Back 4 Blood is basically Left 4 Dead 3

Left 4 Dead 3 was one of the oft-rumored Valve projects that hasn't come to be. But who cares: some of the creators of the original Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock Studios, are basically making an unofficial sequel in Back 4 Blood, which debuted gameplay footage at The Game Awards this evening.

Turtle Rock's Chris Ashton openly acknowledged, emphasizing that the new game will, more playable characters, more missions, more story, and a bigger variety of zombies than Left 4 Dead. Those aren't particularly high bars, as the first two L4Ds featured four survivors and about eight "special infected."

Another notable difference from the footage is aim-down-sights, which L4D didn't feature, having been originally built on Counter-Strike's weapon set.

We'll see more of the game before the end of the year: a gameplay livestream is set for December 17th.
