Odds are you’ve wandered into the local antique shop.
WellI, friends, am that bellyacher.
Here I stand at the “bar”, gesticulating wildly over my non-existent glass.
In this scenario, the confused bartender/antique shop owner is Turtle Rock, developers ofLeft 4 DeadhomageBack 4 Blood.
I guess we should talk about the Back 4 Blood 2 rumour first.
On hisiStunt page, Hutch mentions that he’s “lead performer” on “Gobi 2”.
The original Back 4 Bloodis listed as “Gobi” on SteamDB.
I learned about all this viaMP1st, who note that somebodyregistereda domain for back4blood2.com back in May 2023.
Tangential observation: stuntpeople resumes make colourful reading.
Hutch’s feats include “Misery Style Kidnap Escape” in the movie House Of Terror.
He also did “Frat Guy/Massive Puking/Backflips” in Scary Movie 3.
Did… did he have to puke and backflip simultaneously?
I guess I’ll have to watch Scary Movie 3.
Colour all this speculation for the moment, but it seems reasonably solid.
Now, let me re-commence whinging.
I will only add that I really hated the very non-L4D-ish emphasis on hoarding and customising weapons.
Evolve had its share of gun-massaging.
It was also nakedly DLC-driven and hada very grindy unlocks system.
I had a lot of fun as the Goliath, Evolve’s starting beastie.
Sadly, Evolve is no longer officially available on PC.
Come on, Turtle Rock.
You could get Jesse Hutch to play the new Goliath.
He’s got the biceps for it.
Perhaps the backflip puke could be one of his special attacks.
In the absence of such a prospect, IguessI’ll keep an eye out for Back 4 Blood 2.

“Not just because many of the enemies have the same texture as a fully loaded pizza.”
