Fuck
Who /hype/ here?
It's like Last of Us and Dead Rising had a baby
But does it have Norman Fetus?
>>341793950
Zombies should be faster and more agressives.
What they've said since the reveal has sounded much more promising than what the gameplay demo showed.
I'll remain interested, but not hyped. Who knows what'll happen. I personally think Horizon looks better each time they've shown it, I hope the case will be the same with this.
I am Hype for this Ride to Hell Sequel.
>>341793950
oh boy another zombie game
sure need more of those
>>341793950
You can also craft and upgrade stuff on your bike. I'm interested tbqh
>>341794326
As long they're fun, I don't have a problem with them
>>341793950
>open world zombies
FUCK OFF WITH THIS MEME. how many open world zombie survival games do we need holy shit? dayz, state of decay, literally a fifth of all early access games.
I mean when does it become stale for people? why couldn't it be hordes of aliens or something? anything different. why do people want to play the exact same shit over and over again?
They need to beef up the gun sounds on the game.
>"realistic" TPS zombie game with crafting and a grim story
The only way it could get more generic is if it had survival elements
Will need to see more.
If the horde follows you around the map, that would be nice. If they lose interest or hit their lease, fuck no.
>>341793950
>>Players are allowed to use multiple ways to complete objectives, such as utilizing stealth and taking the aggressive approach.
it just works
>>341794181
this
they seemed like canon fodder and nothing else

>>341793950
>hoard of zombies
Stay in school, kids!
>>341794420
How many good open world zombie games do we have? Because I didn't play any of those shitty early access games
>>341793950
Gameplay demo looked like an unpolished mess. Too scripted as well for something that is apparently an open world game.
I hope that's just because they were rushed for e3.
>>341794581
Is dead island open world? That one was decent dying light was too.
I feel as though the zombies should easily have been able to overpower you there.
>>341794581
State of Decay is surprisingly good.
>>341794181
>>341794534
They did mention in an interview that there's different kind of zombies. Like the little Gollum looking thing that jumps onto his back in the demo
Last of us 1&1/2
Kek
Another open world zombie meme game.
Boy, I can't wait.
>ex-convict biker in a zombie apocalypse
So he's that guy from the walking dead?
>Generic modern game open world sprinkled with flashing icons everywhere.
>Zombie hoards that are negated simply by walking away from them
>shitty stealth/action hybrid mechanics that are in every game in the last 5ever
>+2% sprint speed crafted jeans LOL SO DEEP
Dead Rising atleast has charm. This thing is just the most generic and boring thing ever and about 5 years too late for anyone to give a shit about the zombie shit.
>>341794581
I can only think of Dying Light so I'm fine with more
Literally so generic that, if it were a cereal, it'd be store brand.
The shots of the zombies running over each other were nice, but it was basically just a glorified tech demo for that.
post games that did zombies right
>>341794993
dying light and its expansion was pretty guud. I hope we get a dying light 2. Probably the best zombie game after dead rising.
>>341793950
Starkiller in a game mixed of Sons of Anarchy and World War Z movie zombies? Could be fun
>>341795159
but it looks like shit
>>341794581
>>341794420
Go try and find a finished open world zombie survival crafting game with a decent rating on Steam. I can think of maybe one.
Steam basically has an entire genre where 80-90% of the games aren't even done.
>>341793950
I'm starving for a new zombie game. Didn't really hear much about the dying light DLC
Anyone else expecting this to be some ruse and the game will later be fully announced as The Last of Us sequel?
The game just looks way too fucking similar, and is event clearly using the same engine. Plus I find it hard to believe that fucking Bend could make this game, they are just Sony's bitch studio now who makes games when the main developer is too busy making actual games.
>>341794420
Too bad there's like only two games that's actually good. Dying Light and State of decay.
>>341795260
>implying that matters
>More zombie games
Ye-
Aaaaaawnnn
>>341795393
It matters to me
>>341793950
I'm getting real fucking sick of PS4 having so many big-name exclusives. At least Microsoft/Xbox are catching on and bringing titles back to the PC. All I want are this and Ace Combat, is that so much to ask?
>>341794581
State of Decay is still the best. Never ever btw.
>>341795264
That's why I can't see how it is a problem we finally get a finished game with a higher budget
>>341794326
>oh boy, another soldier game
>sure need more of those
>oh boy, another racing game
>sure need more of those
>oh boy, another ninja game
>sure need more of those
I'm not trying to specifically defend zombies, but next time try an argument that doesn't apply to literally everything in the industry.
Personally, I kinda like the "super fast very large horde" concept -- almost like a toned-down World War Z. I can appreciate the tension seeing that mass screaming at you would elicit. Every other zombie game have zombies that are some combination of: aren't fast enough / aren't in large enough hordes / go down with a couple measly bodyshots. I never feel anxiety or tension; I never really feel sufficiently threatened. Seeing a horde of ~300 zombies coming towards me in an Olympic sprint might finally make me anxious again.
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't look amazing or anything. I'll pick it up eventually for sub-$30 unless it inexplicably gets really positive word-of-mouth.
Wish it was like TLOU in terms of scavenging and crafting, only deeper. With 2-3 player co-op too. I just want a fucking DayZ style game that actually works
>>341793950
>Different kind of zombies
But zombies, none the less. Holy shit, when will this fad die?
>>341795172
>>341795317
Loved Dying Light but haven't played the DLC, I always find it annyoing to go back to games and play DLC when I finished the main game a long time ago
>>341795526
good game thats so visually hideous I have a hard time even looking at it
>>341793950
All of the points you listed sound completely generic and non hype inducing.
>>341795808to you
>>341795574
But Anon.
We DO need more Ninja games.
>>341795509
If I had known PS4 would be getting so much exclusive shit I wouldnt have gotten an Xbox in the first place. Since when is fucking earth defense force a play station exclusive?
>>341794758
Seconded. Hard to put my finger on it and it's easy to drop it early due to minimal plot and some clunkiness but once I got a few hours in and started the "grab a posse for a scavenging run" and "upgrading/supplying/defending outposts" gameplay loop, I couldn't stop playing. I pretty much 100%ed in a week and will probably never touch it again, but it was time well spent.
tl;dr - It's surprisingly good and worth a shot for $10 or under.
>>341795574
Why the hell are more vampire games not a thing? We got like a bazillion vampire movies in the last decade
>player was literally able to run through zombies with impunity
>zombies stop before attacking so if you simply keep running you wont get hit
If you didnt notice this from the e3 presentation, youre retarded. The game looks boring as fuck too. Dont need yet ANOTHER zombie fucking game. Even though this looks like 'rage' zombie version. The genre is tired and at this point uninspired.
>>341795504
ok that's fine but personally I feel that you create a barrier with that kind of mentality, however I have no place judging your personal preferences
>>341795336
Literally no one else is expecting that.

Wow
That really seems super generic
>>341796151
np dude, will check out some videos maybe.
Literally only PC faggots who doesn't want more zombie games because you're used to playing all those early access games
>>341793950
looks like boring interactive movie shit
the map will probably be tiny and there will most likely be no survival mechanics
>>341793950
>Different kind of zombies
You cannot fathom how little difference this makes.
Zombies are old and tired. Developers of anything really need to find something new or not bother with monsters at all.
They said you need to keep track of your bike, it won't magically appear for you on an exit and you can't easily replace it with another vehicle.
So I hope not only is there some level of maintenance or gasoline management, but that when you leave the bike your inventory space is extremely limited. I don't want to be able to run around the world with 10 guns on me and a shit ton of ammo, healing stuff, molotovs etc. All that should be on the saddlebags on the bike, you take what you can actually hold in pouches and shit.
>>341795574
actually we are facing a Ninja game drought, Tenchu on the Wii was probably the last stealth 3D ninja game
>>341793950
The game actually looks grea-
>Only on PSA
Lmao another shitty zombie game! Fucking into the trash it goes
>>341795574
you sound like a fucking idiot. racing is an entire genre. "soldier" games aren't a genre. and neither are zombies. ninja games don't even exist.
open world survival zombie games are a very specific sub genre that we do need less of. you could mix that formula up a million ways but devs are insistent upon that particular one because it was trendy for a year five years ago. just like how not every racing game has to be forza, then can be 2d, 3d, cars, boats, whatever. just like open world survival doesn't need zombies. and zombie games don't need to be open world
>>341796734
>open world survival zombie games are a very specific sub genre that we do need less of
But there's almost no good and finished games like that
>>341793950
It's more like if Dead Rising was tempered with The Last of Us's shitty-ness. I can't wait to "cinematically" take out a "cinematic" horde against a "cinematic" backdrop, complete with a rough-and-tumble anti-hero main character who was just trying to get by until the events in the game.
It's the first game that does zombie as i imagined, give actual hordes without you feeling overpowered like in Left4Dead.
I've been thirsty for zombie products since I was seven years old and watched Return of the Living Dead, nearly 20 years latter and I still can't get enough. The huge surge in popularity has been fucking magical.
>>341793950

>>341793950

it needs more cruhazyness, but I kinda see your point

Jesus christ, if you're gonna platform war shitpost at least do it about good games like Nier Automata.
>>341793950
c-could it really be true? Do we really get a zombie game done right?
>"PS4 only, kill yerselves ye who only owns a Personal Computer"
I fucking hate stupid ass zombie games! we already have like a thousand of them! Like seriously, frig off?!

I won't knock it, but I just just not my kind of game. I kinda got tired of all the zombies/open-world combination.

>Sonyggers on full damage control
Kek
I'm excited for this game, I just hope it will allow you to be super stealth at all times.
I would hate to be forced to run away from angry horde of zombies.
I just want to sneak by the whole game unnoticed.
I really can't care less for the zombies, but if this have some kind of motorcycle combat with weapon crafting/upgrading for your bike I'll get it.
It's there even a game with good bike combat other than Twisted Metal?
Just noticed that Siphon Filter and Splinter Cell are different games series
I have no hype for this, but I won't say the zombie market is over saturated. We've still yet to get a game that's truly done right, so keep them coming no matter how long it takes.

>>341799284
>Ride to Hell was critically panned to the point where it is considered one of the worst video games ever

Just looked it up on wikipedia, is this supposed to be "good"?
>>341799602
It's hilariously bad, you should look up a playthrough while taking a shit or something
haven't watched the gameplay trailer yet but do we get to ride motorcycles at all?
Crossed style post-apocalypse game when? Would probaly be rated AO, but it would be fun as fuck to actually fight semi-intelligent zombie-likes.
>>341799964

>>341793950
>Players are allowed to use multiple ways to complete objectives, such as utilizing stealth and taking the aggressive approach.
wow! this is some morrowind shit!
>>341796969
dead rising, day z, state of decay, dead island and dying light within the last 3 or 4 years and innumerable half finished ones on early access.
This sounds like my kinda game desu
>>341800123
oh fuck yes
>>341793950
The problem is, for how long will it be interesting?
Shooting 10000000000 zombies over and over again could get boring real quick
>>341793950
>Zombies aren't called zombies
Why do people do this? It's not like a "real world except with zombies" setting didn't have the word zombie, so what reason in setting do they have for not using the term specific for describing these things? It's like making a fantasy setting and calling dwarves 'shorties' instead of dwarves.
>>341801419
Like Elder Scrolls and Kingdom of Amalur, they call the races some stupid shit
>>341793950
>Its like game and game had a baby
>>341801419
It's the same shit as when characters in zombie games or movies never watched zombie games, like wtf. If a real zombies would show up we'd kinda know what to do because of infinite zombie movies and games. But in movies and games it's always like noone ever thought of the idea of zombies

>>341794420
Hell, I'd be fine with zombies again if they were creative with it. Imagine an open world zombie survival game where they are necromancy zombies, not virus zombies. You have mad cultists and necromancers roaming the post-apocalyptic world, unleashing all manner of horrible undead monstrosities upon the world.
>>341802620
Don't forget Dead Island, that's also getting another sequel.
>>341793950
>zombies die in one hit anywhere
>shitty gun mechanics and customization
>no atmosphere
>shitty cookie cutter template TPS set up.
Yeah, granted it's cool to see that many zombies working as a horde, but there's a lot of zombie games out already that do the whole thing way better.
This is just going to be something where it's 90% brown people crying about what used to be instead of some actually scary shit or atmospheric survival game.
>>341793950
I dunno, that E3 gameplay thing they had looked pretty boring.
>>341802681
>You have mad cultists and necromancers roaming the post-apocalyptic world, unleashing all manner of horrible undead monstrosities upon the world.
So, Dragon's Dogma?
>>341802698
When the fuck is that even coming out? Any new info recently?
>>341802812
Yes, but with more guns.
>>341794420
Because even though there's 10000 games copying off of it, DayZ mod is the only good one, and the DayZ standalone is the only decent one, and the other 99.9999% of them are complete ass.
These games say they've got a hold of survival or horror or whatever, but DayZ mod with it's very simple survival mechanics based in a 2009 game manages to outdo all the random shit they push now, that all just turn into some giant battle royale shitfest, where you can craft M60s out of antlers and semen.
>>341802869
It got cancelled and juggled between devs at various points
>>341793950
>REAL hoard of Zombies attacking you
It looked like the waves of Zombies from World War Z. There was no way to take it seriously after that.
>>341802681
Now imagine a game where you are the necromancer, Like Overlord, just better and a much larger scale in every aspect.
>>341794581
>How many good open world zombie games do we have?
DayZ mod, Dying Light and pretty much nothing else.
>>341802698
By the Spec Ops The Line devs too.
Wonder if it'll be actually "deep" this time, like the first one's trailer implied it would be.
>>341795159
This and dying light are probably the two best examples.
>>341793950
>Third-person survival shooter with crafting and zombies #3860297
No thanks.
>>341795672
Dying Light's DLC is totally worth it. Wait a week to see if it goes on the Steam Sale, but the DLC could easily have just been Dying Light 2 and been worth it. It was great.
>>341803146
Aren't the zombies in DayZ pretty harmless?
>>341796358
Very few ever even try to do zombies right. I'm tired of bad zombies because I'd like someone to do some good zombies.
I'd be tired of literally anything when it's done badly a dozen times, and still would hope someone would get it right.

>Open World

Aside from that last point State of Decay already does most of that desu. Also Its sequel is coming out 2017 so it will just expand on that even further.
>>341803549
Once you get the hang of it they're manageable.
In the mod, it takes a while to get used to them, but because they have weird hitboxes and can randomly break your legs or cause you bleeding and infection, if you haven't got decent medical stock they can leave you fucked. No antibiotics and that zombie from 2 hours ago kills you anyway because he got you sick. And they're as fast as you are, you have to get them to lose sight of you because you can't outrun them straight up. And it's all complicated because you don't start with a weapon at all, so you can be fucked before you can find anything to defend yourself with.
On top of that, they can see and hear you from 100s of meters away. The biggest problem with DayZ mod zombies is they're easy to take down, and there isn't a lot of them.
DayZ Standalone the zombies are a little tougher, especially if you haven't got a weapon, but now you can actually straight outrun them.
Once you get pretty experienced and get used to things you mostly avoid them or kill them pretty easily.
the motorbike is literally the only thing really interesting in this
You'll probably be better off playing Ubisoft's Wildlands thing since the bikes in that look functional

>>341803256
Didn't the spec ops devs stop working on dead island 2 recently? Its being worked on by another studio now IIRC

>>341805113
why does anyone like Dead Island?
I thought it was kinda shit from the way people discuss it, but I've never played it since it's a zombie game
>>341793950
>the MC is a road captain of a biker gang
Well thats a first because the last biker I remember was a jewish cuckold who got his head stomped in by some Canadian tweaker afraid of clowns.
>>341805698
I'm not sure, I played through the first one in it's entirely, I guess there was just a certain brutality to it that kept it interesting, it was compared to borderlands, and that couldn't even keep my interest for 3 hours, things just felt so repetitive in Borderlands...maybe it was the innate desperation and tension in Dead Island that kept me playing.
>>341805698
It was awful at launch, but after it got patched it was good, especially co-op. I think I played the main game 3 times, Riptide twice, Escape Dead Island (horrible) and the MOBA (also horrible) and even read the novel. Xian Mei and Sam B were my favorite
>>341805673
or just really good shopping deals
>>341804943
They also need death animations like in outlast where you can see yourself get your head pulled off, or in DOOM, zombie games need to add death shit where you can watch yourself get torn apart and eaten, and it shouldn't be a quick thing, but drawn out.
Pretty much they need to give you a first person perspective for dying like this.

There was a bunch of environmental interacts to slow the horde down. Like dropping logs down and the mechanic of them stepping on each other to get up is pretty awesome.
I just hope this is a good GAEM. Like, fuck its another open world game and humans or zombies its all boring shit.

>>341805673
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of these really closely bunched together zombies all shoulder to shoulder and nuts to butts style of horde that all more like a liquid.
Hordes that are more spread out but just as numberous like this I feel are superior.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yvTZNpfcfk
The only time I could see them as closely bunched up like that is when there's something blocking their path like this in 2004 Dawn of the Dead.

Low potential. They didn't show off safe zones, because you have to take a bounty hunting mission from someone, didn't show inventory and how the bike matters in terms of repairing or gasoline maybe. They showed world war z zombies, which is fine I guess.
Its better than slow zombies and better than fast but low numbers zombies.
