Except of course for the lack of a more survivalist approach, but I just hope they allow modding and then I bet we'll get all our backpack wearing, water/food harvesting needs satisfied!

The survivalist approach tends to get boring as the normal mode of gameplay (for me). After a while all you are doing is running through maps to get to the next big gun. I much prefer something that speaks to being not prepared, caught with your pants down, average person suddenly in an impossible situation, kind of thing.

Just noticed they set a release date of September 6.

And btw, E3 trailer semi. http://www.platformnation.com/2011/06/0 ... 3-trailer/

I can't wait to play this. I saw it listed at Game Stop yesterday and made sure I watched through all the trailers. Looks great.

I have to say video game trailers are really upping their game. You would think it was for some epic summer blockbuster not a zombie video game. That one really hit home too since I have a little girl myself and could really emphasize with the whole situation. Not bad for a 3 minute video game trailer. Thanks for making me sad you bastards!

Otherwise brilliant. Site says Sept 6th for release in the states and 9th everywhere else.

I am a giant gamer as well as zombie lover. My whole PC set up was made for just gaming, I spent three grand on my PC. Followed by another twelve hundred bucks for a 42 inch flat screen to use for a monitor (Yes people think that is to much, but many reason why I play games so much, personal they are but it does help me out a lot) My god have I ever seen a trailer for some thing that good. Fucked up thing is it actually brought a small tear to my eye. Thank you OP for showing me that.


Quick Edit: I notice ppl talking about the whole gathering food and such, I am actually happy they did not do that. From what this shows in the trailer's so far. It's a very rapid event that happen pretty much happen over night. Seems like both parties were on some sort of vacation (At least the family, the gangsta looking guy had what seem like a sweet hotel room (With how he acts, he seems out of place. Oh well, he is probably a rich douche) I expect the family to pretty much stay hidden and not really search for food. Specially when it shows outside, people running around on fire, some guy attacking a zombie with a baseball bat. I'm sure in all reality if a lot of ppl seen that. They had only a melee weapon to protect them from high chances are, mobs of these fucks. Hell it would cause me to def bunker down and hide. Plus the fact with some thing that spread that damn fast, probably make me believe it might be air borne.

Maybe martial law was put in effect and it got so out of hand, that a all around curfew is in effect, any one caught outside is deemed hostile and then shot on sight. Either way I believe we all agree this is looks to be an amazing game, that we all want to try out.

Dude, I've been waiting for this game to come out forever. Is it really coming out in September?! Dang, I didn't know the release date was so close. I've played L4D 1 and 2, Dead Rising, Dead Space, Nazi Zombies, Fallout 3 and New Vegas... but this game looks like it might surpass all of those titles. I can't wait...

The Zombie mod for New Vegas was pretty sweet. It finally made the Wasteland the endlessly dangerous and ammo-consuming place it should be.
Nothing is ever what it seems, but everything is exactly what it is.

I have not heard any Beta news, so i'm thinking this is going to be an almost year end release. Between this and Space Marines, I might not get off my console for a week. :P

Here is a pre order of the game for $42.25

I'm told the 4pk via this is even cheaper and it gives you steam codes, but I CANNOT verify that info.

The release is screwed up beyond belief, they released the dev version, not the final one, MP has been down all day and the Free DLC is corrupted....

Awesome :?

What? :shock:

The matchmaking is jacked, MP has been disabled last 36hrs, it's damn near impossible to get a game of you and four friends going.

Are you on console or PC?

Ahh, ok that makes sense, yeah was reading the idiots sent out the Dev build and that is what is screwing up everything.

I really hate how you find games though, I just want a simple lobby, none of this "Someone is near you! Press J!" then I'm stuck with some random asshat in my group, who we can't kick.

That and the VOIP is borked, we use mumble, but for some reason the DI refuses to be set to PTT, even though it's set like that in Steam Works, same issue with Space Marine right now to >_<

Console.

I'm actually rather pissed that you have to have another xbox and another game to play coop in your house. Did they not learn anything from L4D??
