An idea for a decent Zombieland game tie-in

[jesso360]

Ok so Zombieland was awesome, that's not up for debate, and movie tie-ins are usually shit. But I've had an amazing idea for a tie-in that would actually work as a game.

Working from the "Zombie Kill Of The Week" joke from the film we could set up something like Madworld, where the objective is not primarily to kill enemies but to kill them in awesome ways.

I can hear you saying already, "But Madworld was crap because computers can't judge awesomeness automaticly, and the points awarded never accurately reflected how cool a kill was." Well therein lies my genius idea. We make other players judge each other's kills and award points of say 100. A kill that got lots of good ratings on average would make it into daily, weekly, monthly and overall charts for awesomeness.

It could all be done over xbox live / ps3 network, would require interesting level design and a good physics engine so that players could really use their imaginations when killing zombies.

Oh yeah, and anyone who gets the "Zombie Kill Of The Week" gets to play as Bill Murray.

I'll be expecting letters from all major game developers offering me seven figure salaries very soon.

As if anyone would judge fairly or even bother judging at all.

You'd probably want to go further down the lines of Terror is Reality from Dead Rising 2.

Yeah, That will never happen.

"Zombieland" was good, not awesome. "Madworld" was fun.

However, that idea is even worse than "Madworld"'s computer judge, and the only other posters have already outlined the main reasons why. Atleast a computer judge sets its own ideal standard and you work towards it, with a mass of online judges there will be dozens of set standards and people just genuinely being assholes.

Like the Bill Murray idea, though.

Left 4 Dead is basicully the game version

Words cannot describe how stupid that idea is.

Nah it's not a bad idea, it would just never work as a full release game. An arcade live or psn title though and I can see it.

Very true. Carnival level, L4D2? Yeah, deja vu much - the clown's noses even honk

The charaters could easily be moded to look like the actors and you could use voice clips from the film.

Just remember if their is a mod you heard it here first.
