They won't go away for several reasons: 1. It appeals to many young gamers because "zombies are cool". 2. It's very easy to make NPCs. AI is not an issue with hordes. 3. You can sell a brutal zombie game to teenagers as zombies are not real people (it doesn't count they were). 4. You don't really need to think about art style when you produce graphics with corpses. 5. Zombie games sell.
Imagine if they made a zombie movie but along the plot of Twilight. Some stupid chick falling in love with a zombie who want to eat her brains. Actually, no... if it becomes popular and becomes a trilogy, i would really hate people.
Anyway on topic, DayZ and The Walking Dead were the type zombie games I was waiting for, and now we have them I'm pretty fed up with the standard zombie game. Until someone mixes the two: an open world realistic zombie survival game, but with realistic human characters and consequences to your decisions. I thought Dead Island would be that game, but we know how that turned out.
Why do some people feel the need to say "NO more zombie games" ????
Surely you can just pick one of the many other games out there and play that instead???
The fact that they are popular means that some people want them..... and they will be catered for as the games industry doesn't just cater for a select few!
Now I can fully understand people saying "NO more CRAP zombie games.... only release decent ones!" and that I could get on board with as lets be honest.... more often than not zombie games and zombie movies are crap and could easily be a lot better!
I personally like zombie movies and games, but I feel that the genre is severely lacking many quality offerings!
How can one be tired of zombies. They think they are "hip" and "against the grain" to suggest declining zombie games. If you look at it, Zombies are always going to be popular one year, then die down the next, then just become even more popular later. THERE'S NO STOPPING THE ZOMBIE HORDE!
If you don't like *insert game type here* games, then don't buy *insert game type here* games. Speak with your wallet and quit pretending your opinion is some great universal truth that the poor oppressed masses are afraid to speak out loud. I love shooting zombies myself, and the "perfect" zombie game hasn't been made yet.

zombies are so hot right now. If not, throw a molotov cocktail on one and they soon will be.

just came out.
either way more of both, this is a trend im pleased with personally.

Although to call it a 'zombie' is stretching it.

Military shooters though....
There is so much more that can be done!
Overused idea.
