Hopefully it'll be as good as it looks...honestly though, day of the dead completely ruined the "of the dead' series for me. Just way too corny for my tastes  . Still, the concept of making "torso zombies" by blowing all their limbs off sounds like good, wholesome fun for the whole family ;D. |

Still, the concept of making "torso zombies" by blowing all their limbs off sounds like good, wholesome fun for the whole family ;D. That's what you think. Play the demo, I was looking forward to this game since the day it was announced. But the demo is so crappy, believe me when I say, I actually fell asleep for few seconds cause of boredom. If I would've been a little pshyco, would've trying hammering my PC to death. It's more boring than FEAR demo. So stick to KF for now.. or if you have console, buy RE4. |

Be nice guys, i know the folks at brainbox who made it (they're a toronto studio) Anyway...I think it has some rough edges (and sure it's a corny game) , but it's actually pretty darn fun. Plus, the price aint bad (about half or a third of what it costs for a regular game) I played the demo more than once, I must admit to that |

You saying FEAR demo was boring? I thought it was kick ass! whats more fun then nailing people to walls?!? and the gerande blasts are cool looking. I was shooting at this one dude who was rolling through a window and I nailed his head to the wall and he was upside down... Wish I took a screen shot of it, it was cool... ;D
Most impressive looking FPS coming out is STALKER, check it out.

The only thing impressive in FEAR is it's amazing AI. It's story and level design aren't anything innovative as far as I have seen. ALl their videos fail to excite me as well.
Anyways, as for the Land of The Dead demo, I have to agree that it does feel good shooting those zombies.. but, level design is so boring, drab, empty. Though zombies looked good, it still failed to impress me on many levels. Another thing, what's the biggest mistake zombie killing games can make? Creating a gameplay comprising of 'only' zombie killing.

Well I liked the Demo, the Controls were the most clunky IMO. I found the mouse didnt move as smooth, but it IS A DEMO and the retail may have better controls etc. I purchased it so I will let you guys know if the Full version is Better.
You cant beat the Price. Alex, I was thinking Maybe you should Port over to HL2 and then CHARGE for the Mod through STEAM. :-))
You can do that with them and make some money and get a team assembled to get your version you want out. They Hunger Lost Souls is being made and will be sold through Steam, They Hunger series was one of my favorite and I still consider the BEST single player Zombie game I have ever played. So I have High hopes for that one.
You have a good nitch with your mod as its a faster pace version of the Dead games. Land of the dead and They hunger are REALLY different themes compared to yours so they are NO competition. The only thing all of them have in common is Zombies. BTW HL2 you can put boards etc and hold up if you need to, there are alot of good features in HL2 besides the fact IMO its engine is better the UTO4 the AI in UTO4 sucks really and as you found out the scripting is a Pain. lol
Keep up the good work, I hope to see a patch or update on the mod soon. :-)

I don't believe I'll be moving to HL2 anytime cuz...well, im not a massive fan of steam, and I just find HL2 modding clunky. I love the quick load times with U-engine, and the slick modding tools. You're right, if Unreal falls down anywehre it's the slipshod MonsterController AI code that shipped with UT2k4 for the Invasion gametype. It's restrictive, very hard to mod, and (as we've seen) easy to confuse. But i'm getting pretty effin' good at coding in general, so I have managed to get some kind of foothold on it and make various small enhancements to the zombie AI already. I won't mention them until I've got a better macro sense that the Zombies are "lethal and effective and clever" as all KF zombies should be but hopefully that gives you an idea of where I'm at. Put it this way...most stuff is changing for Release 2.0 that's no lie...Menus, Options, Server settings, Gameplay, maps, weapons, and AI too. It's a big job. |

I like the way you explain your basically making a new mod and someone asks for a release date. Got to love those kinds questions! lol
What do you think of the They Hunger mod/game coming out? It was one long SP mod when I first played it. though it was easier back then compared to the modding today, even they admit that.
Nice thing about you modding alex is each time you release you get better and better. This first release was fun and a prep for a big one later. What do you think of Land of dead's choice of the slow gameplay, I found it rare nowadays considering. lol

Well I got the game today and I must say its FUN, VERY much like a Romero Movie, Zombies are slow, BUT they can rush you unexpectedly, They dont do it all the time. Then there is a neat Zombie that just yells for others, very creepy.
The gameplay over all is Solid, the Controls are a LITTLE better, but still the Aiming isnt like HF2 or anything. Its slow paced, and some of the Levels are GREAT. you do FEEL like you are part of teh events and the Weapons are realistic, in the sense that they are slow to reload and some weapons are just crap to begin with. Example who wants a 22 rifle in this situation? lol
All the weapons in the Demo are in the game, the Melee weapons work nice. HIT location is MUCH better than the Demo! I was popping heads off. I suggest playing on Easy for REALISTIC gameplay, after all 1 shot in the right place is all thats needed. But if you want to have multiple shots to take down a target play hard. or Normal. First are nice and are good to knocking one down to run. lol
The first Level is GREAT, its spooky and hard until you get it down, it took a few plays to figure out how to get the key, alot of stuff is scripted so thats a hint.
Over all $20 for this GAME is WORTH IT! It built Solid, mirrors the movies very well and is the Best Zombie retail game released yet. And its only $20! Its like Night of Dead being the Best Zombie movie every made and its Free! lol
If you like Zombies get this game its worth it, I would have paid $35 for it, its that good. and has replay value IF you play on easy first then go up the difficulty. Plus there is MP. :-)
ALEX GET THIS ONE, IT FUN!
