Resident Evil e Left 4 Dead se encontram (mais ou menos)

Resident Evil e Left 4 Dead se encontram em explosivo game para PC.

Resident Evil e Left 4 Dead, as duas franquias de terror (ou de zumbis?) da Capcom e da Valve estão para receber uma atualização grátis, apenas aos usuários de PC que possuam Resident Evil 6 ou Left 4 Dead 2.

Não é um jogo novo, é só uma atualização que permitirá usar personagens de Resident Evil 6 em Left 4 Dead 2 e vice-versa… Imagino que para os fãs das duas franquias seja legal mas… fala sério, qual é a real ideia disso? Se fosse algo para aprimorar os jogos em um modo cooperativo seria extremamente divertido. Agora só para ver a cada de um no focinho do outro, é bom isso?

Fique com o vídeo da carnificina podre de gente morta. Eca.

Para os consoles? Nada de Resident Evil e Left 4 Dead sem encontrando, convenhamos, é mais complicado mesmo nos consoles por se tratar de diversas publishers diferentes com normas diferentes. Então se você quer ver mesmo o encontro de Resident Evil e Left 4 Dead você precisa ter os dois jogos para PC.

Abaixo você confere o press release oficial, em inglês.

Capcom and Valve are pleased to announce the Resident Evil® 6 x Left 4 Dead 2 project. This crossover project between two of the interactive entertainment industry’s most respected publishers will see characters from Left 4 Dead™ 2 featured exclusively in the forthcoming PC version of Resident Evil® 6, while enemies from Resident Evil 6 will invade the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2. All content will be made available completely free for fans of either game to access and play.

Owners of Resident Evil 6 PC will be able to select one of four survivors from Left 4 Dead 2’s iconic cast – Coach, Nick, Ellis and Rochelle – when playing PC exclusive mode, The Mercenaries No Mercy. Each character will have a special customized weapon load-out created just for use in Resident Evil 6. In addition to the four survivors, two of the infamous Special Infected zombies from the Left 4 Dead franchise – the Witch and Mini Tank – will also make a cameo appearance in this mode, relentlessly attacking players regardless of whether a character from Left 4 Dead 2 or Resident Evil 6 is chosen. This new and exclusive content will automatically be downloaded in the background to all owners of the PC version of Resident Evil 6 from April 5.

Making the leap to the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be some of Resident Evil 6’s most fearsome enemies – Lepotitsa, Napad and Ogroman. All three characters were brought to life in Left 4 Dead 2 by Valve’s renowned developers using its Steam Workshop tools. Owners of the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be able to face a new deadly challenge when Resident Evil 6 characters infect Valve’s classic zombie title this spring.

Commenting on the crossover project, Chet Faliszek from Valve stated: “We’re huge Resident Evil fans, so when the opportunity arose to work directly with Capcom to combine L4D2 and RE6, we jumped at it.”

Resident Evil 6 Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi added: “The Resident Evil 6 team really enjoyed working on this crossover, and we’re confident that our fans will have a great time with it too! We hope you enjoy this unique content.”
