The horrifying part about the special infected is that.. the mutation chances could and would be realistically endless if we're taking into account the cut special infected.. There would be literally no limit to what we would see the green flu turn people into. We are looking at horrors beyond human comprehension.
@@reggyjohnson9083 The devs proposed that there could be infected animals, like the hell hound or the rat man, who holds infected rats in his chest like a boomer. But ideas were scrapped sadly
@@americanpatriot436t54 Not saying the specials we have already are entirely realistic, but they are in the scope of realism, mutations that are born from the human body, which is why I think specials like the Ratman were cut because how many random infected are getting swarms of rats that stay in their bodies.
Felt bad for malik considering he was basically the last survivor of his squadron. and essentially got himself starring in a 'will he get out with his life' scenario. Shame he couldn't get the gas cans in time to drive the jimmy gibbs junior
Good thing in the "Summary" video, there were 3 three people who made it out alive. It's tragic that Malik wasn't as lucky. Along with sixteen other deceased members of the clearing unit. Because the unit comprised of 20 people. I am not sure about Klara Bacall from the Claws video. Most likely she was killed as well.
@@davidbailey6917 Which is weird, because i tought Malik was one of those 3, and in thay case, did the other 3 survivors escape after the rescue squad left?.
So, my theory is-like 28 Days later-the majority of Infected burn themselves out or starve. Commons tend to be seen vomiting up blood, bile, etc, they never eat or drink, they sometimes hit each other or just stumble around when inert. In the comics, we also see that as you're infected, you start seeing non-infected as monsters, demons, horrible hallucinations. But the Starers, Whispers, and Claws are all clearly mutations that SURVIVE. They eat, they drink, they're intelligent enough to keep themselves alive and live semi-coherently as a group. I bet other Specials have grouped up into hives-Witches around sugars, Smokers and Boomers and Spitters in sewers, packs of Hunters and Jockeys roaming around rooftops together. The only ones I'm not so sure of are Tanks, given how rare they seem to be, and Chargers. Chargers always seemed like they were half-finished, like there was a process that was yet to be complete for them. Imagine a Tank with a Bundle of Chargers that follow it around like the Alpha of a Gorilla community...
I feel like tanks would operate like bears. They live isolated and alone for most of the time. Eating a lot at one time and then resting. Whenever a tank event happens, you've simply disturbed a bear's rest.
We've seen special infected band together before if the old Passing trailer is any indication. I imagine Hunters would work in roaming packs that might make nests in high places or hard to reach places after successful hunts. Perhaps they'd mutate further into being really good at grabbing and carrying their prey away to shred up then just ripping them to shreds after pouncing on them. A more disturbing mutation I could think of for them is have them operate more like a shrike were instead of tearing up someone manually they grab them and impale them on something near their nest. Smokers I imagine would hang out in pairs with Spitters. They would set up traps with their tongues and the Spitter would then melt the unlucky survivor after they get dragged away after the trap is sprung. Think like a trapdoor spider kind of thing with a Spitter also lying in wait with him. Witches are as you said, I think they would hang out near sugar mills or any other sugary locations. I actually think ''Claws'' is probably a male mutation of them mixed with a Starer. Perhaps a Claws functions as a special infected that would silently hunt for other special infected colonies that don't usually get people that run into them often. So a Claws may pop up and start hunting and protecting a Starer Colony or Witch colony and they will share the unlucky survivors they catch and kill. Whispers would also I think be good at luring someone into a colony. Boomers I am not sure about. I actually think they'd die out quickly with lack of commons to help them. Either that or they would maybe mutate into being able to draw special infected of all types to their locations instead. A rare Boomer vomiting on you in that case could easily be a death sentence as that means every Hunter, Smoker, and so on could see you in a large radius. Even just a little bit of vomit being unaccounted for on your body or cloths would still mean you'd be getting hunted for a scary amount of time by the other SIs. Perhaps have them being far quieter and patient to compensate for the lack of commons. Tanks with a horde of Chargers following them would be scary af. Treat it like migrations really that CEDA needs to keep an eye on as a charger horde with a tank as the head means anyone in their way is probably fucked if they don't get out of dodge. I am not sure about Jockeys. They could also work with Hunters like you said but Jockeys don't seem to jump very high so I don't think they'd have the easiest time keeping up with them. Maybe have it be like Jockeys also hang out in packs or hordes which you can usually hear coming by their constant laughing? The danger with them maybe being like they mutated a way were they have developed claws that they can use to get themselves stuck into you as they ride you so removing them isn't easy as punting them off. Maybe jockey horde will ''play'' with anyone they catch via forming a ring around them and basically tearing chunks out of them or riding them around until they stop moving with them collectively laughing madly at the poor survivor the entire time. Also speaking of cut special infected. I wonder if the Screamer is around? They could be a alarm system for any colony. Ratman and Meatwall would also be interesting. I'd see Ratmen working with the Boomer maybe, the Boomer blinds and the Ratman's infected rats will overwhelm you in a skittering horde. Meatwall could be part of a tank and charger horde.
The Tanks are most likely all dead because of heart failure. In game if a Tank goes too long without hitting a survivor then it just straight up dies of a heart attack from the stress of being too angry.
Claws looks like a cut special infected, the one with the long fingers and has a long face. Perhaps in this universe the cut special infected are still out there, meaning the Meatwall and Rat man could be still there.
Claws is a cut special infected that finally sees the light of day. Meat wall and the Rats could still be out there somewhere. I wonder if Claws is like that Skull-faced infected in Apostle07's video.
Thats because he WAS the cut infected. Rat man could possibly be a variant of the starer. and the meatwall in this could possibly become a evolution of the tank
Malik is a fucking trooper ngl, bro couldn't have lived though, unfortunately. The Pick-up crew could've kept a lookout at the entrance to guarantee he would make it, that would've probably helped him make it out, he was so close. RIP Malik my boy

@@jimmy_senpai7839Hey, I do really wonder what Whisperers Starers and Claws would look like in the game itself, like, their behaivors and health, etc.
Honestly its nice to see Claws make an appearance (or not fucking terrifying) love the fact we still have many questions like why is the mall hosting these infected? and why did it take CEDA this long to find them? Heh maybe the nests leader is jimmy Gibbs jr himself. also dimaaltalt Idea of the claw's being a male mutation of a witch is interesting if true and maybe whenever we see a witch crying its either sad that its partner claw died or is crying because its left to find food edit: thinking about it probably not but maybe a mutated witch? if it was a male version of the witch we would of seen it in the start of the outbreak or at least it would be documented before this footage
Ok so, as disgusting as what im proposing sounds, the infected are still alive and may be capable of procreation, claws could be the result of a witch and something else
I already wrote a comment about this, but taking Rochelle's response to the guy (basically telling him that he was f**d, with no hope of being saved, even if she then told him to find an exit) and every single other hint not just in this analog series but in the games themselves, then CEDA is definetly suspicious. Your comment made me think... What if they always knew about this nest, but didn't do anything about it for some reason?
@@Oúltimopríncipe They are not actual zombies if that was the case they would have all rotted but instead they are alive but they still feel pain like when you set them on fire.
idea for why they might not go outside and is kind of understandable the UV light. UV light can kill bacteria and also cause cancer but that last part isn't the problem the bacteria part is because if the claws are UV sensitive then that means 1 of 2 things. 1 they WHERE a carrier that died very slowly and that allowed the infection to get them or 2 they are just a very UV sensitive "infected"
Indeed the green flu is the most terrifying zombie virus, because L4D take a place 2 weeks after the first infection and we saw witch, smoker, boomer, hunter, and Tank. And in L4D2 which was 3 weeks after the first infection I guess more special infected appeared: Jockey, spitter, charger. Then imagine how many special infected will appear after like 6 months
The video is truly well done! The amount of detail and realism in this video has exceeded my expectations!! And that was a jump scare at the end of Malik's video. It actually got me!! I didn't expect Malik to die. I thought he would escape, and Claws would back off! RIP Malik
As a long time fan of Left 4 Dead, this is a very interesting concept of exploring the 'new world' after the years of infection. (I lost track but i think one of these videos takes place in 2015) And the animation and design for these new (or cut) SI are incredible to watch. I like the story you built up leading to the downfall that led to the events of the 1st and 2nd game, and what happens after those events. If more is planned, I will definitely be keeping an eye on this... Also how you pulled that sequence from 4:20 - 5:03 was FUCKING incredible. I'll never forget that entire scene.
You did an excellent job on this. The animation quality and your use of horror is very impressive. You've certainly come a long way and I can't wait to see more of this series!
it would make a lot of sense for the infected to mutate into stealth with the amount of infected or humans there is left this whole series feels like a genuine aftermath of what happened
I love this analog horror so much, with the survivors form the base game working with CEDA like Rochelle and Nick, still want information on what happened to Coach and Ellis, I see tons of good potential next episodes in the new season, and gory stuff and horror stuff like that, love to see it and get a scare, like a squad of 40 people going in there and finding Malik and the rest of the squads mutilated and slightly consumed body, as said the Claws plays with its food in the video, hope ill see more of this good content, good luck at it.
Your videos and the lore in each of them just keeps getting better and better! Keep up the amazing work, I'm loving to watch all the progress done here!
This series really means a lot to me, i've been a fan of analog horror for a while now, but this really clicked with me. It has some spelling errors and some kinks but this was still very enjoyable and it inspired to start creating something of my own. I'd love to see the remakes you are planning and whatever you come up with next. Great job.
What if claws are actually the guardians of starer colonies? From what we know, Claws are effectively just bulletproof. And they seem more combat effective than normal starers. And they hang around the same building. Idk, just a guess
Following the l4d2 logic i could theorize that obviusly claws Is hard to kill but it Is not inmortal like other special infected he may be bullet proof but he's Also not inmortal (I'm captain obviusly) but what about grenades like a Molotov, or maybe the special bullets like explosive or incendiary ammo or even the meeles That could really damage the claws
How Random People See Zombies: Scary, Horrifying,dreadful,and Hopeless That 4 survivors: fun,good jokes,coach menu request, Ellis stories,killin zombies fun and survive
Really good, malik calls a tad bit too much when he is in the mall though. Literally saying "I need to be stealthy to get out" which is like yeah duh no dip. It disturbs the tension and atmosphere of the mall which was really cool.
Claws seemingly smiling at Maliks suffering and continued toying with Malik. The person that Claws once was must have been one sadistic mf. I have no doubt in my mind that Claws always knew where he was but just wanted to toy with him for as long as it could. (This series is actually so cool, keep up the amazing work❤)
My theory is that the Starers are evolved Smokers, or at least a branch of Smokers due to them having similar deformities and preference to stalk targets (though that’s not of a Hunter trait.) the Claws are an evolved/male version of the Witch 100%. The only other special infected to have claws like that is the Hunter and it’s claws are too small (plus it runs from gunfire) So the Claws is definitely either an evolution of a Witch or a male form of the Witch that was never discovered due to it’s rarity and the Witch type being rare in general.
7:19 just got here, so based on how the claw was nearly sending that door off its hinges. It’s possible the claw is the thing that compromised the other escape room that failed the inspection. And 2. He said left hand was fricked? Had me confused since that’s clearly his right hand, unless the footage was mirrored? Since it’s a body cam
4:20 - 5:05 This... This sequence alone is perfect horror. No jumpscares, no excessive gore. Just the darkness and the slow realization that the monster was staring a few inches away from him this whole time. The reveal of the Claws' face sent chills down my spine. That's a great monster design right there, I don't know what it is that makes it work, if it's the smile, or the human-like teeth, or the combination of that with the small soulless beady eyes. Edit: Although, this video still has some elements that break the inmersion and the suspension of disbelief, like many others in this series. Mainly that Malik shouldn't be costantly mumbling out loud in this situtation. He knows he should be keeping f*king quiet (especially sinse he's supposed to be trained for these kinds of situations) otherwise he's basically announcing to all the infected in his vinicity that he's there. No wonder Claws followed him, he was giving him a trail of mumbles the entire time.
Trained or not they were not trained or prepared for this kind of threat you would be venting like him too if you knew that your entire team was wiped out in seconds.
I wonder where coach and Ellis are, there seems to be 2 organizations at play, CEDA and some other undisclosed org, this new CEDA thankfully kept Rochelle and Nick alive and im assuming coach and Ellis too
@@Plumber2414 or recovering something from riverside Im worried they may kill my boy since he doesnt really fit much into the horror aspect of this series
I do wonder how claws could fight against melee weapons, melee weapons in l4d2 are so busted that you could easily take a tank down in 3 seconds with a baton
Because its kinda realistic if you take some melee weapons, an axe being swinged at your head is a guaranteed kill, even more if the enemy is basically rotten meat
@@Partypooper038 tbf the tanks head is fairly small, I cant imagine it would resist an axe. This thing however, may be a different story, heck even its "neck" is fucking huge
Following the l4d2 logic i could theorize that obviusly claws Is hard to kill but it Is not inmortal like other special infected he may be bullet proof but he's Also not inmortal (I'm captain obviusly) but what about grenades like a Molotov, or maybe the special bullets like explosive or incendiary ammo or even the meeles
k now ik nobody mentions this but i love how the buildings are now overgrown and in ruin showing that the Americas have fallen to a massive degree to the point where their cities are now reclaimed by nature all because a damn cell wanted to troll humanity
A male witch? Interesting but kinda plain? Same with the Starer, interesting but feeling less compared to the other special infected, might be dipping a little to much into uncanny or mandela catalogue style horror here. Which has it place, but to me it doesn't meld well with left 4 dead. Kinda sad that the other infected aren't being shown much. It's their show to, we only have seen like one or two commons and a boomer. But I'm still looking forward to more. Oh, and nice job with the animations, really smooth and all.
"infected are still people" is right, they are still people, but they have zero regard for human life or their own life the stun grenade probably wouldn't cause that much of his hand to get fucked (I dunno tho) but he would've had tinnitus amongst other effects
desde perú , una maravilla de trabajo , inigualable , gracias por traernos este contenido que con tanto esfuerzo lo haces , para mi , tremenda obra maestra , nadie se atreve a crear trabajos de este calbbre , sinceramente , gracias por tu esfuerzo...
Now that I’m done, my theory is the claw, and the starer might be connected possibly hive mind like state, perhaps the starrer acts (besides being its own tough infected) as pawns for the claw. Which would explain why they can be docile at times. Maybe they’res no claw in the area so it leaves or perhaps it’s simply satisfyed. Got no idea but that’s my theory
L4D ARG: Pure dread, the survivors are extremely vulnerable, the infected are apex predators L4D Gameplay: Lets see if I can kill this tank with only a frying pan
Or maybe Claws is a male version of the Witch? Or maybe a female version of the Tank? Just saying we don't know if it's connected to the Starers at all.
@@NAHUUUUU824Q23 That's fair. I just think it's more with the Witch since unlike the Hunter a Witch doesn't immediately attack unless if it's shot or if you make it too mad and Claws behaved kinda similarly.
@@shotguntony4730 i mean, if you look at it right, hunter is "far" from the enemy some times to "flank" em or just attack infront, do i explain myself? + claws aint docile, they just expect you to lower your guard or attack after seing you for long enough
@@NAHUUUUU824Q23 Yeah I do get what you're saying but counterpoint he got right up in the soldier's face and just stared at him for several seconds (which actually might confirm he's a Starer mutation) instead of flat out attacking. A Hunter would've just immediately attacked while a Witch wouldn't have. Plus he probably keeps following the soldier because he detonated a stun grenade in Claws's face.
Claws seems to be the male version of a witch. I believe true clinical psychopaths get turned into it. Starers seem to be related to the Claws my guess is they are people who exbited Stalker like behaviours due to clinical conditions.
So Claws sounds like an evolved Tank or Hunter, maybe a mutation similar to both? Anyway, heavy rifle + Molotov combo should help at least, maybe melee too.
I would love this entire Analog Horror to be at Left 4 Dead 3! I mean, new mutations such as the Starer, Claws, etc. It's crazy that the Green Flu keeps evolving into something worse than the Special Infected in L4D2. I think it would be an amazing horror-action sequel. This analogue feels like its canon when I know it's not. Its so well written!
in payday the green flu became a completely different thing in the end, instead being more like a biological weapon being able to enhance the strength of anyone that's infected with it, but killing them shortly after
Hey will be there videos but about the first team?? (Zoey, Bill, Louis, Francis) Or about a dead body (basically Bill's sacrifice, not just a video about random dead body)
NGL if a L4D3 ever were to actually be released I hope that they somehow see this ARG and get inspired to make the two of these special infected in their game. the starer being like the version of the witch that can be avoided and Claws that acts like another version of the Tank that can randomly pop up in spots where a Tank would instead of the regular Tank.
The “Claws” kinda looks like one of the scrapped special infected L4D was going to have. idk if it was for L4D1 or L4D2 or if it was concept art. -10:46 -

I like the story you built up leading to the downfall that led to the events of the 1st and 2nd game, and what happens after those events. If more is planned, I will definitely be keeping an eye on this...
Also how you pulled that sequence from 4:20 - 5:03 was FUCKING incredible. I'll never forget that entire scene.
rest in peace Malik Summers, we are all so sorry for him to did not escape from ''Claws''
Fun fact: We would have been fighting claws in l4d2, but it was cut, thank Gabe Newman
insane episode omg
Watch your video
oh sick ur saw it
awesome vid
omg you're the video lady :0
Your video is the reason I am here
You did an excellent job on this. The animation quality and your use of horror is very impressive. You've certainly come a long way and I can't wait to see more of this series!
it would make a lot of sense for the infected to mutate into stealth with the amount of infected or humans there is left
this whole series feels like a genuine aftermath of what happened
5:03 is literally the most scariest thing I've ever seen
nigga BLEW the flashbang in his face
Bro this soilder should used minigun or 10 bombs to survive
Claws looked like it was smiling at Malik before that flashbang went off like it was taking pleasure from his suffering
It always smiles even in concept arts
2:57 finally got to see what’s back there, I remember these boxes in the mall before but I could not find him for the life of me
I love this analog horror so much, with the survivors form the base game working with CEDA like Rochelle and Nick, still want information on what happened to Coach and Ellis, I see tons of good potential next episodes in the new season, and gory stuff and horror stuff like that, love to see it and get a scare, like a squad of 40 people going in there and finding Malik and the rest of the squads mutilated and slightly consumed body, as said the Claws plays with its food in the video, hope ill see more of this good content, good luck at it.
I have to thank Marcelame for bringing this haunting series to my attention, i can't wait for more
Your videos and the lore in each of them just keeps getting better and better! Keep up the amazing work, I'm loving to watch all the progress done here!
I love this so much, I always had a head-canon that they would use carriers in the military. This whole series is super good I hope you keep going!!!
Malik was fucking built different
*thinks of my friend coach eating cheeseburgers*
"they can never make me scared of you, L4D"
YOOO QUALITY IS TOP TIERRR!!! thankyou for continuing on making this analogs, and Videos!!!
This series really means a lot to me, i've been a fan of analog horror for a while now, but this really clicked with me. It has some spelling errors and some kinks but this was still very enjoyable and it inspired to start creating something of my own. I'd love to see the remakes you are planning and whatever you come up with next. Great job.
What if claws are actually the guardians of starer colonies?
From what we know, Claws are effectively just bulletproof. And they seem more combat effective than normal starers. And they hang around the same building. Idk, just a guess
This is also the first time we see a starer hive this big.
Following the l4d2 logic i could theorize that obviusly claws Is hard to kill but it Is not inmortal like other special infected he may be bullet proof but he's Also not inmortal (I'm captain obviusly) but what about grenades like a Molotov, or maybe the special bullets like explosive or incendiary ammo or even the meeles
That could really damage the claws
How Random People See Zombies: Scary, Horrifying,dreadful,and Hopeless
That 4 survivors: fun,good jokes,coach menu request, Ellis stories,killin zombies fun and survive
Really good, malik calls a tad bit too much when he is in the mall though. Literally saying "I need to be stealthy to get out" which is like yeah duh no dip. It disturbs the tension and atmosphere of the mall which was really cool.
Claws seemingly smiling at Maliks suffering and continued toying with Malik. The person that Claws once was must have been one sadistic mf. I have no doubt in my mind that Claws always knew where he was but just wanted to toy with him for as long as it could. (This series is actually so cool, keep up the amazing work❤)
I loved this! I really liked the POV perspective and action, this was really well done!
The thought of being stuck in a mall full of extremely powerful monsters hiding in the shadows staring at you is horrifying.
5:27 dude could easily take the shotgun that was on that Safe room 🤓
Brother look at his hand its screwed and he cant use it bc you have hold it with two hand and only thing he can use is pistol its one hand gun
@huseyinmehri3381 ayo right, I hadn't paid attention to that.
My theory is that the Starers are evolved Smokers, or at least a branch of Smokers due to them having similar deformities and preference to stalk targets (though that’s not of a Hunter trait.) the Claws are an evolved/male version of the Witch 100%. The only other special infected to have claws like that is the Hunter and it’s claws are too small (plus it runs from gunfire) So the Claws is definitely either an evolution of a Witch or a male form of the Witch that was never discovered due to it’s rarity and the Witch type being rare in general.
Would be sick if your rendition of Liberty Mall ever got made into a campaign
i really like how you can see Malik's hand deform right as the flashbang explodes, very nice little detail
Dude this is so fucking awesome! You deserve a million views, everything is so well made, and that model is terrifying! Keep up the good work! ❤
7:19 just got here, so based on how the claw was nearly sending that door off its hinges. It’s possible the claw is the thing that compromised the other escape room that failed the inspection. And 2. He said left hand was fricked? Had me confused since that’s clearly his right hand, unless the footage was mirrored? Since it’s a body cam
brah they gotta get hunk in that mall to fuck them up lol
really good video!
4:20 - 5:05 This...
This sequence alone is perfect horror. No jumpscares, no excessive gore. Just the darkness and the slow realization that the monster was staring a few inches away from him this whole time.
The reveal of the Claws' face sent chills down my spine. That's a great monster design right there, I don't know what it is that makes it work, if it's the smile, or the human-like teeth, or the combination of that with the small soulless beady eyes.
Edit: Although, this video still has some elements that break the inmersion and the suspension of disbelief, like many others in this series. Mainly that Malik shouldn't be costantly mumbling out loud in this situtation. He knows he should be keeping f*king quiet (especially sinse he's supposed to be trained for these kinds of situations) otherwise he's basically announcing to all the infected in his vinicity that he's there. No wonder Claws followed him, he was giving him a trail of mumbles the entire time.
Trained or not they were not trained or prepared for this kind of threat you would be venting like him too if you knew that your entire team was wiped out in seconds.
@@C.A.M584 It's still frustrating to watch knowing that his mumbling is what attracted the Claws and he essentially got himself killed
Him mumbling is probably bc to keep himself calm and stop the panicking
down my spain
God, this is so good. I just discovered this channel today and have been watching all of the videos like a hawk. I can't wait for your next upload!
New ceda video just dropped
I wonder where coach and Ellis are, there seems to be 2 organizations at play, CEDA and some other undisclosed org, this new CEDA thankfully kept Rochelle and Nick alive and im assuming coach and Ellis too
Coach is said to be like training new recruits in Switzerland and Ellis is... Recovering from something in riverside
@@Plumber2414 or recovering something from riverside
Im worried they may kill my boy since he doesnt really fit much into the horror aspect of this series
@@whitehuntergaming7274 that or be so traumatized from smth there that he changes as a person to the very core
@@Plumber2414where was this said i wanna see
@@Sigismunddagoat in the description of authorised
i swear when i found out about this shit a week ago i fucking lost it when someone made a horror vhs tapes about left 4 dead i love this shit
I do wonder how claws could fight against melee weapons, melee weapons in l4d2 are so busted that you could easily take a tank down in 3 seconds with a baton
Because its kinda realistic if you take some melee weapons, an axe being swinged at your head is a guaranteed kill, even more if the enemy is basically rotten meat
@@Partypooper038 tbf the tanks head is fairly small, I cant imagine it would resist an axe. This thing however, may be a different story, heck even its "neck" is fucking huge
I propose this infected can counter melee attacks or straight up negate them, if you try to hit him, he'll just claw at you or throw you around
@@Oúltimopríncipeor it parries your attack and you are f*cked
Following the l4d2 logic i could theorize that obviusly claws Is hard to kill but it Is not inmortal like other special infected he may be bullet proof but he's Also not inmortal (I'm captain obviusly) but what about grenades like a Molotov, or maybe the special bullets like explosive or incendiary ammo or even the meeles
exploding a flashbang in your hand is such a badass move
k now ik nobody mentions this but i love how the buildings are now overgrown and in ruin showing that the Americas have fallen to a massive degree to the point where their cities are now reclaimed by nature all because a damn cell wanted to troll humanity
now this is peak, great work man
A male witch? Interesting but kinda plain? Same with the Starer, interesting but feeling less compared to the other special infected, might be dipping a little to much into uncanny or mandela catalogue style horror here. Which has it place, but to me it doesn't meld well with left 4 dead. Kinda sad that the other infected aren't being shown much. It's their show to, we only have seen like one or two commons and a boomer. But I'm still looking forward to more.
Oh, and nice job with the animations, really smooth and all.
Well, the claw was an unused infected in the actual game, and his function was being a "male witch", so actually he is sticking to the original source
This gave me chills ngl
Rewatching the video and just realised that Claws is a cut infected concept from the second game.
"infected are still people" is right, they are still people, but they have zero regard for human life or their own life
the stun grenade probably wouldn't cause that much of his hand to get fucked (I dunno tho) but he would've had tinnitus amongst other effects
this is frickin awesome
desde perú , una maravilla de trabajo , inigualable , gracias por traernos este contenido que con tanto esfuerzo lo haces , para mi , tremenda obra maestra , nadie se atreve a crear trabajos de este calbbre , sinceramente , gracias por tu esfuerzo...
It would be cool if the meat wall appears
Stunning work, keep it up!❤
Now that I’m done, my theory is the claw, and the starer might be connected possibly hive mind like state, perhaps the starrer acts (besides being its own tough infected) as pawns for the claw. Which would explain why they can be docile at times. Maybe they’res no claw in the area so it leaves or perhaps it’s simply satisfyed. Got no idea but that’s my theory
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES!!!
12:28 hahahaha. Thanks that means a lot. Wonderful watch and animation
L4D ARG: Pure dread, the survivors are extremely vulnerable, the infected are apex predators
L4D Gameplay: Lets see if I can kill this tank with only a frying pan
I think "Claws" Is a male mutation of the starer as stated in the video and the female mutation from a starer might be the witch we see in l4d
Or maybe Claws is a male version of the Witch? Or maybe a female version of the Tank? Just saying we don't know if it's connected to the Starers at all.
@@shotguntony4730 for me i specially think of "claws" as an "mutation" between starers and hunters, yk, hunters also have long claws
@@NAHUUUUU824Q23 That's fair. I just think it's more with the Witch since unlike the Hunter a Witch doesn't immediately attack unless if it's shot or if you make it too mad and Claws behaved kinda similarly.
@@shotguntony4730 i mean, if you look at it right, hunter is "far" from the enemy some times to "flank" em or just attack infront, do i explain myself? + claws aint docile, they just expect you to lower your guard or attack after seing you for long enough
@@NAHUUUUU824Q23 Yeah I do get what you're saying but counterpoint he got right up in the soldier's face and just stared at him for several seconds (which actually might confirm he's a Starer mutation) instead of flat out attacking. A Hunter would've just immediately attacked while a Witch wouldn't have. Plus he probably keeps following the soldier because he detonated a stun grenade in Claws's face.
Claws seems to be the male version of a witch. I believe true clinical psychopaths get turned into it. Starers seem to be related to the Claws my guess is they are people who exbited Stalker like behaviours due to clinical conditions.
vi que justo salio un nuevo video del creador y enserio no puedo esperar a que ya saques otro video
Dude that is SCARY as HELL lol, this is really great
Espera..
Si existe los claws...
Existirá la posibilidad de que exista el Meatwall?...
So Claws sounds like an evolved Tank or Hunter, maybe a mutation similar to both?
Anyway, heavy rifle + Molotov combo should help at least, maybe melee too.
So they're bullet proof... Time to start giving out haymakers.
the best part in specials is they evolved from a lifestile and threre's extreme varianty in zombies that way
Rest in Pieces Malik
I would love this entire Analog Horror to be at Left 4 Dead 3! I mean, new mutations such as the Starer, Claws, etc. It's crazy that the Green Flu keeps evolving into something worse than the Special Infected in L4D2. I think it would be an amazing horror-action sequel. This analogue feels like its canon when I know it's not. Its so well written!
We need this to be a fucking mod NOW, this shit has the BIGGEST potential to be turned into an actual Campaign
master of sfm ,i need all this maps in one campaing in my l4d2
I think the payday gang would be an interesting addition, I wondet what's up with them
in payday the green flu became a completely different thing in the end, instead being more like a biological weapon being able to enhance the strength of anyone that's infected with it, but killing them shortly after
Especially since there was a tie-in with the mercy hospital
I mean, since technically all of them could potentially assault the white fucking house, I believe they could make it this far.
True it would be interesting how the payday gang would hold up against the infection especially the modern infected that broke the saferoom door
wasn't it confirmed that the payday thing was not canon?
Meatwall?..
The more i see these, the more i think how well Hunk would do i those scenarios.
We all can agree we would be paler then snow if we were running from a "claws" but poor summers though
MALIK SUMMERS aggro'd the WITCH, i mean, CLAWS!
10:20 tbh its his fault, he didnt shut up for second, of course it would find him
I'm loving the series but goddamn, reading the text without needing to pause is a challenge
Add the payday gang. It would be a sick addition to the lore.
Hola ! Aquí tu sub le daré like ! Haces muy buenos videos sigue así !! 😎👍
Keep it up! this is dope!
maybe starers and claw work in a hivemind type of way, the starers serve to seek survivors and the claws serve to hunt them
rochelle aytes? like the rochelle we know in l4d2?
Hey will be there videos but about the first team?? (Zoey, Bill, Louis, Francis) Or about a dead body (basically Bill's sacrifice, not just a video about random dead body)
NGL if a L4D3 ever were to actually be released I hope that they somehow see this ARG and get inspired to make the two of these special infected in their game.
the starer being like the version of the witch that can be avoided
and Claws that acts like another version of the Tank that can randomly pop up in spots where a Tank would instead of the regular Tank.
The “Claws” kinda looks like one of the scrapped special infected L4D was going to have. idk if it was for L4D1 or L4D2 or if it was concept art. -10:46 -
Is it me or are the infected becoming more monstrous now
God, I love this series. Some call it an ARG, but to me it feels very much like an Unfiction project.
❤️❤️❤️
