Zombie games?

[Scarletmarine]

Hey, I heard of the up coming game called Left 4 Dead and i'm probilly going to get the game. What other good zombie games are there for 360 or PC? Not Dead Rising either.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

None to be honest, the zombie gaming market is actually really untapped to be honest. Capcom has really been the only company thats explored it some extent, and Left 4 Dead is definitly going to be the game for us zombie killers. But yeah, sadly there really arent too many out there aside from the Resident Evil series.

Also, I say there arent really any because of the style of these zombie games. Dead Rising was an awesome zombie game except for the stupid "boss" battles. Oh well.

Resident evil and thats about it unless you play an RPG with the some zombies in it

 

[Scarletmarine]

I swear if I was the idiot who came up with the games I would think. Zombies a hardly tapped resoruce. Then again, maybe that's what makes it so specail when a real zombie game comes out(No alien zombies or VooDoo zombies or anything but a virus... bitchin reality).

Silent Hill's creatures are sorta like zombies, unless you want a shooty-bang-bang zombie game instead of a survival/horror.

Besides Dead Rising, I cannot think of any, but I have a bone to pick with Left 4 Dead. Frankly, when I think of a zombie game, I think of a slow paced shooter where most of the fear and fun comes from the tension of knowing zombies are everywhere and even hearing their moans. That's what annoys me about Left 4 Dead, its a run and gun shooter, where the zombies are fast and there's ammo everywhere. I think zombie games should be more about survival and less about the action, infact, the game should reward you for avoiding wasting your precious, precious bullets.

The House...of the Dead.......

quite possibly the greatest zombie rail shooter series...the first 3 of the series are for PC, 2 and 3 are on the original XBox

yeah it's true. Games constantly reward people for wasting a crap load of bullets but yet they never reward them for being conservative with ammo.

what about half life 2?

What about it? It was a game that had zombies...not a game about zombies.

Zombie panic source

its an incredible fun HL2 mod that embodies what it means to be a zombie look it up now!

I would love a mmorpg zombie game (were you can choose to be either zombie or human) , with no story line except kill either humans or zombies. It would be set in a huge city (like New York or just a fictional one) that was fully inter actable. That game would so kick ass.

Oh and another race would be some kind off insane human cultist that wanted everyone dead (except fellow cultists)

I would love to see a Zombie Game based on World War Z and the Zombie Surival Guide, given that in the last decade Zombie films like Romero's have become rather popular again there is a lot of untapped potential. I avoided Dead Rising as I felt simply being stuck in a Mall, despite the sandbox nature was rather limited. I want to see the whole world suffering from a Zombie outbreak.

The concept is already there in the Fallout series, your a survivor hiding in a secure bunker somewhere in a devastared world. It should be a simply matter to take that concept and alter it for a Zombie Game. Adding in a skill system like in Mass Effect and Oblivion where you start off with some skill in things like swords, Shotguns, and similiar to how Dead Rising and Mass Effect do it, have a group of players alongside you who you find during the outbreak. They of course have different skills to bring to bear.

Then it's a case of finding a secure location to hide, regroup and getting ready to fight off the Zombie Hordes, which take you into abandoned Military Bases or Cities to try and scavenge for what you need, and also allowing you to develop your base to make ti mroe self sufficient, by adding crops or radio communications, and from there on your actions affect how the world fights back, aid the humans in reclaiming the Earth or decide to try to rule the Zombie world yourself for example.

I could go into more detail, as I have plenty mroe ideas to bring to the table, and I know games have been there and gone all the concepts I have mentioned, but this is just how i think a Zombie Game should be.

*shakes fist* damn you got to it before I did, this would be what i would expect a zombie game to be, but one thing I think most of these zombie games dont really look at is the pure lets #$%& each other over mentality of the human race.... we would all love to think we would all join together and be friends to fight the zombie hordes.... but hell we know better...
