L4D mod ‘Dead Before Dawn’ recreates Dawn of the Dead remake

November 3rd, 2009

The Left 4 Dead modding community is really kicking decomposing zombie butt lately. We've seen Raccoon City, some of our favorite Super Mario 64 spots, and even Shaun of the Dead's Winchester pub all realized in the game's zombie apocalypse framework. Now we bring you another mod that pays homage to a zombie film: 'Dead Before Dawn,' a mod based on the 2004 remake of George A. Romero's classic, Dawn of the Dead.

The new mod opened to public beta this Halloween and features a variety of locales stripped from the movie, along with its own snazzy campaign poster. The folks behind the mod even went so far as to create their own title sequence (though their version features far less Johnny Cash than the movie's). You can shamble on past the break to check it out.

[Thanks, Gutfree!]

“Dead Before Dawn” Mod Guaranteed to Hit on Halloween [Mods]

October 11th, 2009

News to some, friendly reminder to others, but the Left 4 Dead mod "Dead Before Dawn," a mall-based homage to "Dawn of the Dead," is no ordinary mod. Valve sent the makers a soundfile of Francis saying "I hate malls."

Anyway, "Dead Before Dawn" hits on Oct. 31. The modmakers are working feverishly, and promise that they will put something out on Halloween.

In the event that we do not see our finale up to scratch for release, we will NOT postpone the release. We promised you a halloween release date, a halloween release date is what your going to get. If this does happen, maps 1 - 5 will be released and an update for the campaign containing the finale will be released shortly after.

Further, yes, that is a fifth character in the poster; yes, he is C.J. head of Crossroads Mall security, and yes, he is playable.

You can see tons more screens at the link. It seriously looks like one hell of a great mod.
