Looks like they're encouraging RE6-themed mods too:

Nah, goes down differently.
They put a 3 up at their website and everyone goes mental for a few weeks, speculating on Half-Life 3, Team Fortress 3, Left 4 Dead 3 and Portal 3.
E3 comes along and Valve are having a large keynote. Gabe walks out to rapturous applause, but then proceeds to talk about Steam, Source engine developments, gaming economics and all sorts of things that have nothing to do with new games.
At the end of his speech everyone begrudgingly applauds him and he walks off stage.
All lights go out, murmurs circulate around the crowd and gradually start getting louder. People start shouting and getting excited.
Suddenly a giant '3' slowly fades on to the screen and Gabe jumps up out of the floor like Michael Jackson at the Superbowl.
"New Half-Life, New Portal, New Left 4 Dead, New Team Fortress, Santa Claus is real, he's in our booth and he's giving out fucking handjobs.
Valve, bitches!
We out."
Drops the mic, walks off stage.
The Internet explodes.

Attention about what?
I'm just saying that after seeing this alliance makes my expectations to zero to think that RE 7 (or reboot) will be never be a Survival Horror game again.

Just bought L4D2 on Steam. I'm ready.
I wish they would've went with the L4D1 cast instead, since I enjoyed them more. Since you play in Mercenaries No Mercy, it would have been cool if they made a mercenaries map surrounding the first L4D campaign No Mercy. But whatever, I am excited to try RE6 on PC. This is just a bonus.

I can't believe I'm buying resident evil 6. Wish this was revelations instead.

Those screenshots of the Witch going after Leon seems really appropriate considering his luck with women.

Is No Mercy still SP only in RE6? Because I would love to play it in co-op, especially with the L4D2 cast.

All of the L4D levels are in L4D2, no?
Also, I hope Ogroman appears in the cornfields in Hard Rain. Imagine seeing him lumber across the fields...

I would preorder the shit out of that.

It is. But remember that the mode was also SP in RE5 and yet modders found the way to make it co-op, so have faith

I am by no means the biggest fan of Valve games or the Resident Evil franchise.
By oh my God that's a brilliant idea. This is one of those things that seems too genius to be considered by a video game companies instead of the fans anymore.
If companies keep having amazing crossover ideas like this. I hope the crossover trend doesn't stop.
Also, a both a PC gamer and major fan of Japanese games, this sort of thing couldn't possibly be more culturally relevant to me. This is Capcom doing meaningful work with the biggest name in PC gaming ever.
If Capcom would follow this up with giving the Mega Man franchise more love. I would be pretty happy. I'd just love a new Mega Man game on Steam.

Cool. I'm still waiting for a price drop before buying though.

Is it weird that this is the ONLY reason I decided to actually buy this game? I was actually going to pass.

How the hell is Ogroman going to work in Left 4 Dead 2? He's as big as a three-story building! My original thought was that the special infected skins for L4D2 were just going to be skin swaps (and it is possible), but based on some of the stuff they said in the video interview and the announcement, I think they actually might be unique special infected. In the video interview on the Capcom channel asked what was his favorite additions from RE6 to L4D2 was, he mentioned he thinks people will really like how Ogroman is featured. The three monsters coming from RE6 don't really function like any of the L4D2 monsters, so I guess they're going to be more than skins.
Also interesting to see the L4D2 elements in the PC-exclusive mode. I was already fairly excited for this mode, but this definitely adds to that. Wonder how the Witch and Tank will work, and if the L4D2 cast will have for taunts and the like.
RE6 is a flawed game, but I quite liked its monsters. There's a lot of points and I can definitely understand that people would dislike about RE6, but its monsters are an exception. Most seemed to enjoy them too in the OP.
L4D2 is getting three new special infected.
I was wondering the same thing, though when I was talking about this with some friends they suggested that it might work for the finales, as all the finales have more open space

Do you have a link confirming this to be true? I haven't heard anything from Capcom about it.

I doubt it. They'll just be skins. I'll be pissed if the first new infected Valve bothers to add are RE6 themed, one of which is made of boobs and has "tits" in the name.

The monster you're trying to make fun of is actually pretty brutal, but that's a whole other topic entirely. But the reason I think they may be is because of the small media we have on the Left 4 Dead 2 portion, including this:
In the Capcom Unity video interview, the director behind RE6 says that his favorite RE6 addition to L4D2 is how they featured Ogroman in the game (the giant monster).
It is possible though, while not entirely accurate the Lepotitsa could be a Smoker, for example, though the problem is the Lepotitsa doesn't really have a long tongue, its main method of attack is through harmful gas that it emits, and that it can grab you with its claws and nom on your face. The Napad could possibly work as a Charger, but then the Napad only rarely charges and its main point is that it has a really tough protective shell and moves pretty slowly, but packs a punch. And Ogroman is just a giant.
My guess is that they're going to be modified Infected. I can see some of their functions being taken from other Infected, but modified... Like, Lepotitsa might be somewhat Smoker-like, but maybe with more of a focus on gas than its tongue, and Napad might be like a slower charger, but with a lot more health and a more powerful punch.

They will not change the mechanics of a 4 year old game for a third party tie in. Ogroman will be a Tank, Lepotitsa will be a Boomer, and Napad will be a Charger
How will Ogroman be a tank? By his very design he's, like, 30 feet tall.
I mean, if they're going to go that route, there's probably another monster they could use.

Well can you see Valve taking the time to code a 30 feet monster? For a third party tie in? They haven't really added anything new outside of skins if you think about it.
If they're going to include Ogroman, a 30-foot-tall monster, then yes, I think they'll code a 30-foot monster!

Then that will be awesome, but it's a shame it took a stale "survival horror" franchise for Valve to substantially update their game that they once promised TF2 level support for
- There's a free benchmark here: http://www.geforce.com/games-applications/pc-games/resident-evil-6
- new and exclusive mode, The Mercenaries: No Mercy takes fan favorite The Mercenaries and ramps up the gameplay even further. More enemies on screen than ever before will provide a greater challenge, but also the opportunity for players to use their skills to rack up even higher combo scores!
- Both digital and physical versions will include the following features, which were added to the console versions in post-launch title updates: access to Ada Wong’s campaign from the outset along with the option to play this campaign with a co-op partner, and the ability to fine tune the in-game camera. As with the console releases, players of the PC version will also be able to take advantage of ResidentEvil.net.
- playable Left for Dead 2 characters in Mercenaries mode.
- steamworks, achievements etc.
