like example, zombies dont run.

I love when zombies run in movies a lot more, better than them dragging their legs and limping while they somehow manage to catch and eat you

Take note, that the modern Zombie movie has only been around for a few silly decades and has undergone many evolutions, the most inspiring which have been to give the walking dead the abilities to sprint and mob up.

Looks pretty cool... although it doesn't really give any hints as to what the gameplay will be like.

while zombies are the new the black, the way I see it there's two kinds:

1. The kind that are about as cunning as popcorn. slow, limping, overall stupid.

2. the ruthless ones that want to and will tear everything limb from limb then eat it and seem to have the physical prowess to do so. and are usually kinda smart.

Im a fan of the zombies that limp around like morons until they sense people about, and then go batshit insane and fuck you up.

watch any of George A. Romero's stuff (the creator of zombie films, dawn of the dead, day of the dead, night of the living dead, wrote world war z). or read any legit graphic novel, the walking dead for example.

they dont run in any of those. the only reason people get caught by them is because they get surrounded or run into a dead end, or run into more.

Saw this. So stoked. Cant wait till 2008 lol. But anyways, I dont think it would be any fun with slow ass zombies. Its like getting a slow mo cheat on gta or something and just killing everyone. it gets super boring after a while.

because game makers know that a flashy trailer sells more than good gameplay. It doesn't matter how bad a game is, if the graphics are good people will still think it's the greatest game ever

Yo, it's gonna be a FPS-style exploration game ála Far Cry. With plot and choice elements similar to Deus Ex. Ingredients are good, but will it mix correctly?

wow. that game looks fantastic. i was almost shedding tears from that.

also i would like to comment that it doesn't matter if zombies are fast or slow.  their habits are up to the creative interpretations of the author/creator to fit the circumstances of the storyline. as long as they want human flesh and are undead, i'm fine with fast or slow zombies. what is important is that the story is compelling, which this game and storyline clearly is.

do want.

Dawn of the dead
28 days later
the first Resident Evil
I just saw a good one and I can't recall the name.
I mean i have seen a ton but I cannot for the life of me pull up names. I really like dramatic run downs and heartbreaking terror and murder of families.

"Limited projectile weaponry and ammunition."

So basically you'll be upgrading your stick into big ol' killing stick.

This looks so sick.

and as for the speed of zombies, i find fast, ruthless zombies much more terrifying than slow zombies.  in my opinion, the speed of the zombie should be determined by the amount of time that person has been dead on account of rigor mortis(stiff limbs after death).  this would logically explain the waddle in the old school zombie's step and the stiff arms.  my ideal zombie movie would have zombies of all speeds. 
hooray equality

to be fair, george a romero's remakes changed the zombies a lot. they either began communicating or just running. he's the fucking man. i saw a great interview with him on that show with george stroumbolopoulos... anywho. this thing looks awesome. i heart zombies so much i'll watch even the crappy movies.
