really, I think an fps or a tps is good for the story aspect. Dead rising is prime example. however, the mall Idea is getting kinda overused like a cheap prostitute, so lets mix it up a bit shall we?

for mine, it would be and open world, with 3 parts of the city: rural, subrubia, and the urban clusterfuck we all know and fell like throwing a pick axe at random fuckwits. Id basically be a fpsrpg thing where you can use anything you can find, kill whatever moves, and choose to restart the human race. or make a base and take on an exterminator role. if I had to choose a platform for it, id either be on pc or 360. and also- screw trying to find out who or what caused the zombies. maybe what caused it later, but all this "lets go and find the guy that made the zombies and kill him" is totally impractical and something any sane person would stray from, unless they had a death wish, or was somehow involved. I just need a game where its you (and maybe a group of lesser, if not equaly insane people) vs a hungry mob of flesh eating mongrels stumbling (or shambling) closer to bite your head off.

Submarines. Like, a fleet of them gets zombified. All hell breaks loose. And you better not drown in the process.

You are half zombie and instead of eating people, you eat zombies (which could recover health, give you XP, or keep you from turning all zombie). Make it an open city where you can focus on anything ie: searching for and helping survivors, exterminating the zombie menace, finding a cure for your... um... partial zombiness, getting the military to extract you from this horrible place, or trying to get to a zombie- free part of the country/state/world. Anything is a weapon, from guns to knives to bricks to tasers to hunks of a destroyed building. Go anywhere anytime and do whatever whenever. Total freedom in a zombie filled world.

So far I like the Left 4 Dead way. A few people have an immunity to the virus or whatever because that to me seems more realistic.

I want to see Military Zombie Shooter. Like Call of Duty: Zombie Warfare. Call of Duty 4 gameplay and graphics with (fast?) Zombies. You always see how the survivors attempt to escape and survive but you never get to see how the Army deals with the Zombie menace. The story would be simple enough. A zombie outbreak occurs (Most likly in Russia, everything happens in Russia) and the various armies of the would attempt to contain and destory it (I really do think Infinity Ward could do this and make it good.)

Another Zombie type I would be intrested in is a 10 years later look at a Global Zombie outbreak. The last remaining Humans would be located in a fortified. (country, state, city?)There are a few different games I could see being make out of this. One would be a sort of Fallout 3 type game. Not excaly the same but in the same vein. Another would be a sort of RTS/FPS type thing where you are the leader of the Human race and you would make strategic choices like where to attack, what is important: Reaserch or Survival? But it wouldn't focas to much into the Resource management and still let you have participate in the battles and recon missions some good old Zombie killing fun. (I am thinking it should have a Zombie sniping range, they could fit that in.)

giving players an entire town filled with buildings you can go an barricade yourself in, gun shops to loot, food to steal and its all a sandbox game, this is a bad simile but, GTA with Zombies.

There has yet to be a zombie apocalypse mmo. You play as a survivor the tutorial zone is day one of the outbreak. You need to establish fortifications mantain supplies keep other survivors in check. There will be free pvp but no leveling rpg crap so you cant overpower your friends and it is a matter of needing their resources or defending yours.

Were-Zeds!

I'd like to see a zombie outbreak set in a football statium, too.

Ohh! I know! a zombie outbreak at one of those specialty nightclubs were everyone tries to look dead. Figure out whose a survivor, and who just likes makeup.

I know! Zombies on a cruise!

Zombies in the line for Halo 3!

Hmm....

Why not mix it up with something that we KNOW is going to have another game made of it anyway? A prime example would be a WWII shooter. You could have a zombie outbreak from a German secret research facility. It could even have different modes where you play a German soldier, a prisoner or an Allied soldier.

Yes. Colonial era zombies.

What's that? 20 seconds to load ol' Brown Bess, at best?

Best fix bayonets, son.

Now THERE is a fresh, terrifying spin on things.

In the far future Zombie slaves labor in the crystal mines for their fleshy masters. Rise up and lead your fellow undead to freedom from your breathing enslavers and their functioning organs of doooooooom!!

Basically your a Zombie who is slightly smarter than the other zombies and you lead them in a rebellion against the people who resurrected you to labor for them. No virus, technology. So when you kill people you can take their corpses and slap them into a captured resurrect-o-tron and make another zombie minion. Also since it's in the future you get to fight robots. Zombies versus Robots is super awesome.

EDIT: thought of something that would make it even more amazing, Don't tell the players that the goal is to lead a rebellion, just start them off in the mines and let them do whatever they want. See if they have a lot of patience and spend five hours mining crystals before going online to leave angry reviews.

How about you can get multiple maps,# of NPCs(can be 0), and random weapon placements. Basic survival needs can be optional. There could be all sorts of gamemodes. Rescue,survival,sample capture,defend,King of the hill (It could work). Mabye online? The possibilities are endless with this.

Maps:
Football stadium (Erana's idea)
Rural House with farm
City
Single Skyscraper building
etc.

Types of NPC:
Freaked out
Hostile
Let's go kill them
Let's stay here
