Nice trailer. I am surprise it went to other consoles with all the hype for Wii that HVS gave to it. Guess it must be because of the lackluster sales of The Conduit.

[FireWarrior]

Oh that's a shame. I was hoping that the Wii could retain the exclusive deal since it really needs them. Not surprised though since the hardcore audience on the Wii is minimal at best and sales of The Conduit being lackluster. Oh well guess this will give more people a chance to play the game now.

I can understand why the game is going multi platform, but it seems that some 360 and PS3 users will say, "Lame! This is a Left 4 Dead ripoff!":sad:

[Psychopulse]

That absolutely bites... :(

[Shawn Hopkins]

I don't see what's so disappointing about more people getting to play it. Sounds like it's better for everyone to me.

Its great to hear about a release date...But there goes the exclusive title for this.

Releasing it on the 360 is iffy since it's going to go against Left 4 Dead 2 (or 3 for all we know). It might be perfect for PS3 owners though since Valve seems to have no plans on putting Left 4 Dead on Sony's system.

I'd say it's good for Wii-only owners too but first we have to see if they actually buy it.

[Desensitized]

(or 3 for all we know)Don't do that. :p

I don't really care either way about this news. First I want to see how well it turns out.

Yeah, like they could have done for Mass Effect 2

Exclusivity is annoying and kills developers. Just stick to bells and whistles, consoles.

One thing worth noting is that if this game hadn't gone multiplatform, there's a possibility it might have been canceled and never have been published for any console, even the Wii. Being multiplatform might help make it more profitable than similar Wii-only efforts like The Conduit or Madworld since this type of game is more popular on the other consoles, so at least this way it actually comes out.
