"I lay no claim to bravery; quite the opposite in fact. I'm more than likely to have a yellow belly and a boneless back. I hide when it's stormy, and jump when someone says boo while I'm playing Dead Space with the speakers turned up.
I will say this though; I love me a good zombie.
Whether I'm watching the latest Romero flick, reading poorly written stories of the undead online or kicking back with a shotgun and laying waste to a few choice Hunters in Left 4 Dead, I love a good stumbling, bumbling, and flesh eating ghoulie.
But something has been bothering me about my decrepit friends as of late."
Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.
I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.
Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2
The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.
I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.
I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .
All playable from October 1.
Capcom has just announced its own event where it will showcase some of the upcoming titles it is working on.
"RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard for iPhone/iPad/Mac."
Feels like a deliberate omission from the title.
MMMMMMM brains....or wipe them out...all of them.
I think it's more about a crazed viral imperative like Resident Evil or work like the RAGE virus where they die off if they run out of human food?
In any case slow or fast they sure are great in games!
I had noticed in Resident Evil 5 early on you do see some dead deer, but they're barely eaten. Maybe zombies are fussy eaters? They only seem to take enough of a bite to kill something then move on.
Haha! Cool article... really dug an explanation I can use for the continous onslaught coming in this year's releases... and next year's (Dead Rising 2!). :D
By the way the photo I found wasn't from the article: It's a garden ornament! Can you believe it! A zombie garden ornament!! LOL.
You have to admit, that zombies in games are fun . . but, the definition of one is somewhat obscure really.
The walking dead would classify as zombies, but those in infected with a virus would not be, as they are not dead per-se.
Plus in Vodo the term relates to those who are not actually dead, but taken over by "something" un-human . . hmmm.
Either way, dead, or alive, some games without zombies would be boring. Then again, sticking zombies in games for the pure fact of attracting some odd attraction (cough COD 5 cough) does not a good game make.
