Days Gone has big zombie hordes that run. I don't think we have seen that in a game before. I might be wrong. Dead Rising had a lot of zombies on the screen but they don't run.

So supposedly terrifying zombies are reduced to cannon fodder. This is essentially the Dynasty Warriors of zombie games – doesn't sound very scary to me.

That's true at a base level, but I think it's more noticeable in games with zombies. I mean just do an image search for Days Gone. There is nothing that makes it stand out; it has that same worn-out look and feel of zombie games that have come before. It's as if they haven't even bothered to shake things up.

I see your point. I didnt play too many single player zombies tho.
But lets wait how this plays out, you'd never know where the surprises may come from.

For me, as long as there's an interesting story and interesting characters that drives the game, I dont care about gameplay clones or cliches.
That's why I keep some faith in this one.

Never insinuated that. The writer's explanation seemed extremely child-like and unprofessional.

Oh sorry then, I misinterpreted what you said. But yeah, on that account you're right, it feels a bit immature to throw shit under the bus while comparing yourself to a bonafide classic as a PR move.

Our zombies are totally different zombies than the other zombies.

Of course. These go to eleven.

Left 4 Dead?

Left 4 Dead?

I don't think Left 4 Dead had this:


Around 3:27.

I'm glad hordes aren't this big in L4D/L4D2, otherwise molotovs, pipes, cans and rocket launchers would be too OP.
