Left 4 Dead DLC coming soon?
BY Scott Posey Dec. 30th, 2008 More on:

In a video podcast on Kotaku, Chet Faliszek, one of Valve’s writers on Left 4 Dead, let out some interesting news on the future of the game. According to Faliszek, Valve is currently working on new scenarios for both the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game as well as incorporating the remaining two scenarios into the versus mode (Dead Air and Death Toll).

Faliszek also revealed that unlike Team Fortress, Valve is working to release the DLC simultaneously for both platforms. Which is a nice change as in the past free updates via Steam arrived relatively quickly while the 360 users had to wait it out. No pricing information has been released for the 360 DLC, but Faliszek assures that an announcement will be made soon. Just cross your fingers that Valve’s wishes hold true and the DLC will be available free of charge for both systems. Might want to cross those fingers on both hands, actually.

For those of you out there who bought Left 4 Dead for the 360, if Microsoft indeed does decide to charge for the content, will you buy it? Will you switch over to the PC version and get it for free, maybe start an online riot should you not get the same treatment as PC gamers? Or will you just swallow your pride because the game is just that good?

      if the DLC isn’t free on pc there will be an uproar and frankly if it isn’t then also free on 360 well:

      fuck microsoft with a large stick.

      Valve have yet to let us down on the pc side but they need to redeem themselves after the poor 360 experience of team fortress.

      come on valve!

      It’s not valve that needs to redeem themselves. If they had their way, the content would be free. It’s rules and regulations put in place by Microsoft that might make the content cost us our hard earned money. But, again, nothing has been said on the matter yet. There is a chance it could be free, we just have to wait until we hear the press release.

      All the (free) TF2 content that PC gamers have been getting should finally be coming to the 360 soon, too. For — and I’m purely guessing here — at least 400 MS Points. Which, you know, would really suck.

      Valve should just say screw MS and add all the content into a game update. Thus totally skipping over the marketplace

      Yeah, I’m not sure why they don’t. Must be some sort of fine print in the distribution agreement. How did Burnout get away with all that free content for Paradise City though?
