i had amazingly awesome high hopes for this game, but after watching videos, i lose more and more hope. i think itll still be great, and i'll buy it, but i dont know if ill rush to get it. it seems very campy, i was hoping for a survival horror some what realistic game, and thats what they were originally going for afaik, but now there are combos and things of that nature, so im not too sure now.

I remember seeing the concept of this game many years ago.

It sounded really awsome.

But the gameplay videos I see now make me think this is probably a scrub game.

But, yeah, it can still be awsome maybe.

Seem very campy?

wouldnt a theoretical realistic zombie horror force you to be campy?

lol! i didnt mean in that sense. yes totally, a realistic zombie thing would be campy, but i meant campy as in, the batman series with adam west was campy

[Rosette]

i saw at STEAM
it seems to be Dark-Messiah turned to ZOMBIE HUNTING

cool stuff

but worrying about Multiplay and some BUGS

[Poppi]

be cool to get a zombie survival co-op game.

Not sure when or why killing zombies like Duke Nukem became so popular

[deadbolt]

idd, i want more survival games. i'd like to test other abilities like hiding and surviving/escaping as long as possible as apose to wtfpunching a zombie in its mouth.

[RikiRude]

i agree, seeing how many supplies you can scavenge, seeing how many zombies you can avoid, and conserving ammo would be great. none of that unlimited ammo crap.

[deadbolt]

we should make a game together and make millions of £.......... hmm now if i only i could code and do pr0 gfx......... if only.

[RikiRude]

the sad thing is a game like that wouldnt make loads of money =(

im sure the reason dead island changed is someone sat down and said "how are we going to pull in the call of duty, halo, shitty FPS player base?"

its a huge problem with gaming right now, and incredibly sad. every company out there is too scarred to do anything really outside the box. thats why every game looks the same.

Dont worry, history repeats itself, and atari/colleco spammed 'popular' and movie games that killed the industy for a bit till nintendo came out with some thing new either that or the trend of spam games with a few real gems in the middle will become alot more pronounced.
Any ways the indie devs are getting alot better not to mention there are certain flash games out there that are more worth 70$ then some mainstream garbage.

BTW Cracked itself has become mainstream and quite junk recently with very very few good artlicles and thier research is flimsy and more biased then Micheal Moore

Example Dead Island has stated that the anount of time you will be using a gun is minimal and they primarily designed it to be a melee centric game. If you have played Prey, you would also know that while you do do alot of shooting, thats neglecting the puzzle solving that made up alot of the game.

I just want a godamn horror survival game that is made by the *bigger* companies, because they have the assets to have a first person game with good graphics and multiplayer.

 The people who made project zomboid have little chance at making a survival horror game with those three qualities.

What I am saying is that they have the ability to make a great survival horror, but instead, they pick to make a very action oriented game, and I have to hope that the game has mod support and someone makes a mod were you cant just trolololol your way through mobs of zombies.

[Demon767]

So much QQ!

I'm accepting how the game is, very action orientated, well if the intensity stays that way, and its co-op capabilities is fighting of droves of zombies in a campaign format, then damn right im gonna enjoy this game similar or better then a slow paced survival horror. It looks awesome, the action looks awesome, the devs made a game like this and im gonna praise the hell out of them because they did infact turn a niche game into possibly a mainstream game. whether you anti cod fanboys like it or not, that is a feat in itself. That is all IF the game is good, and i will be eagerly awaiting september to try it out (or import it from America because the rating is Pegi18 and Australia doesnt have that rating system -.-)

[DarkSoldierX]

But demon, we will probably also play this game, and it will probably be good.

But don't you see a lack of games that aren't cod/counterstrike/halo type in the FPS genera? We are saying there is enough of those types of games, and we want more of the different types.
