whens this game coming out

InMyOpinion5776d ago

IGN has it dated as November 20.

Spread Butt Cheeks5776d ago

for providing an excellent architecture. the developers have spoken and the 360 is the official home of all heavy hitters this holiday.

enjoy Afrika lol

lowcarb5776d ago (Edited 5776d ago )

I couldof sworn i read somewhere it was being released on nov.4th. Oh well it's almost here anyway even though Halloween would be a great time for this to release.

Dyingduck5776d ago

The game looks dull and border-line sh*tty.

The graphic reminds me of N64 graphics.

You are floating.

I bet it's one of those, "COOL!!!!!!!!! *24 hours later* let's get back to CoDIV"

Sigh...what does Crapbox360 have to offer this year and next year?
Wait, what about your beloved FFXIII?

The following games already flopped:

lost flop = flop
flop dragon = flop
tales of flop = flop (7.25 from Game Informer)
too flop = flop
infinite flop = flop (7.1 from IGN)
360 = king of FLOPS

Banjo3 = Awful textures, bad game play, and now they've turned the game into a racer for 40 BUCKS. This will get owned by LBP 8 ways to Sunday
Gears2 = AKA Gears1.5 using the same old engine 4 years ago, 5vs5 MP
(See: http://i37.tinypic.com/1zvp...
Alan Wake = a myth
L4D = N64 graphics anyone?

While, the anticipated released PS3 exclusives during FALL 2008:
HOME (free)
LittleBigPlanet (21 Oct)
Resistance 2 (04 Nov)
SOCOM: Confrontation (14 Oct)
BioShock with Exclusive DLC (21 Oct)
Motorstorm:Pacific Rift (07 Oct)
Valkyria Chronicles (11 Nov)

Keep in mind that these are ALL PS3 exclusive, unlike crapbox exclusives which also appear on PC (e.g. Gears1+Mass Effect)

Anticipated releases (exclusives) in 2009:

God of War 3
Heavy Rain
M.A.G.
KILL ZONE 2
White Knight Chronicles
InFamous
Uncharted 2
Twisted Metal
Final Fantasy Versus XIII (maybe 2010)
PS3 exclusive from the legendary Team ICO

What does Crapbox360 have to offer in 2009? Halo Power Ranger Wars…

Wait, what about your beloved FFXIII?
You can only get the true FF experience on the PS3:
PS3 = Lead platform for FFXIII, and has been since 2005.
PS3 version = On a 50 GB Blu-ray disc, uncompressed.

In addition:
1. Exclusive FFXIII demo in March 2009 on PS3
2. Exclusive FFXIII in Japan - for you Japanese speaker to port since no regional lock unlike the crapbox DVDs
3. Exclusive FFXIII Versus on PS3
4. Exclusive FFXIII Agito on PSP

The 360 version is a port. So I really shouldn't be calling it a "version" at all.
The 360 PORT hasn't even gone into development.
The 360 PORT will be on multiple DVD's and it will “probably” STILL look worse than the PS3 version (e.g. RAGE + Far Cry II)

ON top of:
RROD + warranty expiring, Microwave Oven-heat + Lawnmower-noise + Disc scratchier + non-BR + 50 USD Live per year + no Wifi + no HDMI port + no upgradable HD = horrible values for your money

TheXgamerLive5776d ago

is the diverse area's you play in as well as the speed at which your player and the zombies can move.

Any second you can and will be caught off guard. I love it.

Firstkn1ghT5776d ago (Edited 5776d ago )

OMG, This game looks intense!!! This is the type of game where I'm going to be screaming with my buddies over Live. I love the fast zombies. Looks like we have 28 Days speedy zombies and not the slow easy to kill zombies. Damn their are a lot of games coming out on the 360 the next few months. I was originally not going to get this because of all the other games but I'm now sold. Day 1 purchase for me.

lowcarb5776d ago

This game is looking crazy sick and way under hyped. 360 is looking sweeter by the minute and this holiday is going to be great for gamers.

5776d ago
SmokeyMcBear5776d ago

dude.. this game looks like crap.. everyone is just floating.. the environments arent detailed.. the zombie characters look extremely bland.. this game sucks

juuken5776d ago

My head spun watching the video. o_o

shutupandplay5776d ago

lol jealous because you cant play it. the bad news is its coming out close to gears of war 2. good news is that its beter than ps3 games.

Boldy5776d ago

They've already stated the reason that the zombies are washed out and grey looking was to make your teammates pop out more so they are more easily identifiable among a mass of zombies.

RonDeMuerte5776d ago (Edited 5776d ago )

otherwise I'd probably sound like a retard praising this game....

@ Alpha Gamer

yeah you should talk.....you Micro Machines turn into graphical sluts every f@ckin time they show something about Gears of War 2......and does this game come on a disc because I've seen better looking downloadable games on the Playstation Network....hahahahaha

I love how X-bots mention Afrika....hahahaha a game that's not even 1% similar to this crap.....why don't you little b!tches man up and compare it to the likes of Killzone 2 or Resistance 2....they are way more similar than Afrika is....hahahahaha oh wait I'm sorry...those games aren't similar to this one at all!!! they both look awesome!!!

Alpha_Gamer5776d ago

How cute, another sony graphic whore. Gameplay > Graphics. Go watch a MGS4 movie if it matters that much to you.

LevDog5776d ago

I agree.. It looks like one of those games you would have fun with for like a week.. My buddy wants this for Wii and I never heard of it.. So This is the first vid I watched.. Wasnt impressed.. Seriously Outside of Gears, Does the 360 have any good graphical games? Im not trying to be a fanboy but Nothing on 360 has ever jumped out at me

juuken5776d ago (Edited 5776d ago )

Holy sh*t, bots are seriously blind these days.

The game looks mediocre already. I mean...seriously, WHAT'S WITH THE FLOATING PEOPLE?! The game doesn't even look remotely fun to begin with. Shoot, shoot, spin around, shoot again, fend off zombie goo, shoot again, spin around...just wow.

I'll say it right now.

GEARS 2 LOOKS BETTER THAN THIS.

And Common Sense...you can't be serious. This game reminds me of Resident Evil: Outbreak because that game gave me such a freakin' headache.

CommonSense5776d ago

I think it looks pretty fun.

SmokeyMcBear5776d ago

do you actually think that gameplay looks fun.. you gotta be kidding me. You are floating around for christs sake. I have a PC rig that could play this.. how it is supposed to be played... but i think the game looks like crap. The guns dont shoot realistically, you cant down anything except a pheasant with a shotgun at 20 yards. The animations are horrible.. the game is junk.. but enjoy it i guess.. you have nothing else coming.

CommonSense5775d ago

what do you mean i have nothing else coming? i have a ps3, 360 and a great PC. i'm pretty sure i'm covered. and despite the 10+ great games coming out this year, i still consider this to be a must have. and just because i said it looks good doesn't mean you get to assume i only own a 360. and even if i did, i'd still have a lot to look forward to.

why don't you spew your rants in the open zone?

Spydiggity5775d ago

i watched this video 3 times just to see the floating you're talking about. what i saw was a bunch of zombies RUNNING and when they get shot they stumble, get slowed down, catch on fire, etc... but no floating. i also noticed when one zombie gets shot by a buncha guys or by a powerful gun they get knocked back. it basically looks like you're playing Dawn of the Dead. i definitely think this looks like a great game to play with your friends. just gotta decide do i get this on pc or 360.
and i just checked your profile and it turns out the only system you have is ps3, which isn't getting this game. makes sense that you're so quick to find fault with a game you can't have.

sumguy815775d ago

You are obviously a ps3 exclusive owner (and I feel very sorry for you by the way) so why are you commenting on a game you aren't getting on your system? Go comment on that great game you're getting on ps3...oh wait...never mind.

juuken5775d ago

So...basically the bots are saying Gears 2 looks like crap.
Oooookay!

I said Gears 2 looks better than this.

I mean...your standards sure have lowered these days. Heaven forbid this was on the PS3...you would have had a fiesta wouldn't ya?

Have fun with this game. It looks HORRIBLE.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies57d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken57d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6958d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker58d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6958d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt57d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken57d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Most Offensive Video Games That Would Never Cut It Today

Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.

Read Full Story >>
wealthofgeeks.com
thorstein96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.

The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.

In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.

MrBaskerville95d ago

Yeah, people wouldn't be constantly outraged if there weren't games that people found enraging. The whole SBI discourse shit wouldn't be a thing if all games were inoffensive. A game like Starfield can make a guy froth at his mouth, so there will always be room for a list like this.

0hMyGandhi94d ago

Normally, I'd be inclined to agree with you, but there are massive caveats.
TV shows like Venture Bros, Ren and Stimpy, and Aqua Team wouldn't/couldn't be made today. Hell, Ren and Stimpy was a *children's* show, same thing with Rocko's Modern Life.

It's not for some arbitrary reason, either. It's branding and IP alignment. Companies are far more risk-averse than they were when I was kid in the 90's. Of course, you have companies coming out of the woodwork to hell spur on similar content, but remember: Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon and some incredibly provocative material.

And for movies? it's pretty obvious. American Pie/Wedding Crashers/Eurotrip among many other "raunch coms" have fallen out of style, and are absolutely outside what the modern day film industry is willing to stand by.
Ace Ventura 1 and 2, Dumb and Dumber, Freddy Got Fingered, Rat Race, Harold and Kumar, and Van Wilder follow suit.

Remember: I am not explicitly talking about films put onto streamers. I am talking wide-releases in actual theaters. Same thing goes for games: Carmageddon, Duke Nukem, Manhunt, Six Days In Fallujah (with their original concept), Hatred, and so on and so forth. Of course, I'd be inclined to mention most tactical shooters like Rainbow Six and Joint Ops as well, due to cultural sensitivity regarding *who* you are shooting and why.

And not all of it is bad (obviously). Tastes change, and perspectives change to fit the demographic.
I should add that I'm a lefty, living in L.A. Working in film.

thorstein94d ago

The Boys, Invincible, Jojo Rabbit, Deadpool, Gen V, Last of Us, Banshee... There are plenty of media being made today that people will claim "can't be made today".

Profchaos94d ago

Yeah but if you consider manhunt which was basically a snuff film could you seriously make that game with high than PS2 era graphics.

thorstein94d ago

The Outlast Trials just came out.

But the storyline of Manhunt was that you were executed. But then lived. And if you didn't do as you were told, you'd die. And the people you killed were not innocents.

It was all filmed by a psychopath.

As we speak GTA VI is being finished up for a release. You get to play a Bonnie and Clyde type of protagonist who run up against the law.

Bodycam looks so real.

People are making those games. Articles like this will always exist no matter how incorrect they are, no matter how many times they blame "them" for whatever it is "they" do to prevent "those" games from being made.

Number1TailzFan95d ago

The UK is the biggest junk country pandering to that nonsense as well, with laws against free speech and expression to match. It got so bad even Rowan Atkinson made a video on free speech about it.

Now the UK raises the age rating on harmless films like Mary Poppins, it's just a load of pansy weak ass nonsense.

MrDead95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

The right wing Tories have been in power in the UK for the 14 years you know the ones that are "anti-woke", blame them for your perceptions.

Killer2020UK94d ago (Edited 94d ago )

Are these snowflakes in the room with us now?

This is more faux outrage designed to get hits. The consequences are unfortunately creating hysteria amongst those willing to buy into it and blame "them" or "the left" or "liberals" meanwhile the left are kicking off about genocide, actual real world abhorrent acts. Nobody is campaigning to censor this shit.

Huey_My_D_Long94d ago

Not too mention the fact that some of these game are controversial for you know, underage porn and encouraging rape.

So either the guy just came in to comment snowflakes without reading anything, or he is calling people snowflakes for having a problem with said titles. Crazy how much brain rot someone can have.

banger8895d ago

Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."

"Feminist Whore" lmao

gold_drake95d ago

ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.

its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.

ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.

Barlos95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

They're not offensive.

And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!

Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.

Deeeeznuuuts95d ago

Would love a new fat princess game 🤟

CantThinkOfAUsername95d ago

Games literally about sexual assault, mass genocide, bombing civilians, and school shooting. None of which is satirical.

isarai95d ago

Actually it's about fat princesses

Huey_My_D_Long94d ago (Edited 94d ago )

Its crazy that people are fixated on Fat princess when clearly the list is going over controversies, and not all of them are equal. Like way worse examples but pretend the entire list is like that.

Left 4 Dead Writer Explains The Drawbacks Of Releasing Games In Early Access

He wants to launch all his projects initially through close beta.
