《求生之路》开发往事：重塑网游世界，一款真正鼓励玩家合作的射击游戏
《求生之路》（Left 4 Dead）自2008年发售以来，已经过去了15年。然而，这款游戏的编剧切特·费利泽克（Chet Faliszek）仍然清晰地记得，当时V社联合创始人加布·纽维尔（Gabe Newell）亲自撰写邮件，向他介绍他与Turtle Rock Studios创始人迈克·布斯（Mike Booth）认识的那个下午——2005年9月7日，下午1点10分。
费利泽克在2005年加入V社时，还是公司新人，并且非常欣赏布斯。他说：“无论是以前还是将来，如果迈克·布斯说他明天推出一款游戏，那我肯定会买。”纽维尔想让他以顾问身份参与开发一款由V社资助、Turtle Rock操刀、项目代号名为“Terror”的新游戏。
如今，费利泽克决定聊聊《求生之路》开发期间一些鲜为人知的幕后故事。这款游戏是历史上首款真正鼓励玩家合作的射击游戏，推动了当时网游领域的一次巨大转变。随后几年间，“光环”“战争机器”“使命召唤”等大型FPS系列都推出了自己的“合作生存”模式，但《求生之路》给这个至今仍然流行的概念留下了不可抹灭的印记。

Content: The Development History of “Left 4 Dead”: Reshaping the Online Gaming World, a Truly Encouraging Cooperative Shooter Game
It has been 15 years since the release of “Left 4 Dead” (2008). However, Chet Faliszek, the game’s writer, still vividly remembers the day when V-Founder Gabe Newell personally wrote an email to introduce him to the afternoon he met with Mike Booth, the founder of Turtle Rock Studios – September 7, 2005, at 1:10 pm.
When Faliszek joined V-Founders in 2005, he was a newcomer to the company and greatly admired Booth. He said, “Whether in the past or in the future, if Mike Booth says he’s launching a game tomorrow, I’ll definitely buy it.” Newell wanted him to participate as a consultant in developing a new game funded by V-Founders, developed by Turtle Rock and codenamed “Terror.”
Now, Faliszek has decided to share some lesser-known behind-the-scenes stories from the development of “Left 4 Dead.” This game was the first shooter game in history that truly encouraged player cooperation, pushing forward a huge shift in the online gaming world at that time. In the following years, major FPS series such as “Halo”, “Gears of War”, and “Call of Duty” all launched their own “cooperative survival” modes, but “Left 4 Dead” left an indelible mark on this concept that is still popular today.
