It is good, but something a little more open, less get from A to B, would be a good game; If it were done right.Sevre90210 said:
Ok next person that mentions that we should just make l4d a mmo is getting pistol whipped, this is not about the awesome game that is l4d, go start your own l4d forum if you want to.
Me too. Zombies are seriously hitting saturation point in our culture, especially in video games. Zombies are starting to become the new Nazis.SaintWaldo said:
Oh, and good news: they're making another Wolfenstein game so we can fully immerse ourselves in the overused standbys of the video game world.
How about a game were you have to see how long you can survive against an endless zombie onslaught? In a large sandbox area, as other people have said picking up supplies etc etc, with safe havens which don't add to your score. So it would literally be Enter Area ---> you lasted 4 days before being eaten by your uncle. And people can cooperate for bigger scores.
voirdire: Well you're going to have to have 'quests' or 'missions' or something to make things interesting. It's kind of like playing GTA but without any story.
How about, "Find 19 other survivers and start a village/stronghold"? And then "Find a cure" perhaps. IDK though, these were just off the top of my head, I'm sure that if someone really thinks hard, tonnes of unique quests could be made that are much more interesting than "Get me 10 zombie arms"
If this every gets made, I hope it's not too easy to kill zombies. I want it to be realistic, as if it was actually happening, i.e. even 1 lone zombie could be fatal if you are unprepared.

Hrm... not sure what the staying power of pure zombie combat would be. Great for gimmicky games to occupy time for a couple of months, but for an MMO, I don't see that going too far.
A zombie MMO would be an epic failure in my book. Sorry to disagree, but I don't see this theme going anywhere. There are plenty of online zombie-killing titles out there, but not enough substance/background to develop for a deep MMO.
It wouldn't be an epic failure if you had elves and dwarfs,every decent MMO has to have one or both of them. LoTRo,WoW,Guild Wars,Everquest ( I think, I don't know never played it,I'm just assuming because it sounds pretty generic).
Formula for a successful MMO = Elves+ Shiny items and armor + dwarfs which may or may not like the elves + repetitive quests and missions.
We just take it one step further with the zombies.
