Enough With The Zombie Games Already!

NowGamer: "So, Red Dead Redemption is now becoming a zombie game? I’d groan in disapproval, but that runs the risk of sounding uncannily like the walking corpses that I so loathe. Whatever arguments you may have to approve of Rockstar’s DLC approach: whether you believe it adds to the game’s longevity or that it’s a refreshing change for zombie mode to focus on single player, you’re wrong – there is nothing refreshing about the living dead (in more ways than one). So just stop it."...

The more zombies games, the better.. I say! :)

TimmyShire5013d ago

Nooooo!

Zombies are so lazy for developers! Everyone uses them too, they're boring. :)

nation1205013d ago

well if you find them boring dont play them but the majority of people find them interesting so that's why developers make em!

antz11045013d ago

I think not. Have you played L4D2?

Danteh5013d ago

I've always wondered: why is there such a fascination about zombies?

I mean, I kinda like them, Resident Evil, Plants vs Zombies, etc, "scary" and humorous at the same time, but it seems that you just have to put the word "zombies" in any videogame and everybody just cums of excitement, much like the Halo effect. WTF?

Dragun6195013d ago

But the Zombie DLC for Red Dead Redemption will include Zombie Bears. :D

That's awesome.

I really think it adds to the game’s longevity and that it’s a refreshing change for zombie mode to focus on single player.
I mean the Old Wild West, Open World, now with Zombies plus it'll have more single-player story gameplay. Now what you really want is "Enough with Vampires".

zootang5013d ago

@Danteh

To try and answer that question. I think people generally don't like to kill other people, even if they are baddies. Zombies on the other hand are already dead. I think the same goes (killing them) for aliens. We don't want them invading our home planet, lol. Which also could answer why MW2 was so popular. Just a thought.

Focker-4205013d ago

Want to know the best part??

ITS OPTIONAL!!!

If you don't like zombies don't play it. I don't understand why people have the constant need to bitch and moan about stuff that is completely optional.

jc485735013d ago

Sooner or later we're going to have zombies in Gran Turismo 5 where you get to run over them or maybe have them as drivers.

Perjoss5013d ago

"Enough With The Zombie Games Already!"

erm not until they make a good ZOMBIE survival MMO, or at least a free roam zombie survival game in a city like GTA 4s liberty city with online or coop !!!

BattleAxe5013d ago (Edited 5013d ago )

As long as people enjoy games with zombies I say keep making them.

Better than just some other generic FPSs that are coming out.

acky15013d ago (Edited 5013d ago )

Zombie games are very generic also.

deafwing5013d ago (Edited 5013d ago )

... you can also apply this to Hollywood as well .. getting sick of the movies to. Sean of the Dead and 28 Days later were my fav this decade ... as for the games ... too many to chose.

FACTUAL evidence5013d ago

Hell no! Not until I see a hot ass zombie exclusive on the ps3 with UC2 graphics, that's not a top down shooter. Till then I want more!!

dragon825013d ago

I agree 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything with zombies is pure win in my book. I buy any game/movie/book with zombies in that I can find. I quite the zombie collection at this point.

Anon19745013d ago (Edited 5013d ago )

Second to Nazi's, zombies have to be the most satisfying video game villains. That's why Nazi Zombies were such a win in the first place! My first game I ever made was a Zombie versus skeletons. You just can't go wrong.

So yeah, skeletons, zombies, nazis, robots....good time video game bad guys.

Feckles5013d ago

Look, even Resident Evil called time on zombies. No more zombies!

Unless, they're in Red Dead Redemption – I'm actually quite looking forward to this.

TimmyShire5013d ago

Well you're wrong.

So there.

Galaxia5013d ago

And that is part of the reason RE sucks now. It needs zombies back. (And Mikami).

maniac765013d ago

wtf who dont like zombies in games lol. stop the lame zombie films,thank you. the king of zombies cant even make a good zombie film,all we have is the classics lol

FAGOL5013d ago

It depends on the game. For example Red Dead Redemption is a great game to incorporate zombies into because the western theme makes it unique. I mean come on zombie bears and horses BRING IT! But I heard recently games like Yakuza are implementing zombies which is upsurd. I'm fine with zombies in games as long as they are fun and do'nt take up major development time so that the main campaign is sacrificed.

AcesHigh2915013d ago

You could say the same thing about people as enemy's in games. I'd say the # of Zombie games is far outweighed by the number of games where regular people are the enemy.

Red Dead Redemption 1 Isn't As Good As People Remember It To Be

RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.

Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles

just_looken2d ago

I love how it seems a extreme few remember that red dead redemption is red dead revolver 2.

red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.

I remember all the bugs the game had day one like donkey lady so dam funny

Cacabunga1d 22h ago

RDR1 is a legendary game!!!

Really how to cope with a slow news day…

just_looken1d 20h ago

@caca

I know i said that

Oh boy let me guess no one here knows what red dead revolver is

Or you all never played version 1.0 of rdr 1 i bet its that so many on here have the stench of being in gaming for 10 years at most.

Cacabunga1d 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h ago )

Stop pretending being superior in knowledge to everyone else..

The article title is about RDR1 and the thumbnail also confirma that. No one (at least i dont) care about what you say about RDRev.

You are the only one who spoke off topic abt another game.
If it makes you glad that you are the only one who knows what RDRev is then congratulations.. just pathetic

“ red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.”

Oh and thanks for the laugh ..

jznrpg1d 13h ago

They didn’t name it Red Dead Revolver 2. They named it Red Dead Redemption

neutralgamer19921d 13h ago

Looken

It was made by Capcom until they gave up and R* bought the IP. Hopefully one day we get a complete remake of the original to bring it in line with rest of the series along with other quality if life features. Another great is Gun very under rated

On topic:

If we are going to compare RDR to current generation games then we will surly find some stuff that's lacking but for it's time it was a masterpiece and for me it's one of the best games I have ever played. I hope it ends up on Pc where nodding community can take full advantage and make the game even better. Other than that's no it's not overrated at all. We don't even get that many western games and it's to me the best one (yes better then RDR2)

jeromeface1d 9h ago

is also so damn funny how no one agrees with you

shinoff21832d ago

Junk article. Game was dope and still is. The swimming part sucks though.

just_looken2d ago

It does but the game was made originally for ps2 back after san andreas so for the dev window and timeline it makes sense.

just_looken1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

red dead revolver was back in 2004
https://www.gamesradar.com/...

after this they were making gta iv and a squeal that became read dead redemption

But you all will hate this because facts are scary

"Red Dead [Redemption] has been in production for six years (mainly because of horrible management/lack of direction due to fear of disrespecting Rockstar NY) and it will never get the money back in sales it cost to create for those six years," claimed another source.

From a 2010 article hmm what is 2010 - 6 hmmm

https://www.engadget.com/20...

The swimming in red dead one made sense for the time period and dev hell it was in

Again though it seems alot on here have 0 game knowledge before 2018.

jambola1d 13h ago

Nobody asked about or mentioned revolver
Why are you bringing it up in every reply?

shinoff21831d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Just looken

I could agree with you about the swimming part but I was swimming my ass off in San Andreas which pre dates

Either way it's not a deal breaker and the game was dope af

-Foxtrot1d 22h ago

I liked it a bit better because I didn’t think it had many “small nitpicky” things RDR2 had that on its own meant nothing but when a lot built up it was annoying. For example getting off your horse and you had to reselect your weapons again or walking around the camp slowly. None issues but built up with others sometimes it was a little frustrating at times.

The Best Cowboy Games on the PS4

Yeeehaw! Howdy, partner! Saddle up and mosey on down to check out the best western-themed video games you can rustle up on the PS4 today.

While not on the PS4, if you want a pretty imaginative and downright fun Cowboy game you should check out Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Not only is it a great arcade FPS in its own right but one that has some Narrative Elements that interact with the Gameplay in a pretty surprising and novel way. Something a few of the AAAAAAAA games should be looking at in order to marry the Narrative with the Gameplay better.

The best part is that you can get it for a few dollars on GOG or STEAM during their sales.
