Back 4 Blood, Turtle Rock Studios’ upcoming Left 4 Dead successor, is strictly meant to be a multiplayer experience.

Its just tooOOoo many negatives to invest into B4B and this last desperate PR false hope is only placed there so their sick crap (MTX is good for them) wouldn't hurt B4B sales numbers.

From what I've seen, this game is an uninspired L4D clone that doesn't do anything particularly original or do what it does all that well. It's as generic as a horde shooter gets.

Well it's a game made by the creators of L4D who no longer have the rights to the name and made a spiritual succesor so I guess that this was to be expected?

It is to be expected, but my main point was the solo playing issue.

Except they didn't have Valve this time around to polish their gameplay for them. Turtle Rock had a great idea with L4D, but Valve polished it to the classic that it is.
