The undead nightmare ones are zombies

NukaCola4674d ago

Yeah, and the creature in RE5 who are infected with the T Virus are zombies, just the RE series has moved the image away from the typical zombie look over the years.

I would of added the creatures of Uncharted Drake's Fortune. They are not zombies but sure are scary ass dead creatures come back to a living form just to kill.

Legion4674d ago (Edited 4674d ago )

True on both UnDead Nightmare and RE5, they are Zombies. The author seems to want to reduce the Zombies to something that he remembers as a kid while watching Night of the Living Dead.

But as we all have grown to see throughout movie lore the Zombies can't be categorized down to one stereo type. Just as in Land of the Dead where the Zombies become self aware and form more thought in their attacks and interactions beyond that of mindless walking eating machines. Or the Zombies in I am Legend that have emotional connections and structured thought.

Zombies are Zombies due to reanimation of dead bodies through a viral contagion. Anything past that is interpretation of the media creator.

Atleast release a remaster trilogy or something to gage interest. I'd buy it. With that said I'm pretty over superheroes at this point. Infamous is still dope as fk though so it'd be a buy

I agree but games take 4-6 years to make so who knows when they would do it? After Ghost of Tsushima2? They could have something else in the world as well in early production who knows.

What!? That is freaking great!!!! I really loved this game back in the day and was so pissed the Remake got changed and then eventually canceled. This is such great news that it’s the original. Will definitely get the plat for it.

The article mentions:

* PC
* Nintendo Switch
* PlayStation 4
* PlayStation 5

But why isn’t there a mention of the Xbox Series version?

Scissorman1d 19h ago

Because they just don't sell enough on Xbox.

Yea that’s a Limited Run Games thing like what @Scissorman showed in the article. They’ve tried selling the physical versions of Xsex games, but they just don’t sell. But I’m fairly sure this should be digital for Xbox, if not, then it’s time to drop Xbox and come to greener pastures.

wesnytsfs1d 16h ago

@CrimsonWing69, greener pastures.. Yep moved to mainly PC now myself get all the good games from both companies now if only Nintendo would release games on PC too.

RiseNShine1d 15h ago

so a ps1 game launched in modern platformos, mmmkay. I can play it already in emulators with high res, retroachievements support and more, doesn't make much sense.

It's gotta be Far Cry 2 for me, the feeling of that game I'm still yet to find again, just everything about it, I'd kill for a remaster, I'd even be happy with just a bump in resolution and frame rate, occasionally go back to it, think I'm gunna have to do just that now 😂

porkChop2d ago

A remaster of Far Cry 2 would be amazing, especially with the mods that fixed the broken stealth system and the dumb checkpoint respawns. Include those fixes and it would be a huge upgrade over the original.

JEECE2d ago

Enemies respawn in Far Cry 2? Terrible! It's a broken system! Make me a one-man army who can inexplicably hold an entire region!

Enemies respawn in Dark Souls and Zelda? Brilliant! So much more hardcore! Glad the devs took risks!

porkChop2d ago

The problem isn't them respawning. It's that they respawned after just 5 minutes. Like you'd still be in the area looking for diamonds, loot, exploring, etc, and the enemies would just respawn with you there.
