Chet Faliszek, co-lead and writer on Left 4 Dead 2, says that Valve solicited bands and record labels for the sequel, but Depeche Mode was one of the few who responded.Īnd it appears they responded in a big way, with Faliszek explaining to us at Comic-Con that the band was very free with letting Valve use its likeness, its audio recordings, and, obviously, its t-shirts in the game. But that Depeche Mode cameo is intentional and it’s authorised. Surely, I thought, when first seeing the band’s likeness and logo emblazoned on her tee, that wouldn’t last very long. No prices have been announced at this time, though the PC/Mac version is likely to be free."The zombie apocalypse isn’t where one expects to find product placement, so it was a little surprising to see Rochelle, one of the new Survivors in Left 4 Dead 2, sporting a pink Depeche Mode t-shirt. The Sacrifice will be released in October 2010 for the PC, Mac and Xbox 360. Hey Ranters, do you think you’ll be making a music video for the Midnight Riders, or are you just waiting to get your hands on the DLC? I can’t wait to kick back with some popcorn and check out what people come up with. The best part is that all of the entries will be posted on YouTube. However, I still think this contest will be amazing. To be honest, I don’t really like the song. As we have seen with ModNation Racers and LittleBigPlanet, when gamers are given a chance to be creative they can do insanely wonderful and inspiring things.
Although it is a Sony tagline, “Play, Create, Share” is becoming more and more common in gaming. So you choose what’s in the video- THERE ARE NO STINKING RULES!” “Well, the band would have wanted this contest to have no rules. Although an mp3 of the song is available on the official contest page, the best part of the contest are the rules. The deadline for the contest is October 1st, 2010. There are no details about the contents of the gift pack, but I’m sure it will not disappoint. The winner will get a guitar signed by the Midnight Riders and a gift pack from Valve. Now Valve wants you to make your own, and post it to YouTube. To celebrate the band’s debut in Left 4 Dead 1, Valve is asking fans of the franchise to make their own music video for the song.Īccording to legend, the original music video by the band was lost. The upcoming DLC for Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, The Sacrifice will feature the song Save Me Some Sugar by the Midnight Riders. We have good news for budding filmmakers and all of you creative types: Valve is holding a contest that could be your big break, or at least win you some cool stuff.
