No wait, this! Can't beat massacring the zombie hordes with keyboards and fantastic Engrish.Vendor-Lazarus said:Typing of the Dead
Actually, although they're called necromorphs and not zombies, they share quite a few similarities, instead of "shoot them in the head" you see "cut off their limbs" scrawled in blood on the walls. They also don't move that quickly in general, except for the certain mutations, which is just what Resident Evil has been doing. And there are certain forms which infect each other, although it's more of a possession than an infection, I dunno never really quite understood how the Marker worked.jademunky said:Dunno if the original Dead Space counts as a Zombie game or not.
If yes, then that.
If not, Dead Rising. (which takes the genre in the exact opposite direction)

Wouldn't that depend on whether you judge a game solely by its graphics, or by its gameplay, mechanics and options/possibilities/modding?Samtemdo8 said:Am I out of touch?Silentpony said:-snipped Yoda-Samtemdo8 said:I never expected to see all these obscure Zombie games here at all.
You guys are into these early access indie games and I still prefer to stay in my AAA corner because I just think most indie games as inferior by going backwards.
Why is a game like Death Road to Canada superior to Dead Rising? How is it not seen as backwards? If you want to play Retro Games, play actual retro games, games that have better sprite artwork than these "sprite" based indie games try to emulate (and fails)
To be fair Stubbs was released on Xbox and PS2 back in the day. Its basically Retro.Samtemdo8 said:Am I out of touch?Silentpony said:Samtemdo8 said:I never expected to see all these obscure Zombie games here at all.

I love you. Conker's Bad Fur Day is my favorite game of all time!Squilookle said:Conker's Bad Fur Day- because they only show up for like 2 levels, then it goes back to being a real game
Fuck. Yes.Silentpony said:Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel without a Pulse.
Case closed. 50s Visions of Tomorrow world, with a Zombie in a suit eating Grease extras, raygun holding jetpack men, and hillbillies with chainsaws.
Seconded, 7. It's been a lot of fun for me and a few friends for a couple of years now- not the greatest game, but certainly entertaining.Ender910 said:7 Days to Die. Although Left 4 Dead and Dead Island definitely deserve an honorable mention.
Pretty much where I'm at on this. The Left 4 Dead series is just brilliant all-around, and has possibly one of my favorite zombie mythos. It's (vaguely) plausible[footnote]Special infected aside... <.<[/footnote], features a zombie 'plague' that's actually menacing[footnote]And not of the idiotic 'don't let them bite you!' kind, as seen in things like TWD.[/footnote], and does what most other zombie tales don't do. Most go full tilt into either dark, atmospheric horror, or camp-ridden action-comedy. L4D tends find a beautiful balance of both.ZombieProof said:Nothing beats the left 4 dead games. Not only some of the best zombie games but hands down the best co op design I've ever experienced
Agreed, though I would put the first two Dead Space games at about the same level.ReMake would be under that.

I second this, Stubbs was a gem of a game, shame no one really played it at the time it came out. The ability to turn everyone into a walking brainless zombie was actually ahead of its time.A sound track of the tunes re-mixed from 1950's songs you had something special.Silentpony said:Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel without a Pulse.

Your top 5 had DayZ and CoD in it. You're definitely out of touch.Samtemdo8 said:Am I out of touch?Silentpony said:Samtemdo8 said:I never expected to see all these obscure Zombie games here at all.
