Well, for games zombies make nice enemies: it's not that noticeable if you repeat character models, they don't need very advanced AI, and they are like Nazis in that noone cares what you do to them.

More like there is no game company good enough or talented enough to do it justice.

What we need is an open world zombie game in the style of GTA IV or Red Dead Redemption.

Rockstar, I'm looking at you, make that shit happen.








FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE!

For such a narrowly defined genre, zombie games have been pretty much great on average. Left 4 Dead, Killing Floor, Dead Rising, Resident evil etc. etc.

Looks like it might be a new Resi Evil after all...

Secret VGA Zombie game is Resident Evil - and here's the proof


GamerZines has uncovered evidence that the secret zombie game due to be unveiled at next month's VGAs is indeed a new Resident Evil title, and no, it's not because of the Biohazard logo.

The internet has speculated that the 'Zombie Teaser' could be linked to Resident Evil because of the Biohazard symbol spotted on the image. While that's not too farfetched, it's hardly definitive proof - that logo could be placed on any zombie game, after all.

GamerZines, however, has found something a little more definitive. We'd like to draw your attention to the teaser itself and at the zombie silhouette we have circled in red. Interesting pose, eh, and we've we seen it before.

Take a look at the second image, a print from a T-shirt which is part of the official Resident Evil merchandise. Same pose, same zombie. Not only that, but the other zombie that appears in the teaser is also on the shirt design, only facing the other way.

The same zombie silhouettes from an official Resident Evil T-shirt appearing on a VGA teaser for a zombie game? We'd say this is fairly definitive proof that Capcom are about to announce another Resident Evil.

But which one? With Resident Evil 6 still very much in the works, thoughts gravitate towards the unconfirmed Resident Evil project rumoured to be in development at Vancouver-based Slant Six Games under the codename 'Resident Evil: Raccoon City'.
Given the team's work on the PSP SOCOM titles, we'd say this is probably the Resident Evil PSP game announced during Sony's E3 2009 conference that has since gone into hiding.

But when will we know for sure? December 11th. VGAs. Mark it in your diary. And remember, if it is Resident Evil, you heard it here first.

Brilliant.

And the message will be "Murder Your Friends", as it will be the multiplayer game.

depite there being so many zombie games, there still isn't an open world one or one that's more survival horror than going guns ablaze (not since the early re games atleast), wouldn't mind seeing a combination of the two

I agree that it doesn't look like something Valve made. I want to believe that it's the remains of Headcrab zombies teasing HL2: Episode 3, but I know it's definitely not that sadly.

I don't know about this, could just be lazy zombie copying. I'll wait and see. A proper Resident Evil game with real zombies in it would not disappoint though.

Murder Your Maker is a completely different entity from RE: Raccoon City.

Is this linked to the RE art ?

Nah, there were two separate teasers at the same time that were getting confused.

Murder Your Maker is probably actually not a zombie game now that I think about it.

So we know VGA 2010 is potentially going to have;

Arkham City
Mass Effect
'Murder Your Maker'
Resident Evil
Battlefield 3
PS3 something

Anything else I'm missing?
