:The trailer is all pre-rendered sadly. As of all the "Meet The Team" videos too. However L4d can cast more shadows based on the flashlights, thats as far as has been seen.--[[User:MrTwoVideoCards|Gear]] 19:40, 1 Nov 2008 (PDT)

I think it might be a good idea to leave demo and game the release date information in the main article, at least through NovemberIt might help prevent questions being added here and to the forums, maybe even save Valve a few emails as well. --[[User:Brandished|brandished]] 22:43, 11 Nov 2008 (PST)

Dynamic Shadows

I was just watching the 5 minute opening cinimatic for Left 4 Dead, and I noticed multiple dynamic shadows. Actually, it seems like the entire lighting system has been advanced... Can't wait. --CorporalAris 7:58, 1 Nov 2008 (GMT -6)

The trailer is all pre-rendered sadly. As of all the "Meet The Team" videos too. However L4d can cast more shadows based on the flashlights, thats as far as has been seen.--Gear 19:40, 1 Nov 2008 (PDT)
No, none of them are pre-rendered. They use more advanced animations, but they are filmed from the engine. --CorporalAris 10:21, 4 Nov 2008 (GMT -6)
