The problem is that Valve already have a zombie game franchise. And everyone working in the game industry already has more ideas than they know what to do with. If you're serious about this getting made, you'll have to do it yourself.effilctar said:I'm contacting Valve as we speak. They have made some great zombie games imo.owner276 said:Maybe Valve? They have experience with zombie fps and wouldn't drown you with too much detail...not to mention they'd probably give it a dawn of the dead ('78 version) esque sense of humor...shaun1788 said:ha I will........I definly will....probly E-Mail but WHICH GAME COMPANY!!owner276 said:Please pitch this idea to as many game companies as you can...I want this game!shaun1788 said:Well for me........effilctar said:I was reading through the comments on the Zombie MMO thread last night, rather than sleeping and it got me thinking: though a zombie MMORPG most probably couldn't work, some of the ideas posted in that thread were absolutely brilliant and game developers really must be informed of these ideas.
My idea is something of a cross between Left 4 Dead and CoD 5's Nazi zombies. The game would involve running to the next safe area, fighting through waves of zombies until you find a means of rescue. However, I thought, instead of the saferooms like in Left 4 Dead, I was thinking that when you attract enough attention through noise made or just foolishly running into hordes of zombies, you would have to take cover in a nearby house.
Here is where the Nazi Zombies element comes in. When you get into the house you will barricade the door and windows to help hold off the horde. The horde will be able to pull apart the obstacles you've set but you would be able to repair them, either with tools or furniture available in the house. the zombie hold-off can last for anything between 5-20 minutes depending on the difficulty. The zombies would eventually be reduced in numbers enough for you to fight your way through them, or they would just see it as pointless and go away, allowing you to carry on.
This is just a little something I thought up before sleeping last night. Please feel free to criticise or post your ideas.
Thanks,

I hope a zombie RPG/FPS thats has a open world.......I wanna do anything......let me gives some examples somewhere it will be a better Fallout 3....
Eg. Get supplies/hold up in a mall (Dead Rising)
Eg. Hold up in an anbandoned building (COD 5: Zombies)
Eg. Find out who created and stop the zombie virus (Resi Evil)
Eg. Create a small settlement/town/city
Eg. Hold up somewhere (city/house/ETC) to build up stuff (From a super car train with weapons from Dawn of the Dead comic to a ultimate base.....but depends on lvl)
Eg. Good online
Eg. Save suvivors/find them in houses....
I hope someday this will happen and I will be their and own zombies....also please not a MMO...I dont wanna go on the internet.....
EDIT: and also something thats not like Dead Rising....more Fallout 3/COD
Infinity Ward: Will make it good but lvls.
Bethesda: I dont know but half the people thought their games where bad....which makes it that people will complain (No VATS)
Bioware: They like putting their games in 3rd person mode...but FP mode is good/better mabey.
any other game companys....please discuss....or E-mail the companys them-self about this idea......I would love to see this game..........and I think I can see this getting made....
since it would be an open world game, Rockstar North would be another great contender, seeing as how they have the best experience with them from GTA...
Begging won't work. You do realise these companies pay people within the company to come up with ideas and write design documents, right?shaun1788 said:You probly have more luck if you make an RPG then this.....and if your serious you will beg Valve or someone to make it......beg....also im sure no one here can make a serious game that will sell for 100 dollers...each.....
Isnt that even more impossible?kevin_kaya said:Sorry but no one will really do this idea, or any idea for that matter. Best thing is to make the game yourself but thats kinda impossible..
Yay for that.....I want more smarter AI.....also their is a game but on the orgig x box called rob the zombie or whatever someone mentioned it in this forum....XDUCK said:another zombie game? ok but for once no escorting stupid morons who can't fight or keep up that drives me quackers , and how bout a game where you are a zombie killing humans ... zombies have rights too lol
Actually an RPG/FPS free roam.....for me at leastmadbird-valiant said:Wait, HOLD the PHONE.
You want to have a video game with zombies?
Oh unknowable universe!
speaking as a designer, your idea doesn't sound as great as you think. you would have people try to do two things at once, and that just doesn't work. in order for a player to do repairs, she would have to sheathe/drop her weapon and start repairing for an amount of time. add to that the time spent running around scavenging resources to repair with in the first place. all this while you're under pressure from a horde of zombies, and while you have at least the scavenging/repairing person NOT shooting.effilctar said:I'm contacting Valve as we speak.
