I love how now both the movie AND game have nothing to do with the book. WTF happened? The book was freakin great.

book was good yet annoyed the living shit out of me at the same time.. either way there's legit no way to make the book into a full length movie given the book jumps around like crazy.. for games it could work since you make it a chapter based single player bouncing between stories but then again most of them are to short.
 
While I have to admit I'm interested in the mechanics (the HUGE WWZ MOVIE HORDES making it into gameplay is neat, but how exactly will we fight/interact with them in a way that is an enjoyable game?), I'd go as far to say that I'd be almost more interested in game about the actual "book version" of anti-zombie combat.

Without giving away too many spoliers, the book took the premise that all of our modern combat elements wouldn't just make us woefully unprepared for fighting zombies, it would make things so much worse (ie watching your squadmates being devoured over heads up display etc). The book described the "solution" as going back to a slow, methodical, bite-resistant-armor + CQC (even melee) setup where lines of people would basically march and fight almost hand to hand, protecting each other and clearing. It made a lot of sense for the kind of infection noted in the books (it wasn't the speedy plague of the movies if I recall). Its notable that the author of the book has actually been invited to lecture at a variety of academic topics, a fellow at think tanks, and is well respected by military thinkers. Pretty neat resume for a guy who wrote about zombies and who's latest book is actually set in Minecraft!
 
Loved the book. Didn't hate the movie, per se, but it absolutely had nothing to do with the book whatsoever and in that respect was pretty disappointing. This looks to be more of the same.
 
WOW this could be good never can go wrong with Zombies coming at you in waves.

Currently free on EGS. Any good?

It looked fun, but the majority opinion online seems to be that the game gets stale very quickly. No reason to not try it out while it's free, though, especially since that means the online population will be higher than it usually is before those people get bored themselves.
 
Just ran through part of the first level....actually seems pretty decent. I'm not a huge fan of horde co-op games, but the graphics are good and gameplay is what you would expect. Not sure that many people are playing even with it being free as I didn't seem to pair with anyone...will have to get some friends to install it. Can't really go wrong for the price.
 
I played my first two levels tonight. Didnt like that you couldnt swap out certain guns to different slots. For instance, a heavy sniper couldnt be swapped for an SMG, but my FAL could be for an SMG. The heck?

One primary, one specialty and one sidearm? Is that the gist of it?

Enjoyed the hordes of zombies though. Should be fun to level up over the next few weeks.

That's what I gathered, wasn't too bothered by it.

The number of zombies they managed to get on screen without any noticeable performance hit is actually quite impressive.
 
This game is like Left for Dead but with more realistic graphics it's a bit darker than Left for Dead.

Special like COD but they are gone before I can even use them.


Multiplayer is fun actually it's a bit wonky played a quick match where you capture point then if you own a point long enough Zombies swarm the people in the capture point.
