Activision Reveals Walking Dead First-Person Shooter
IGN writes, "Activision has announced a new game based on The Walking Dead. Not to be confused with Telltale’s episodic The Walking Dead adventure game, Activision’s version is a first-person action game based on AMC’s The Walking Dead TV show."
(Activision, PC, PS3, Terminal Reality, Xbox 360)
They already talked about going rambo....Which would NEVER be an option in the TWD world....
Honestly this game will most likely just rehash the COD engine just like almost every other shooter Activision makes. The best you are going to get is Singularity like gameplay, which is a bunch of cool perks that are never exploited and at the end of the day its COD with a new story and perks.
I hope I'm wrong, but if you honestly think Activision isn't just simply cashing in here, then you will be disappointed. They got the FPS crowd interested, and they got TWD crowd interested, its easy money.
Why oh why do people still get their hopes up for games like these?
I mean when is the last time a no name game developer (activison is the publisher NOT developer) made a game based on a movie or show that wasn't just awful??
I mean to be honest I can't even think of a legitimate studio that has produced a game based on a movie or show that was barley more than okay at best.
I just don't understand given the track record why gamers still get pumped for stuff like this.
Bob Dole's infinite wisdom and knowledge says this game is based on the comic books. TV show has already strayed way off from the story of the comics. This game hasn't (yet).
They know people like the CoD Zombies, so why not take a popular show and make it into an FPS, it's a pretty smart idea on Activisions part regardless if it turns out to be good or bad I think they'll make sales.
Okay good for you but for me ugh another first person zombie game no thanks. Telltale's The Walking Dead game is pretty good and emotional. This is activision and is just going to be the expanded version of the zombie mode from COD
they used to be one of my favorite devs with BloodRayne 1 and 2 (i know i'm the only one) but after Ghostbusters and Star Wars Kinect Im not sure about them anymore...
Exactly, the games currently being made by telltale games have just the right mix of action and story. There really isn't any need for a new Walking Dead game.
An FPS game just doesn't make any sense, TWD isn't that kind of genre.
Well, the comic doesn't have that said racist redneck so blame the show runners and tv writers for that. The characters in the comic are also so much better than the ones on the tv show.
@disagrees
Ok. Daryl isn't in the comics yet... But the show has botched pretty much all my favorite characters in the comic. Andrea, Dale, and Carol are/were just awful and they didn't even introduce Tyreese whom is my favorite character in the comic.
Ricks developing into the character he is in the comics. Andrea is also developing, slowly and annoying as hell, but developing. They couldn't follow Dales storyline in the comics on TV, there is no way people would allow that to happen.
I agree with Carol though. She is the most pointless character on the show, and needs to go. And Whats up with Carl being a total idiot?
A for Tyreese, they have a budget and have to pay each character. They can't just draw them in and write a story, it costs money on TV. I'm sure more characters will come when more characters die. They can't have 50 people running around.
Meh, I'd much rather see The Walking Dead as an RPG similar to Fallout 3. I think a sandbox environment would've been crazy fun to play in for this perticular IP.
Could be one interesting game, seeing as I'm a huge Walking Dead fan, I could see huge potential seeing as The Walking Dead is massive at the moment. But one doubt that I have, is Activision, could they pull it off? They've screwed up quite a few potential good games in the past.
Dead Island showed a FPS Zombie game can have solid potential... and the current Walking Dead game is showing that the game cannon has enough to make it an interesting world / premise. BUT... what makes the Walking Dead TV show and current game so good is the relationships and personalities of the living...not the walking dead. I love the show and game because I care about the people. I fear that premise will be totally lost in an FPS game.
I don't think VanillaBear ever says anything positive. He's not a 'This glass is half full' kinda guy. He's not even a 'This glass is half empty' kinda guy, he's a 'There is no glass' kinda guy.
In this industry this day and age can you honestly blame me. You might think I'm always negative but the fact is I'm just being realistic
People don't learn from their mistakes, people keep giving developers a chance when they damn well know the outcome and all they are doing is giving the developers a happy sale in the end.
In the end I'm just the one who dosen't get his hopes up and then crushed.
I mean look at this logicaly...the chances of this being good knowing it's Activision.....it's not good.
TWD is known as one of the deepest zombie apocalypse universes and what Activision is doing is the exact opposite of what makes TWD appealing in the first place.

What the hell, telltales adaption is perfect! It grips you like the comics and the tv show does.
I just finished episode 2 of the game and was talking to my mate about how i personally think it's the best tv show adaption i've ever played.
It gets your emotions going, you feel guilty, you feel like you NEED to protect Clem(look i even call her by the nickname).
Activision will create nothing but a cash in, look what they do to the bond games.
-_-
fixed
That's gone man. Went up in flames.
They all end up being crap games but spend large amounts of money on advertising campaigns and cg trailers that sucker people into buying it.
As long as they have the money they don't care what happens afterwards.
Gaming is heading in a sad direction.
Meh. Naughty Dog has the real magic.
*edit* "Developed by terminal reality" confirmed to be glitchy half assed game!
I am not getting it. I am SICK of first person games.

It would be wayyy more affective if it was a third-person shooter.
I just get the feeling this will just be a cash in.
And yet for some strange reason, i feel that if its a Third Person shooter, it wont be :/ Anyone else feel that way?
Typical.
But hey, that's my opinion.
Sure! Hey, here's an idea. Lets give them a game of their own.
@ss in the making.
So there's at least 10 racist bastards, bigoted fools that need a hangin' out there.
Nice to know.
I wonder if they live in the city's or out their in the heartland?
Bet they HATED Obamacare also.
Sounds like acti is going to screw this one up by adding tons of zombies and ammo in a universe where it wouldnt fit. GJ acti.......
Zombies,FPS,Activision.....i love this generation!
Lets hope they can pull it off...
Should of been given to a respected developer and should of been a third person shooter instead.

Think about the Bond games and how they're not really Bond games...
I'll wait and see but Activision tends to suck out of the fun out of the room. Goldeneye anyone?
