Let's hope it doesn't fall into the cesspool of shit zombie games. There are not enough good ones. Dead Risings, Walking Dead (Well, the episode one releasing ATM, Red Dead Undead...the only ones I can think of.

Don't you DARE fuck this up Activision.
I admit that I chuckled a bit. Might as well ask EA not to say stupid things that their actions contradict a week later.

So.. it'll be what? £35 for a 4 hour 90% scripted campaign and they just haven't announced their convoluted logic for the existence of multiplayer yet?

I just cant see how Activision can pull this off, it is way outside their comfort zone.

I would love to believe they've selected these characters because it's a challenge to make them relatable hero characters for most players... but I'm afraid (and pretty sure) that they were chosen because they make better "action hero" type characters.

By making this an first-person SHOOTER, they've let us know where the emphasis will lie. Shooting. That's not Walking Dead. Walking dead is about surviving zombies, not hunting them. And nine times out of nine, if you're having to shoot at zombies, a series of things has already gone wrong up to this point...

Logically speaking I should just shit all over this, Activision has earned as much after all, but I'm going to choose to remain cautiously optimistic until I see a trailer and can get a feel for how the game will turn out.

Ugh, FPS. Can't say I'm interested, but I'll play the demo if one is released only to see if the Dixon brothers can make the game good. Why yes, even though Merle is a complete scumbag piece of shit, he's one of those complete scumbag pieces of shit one can love to hate.

At least they're not sullying the good name of the characters who ARE in the comics. Merle was a racist, sure, but it was funny seeing him get handcuffed to the top of that department store and later escape. I like Daryl, though. If they somehow manage to play the abusive relationship between him and Merle into this, it COULD be quite good. However, this is Activision we're on about, so I'm gonna tred cautiously. Will keep my eye on this, but for now, I'm happy trying to make sure Kenny stays my best friend in the Telltale game.

Urgh way to sqeeze the fanchise dry....Although it would make sense if it is a survival horror, but it doesn't look like this game is head in that direction.

Ok this could possibly be interesting, like maybe a Day Z sort of deal- Oh fuck its Activision FUCK! I have no faith in Activision at all, unless they hand it to another company and just publish it like Prototype, that could work. But I don't trust them at all, I'm not gonna force myself into believing this will suck cos thats just too pessimistic, but I really, (dr cox moment) reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllly think it will suck

Capcha: Oh brother. HA!

FUCK KENNY! FUCK KENNY- sorry I should spoiler tag first.
He just down right murdered Larry, we could have waited a couple minutes and it would have been obvious he was dead. There's like an 8 minute delay before they turn, I know they dont know that but some FUCKING COMMON SENSE KENNY! AND he didn't even help Lee when they were in the barn and that **** in the blue shirt had the shotgun. HE WAS GONNA LET ME DIE IF LILLY HADN'T CAME IN. He's a coward and a douchebag.
Oh spoilers for episode 2 btw.

...oh wait, never mind.
And scotth266 is our winner today!

OT: It should be fun as long as we're playing as Daryl, and not Merle. It would take a master story-teller to make us relate to a racist bordering on KKK levels.
Ooh I saw a drama on BBC with Clive Owen do that once. At least I think it was him, and he was a racist twat who was a good character. But Merle's meant to be a wanker through and through. And Darlye was more likeable and, at least in the TV show he isn't racist.

I hate the show. I think it's beyond retarded and characters are all unlikable morons. With the exception of Daryl. Which is why I'm intrigued. This could be better than the show, but that's the easiest thing in the world considering just how bad the show is. Remember recoilless shotguns with infinite ammo in season 2? How can any director be that stupid?

Activision scared me. Then I saw that it's being developed by the same people that did Kinect: Star Wars. I about fell out of my chair laughing at this.

Pass!

So, it's going to be a AAA version of DayZ for Arma2?
HAHAHA I very seriously doubt that. Day Z is in a class all of it's own, there is no wayyyy to make that excellent piece of mod compatible with the psyche of the average console game consumer... no way in f'n hell. ;)
