NYCC 2010: Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Blows Zombies Away

[hem dazon 90]

Okay I do think zombies are overused but hey there has never been a sandbox zombie game so i'll buy it

This sounds amazing.

Technically 5 - coming out on Oct 12 is the 'Hunting and Trading Pack' - but like the Outlaws to the End Pack' it is free.

Man this article is just all over the place then. But I didn't know about this newest pack - looks cool and free stuff is always awesome!

There's a zombie that spits acid?
So, like Left 4 Dead 2's Spitter?

What kinda of online play will we be seeing?

It sounds alright but, I'm starting to feel like there is an over saturation of Zombies at the moment.

I agree, though I wager I'm even more sick of the whole zombie trend than you are, as I never liked them in the first place.

...is that a chainsawsuit avatar?

I love you. So much forever.

I never thought I'd actually see another CSS fan.

Oh, right, we're talking about chainsawsuit here, what I should be sayi- -cough-

Wait, I already beat the game... does this mean I can go back to playing as John?

 

[Outright Villainy]

So wait,

Spoiler: SPOILER ALERT!!

does that mean we get to play as John after we beat the game?
I was thinking we'd probably be Jack, but if we could be a zombie John, that would be awesome

My thoughts exactly. It's be awesome...

This better add quite a good couple a hours of to single player before i should consider buying it.. Never before bought a DLC in my life, but this seems a bit more interesting than other DLC's i've seen.. So who knows..

From what I hear it adds 6+ hours.

Hey.. That sounds like a decent amount.. All of a sudden this DLC might just be in my hands some day..

Wanted: Undead or alive?

lame jokes aside, this sounds awesome! I just hope there's online play too. Imagine free roam online with friends in a zombie infested version of the map...

This does raise the question however...we ask for zombie dlc in gta4 for ages, and they just leave it for RDR!? Sure, western zombies is a unique spin but still...the day I get a liberty city zombie outbreak dlc is the day that I pretty much lose contact with the real world.

This DLC might convince me otherwise never to play this game ever.

It actually is.
I tried it at comiccon too and the way they described itit?s more like an alternate universe than a continuation of RDR. When you put in the game, it will give you a choice to start the SP game, the multiplayer, and (if you have the DLC) Undead Nightmare. It will kind of be like the Episode pack for this game but you will play as John as it?s not really a parallel storyline like with the gta4 dlc. I was afraid when I asked them for the price and was surprised to hear it would be $10. After the absurd prices for the gta4 dlc and the packs they?ve come out with so far for RDR, I was expecting to hear $20. This might actually be the first piece of Rstar downloadable content that I might actually download.
The new close combat executions are very cool too. I spent most of the time running around doing that: exploding zombies with the blunderbuss and jamming the butt end of a torch in their heads. Though setting them on fire is fun too, it can get messy when they come running after you while on fire.

Sorry: double post.

I think everyone's shooting for that "one game." In the same way that RDR is pretty much THE game to have if you're a fan of westerns, everyone's trying to make THE game to have if you like zombies. And L4D is close, but isn't quite it. We won't get one until we get to play through a game from outbreak to end, sort of like RE:Outbreak.

But this sounds like it's gonna be alot of fun and really awesome. I can't wait to play it! I hope I have enough room on my harddrive or I'm gonna be ticked. I'm running low and I might have to delete my exroomate's Little Big Planet files (He had more stuff then I did, so I kept them for building purposes.)
