A zombie game? On the 360? Count me in.

But only if I get to shoot the clown too.

The clown reminds me of Stephen King's "IT".

I've got a good feeling about this game. I'm looking forward to it a lot.

I've some gameplay vids and its very gory. It also has a RE4 style shooting view too.

I cant get excited about this game. Is it just gonna be a beat em up? State of Emergency in a Mall?

It looks like a lot of fun. I'm sure I'll go over to my friend's house to play this one for a while.

My only concern would be, personally, that the gameplay could wear thin after awhile because of how simple it is. I just can't see this being the kind of game that would be work $60. It looks like a great $30 game that you play for a couple of days and come back to mess around with a little bit.

I would totally buy the game for $30, and that's not an insult because I don't buy many games anymore.

State of Emergency even had a mall level.

I've got a feeling this will be a delightfully average game. You know...good but only just.

Paying 360 game costs for it does seem steep though.

Are the graphics any good? I mean the screens make it look pretty bland but has anybody seen anything to say otherwise?

I just watched a few gameplay vids and I really dont care for this anymore. All you do is run around similar areas... doing similar attacks... to similar enemies... with various weapons... oh and dont forget taking pictures... of similar things.

I just watched a few gameplay vids of Half Life and all you do is run around similar areas... firing similar projectile weapons... to similar combine soldiers or antlions... with various weapons... and dont forget the forgettable AI teammates... who all die easily.

Man, you just gave me a bad image. Very bad.

If it turns out even remotely like SoE, I'll hunt you down and beat you.

Wasn't State of Emergency already (at least partially) in a mall?

I can't wait. Also, the NPC types look a lot better than I had originally thought.

The game looks cool, but I have to admit, what I've seen of it also instantly brought to mind State of Emergency. The comments of the project director didn't inspire confidence either. Capcom seems okay with the idea that this game is just a short, mindless, run around and kill zombies game. When they actually put the muscle and production values behind a title, they end up with great stuff like Resident Evil 4. But this game seems more like a quick and dirty cash in project on zombies. It looks more like those Resident Evil: Deadly Aim games in terms of content variety.

I hope I'm wrong about all that but everything I have seen so far--the short length, the gameplay videos, and the comments from the creators--lead me to believe that what you see is all you get. Maybe killing the same looking zombies over and over again hundreds of times with just different weapons is enough for some people, but I like a little level design and creativity in my videogames.

The game is meant to be very short because the game is about doing things in different ways multiple times ala Way of the Samurai which is a great game despite only going around killing people using multiple weapons and doing things in different ways as you want to.

I'm not knockin' it til' I try it. Megaman armor? Fuck yes. I bet they'll make up for a lack of overall length by allowing you to collect a metric ass ton of strange items and weird weapons. That would be sweet.

Darkwarrior, I know that is the official line. But to me that is marketing speak for "our game design doesn't contain enough ideas to carry it for 8 hours, so please replay the same thing over and over again."

The game is a total tradeoff. You get game time vs. game options. There are so many different weapons in this game it's ridiculous. And it's not just the same weapon in a different skin...it's totally different things. Back in March they had said they have well over 100+ already...and more may be added.

I definitley see how this could get boring fast...but I also see how it's the kind of game you keep in your collection and break out every now and again for a romp through.

That is just looking awesome.

well at least it seems that the developers knew this game is dumb and played with that...which can't say for other games these days that take themselves too seriously for a b-movie plot....err err prey, half life series, halo series, etc.
That being said i agree with most...a rental but a fun rental.

I hope it turns out cool, as it could be the title to get a 360... after the PS3 and Wii release of course.

As someone who genuinely suffers from coulrophobia, I find the clown quotient of this game to be very worrying. :rolleyes:

I was set to buy it until I saw some screenies of the fucking clowns. :mad:

I hope there are zombie clowns. I'd like to take a chainsaw to a zombie clown.

That'd be a defining moment!

Dude...just think of this as your ULTIMATE survival horror game. You may be the only one of us that can really FEEL what this game was supposed to deliver.

For God's Sakes man...do it for the GAMES!

Well, when you put it like that, I guess I could load up on my meds before tackling the game. I'll do it for you guys, the EvAv community. :)

I can't wait to see what you think of this game, with this factor in mind. I wonder how many people would play a game focusing on their major fear. I would, for sure. For the same reasons I mentioned to you. A videogame that can really invoke emotions... I want to be scared of something tangible, damnit!

If I throw up on my controller or even my 360, I'm holding you personally responsible. And yes, I do tend to throw up in the company of clowns! :(

This really does seem like a perfect game… open ended, sandbox – but with a hidden plot to uncover. The chance to experience an event like <insert zombie movie name here> firsthand with all the options available.
My initial feeling is that I will try playing the game without saving at all – I’m hoping that’ll keep the ‘fear of death’ up. Hitman is more fun on professional, where one wrong move can ruin all your hard work.

So to say that these are the exact same screens would be a mistake. Props to StrategyInformer.
