Slow zombies or fast zombies /v/?
Which are scarier in games?
>>339406884
Fast ones are way scarier
>>339406884
slow zombies but really resistant
Also depends heavily on game mechanics
RE HD, Killing floor does it right
L4D doesnt
Crimson Heads threw me off guard so those.
Faster ones that can be injured resulting in them moving slower,
Mix of both is good.
Fast zombie here and there to throw you off.
Also 28 days later game when?
Depends on the type of game.
slow zombies are a scary because of their mass numbers and because they're relentless - They'll never stop coming and they'll only keep increasing in numbers.
They're supposed to represent death itself, in that sense.
Fast zombies are more of an adrenaline rush/fight or flight response.
Think of Dying Light...do you think the regular game is scary with its slow zombies, or do you think this mod that turns all zombies into runners is scary?

It depends on the amount, setting, and difficulty to kill.
parking lot full of resident evil zombies? a bit spooky but no big deal
shopping mall full of dead rising zombies? worrying, not spooky though
narrow tunnel full of l4d zombies? clutch, more exhilarating than spooky
I think slow zombies are spookier. Especially if they're difficult to kill
Fast ones just don't make sense. Their bodies are decomposed; muscle tissue likely deteriorated

I liked Dying Light's method
Freshly turned are fast, can climb, and are still kinda human
The older ones are slow

If the setting depends on maintaining an atmosphere of hopelessness and despair, with limited ammo, tight spaces and fragile MCs, then I'd go for slow zombies. Fast zombies/the infected are meant to spread panic, chaos and disorientation, and I personally see it as less scary.

The entire concept of a zombie doesn't make sense you double nigger.
>>339406884
To be honest I dont find zombies scary at this point.
If I'd have to chose I'd go with undead that have rapid, jerky movements to those with slow and predictable ones.

Not if the explanation for their animation is parasitic down to the cellular/neurological level

Reminds me of 28 days later.
>>339406884
Zombies stopped being scary long time ago.
>>339406884
Different zombies.

The Last Of Us managed to make zombies somewhat original, (apart from the bloater which was kind of a fuck up design wise)like hearing the moans of pain from the infected as the fungus warps their brain so they're essentially trapped in their own body.
The infection being Cordyceps rather than some Resident Evil T-virus shit was nice.

That's great sound design. In fact everything in that game had amazing sound design.
The way they swarmed you if you moved too quickly was great. Excellent way to punctuate the game.
Skeletons
>>339406884
Slow zombies that become faster the more flesh you shoot off, until they become sprinting spooky skeletons looking to replace their lost meat with your own.
>weak attack
>little heath
>less common in numbers
>still the scariest fucking enemy in the game

Fast zombies is actually the only thing that makes sense.
28 days later got it right, it was basically just super rabies. Fast as hell zombies with near fucking instant transformation when infected, it's the only way zombies stand a chance in hell against humans.
We're just too damn good at killing shit, slow zombies are really quite a joke if you are going to be arguing realism.
