When "Left 4 Dead" game franchise was a launched back in 2008, the video game caught fire and was considered a very popular commodity among committed and casual gamers.

The first-person-shooter-formatted game became extremely trendy that a sequel was released the following year (2009) causing a divide in the reaction of gamers as reported by eurogamer.net.

The eurogamer.net article on the haste as to when the sequel came out revealed that the reason for such was that the work required for the creation of a new version was less meticulous compared to the making of, for example, a game like "Half-Life."

"It really depends on the kind of game you're trying to build. When you're making a 'Half-Life 2' sort of game, you're hand-stitching every moment of the gameplay: the scripted sequences, the dialogue, the close-ups. With a multiplayer game, there're different criteria: weapons, sounds, levels and things like that, but you don't have a lot of this really arduous hand-stitching that you have to go through on single-player," said Valve Vice President of Marketing Doug Lombardi.

"Then there's just the amount of people you have working on it, and the number of good ideas that are just slam-dunks," he added. "There wasn't a lot of testing involved in, 'Shall we put a frying pan in?' Yes! We don't need to test that."

The third installment of the "Left 4 Dead" franchise, however, has not yet been released. It has been more than seven years after the second sequel.

Experss.co.uk has reported, nonetheless, that the "Left 4 Dead 3" is believed to have been given a release date on 2017.

Reports on "Left 4 Dead 3's" developments were confirmed by a gamespot.com article on Minh Le, one of "Left 4 Dead's" original developers, making a statement on the latest title's appearance.

"It wouldn't be any news if I said yes, I saw it. It looks great," said Minh Le.
