28 Days Later...

[StRiKeR]

Haha, Hmm ok Alex well I noticed a few things with this
Brilliant mod.

Did you get this idea from 28days later?
like (a squad of marines are deployed in London, to secure a specific location,
and are brought up to the Horror and Dead,
Decaying bodies and are set out to
Find themself's in a Horror movie like Predicament.) =D

lol, That could be a good 28days later sequal.

Anywho my point was this game reminds me very much
so of that movie, I myself after i saw that movie
I was thinking to myself If they would ever make a game
like that (and here it is!!!) haha love it!Anywho
I just want to know where you got the idea from.

Are you guys from London? or is it just the game? lol

[Alex]

Well Slinks is from Texas ( I believe ) and im from Toronto, Canada

BUt the original creators of the IDEA for the mod were British, (Jack and Matt) and I saw 28 days later myself and loved it.

originally, the mod was planned on the battlefield engine to be a 28 days later tribute in fact! , but when i took over the project we shifted engines and began modiying things to what it is now.

Of course, it has very strong ties to that film, you're absolutely right!

The End is Extremely Fucking Nigh!

[StRiKeR]

woohoo! I knew it

The atomsphere felt totally Like i myself liked the movie
Also, The idea of the movie was Awsome. I like those
Types of movies where the Plot is Human Survival.

(Mayb thats why i'm in the U.S Army? )

Heya, Do you guys have a mIRC channel?
If so Why dont you Post it, So We can all get together
And "chit-chat" and get some Updates and whatnot.

Yeah, i also love that film because its more bout emotions and a lot more realistic.

Its so much deeper than other horror films. E.g. the remake of Dawn Of The Dead is terrible. Its all about "Teh cool3st w@y of k!ll!ng some z0mbi3s!"

Also, its a lot more believable than conventional zombies. In fact, they're not zombies, they're infected. Just f---ked up people. Rather than actual dead.

A few people say to me, after watching the film. "How come they run? Zombies dont do that".
Then i explain to them they arent zombies
and then they ask another annoying question becuase they havnt been listening and dont realise that they arent zombies .

It also gives/gave us a chance to break away from stereotypes. If one of our "zombies" can crawl through vents, then it doesnt matter, because its our creation. THe infection can do anything we want to them.

[StRiKeR]

Yes Indeed, Some of my Buds Are like

...the movie sucked(turns out they just say that
ON account that all they want to see is Gore,And killage.

And Yes You're Right, They areint Zombies, Just Humans
That have been infected that are simply turned on (Berzerker mode)
Like it said in the movie, "People killing
Other People". I just hope i dont live to see that day.


-Great movie none the less.

I enjoyed the Dawn of the Dead remake. Society went to shit, and that makes me happy.

If you pay attention, most of the danger in the movie didn't come from the zombies - it came from the people turning on one another. Human conflict, just how I like it.

The original is still much better, but it was a surprisingly good remake.

I didn't like the second part of 28 days later. In my opinion, the movie went downhill after they met up with the soldiers =/

[Alex]

Hmm i thought that part was really cool personally .


Not quite as tense, but definetely an interestin climax better than just :

And they all died

or.

And they killed more zombies and lived happily ever after

I think this is most everyone's opinion.

[Visivicous]

I liked all of 28 Days Later, including the second half. That guy going berserk and poking out the eyes of the rapist was just awsome.
I love this game and cannot wait until the full release is ready. I keep wondering why the various game companies do not make a FPS survival horror game, since there is such a large group of gamers who would love such a game. I guess it is up to the private sector, i.e. modders, to make the games that everyone wants.
Good job and good luck with the rest of the game!

Gread demo, 28 days later is a definate buy ( i had mine imported before it was even in US theatres I loved it so much ) but to be honest I think your not giving DotD-Rmk the credit is deserved.

1) It retains ALL of the original social stereo types you just have to be smart enough and think a bit out of the box to see them.

2) It broke the mold of zombies ( not infected ) being fast animal like creatures in the same manor Brian Keene's "The Rising" did.

3) It showed hollywood executives to take a chance on high budget horror movies. Brian Keene's "The Rising" is slated for 2006 release (OMFG) and Romero got his getting Land of the Dead (a.k.a. Dead Reckoning) green light in 2004.

4) It finally put ryme and reason to something always alluded to in Romero's Dead series. It is the end times m8.

Nothing you can say can take away from the movies well put together scenes or overal good acting job from everyone. Maybe it wasn't what YOU expected but to countless millions it is a great film for GOOD reasons. To be blunt... everyone that has anything bad to say comes from zombie fans that think too much of their own oppinion or people that just don't like horror much. Tell me a scene that warrants the "terrible" moniker and I will respect your oppinion more. Say its crap and your just blasting your oppinion around because you can.

It's been a while since I saw the DoTD remake, and though it wasn't a bad zombie movie, I left feeling irritated with the characters and too many aspects of it. It may be fuzzy, but here's what I remember disliking about it the most:

1) It retains ALL of the original social stereo types you just have to be smart enough and think a bit out of the box to see them.

IMO, that's not neccesarily a good thing. And the main female character, who also happens to be a 'HARD AS NAILS' .....hot nurse? I'm surprised they didn't included some sort of super hot woman, who also happens to be a hacker, who also happens to be in a wheelchair!

2) It broke the mold of zombies ( not infected ) being fast animal like creatures in the same manor Brian Keene's "The Rising" did.

I agree. Very scary stuff but though fast zombies can, be very creepy, agile zombies are just plain odd. Like the little girl in the beginning, who can barely rollerblade, does an olympic zombie jump to her feet after getting knocked down? I mean...what??

'Tell me a scene that warrants the "terrible" moniker'

1: Zombie.......BABIES!!!

2: The fact that they had no reason to go to the mall. They just ended up there and found it convenient.

3: How they all went to some guys boat for some odd reason, instead of trying to find a better place to hole up. And how they all recognized the dead guys boat when they got to the harbour, even though none of them knew what the guys boat looked like.

4: How the flesh-hungry zombies eat everything in sight.......except the dog they needed to further the storyline.

5: How the girl goes after the dog and screws everything up. Irritating.

6: Giving an old guy a chainsaw in a fast and unstable vehicle. How can that NOT be a bad idea?

There were some really well done scenes and some very subtle but effective parts, but overall it was just too irritating to be enjoyable.

You ever met a nurse? They're pretty tough ladies. I think they have to be, in their line of work.

I think I liked her character the best because she was the most developed. She could hold herself together when the situation was rough, but she was otherwise kind of vulnerable. Like when she got a moment alone and started sobbing as the enormity of everything sunk in on her.

I suppose I might be just a little forgiving of the movie. After being disappointed by many of the 'classic' zombie films, I thought it was absolutely refreshing.

Shaun of the Dead still kicks the crap out of it, though.

I think your quibs with the movie is that it wasn't 4 hours long. Any Bad Idea, such as giving the gay old guy a chainsaw in a fast moving car, may seem a bit odd to a guy or gal watching a movie... but the point of it is that these people ARE in a movie and are supposed to be creating a scene that is ... well... make believe. They are supposed be be stressed. The reason they don't hold up somewhere else is because they don't want to die cooped up. The fact that you don't see Steve talk about his boat, or mention the name doesn't mean it didn't happen in the artificial world they created IN the movie. Just because something did't happen on screen doesn't mean it didn't happen in the story. Example... If they didn't show Frodo and Sam walking in certain areas did it mean they just warped to another part of the land? No you are to assume certain things must take place. It is not the director's job to hand feed you all scense. Babies being dead... you should read Brian Keene's "The Rising" then talk to me about babies being dead adding to the story. I am not going to say anymore about that one.

Any other quibs with the movie can easily fall under the "it was a stressing thing to wake up and find the world gone" banner. And about the girl being a Nurse someone mentioned... it setup the opening scene ... that alluded to Day of the Dead's doctor lab... of the X-Ray... or did only I get that nod to Romero's classic?

btw C+R... realease OoH soon m8!
