The Canceled Division 9 Was Left 4 Dead Before Valve Did It

See, that's the thing about the zombie media. If done climacticly and with an aim towards atmosphere in mind, they're downright great. If done for the jokes, the giggles, and the zombiesplattering, they're also great.

Looks cool.
I'd play it.

Looked pretty good. I would have played it but I think I would prefer L4D. Slow zombies are fine but there were never very many and they didn't even get close which I think takes some of the tension and fear out of it. The actual atmosphere was good though. Shame about the voice acting at the end. I noticed he didn't reload his gun once but I'm gonna put that down to it being early in production.

It looks really similar to Swat 4. Identical in places.


Looks good though. Almost makes me want to go into the other dimension where it was made.

If not for the mutant frogs.

Thank you. I started watching it and was waiting for "you're in my spot sir."

With that out of the way, this is a step closer to what I want, a sandbox, build up a fortress and scavenge the landscape for supplies zombie game. Too bad if it was ever made in the future, the ruffians will scream rip off.

Oh goddamnit, thats what i wanted L4D to be...

 

[Faky]

I would give this game a shot. From video alone i could almost say i would like it more than L4D. Those "new age action" infected are just lame to me. I always liked slow moving zombies, that you had to kill with headshot or damage to the head.

 

[Drakulla]

Looks cool, to bad its never gonna be finished.

 

[persona J]

proof that valve is crap, what have they done in the past few years, updates and stolen games.

 

[NLS]

Didn't look like much of a challenge. Same zombies over and over again.
I guess it'd be fun the first few tries, and then it would be all like L4D again with people whining over repetitiveness and boring game without scare factor.

 

[AplChild]

I HATE it when I miss something that never existed...

 

[Slash Dementia]

The game sounded awesome...

L4D is fun but it is only a few aspects of the horror that is the fictional zombie apocalypse. There are no true bases or hope for surviving the apocalypse exist in the gameplay in L4D, only running and gunning, never do our intrepid heroes consider planting a garden, clean water, and raising a family amidst the devastation trying to look for a time when the zombies have been dealt with or at least at safe distance and tolerable.

It'd be hard to do that considering there is no time when the zombies have been dealt with in that game. The idea seems to be that the infection is beyond any reasonable control once it takes hold, and if the infection spreading across the Eastern half of the US in L4D2 is any indication, there would not be a "safe distance". So rather than spending time considering the what-ifs, the survivors are more focused on escaping.

Escaping to what exactly? What gives them cause for hope for the future other than a constant desperate flight?

All I was trying to point out that when it comes to the survival part of zombie survival, there is still a lot of room for other games. Perhaps Fort Zombie will inspire someone, perhaps DoubleBear's as yet unnamed 'ZRPG' ( http://www.doublebearproductions.com/ ) will be the game we have been waiting to play or maybe there is some other ambitious modder or developer out there who will make the next big thing in zombie survival gaming.

Oh come on!?!??!

My perfect Zombie game, gritty, scary, action packed, a game where you actually try to build up your colony of survivors, and it gets canceled. SHIT.

It would be nice if the graphics were better, and if you walked faster though.

i would play it for the amount it looks like freedom fighters
get supplies, build up your base, rescue soldiers, etc.

"it doesnt look that good"

 

[Ryuk2]

That's just SWAT4 with characters who have zombie skins.
I'm sure there are some kind of SWAT4 mods, that do that stuff.
