Really like the look of this game kind of like a serious Dead Rising, the hordes look fantastic.

NewMonday3290d ago

it's not just the massive amount of zombies, lots of the environment is destructible, from bending metal doors to burning wood.

I'm betting it's the GPGPU, this is the true potential of using GPU processing the PS4 APU was made for.

So true I look at games like this and I ask myself why do I need a NEO Im perfectly happy with my standard PS4 It was confirmed everything at there show was running on a standard PS4 so that is super impressive

Genuine-User3290d ago (Edited 3290d ago )

Impressive stuff!

Playable_Gamez3290d ago (Edited 3290d ago )

Yeah that some pretty impressive tech they got going on. Never really been into the whole horde of Zombies other than Call of Duty zombies. I feel like when you shove a bunch of zombies in one setting it makes them seem less scary and threatening on a individual level. But I will keep my eye on this game.

Fin_The_Human3290d ago

Bend has confirmed that these aren't zombies though since they aren't dead.

They are more like the things from I am legend.

Playable_Gamez3290d ago (Edited 3290d ago )

Oh great not another 'they are not really zombies' type of game. It just makes it confusing.

Fin_The_Human3290d ago

Apparently they are super smart...which the demo did not do justice since they all kept coming at the guy with an infinite bullet assault rifle.

Hopefully they don't turn out like RE las plagas where they ride bikes and shoot RPGs at you.

@Playable_Gamez

Zombies are slow and have limited abilities and only want to feed. The infected such as these gains enhanced abilities and just want to kill.

Goldby3290d ago

@Playable
They aren't Zombies so whats confusing. They are Freakers. and they have different teirs of authority within them.
@Utalking2me
The freakers themselves do need to feed to stay alive, and the dev team stated that if you were to take a stealth approach you may encounter one tier of Freakers killing another to eat them to survive.

Never the less this game is looking amazing, the number of Freakers on screen plus destructible environments has me like "oooooohhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh"

Playable_Gamez3290d ago

Man can we call them zombies to keep it simple? I feel like Zombie can be a universal title.

Really ? Even those " I Am Legend " Zombie are smarter.

Goldby3290d ago

IIRC the last zombie from i am legend tried to break a glass with his head, multiple times. its not that they are smarter, just more artistic as he was just trying to show will a picture of a butterfly

loganbdh3290d ago

Zombies? They were vampires if I'm not mistaken...

ShadowKnight3290d ago

Looks like you will be able to do a lot in the world

andresegr3290d ago

And more importantly:

Without The Cloud.

Bend Studios know what they have in their hands to work with, they squeeze every little source of power from the PS4 and create a technically impressive games, just like every Playstation Exclusive.

They work with what they have here, on earth. They dont need to be looking for power in the sky.

the_dark_one3290d ago (Edited 3290d ago )

for speaking of the cloud, wasnt the cloud suppose to increase the power of xbox one by 4 times?? so now i wonder why the hell they announced a console that IS 4 times more powerful then the xbox one. maybe the scorpio is just a normal xbox one with clouds inside

Goldby3290d ago

water insurance anyone?

subtenko3290d ago

Yea cloud schmoud, Im not wrapped with all the buzz words, just be good at working with the hardware, software and the server utilization, thats it...well that and the creative development too.

I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.

$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????

Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!

Vits6h ago

The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.

Vits1h ago

Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.

The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.

Themba764h ago

Best controller I’ve ever used I even like more than my dual sense edge

PRIMORDUS2h ago

I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂
