both versions (and yes I maxed it out on my PC)

What better graphics? :| The source engine is showing its age. There are plenty of games on the 360 which look way better than anything Valve have come out with this gen so far. The PC version will be better just because of user-created content, but in terms of the game as it is out of the box, they'll be exactly the same.

The PC demo is just the 360 demo. They had problems with the original PC demo, so they just ported the 360 demo. That's why they look identical. (An example is that the PC demo has no feet :P) The actual PC one will look slightly better.

Even though this game is multiplat, doesn't this still count as a loss for PS3? Just seems to me that 360 and PC gamers are getting a top tier title, and PS3 is not.

Also, the difference between the 360 and PC version of L4D was barely noticable, and only if you looked. This game will be similar. Valve are not known for their graphics.

i doubt thats the case as there are several differences between 360 and pc demo, also why would valve go through the hassle of porting 360 demo to pc e.g. optimizing it and adding features like steam group play etc.i mean its just a demo

no it isn't, and out of the box left4dead looks just as good as the PC version, this game will be no different, say what you like, but the 360 can push the source engine just as far as a top end PC, the one thing the PC has going for it is the user created content, but apart from that they will be identical

pc version looks better then 360 version but i agree that 360 can push source engine quite far though it seems lazy valve was unable to do that because 360 version should look exactly like pc version running on max settings but it looks slightly worse.

[QUOTE="dsmccracken"]Did you? We all know what the definitions are. Even if "console exclusive" is not accepted in SW, we all know what it means.

I'll take that as a no.

Grab your crayons I'll give you a lesson:

"console exclusive" literally means 'exclusive to consoles' (we can infer the plurality because no one console is cited). In the case of L4D it is not a "console exclusive" because A) Its also on the PC and B) It's only on one console (Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno would be examples of "console exclusives"). Maybe you mean its a "360 exclusive", but again that isn't the case either because it is also on the PC. You are trying to claim some sort of ownage based on exclusivity where there is none. L4D is a multiplat game, nothing less, nothing more. Don't try to spin it into something it is not, you just make yourself look silly.

Thank you, good sir. It's just a matter of understanding the english language. The term "console exclusive" does indeed exist but Left 4 Dead just isn't one. Final Fantasy 13 is exclusive to consoles, it's not on PC, therefore it's a console exclusive. Left 4 Dead is on PC. Calling it a console exclusive is simply wrong. People need to find another word to describe games that aren't on the PS3 if they want to claim ownage.

So sony and nintendo fans are really farm animals? It's pretty hilarious to see people debate dictionary definitions of terminology while ignoring all the other stupid terms that are already accepted.

good point, you can't exactly apply real world definitions to a world where PS3 owners are cows,360 owners are lemmings and wii owners are sheep, ther is no room for logic in SW,lol

L4D2 is pretty cool.
It was nice playing in a day level.The melee weapons are alright I guess,I still don't prefer over dual wield.I only had the cooking pan,guitar and machete though.
The new weapons are nice too...Especially the AK.
The gore is awesome.Shooting zombies and seeing limbs fly off is very rewarding.Something I might pick up when it hits the bargain bin.

Why are you talking down to him as if he was stupid? He gave you a reasoned responce that while you may disagree with, does make some sense. What he is trying to say is that it is still a benefit to the 360 game library when compared to that of the other consoles, the PS3 and Wii.

Sure its not an exclusive and system wars refuses (by some) to give any merit to the 360 game library for such multiplats but the fact remains that it is an ADDITION to the 360 game library. I also agree that a lot of cows act deliberately obtuse. Like I said its an ADDITION to the 360 game library NOT PS3, nothing more but certainly nothing less. Don't act like it means nothing at all!!

this and I know ps3 owners being sad because Valve didn't release that game on their console. like my friend bought an xbox 360, because he wants to play Mass Effect and Let4Dead2 and doesn't want to bother tweaking his laptop that he uses for work. This is a million seller game, wanting it or not, and it's a pity that it won't be released for Ps3.

The day people stop using the term "Console gfx king", is the day that "console exclusive" will have no place.

What lemmings really mean to say is "PS3 excluded", but that would infer that the Wii isn't excluded, but nobody cares if the Wii is excluded, or PC given the terms "console exclusive" and "console gfx king".

Really, neither should be allowed.

In an effort to claim some sort of ownage he failed to grasp a fundamental concept, even after it was pointed out to him. I simply explained an utterly obvious concept to him in a way he might understand. Don't shoot the messenger.

I understand that SW is a land of extremes and a multiplat landing on one console but not another is something, but it certainly isn't an exclusive and it certainly isn't ownage.

With-Hatred

Maybe it's cows doing damage control ;)

...no it's twsting definitions. I think this thread already derailed the supposed definition of "Console Exclusive." For it to be a Console Exclusive, it can't be released on the PC platform. The Multiple MLB 09 the Show threads also proved that system wars does not acknowledge "Sony Exclusives" or "Microsoft exclusives" so you can't use that either. It's just a multiplat.

Your lesson seems to be lacking, as it fails to mention that "console exclusive" is jargon used by gamers here to describe when a game is only on one console (and yes, also on the PC). That meaning is well known, and though it doesn't match the literal definition of the phrase, that doesn't change the fact that the concept it describes is well known. You'll note that, similarly, "network exclusive" doesn't literally mean exclusive it all TV networks, but rather means exclusive to one of the major networks. Oddly, this doesn't seem to cause a linguistic uproar... maybe you should get on that, alert the people. Or perhaps tackle how "Grapenuts" contains neither grapes nor nuts.... At no point have I tried to claim ownage. I don't even own a 360. In fact, I only game on my PS3.

L4D is a multiplat game, nothing less, nothing more. Don't try to spin it into something it is not, you just make yourself look silly.

Your lesson seems to be lacking, as it fails to mention that "console exclusive" is jargon used by gamers here to describe when a game is only on one console (and yes, also on the PC). That meaning is well known, and though it doesn't match the literal definition of the phrase, that doesn't change the fact that the concept it describes is well known. You'll note that, similarly, "network exclusive" doesn't literally mean exclusive it all TV networks, but rather means exclusive to one of the major networks. Oddly, this doesn't seem to cause a linguistic uproar... maybe you should get on that, alert the people. Or perhaps tackle how "Grapenuts" contains neither grapes nor nuts.... At no point have I tried to claim ownage. I don't even own a 360. In fact, I only game on my PS3.

No, its a term used by raving fanboys in a desperate attempt at ownage.

Two wrongs doesn't make a right but your example is bunk anyway. When something is declared "Network Exclusive" it is only on NBC, CBS, FOX, etc(PS3, 360, Wii), it isn't concurrently airing on HBO, Cinemax, etc (PC).

In an effort to claim some sort of ownage he failed to grasp a fundamental concept, even after it was pointed out to him. I simply explained an utterly obvious concept to him in a way he might understand. Don't shoot the messenger.

I understand that SW is a land of extremes and a multiplat landing on one console but not another is something, but it certainly isn't an exclusive and it certainly isn't ownage.

I would love to know 2 things. Firstly, could you quote the part of my post where I tried to claim ownage? You've referred to it multiple times, yet I have no idea what you're talking about. Second, why say "don't shoot the messenger?" Messenger implies that you are merely delivering a message from an original sender. So who is this sender who's burdened you with the task, not only of giving two erroneous def's of "console exclusive", but has further instructed you to do so in an uncalled for condescending manner? I suspect that you are not only the messenger, but also the author. So: ready, aim....

I'll take that as a no.

Grab your crayons I'll give you a lesson:

"console exclusive" literally means 'exclusive to consoles' (we can infer the plurality because no one console is cited). In the case of L4D it is not a "console exclusive" because A) Its also on the PC and B) It's only on one console (Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno would be examples of "console exclusives"). Maybe you mean its a "360 exclusive", but again that isn't the case either because it is also on the PC. You are trying to claim some sort of ownage based on exclusivity where there is none. L4D is a multiplat game, nothing less, nothing more. Don't try to spin it into something it is not, you just make yourself look silly.

I am not a fanboy, nor am I raving or attempting to claim ownage, so it would appear that your assertion is without merit. Your ability to weigh the term "console exclusive" is tainted by your perception of those who use it. Your rebuttal to the "network exclusive" example is itself bunk, as you've now tacked on the word "concurrently." Is lack of concurrence now a necessary prerequisite of exclusivity? That's a new wrinkle, did that come from an industry authority, or did you think it up in attempt to whip up something to debate with? Speaking purely practically, that (concurrence) would be unlikely as the odds of the networks airing something at the exact moment that HBO was doing the same are very small. It is enough that HBO would have aired it at some point, thus requiring the word "network" to be tacked onto the word "exclusive."

Yes, this is going to be a great multiplat. Too bad the 360 gets the vastly inferior version.aaronmullan
i'd say slightly, not vastly.

Let's look at this closely. Raving. Fanboys. Desperate. Ownage. None of these words pertains to the term "console exclusive" itself as a phrase. A game that is on only one console: that's it. Simple, yet look at the extreme dramatic language you characterize it with. It seems that you are more rabid about the term than those that use it are to describe 360/PC games. What threatens you so much about "console exclusive?" It's just language, but you treat it like an ad hominem attack, and worse, you yourself resort to ad hominems in response to this innocuous jargon. It's bizarre, quite frankly...

I don't see how people can think user created content for L4D isn't a big deal. I mean the game only has a few campaigns to start with and while I had no problem with them at first any addition is very welcome. The user created maps are generally very good; not always the same quality as the valve made maps but some are. With mods we might end up being able to play L4D maps on l4D2 as well which would be amazing. PC also has a server list you can use and there is a 12 player Co-op mod that is actually balanced very well (specials have more health, tanks health is probably above 25k and larger hordes). I would call that a vast difference. Will the average user use all that? Probably not but that's just their loss isn't it. Also M+K is way better for L4D versus, makes the game more difficult than the 360 version because it allows faster reactions.

Lemmings trying to twist definitions :roll:

Maybe it's cows doing damage control ;)

...no it's twsting definitions. I think this thread already derailed the supposed definition of "Console Exclusive." For it to be a Console Exclusive, it can't be released on the PC platform. The Multiple MLB 09 the Show threads also proved that system wars does not acknowledge "Sony Exclusives" or "Microsoft exclusives" so you can't use that either. It's just a multiplat.

^^this - i've said it before and i'll say it again: console exclusive and console graphics king are silly terms.

I say, and have always said, that it is a term with meaning, though it may not have a real world impact on all. It may be silly to you, in that you have a PC that is gaming-capable, but that doesn't make the term itself silly. It not affecting you personally is not the bar that it should be measured by.

This isn't exculsive in any way shape or form. This is "System Wars", meaning it includes all systems. The PC is included also.

[QUOTE="Parasomniac"]That's not an exclusiveTrinitarian
yeah but its a console exclusive. I don't focus on the PC in these sorts of things. Only the PS3. To be a hardcore PC gamer is out of the question for me right now and probably for years to come. For one, the games on the PC are almost always better anyway and that comes with a huge price tag IMO. I can't imagio n having to buy upgrades for almost every high end game that comes out, worrying about all the problems that a computer has in regardes to bugs and glithes. I won't argue that PC gamers have a better time with gaming but its just not in my reach. IMO PC is a superior beast lol, so just let us console gamers fight over the scraps :)

Well guess what? MLB 09 is a console exclusive, but it doesn't count. Can't have it both ways -- sorry. If L4D2 gets AAA for the X360 version, it shouldn't count.

lundy86_4
It is only on one console. That is a way, shape, and form... all at once! The "System Wars, not Console Wars" point is so tired and misguided. You're right that this place is called System Wars, but that is because this is a forum where discussions on all systems are welcome. That does NOT mean that we therefore have to include the entire Benneton rainbow of systems in every thread, every post, every sentence, every breath, every thought. Think of it this way: if this were an MLB forum instead of a gaming one, and two people were debating the superiority of the Yankees vs. the Red Sox, would it not be silly for another forumite to wade in with the charge that they were somehow (and bizarrely) trying to pretend that the Detroit Tigers didn't exist? It would be absurd. Of course the Tigers exist, but they wouldn't be relevant to the topic at hand, and no one would try to claim that the two original debators were somehow trying to abuse the rules of the forum (and logic) by not including every bloody team in MLB in their discussion when the whole point of their focus was two specific teams. It seems to me that a rather large % of the traffic here in SW is a ******* war between the PS3 and the 360, and that when comparing those two systems, "console exclusivity" (or whatever you want to call it) holds some logical weight. Not as much as full exclusivity, certainly, but SOMETHING.

It isn't exclusive in the terms in which we apply it in this forum. Therefore it is not a way, shape or form ;)

All systems being welcome means we cannot exclude one for the benefit of the other. Meaning I am entitled to come in and also say "X game is on PC", and I cannot be held in the wrong for that. Therefore "Console Exclusive" does not work.

Things like graphics can't really be debated when things like Gears 2 is being compared to Crysis. You'd be blind to not know Crysis is better looking. Things like the quality of games can definitely be debated, though. PC is its own System.
