The Green Box?

[RobInactive]

What are you thoughts about the likelyhood of valve packageing l4d with a new green box or some sort? Perhaps with l4d, episode 3, portal 2? and perhaps some other low key source mod? Just I'm contemplating buying L4D, or wether to wait untill a package like this comes out, but i don't want to wait too long to play L4D. What are you guys gonna do, and what do you reckon that they will do in regards to packages?

The plot line for Episode 3 was not finalized until Feb 08. With a Nov 08 release of L4D I would not hold my breath for a packaged release. Portal 2 casting calls were held in Jun 08 which means development is still underway.

If they plan on releasing L4D soon then I would not expect a combo deal w/ those games. That does not mean that they won't package it with other games.

IGN has some good links for each game:

Ya a package deal doesnt seem likely, would be nice. I mean look at the orange box, easily one of the greatest game deals ive ever gotten.

Personally im gonna be busy with LittleBigPlanet. So the launch of L4D will probably fly right over my head, and then ill pick it up like a week after release.
Im excited about it, but i like to take my time with games.

Yeah, I agree with Deacon as well. I am highly anticipating all three titles though. Especially episode three. I hope they finish out the best FPS series in history right.

it could be in the distance future(like 2 years) but now I wouldn't hold my breath.
However I will say that it will probably be added to the valve complete pack and raise the price of that pack like 10$

Its a little to early but I really look forward to Portal 2

Jeez IGN simply has terrible pages for games that haven't come out yet. Convoluted messes. I'd try out GiantBomb's page on Portal 2, has a fair bit of information.
