Left 4 Dead Will Have No Demo Before Launch

By Joe Haygood | May 15, 2008

While not unusual for Valve on the PC, it is strange for a game to be lacking a pre-release demo on the 360.  But Valve has come out and stated that they will not have a demo before the launch of the new co-op zombie fest, Left 4 Dead.

When asked about the lack of a launch demo, Doug Lombardi of Valve had this to say, “We’ve always taken the risk that there will be big enough demand at launch and then we can create more demand post-launch with the demo.”

He also was asked about whether there would be 99 achievements in Left 4 Dead, but they said that Microsoft allowed them to have extra achievements in the Orange Box, due to five games being in the box.  Thanks to reader, Ryan King for sending in the link to the full interview at UK OXM
