Someone said every valve game os fictional in each game, meaning scout can play l4d, Louis can play CS, a counter-terrorist can play half-life, and so on so forth. I'd like to believe that payday is directly connected due to the bridge rescue mission also mentioning the green flu.
Pretty sure the only exception is portal and hl because there is a power point on how aperture is better than black mesa and other reasons So sadly glados can’t run half life 2 😭
im more concerned if any source games are connected to tf2 in any shape or form, i like tf2 it's arguably one of my favourite games but mann, its lore is an actual joke(intended).
@@truestbluu I made the comment just before the video was about to premiere, so it was literally impossible for me to watch it when commenting this haha
The reason No Mercy is now canon in the Payday universe is because Bain wanted a book called The Guide of Cagliostro from a guy who wanted the patient's infected blood as payment. The green flu in Payday doesn't turn people into zombies since Bain himself is infected by it but doesn't turn. So, in short, they turned No Mercy from a noncanon fun crossover to a pivotal and crucial part in the Payday story
We all fail to consider, it could all take place in its own version of reality where Valve is even bigger of a media corp than it already is and L4D are movies full of "subtle" advertisements for their other products.
I like how Ellis is the only Pug in the group lmao fits him so well. Also I like to think these games are connected it feels more real and morbid that way.
Man, I've waited for this video. You have covered both of my favorite games, and yeah, they are indeed connected and I REALLY LIKE THAT. I fricking love Left 4 Dead man! Also, if you will look at official Midnight Riders music clips (the virtual music band from Left 4 Dead, and it's actually fire, you should listen to it), you can find ALOT and I mean ALOT of references to Team Fortress 2, CS:GO and Left 4 Dead itself.
You forgot one thing, in the first payday on mercy hospital you can find a witch in one of the rooms from l4d2 and the patient zombie models twitching in locked rooms
I dont think a witch would be a thing at the very start of the outbreak it took 2 weeks for the l4d1 group to start seeing them at least so day 0 of the outbreak a witch shouldnt exist yet so that is just a fun easter egg now the dead people twitching coming back to life yeah thats the green flu
12:20 chat, he forgot that viruses dont spread at light speed and affect people instantly, as viruses take time to travel and affect hosts, plus I'm pretty sure the Green Flu wasn't airborne till later in the L4D franchise.
Turtle Rock Studios _is not_ responsible for Left 4 Dead. Hardly any of the people who made Left 4 Dead are even part of the studio. I highly suggest you watch the video "Back 4 Blood proves Valve carried Left 4 Dead." It's very eye opening into how manipulative the phrase "from the creators of Left 4 Dead" is and just how little that claim holds water.
For the ties of Payday and L4D, it makes more sense to believe that before 2009, the Payday(:The Heist) gang stole the green flu and *then* caused the events of Left 4 Dead. Later in Payday 2's lore, the main contractor Bain dies from it. But I do believe that the two universes are still seperated, because Payday 3 takes place in present-day New York, with no zombies or outbreaks
that and im pretty sure valve said payday 2 version was more of a " what if " scenario ..also they do find the cure for the green flu in the payday 2 universe so it doesnt spread that quickly
PD2 also retconned the heist to 2012 New York (from 2009 Fairfield), the PD2 version is a Flashback (the rest of PD2 is set in 2012 to 2018, mostly in DC, but with a few heists in NYC, as well as a few other locations like LA, Alaska, Russia and Mexico)
I think Payday, Zombie Army 4, Dead By Daylight, and the Sacrifice comic seems to point toward a L4D multiverse, as opposed to one decreasingly coherent timeline
I always liked the idea that Half Life, Portal, and TF2 could all be connected. I imagined the mercenaries from TF2 with upgrades keeping them young or at least not cripplingly old. Imagining them serving like guardians strong enough to hold back the combine in North America would be super cool I think, wait I think that's kind of the plot of Overwatch but I'm not sure. Haven't played that game or read the lore.

@@iicustodianlawI often dream of Valve characters, such as those from Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, Portal, and Left 4 Dead, joining forces to assist Gordon Freeman in overcoming challenges posed by the G-Man.
If I remember correctly there are 2 L4D Easter Eggs in the PayDay 2 No Mercy Heist. The first one being if you stick around the body bags in the hospital long enough, theres a chance youll see the body bags twitch or move. The second one being a small jumpscare of the Witch from L42 if you look into a certain locked door in the hospital.
Oh boy I wonder what Moving body bags mean in a fucking hospital. Not to mention the Hospital in Payday 2 has the exact same layout and name as the one in L4D2. Jesus dude connect some fucking dots
Also Something kinda funny is that on HL2's canceled expansion there would be zombie type that does not need a headcrab to spread, thing that let me thinking "what sounds... Familiar" when i heared
I love videos like this one that are following the story line of a game/games because I'm too busy to play the game and I skip all the cut-scenes and most definitely will miss all the easter eggs :D so it helps me keep track of what's going on :) Thanks :)
it genuinely took like halfway through the video to realise that you were showing your face cause im so used to the silly cats and dogs that i literally like blocked you as a human out of my mind and it just didnt register for like 6 minutes
L4D and Payday go a lot deeper too, it’s connected to Half Life and TF2 as well because in the stock ticker on the big bank level you can see a lot of BLU and RED owned companies, Mercy Hospital, White Mesa, Mann Co, and Freeman Airboat Tours.
Hi, massive Left 4 Dead and PAYDAY fan here, the original No Mercy heist in the first PAYDAY was meant to be non-cannon. If I recall correctly, the idea came about because a lot of people were basically looking at PAYDAY as Left 4 Dead but with cops. This was mainly because PAYDAY - like Left 4 Dead - had common and special enemy types, and they were both linear co-op horde shooters with minimal RNG built into the gameplay. Later in PAYDAY 2, when the developers finally hired a writer to make sense of and create a new story, they decided to recontextualize The No Mercy heist to fit in with their new narrative. The virus they steal isn't The Green Flu virus, but instead a bioweapon designed by a faction in the game called Murky Water. It's not confirmed that this virus turns its targets into zombies, only that the virus is very deadly. If anything, the existence of PAYDAY 3 proves that the virus didn't lead to a zombie apocalypse. I say these things so that it's clear why the collaboration even happened in the first place, and why the heist later became cannon. The PAYDAY Gang did not steal The Green Flu virus, and they did not cause a zombie apocalypse. The building of The No Mercy hospital is shared, and so is Bill's design, but they're not cannon to each other. PAYDAY and Left 4 Dead each have their own cannon completely separated from each other, it's just that they share a location and one character only in design.
Fun fact: while playing No Mercy (I think that was the name) in PayDay, you can actually hear the witch crying, then she jumpscares you if you go towards the room she is in
I like to think that L4D and CS:GO aren't the same universe, they're just similar universes where all of the characters co-exist, maybe the L4D characters are alive and well in the CS:GO universe, never having met each other and not having to fight zombies to survive and simply enjoying their lives. Maybe Gordon, Alyx, and Chell are also just getting to enjoy their lives very differently in the CS:GO universe. It's cool to think about, and would give a fun explanation to some things being exactly the same from another universe, just somehow also being slightly different.
What happens that stopped the Zombies in payday is that apparently patient 0 of the zombie virus was in mercy hospital and after the payday crew finished the mission, the hospital got bombed and they cured bane who had the virus
that song at 1:05 brought back some old memories. Such a pleasant tune! Anyways, this was a very interesting video, and I loved the little cat fellas representing the different characters.
Theory : The Payday No Mercy Heist is actually an alternate universe where they find the cure in time so the world does not plunge into chaos like in L4D.
not just cats. more animals I DONNOT READ NOTIFICATIONS!! because sometimes i received hate and i'm scare to open the notifications and read those negative comments
2:27 xD I wanna add that I made this type of gameplay on my own long time ago. I would buy shield in 1.6 on map "Assault" and I would spawn so many bots, with the command that makes bots use only knife. Yes, it was very fun.
Well... no. When someone says/type: This is the best [REDACTED] ever made This is the greatest [REDACTED] ever made This is the [REDACTED] i've even [REDACTED] i've been [REDACTED] Or something with that. It's just because they like it, but it's not really that. It's just great and that's it. I know it's an expression, but a cliche one. I DONNOT READ NOTIFICATIONS!! because sometimes i received hate and i'm scare to open the notifications and read those negative comments
I like to imagine Tf2, Portal and Half Life are connected in that since Australium depleted and those oh so juicy teleporters likely don't work that well anymore, it caused companies like Aperature (who sorta fumbled their way into it cuz Cave is a goofer) and Black Mesa to really really focus on making/discovering portals and new energy sources in a sort of teleporter arms race.
It's actually very simple l4d is known to take place in "films" as seen by the intros' titles and more in the game to missions and even endings. with that said and the references and even voice lines to the other games, what if left4dead is just a series of zombie films in the main universe, and csgo and halflife are games in said universe aswell meaning its a movie referencing a game?
This idea seems the most fitting based on how each L4D campaign picture is a movie poster. If I had to guess, the Counter-Strike and the Payday universe are the same universe, with things like TF2, Half-Life, Portal, and L4D being videogames and/or collaborations in said universe.
I do believe that CS Source and L4D1+2 take place in the same universe. In the campaign Dead Air, before you get to the airport, in map 2 you can see that you enter and exit through the MAC nuclear power plant. It is the same power plant on de_nuke in CS:S.
yes. you can wait. don't say that cliche shyatt I DONNOT READ NOTIFICATIONS!! because sometimes i received hate and i'm scare to open the notifications and read those negative comments
i like imagining this as like, l4d being almost like an alternate universe of csgo. like it branches off after a certain point in csgo’s story, which from what i remember has grown into its own thing too much to really be compatible with it being a direct prequel to l4d by this point, and maybe csgo is set a few years in the past in this timeline to make up for the anachronisms i don’t think you can really call the connections “canon” for a lot of reasons but it’s fun to notice them and think about them and try to bridge the gap, esp with the ones that could “plausibly” exist in both like the saint lidia ii-it’s important to have awareness of canonicity, but getting too caught up in the idea of that being the only thing that matters can kinda suck the fun out of thinking about this kinda stuff (this all goes for payday too but i didn’t have too much to say directly about that lol)
2:04 Actually that same sound effect can be heard in HL1 in On a Rail. Specifically in one of the optional areas. Maybe it's a stock sound effect? On a side note On a Rail actually has multiple creepy sounds. At the very start you can hear what sounds like ghostly wailing, no I'm not kidding. Turn up your volume when board the tram at the end Power Up and you'll hear it after the loading screen.
Love the video, cats are a neat little addition, but Turtle Rock didn't do much in the way of actually developing L4D, they mostly just came up with the core concept and gameplay before VALVe came in. But you probably know that already. Awesome vid, keep up the good work!
This is a neat video, and very well edited. I'm mainly commenting because I love that you used music and sfx (1:241:46) from LittleBigPlanet. Just chilling and watching the video until my brain snapped when I heard the Popit select sound. Good video, good tastes, good everything really 🙏🙏
I've thought about this connection for a while, and what I ended up settling on was almost similar to what you said. My headcanon was that the Left 4 Dead series were films in the CSGO universe, and not the other way around. Mostly because of the movie poster loading screens in L4D2. That would entertain the shared maps; maybe some of them were used as film sets, and Louis's lines are just in-film pop culture references
Hey, bro. I'm passing you a stick to participate in the cs2 Spider-Man challenge, you need to make an epic kill in competitive mode with the longest killfit. It is important to use a weapon that has a Spider-Man sticker on it. Upload a UA-cam video with #waspider and pass the baton to the next one. This is a good idea for a full-fledged video. Spider friends, please like the comment so that he sees it.
Good video! Ignoring my bias for silly cats, I really like how you edit your videos. I don't play cs all that much, but I enjoy watching your videos! Keep it up :)
Okay, so weve got a Zombies story with Messy Canon where some universes have Zombies and others don't? Boom, Multiverse. It's the COD solution! Half Life and Portal exist in one universe free of the virus, Team Fortress 2 is doing its own thing, and Countestrike, Payday and L4D are very close fractures of the same universe, with the fracture potentially being caused by time travel fuckery? The No Mercy job was relatively early in the gang's career, so there are 3 outcomes imo: •The No mercy job is unsuccessful, likely sabotaged somehow, the gang cease to exist or atleast fade into obscurity (CS fracture) •The No mercy job is successful, the virus ends up in Murky's hands, and the events of Payday play out as normal. (PD fracture) •The no Mercy job is successful, but the virus is intercepted and is not in mukrywaters hands, and the outbreak is caused. (L4D fracture) Perhaps HL3 Would have seen the Multiverse be closed off and a single new Valve universe (+Payday for some reason) be born. But I'm getting too far into the COD parallels here. (That's a neat detail, for those interested in COD that don't already know: All games have been connected and canon since the end of BO4. The BO4 Zombies storyline ended with the Multiverse ending and a single new world beginning. The Various Campaign and MP stories were also included in this multiverse, and that's why everything is connected now.)
this video was not only excellent to watch and all the little cat characters are so adorable but i absolutely love your music choices! so many that were also featured in the LittleBigPlanet series and i love them all! wonderful video!

The reason No Mercy is now canon in the Payday universe is because Bain wanted a book called The Guide of Cagliostro from a guy who wanted the patient's infected blood as payment. The green flu in Payday doesn't turn people into zombies since Bain himself is infected by it but doesn't turn.

It's cool to think about, and would give a fun explanation to some things being exactly the same from another universe, just somehow also being slightly different.
In the CS:GO universe Chell was adopted by some loving parents and got cake for her birthday.

Imagine Nick in the Parish seeing 4 guys robbing the convenience stores.
You probably heard this a lot already but I just wanted to say you make the best fucking thumbnails ever on this platform
What happens that stopped the Zombies in payday is that apparently patient 0 of the zombie virus was in mercy hospital and after the payday crew finished the mission, the hospital got bombed and they cured bane who had the virus
Being serious when I say seeing this video pop up in my feed filled me with joy. Nice vid Goldec.
There is also a L4D reference in the CSGO map "Assault" the tunnel has a sign that shows the fictional city Riverside from the Death Toll campaign
We need the cat back!!
I love the littlebigplanet music usage in this video
that song at 1:05 brought back some old memories. Such a pleasant tune!
Anyways, this was a very interesting video, and I loved the little cat fellas representing the different characters.
Goldec Face reveal isn't what I expected to see today. Your content is always banging man keep up the insane work!
i never see him. great content, but i will never watch again
i like to belive that l4d takes place in alternative payday universe where green flu was used as bioweapon
Great editing, makes the video really pleasant to watch. Great job!
Video was great, loved the info dump on all of the connections made
Theory : The Payday No Mercy Heist is actually an alternate universe where they find the cure in time so the world does not plunge into chaos like in L4D.
The cats are always awesome.
not just cats. more animals
I DONNOT READ NOTIFICATIONS!! because sometimes i received hate and i'm scare to open the notifications and read those negative comments
Neat@@sorkinquinzel
Everything about this video is pure gold, except the part where he sold Vypa in the SkinsMonkey ad.
2:27 xD
I wanna add that I made this type of gameplay on my own long time ago.
I would buy shield in 1.6 on map "Assault" and I would spawn so many bots, with the command that makes bots use only knife.
Yes, it was very fun.
This is the best thumbnail ever made
Well... no. When someone says/type:
This is the best [REDACTED] ever made
This is the greatest [REDACTED] ever made
This is the [REDACTED] i've even [REDACTED]
i've been [REDACTED]
Or something with that. It's just because they like it, but it's not really that. It's just great and that's it. I know it's an expression, but a cliche one.

8:23 nuke even has a wall with a bunch of trophies/awards and most of them are after 2010
👍
I like to imagine Tf2, Portal and Half Life are connected in that since Australium depleted and those oh so juicy teleporters likely don't work that well anymore, it caused companies like Aperature (who sorta fumbled their way into it cuz Cave is a goofer) and Black Mesa to really really focus on making/discovering portals and new energy sources in a sort of teleporter arms race.
glad to see payday 2 mentioned. wasted so many hrs on that game as a teen. always thought it was wild the connection between pdy and valve games
181 hours man.
@@BicirikBey I’m at like nearly 900 lmfao
@@uglyfuji1452 Damn.
Valve : *Reuses assets*
Everyone : BRO ITS CONNECTED, ITS LORE, ITS SO DEEP
It's actually very simple l4d is known to take place in "films" as seen by the intros' titles and more in the game to missions and even endings. with that said and the references and even voice lines to the other games, what if left4dead is just a series of zombie films in the main universe, and csgo and halflife are games in said universe aswell meaning its a movie referencing a game?
This idea seems the most fitting based on how each L4D campaign picture is a movie poster. If I had to guess, the Counter-Strike and the Payday universe are the same universe, with things like TF2, Half-Life, Portal, and L4D being videogames and/or collaborations in said universe.
I do believe that CS Source and L4D1+2 take place in the same universe. In the campaign Dead Air, before you get to the airport, in map 2 you can see that you enter and exit through the MAC nuclear power plant. It is the same power plant on de_nuke in CS:S.
0:07 what, where talking cat? Why I see human on screen.
So many bots
great video lad! absolutely lovin the choice of lbp music in the background ❤❤
cant wait for the uncanny theory on how tf2 is connected
yes. you can wait. don't say that cliche shyatt
I DONNOT READ NOTIFICATIONS!! because sometimes i received hate and i'm scare to open the notifications and read those negative comments
the lbp music is really catching me off guard, I love it, subscribed
what if we use the notion that there is a probability that the L4D series may be a saga of movies?
I mean it's pretty obvious, every intro has a movie poster.
fair
@@RapidPhantom293And at the "credits" after completing a campaign it says this many zombies was hurt in the making of this movie.
That gm_construct jacket is fire
Left 4 dead is actually in the GMod universe
i like imagining this as like, l4d being almost like an alternate universe of csgo. like it branches off after a certain point in csgo’s story, which from what i remember has grown into its own thing too much to really be compatible with it being a direct prequel to l4d by this point, and maybe csgo is set a few years in the past in this timeline to make up for the anachronisms
i don’t think you can really call the connections “canon” for a lot of reasons but it’s fun to notice them and think about them and try to bridge the gap, esp with the ones that could “plausibly” exist in both like the saint lidia ii-it’s important to have awareness of canonicity, but getting too caught up in the idea of that being the only thing that matters can kinda suck the fun out of thinking about this kinda stuff
(this all goes for payday too but i didn’t have too much to say directly about that lol)
10:01 that’s what I was waiting for
Great video!
Was not expecting LBP 2 music but happy to be surprised
I love you silly kitty cs guy
I’m glad to see the increase in number of silly cats in your video. It is appreciated
2:04 Actually that same sound effect can be heard in HL1 in On a Rail. Specifically in one of the optional areas. Maybe it's a stock sound effect? On a side note On a Rail actually has multiple creepy sounds. At the very start you can hear what sounds like ghostly wailing, no I'm not kidding. Turn up your volume when board the tram at the end Power Up and you'll hear it after the loading screen.
And the fact that in half-life 1 you can only hear it once
Funny thing is the green flu that you get from the no mercy mission eventually leads to bane body swapping with the president
and payday*
Love the video, cats are a neat little addition, but Turtle Rock didn't do much in the way of actually developing L4D, they mostly just came up with the core concept and gameplay before VALVe came in. But you probably know that already.
Awesome vid, keep up the good work!
Silly little skrunkly kitty cats make the video even better, on top of the lpb ost
yes. because you like cats, but not hyenas.
i donnot read notifiaction.
This is a neat video, and very well edited. I'm mainly commenting because I love that you used music and sfx (1:24 1:46) from LittleBigPlanet. Just chilling and watching the video until my brain snapped when I heard the Popit select sound. Good video, good tastes, good everything really 🙏🙏
I love the cats 😭
Same 🐢👍
I remember you showing me how to glitch out of the map in cod Cold War zombies in 2020 now your famous congrats

I've thought about this connection for a while, and what I ended up settling on was almost similar to what you said. My headcanon was that the Left 4 Dead series were films in the CSGO universe, and not the other way around. Mostly because of the movie poster loading screens in L4D2. That would entertain the shared maps; maybe some of them were used as film sets, and Louis's lines are just in-film pop culture references
LITTLE BIG PLANETTTTT
So Payday 1, L4D2, and CSGO all have strong connections.
Cool. John Wick confirmed for L4D3.
man i love payday
I know man especially that hospital mission that totally doesn't show the payday crew being the ones causing the outbreak
been here since the cold war zombies glitch tutorials, the content has gotten so good
No way. You’re a real og
Hey, bro. I'm passing you a stick to participate in the cs2 Spider-Man challenge, you need to make an epic kill in competitive mode with the longest killfit. It is important to use a weapon that has a Spider-Man sticker on it. Upload a UA-cam video with #waspider and pass the baton to the next one.
This is a good idea for a full-fledged video.
Spider friends, please like the comment so that he sees it.
Thank you for underlining that reusing assets is often the most common reason why things look similar across seemingly not connected games.
Also, judging by the music in this video, I detect a fellow LBP fan.
Good video! Ignoring my bias for silly cats, I really like how you edit your videos. I don't play cs all that much, but I enjoy watching your videos! Keep it up :)
NOOOOOO THE CATS REMOVED IN DA THUMBNAIL
Blame copyright system
The M4 Belleni shotgun (or however you spell it) was also reused from the Automatic Shotgun in L4D.
I was gonna mention that in the video but the model is slightly off but they do look very similar. Same with the g3sg1 and the sniper from l4d
Okay, so weve got a Zombies story with Messy Canon where some universes have Zombies and others don't? Boom, Multiverse. It's the COD solution! Half Life and Portal exist in one universe free of the virus, Team Fortress 2 is doing its own thing, and Countestrike, Payday and L4D are very close fractures of the same universe, with the fracture potentially being caused by time travel fuckery?
The No Mercy job was relatively early in the gang's career, so there are 3 outcomes imo:
•The No mercy job is unsuccessful, likely sabotaged somehow, the gang cease to exist or atleast fade into obscurity (CS fracture)
•The No mercy job is successful, the virus ends up in Murky's hands, and the events of Payday play out as normal. (PD fracture)
•The no Mercy job is successful, but the virus is intercepted and is not in mukrywaters hands, and the outbreak is caused. (L4D fracture)
Perhaps HL3 Would have seen the Multiverse be closed off and a single new Valve universe (+Payday for some reason) be born. But I'm getting too far into the COD parallels here.
(That's a neat detail, for those interested in COD that don't already know: All games have been connected and canon since the end of BO4. The BO4 Zombies storyline ended with the Multiverse ending and a single new world beginning. The Various Campaign and MP stories were also included in this multiverse, and that's why everything is connected now.)
this video was not only excellent to watch and all the little cat characters are so adorable but i absolutely love your music choices! so many that were also featured in the LittleBigPlanet series and i love them all! wonderful video!
I notice how you use that main lobby music from modnation racers at 5:30 ahaha
For as short lived as that game was I loved it
@@goldecc uhh what song did you use at 4:53?
This channel has a bit of General Sam Jr vibes. Good stuff.
YES PAYDAY MENTIONED
love the use of Little Big Planet music!
