Pocket Gamer: We all have our zombie plans. Mine is to become a zombie early and campaign for undead rights. Maybe yours is to drive to the Arctic where decaying bodies will freeze? Well, good. Less human interference for me.
Although we’ll owe a lot to games when Z-Day finally comes, what with the hobby's apparent fascination with the living dead, none of our plans is likely to involve playing Aftermath XHD. It’d be far too distracting.
Italian developer One O One Games and META Publishing have today revealed their upcoming psychological thriller, Aftermath, for PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
Only thing I can tell from this is that it will be cinematic. Still need to know about gameplay through more to judge it. For a first trailer it was decent though.
I only say it's decent because they showed that snippet of gameplay when she's escaping the building. Most first trailers rarely show any gameplay at all
There are tons and tons of Xbox articles that are multiplat that don’t include PS . This is the first I’ve seen for PS
That's exactly what I was going to say. You don't see people in the comments asking to add PS4 or PS5 tags.
@jznrpg
Then those articles also need Playstation tags adding. I would have submitted a report to add, but i am not a contributor so thus can not.
Tags are missed on a lot of articles, and the only way to find news is to go into the different categories. I should not need to go into PS/Switch/PC sections, to find news on games coming soon for Xbox, and vice versa.
@jznrpg
To add, i mean do you see the disparity? You have an article about the Matrix UE5, PS exclusive demo, but with a Series X tag? Why?
Edit : ok upon further looking it seems this is now on Series X also.
lol its a reveal trailer, the title of the post says its an announcement, so what did you expect? the intention of it is clearly to pique interest, which it has for me. i'll be keeping an eye it for sure
@ripper for all we know its an early reveal and they dont have solid gameplay segments to show yet, possibly i think you should think about making silly comments before writing them down
Romero's Aftermath on Steam has been gathering users lately but there are numerous reports on persistent bugs, crashes, and errors. Here are the best fixes.
George C. Romero, the son of the famed zombie film director George A. Romero, has thrown his hat in the open world zombie shooter ring with Aftermath.
I hope one day someone perfects this sort of game. DayZ did pretty good but it has flaws.
Permedeath should be an option. How about when you die rather than starting all over you are respawned somewhere random with your stuff.? I got so tired of dying from a 5' fall or some guy sniping me from who knows where just to start all over again. I have a busy life and having to start all over again after investing hours into a character is not fun.
You can survive forever in the forest once you have the right tools. Zombies don't leave towns so you don't have to worry about a hoard or lone zombie walking up on you.
Head shots only for zombie kills with a gun, body or limbs shots should slow them down but not kill them.
I don't want to have to rebuild every car i find, make gas the resource you need to gather.
How about when you are bitten you have the option to die and become a zombie until killed or your game session ends.
Well, this game seems to have anti-frustration features like safe zones, and PvP servers for the Rust crowd.
Why anyone would play these games without PVP is completely beyond me. Might as well play soccer without a ball, because a ball means there's a possibility you could lose...
100% of the greatest and most intense experiences I've had in DayZ were PvP-related. So many people are missing out in those no-PvP no-fun servers. If there's no danger you could lose everything at any moment, I'm not interested.
Also, on topic, this game isn't looking too good. Looks like it was made in Second Life
Defeats the purpose of scavenging if you'll always have your "stuff" with you. I think a feature like that would break somewhat the immersion.
Doesn't defeat it it just makes it so that if you have several hour invested in a game you don't lose everything. You still need to gather supplies and equipment. Make weapons break down over time make food spoil. I would just hate to make it so far only to get killed by something stupid like a broken leg because I jumped from a 5' box.
Which is why I said interesting....but that doesn't stop the fact zombies are played out and very boring at this point.
Someone didn't read the article...
..Or the sentence right under the headline.
Dude you talking about George A Romero
this is he his son George C Romero who's doing aftermath and it's basically the new War Z or infestation survivor stories.
I'll take another look at this game when its closer to release. Too much to play at the moment.
Aftermath? Am in a beta of a zombie game open world game called Aftermath.
It is made by the same people who made WarZ (Infestation).
Edit: After actually reading it. It is in fact the same game.
