Valve's Left 4 Dead made an appearance at Electronic Arts' E3 Media Briefing today and left a promising impression in an otherwise over represented genre.

Left 4 Dead looks like a typical horror survival game on the surface. A band of humans are under attack by swarms of mutated beings and must blast them to hell to survive. You've all been there and done that countless times over.

Where Valve aims to set Left 4 Dead apart from the pack is in its user experience, or how the game adjusts on the fly based on the user's skill level.

The example used to demonstrate this new "Director" technology saw a group of four humans go up against a couple mutants at a gas station. This particular band of humans had played extremely poorly together as a team up until this point.

The second example replayed the same scenario only the band of humans were controlled by, shall we say, more coordinated and capable players. The game's Director feature detected the band was capable of laying a smack down on its own AI, so it automatically change the scenario to exponentially beef up the number of enemies. As a reward for the experienced players, the gas station ignites into a fireball where it stayed intact for the "newbs."

Left 4 Dead is now confirmed to be coming to Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11.

Wow I thought it was a pc and 360 exclusive.

This is awesome! I haven't been keeping up on it, cuz I sold my 360 and most sites had it listed as 360/PC only. Now I'm excited again!

Lol I'm pretty sure Valve always had the intention of making it multi platform. Otherwise it really wouldn't have been on any console at all. This is good news for PS3 owners, L4d is my favorite unreleased game for 2008.

This is no Final Fantasy, but I'll gladly welcome another new game being released for ps3. Their difficulty scale system is pretty interesting.

That's awesome.

I think I will get it for the 360 though, because of Xbox Live. There is nothing I can't stand more than playing co-op with people that aren't talking.

And so my reasons for keeping my defunct 360 shink further still!
Was keeping it for Left4Dead and Mass Effect 2, 3, 4 etc (Although I am sure EA will fudge them up) but with L4D now coming to PS3 that is one reason less.
