Left 4 Dead + 24p = Amazingly Awesome...
I just played the Left 4 Dead Demo with the help of a FPS Limiter I found via Google to get it to 24p, and it truly does feel like playing a film. I had no problems during gameplay and the slower framerate actually helps you to see more enemies and helps your reaction times. The only frame drops I get are in expert mode with more zombies on screen.
I also couldn't notice any frame drops when running it at 1680x1050 on a 9600GT in 24p. When I was at 60fps, my card was at max power and could only get 60 constant in low draw areas, once that action picked up, the lowest it went was around 30 but never below 30. The only frame dropping I see were in the pre-rendered 720p videos used for the intro, the promo, and the background video, but that's about it.
If you have the L4D demo, try it out, the FPS limiter is here and with the included Java GUI, you can create a .bat file to run L4D in 24p.
To wrap this up...
Awesome.
*backslap!*

Does it really f33l like ure playing a movie?Also what system is this game again,and to work out the FPS do I have to activate it or does it activate automatically after you download it?
It's for XP and Vista PCs only (and there's no way to change framerate on the 360)
Yes, it really feels like playing a movie at 24p.
To make it work, just extract the downloaded file to a folder using WinRAR then run the .jar file and assign left4dead.exe to the framerate limit of 24p. Double click on the newly created .bat file and you're playing L4D in 24p.
A word of caution: You cannot play co-op online with a framerate limiter for some weird reason, so you have to launch from Steam to play online.
