Post by: Draft on May 26, 2008, 01:07:41 PM: Yup, guaranteed amazing.

Sure has gotten delayed a lot though. I wonder why. Impressions of the survivor side are always super positive, but I've read some things about playing as a zombie. That it doesn't feel nearly as tight or as fun. So maybe they're trying to fix that.

Post by: duckman2000 on May 26, 2008, 02:27:43 PM: Yeah, it looks pretty hot. I fucking hate the confetti looking blood and gore effects though, hopefully that gets improved before release.

Post by: Great Rumbler on May 26, 2008, 03:14:05 PM: I've been waiting a long time for this one. Zombie action + first-person + No Otis = Gaming perfection.

I can't wait to take on the zombie hoard head-on with my arsenal of powerful weapons or, alternatively, use my awesome zombie powers to ravage the living.

Post by: trh on May 26, 2008, 06:14:40 PM: I get the feeling those screens sorta old, from an outdated build. It seemed like they had improved the graphics a lot in the latest videos released, looked way better.

c'mon now look at this very recent video, look at the character models and especially the zombies in the later half!

this isn't 2004 anymore, when's Valve coming with its true next-generation engine?

There are regular zombies that are A.I. controlled that are pretty weak and attack in swarms, and then there are tougher zombies that are player controlled.

Post by: Mondain on May 27, 2008, 12:58:41 AM: whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? like the game looks like the prettied up bullshot running from PC hardware displayed above when in motion, have you even taken a peek at the video? it barely looks improved over Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, it absolutely isn't as smooth as that deceitful screenshot suggests; literally it looks like Half-Life 2, it's the same technology, if I didn't know about L4D's existence and someone told me that it was from a garage Half-Life 2 mod I'd believe it, and that's basically what L4D is

the R2 pic has much greater environmental scale, is from the multiplayer mode with effects yet to be implemented, and unlike the L4D picture it has no phony visual effects at work save for the anti-aliasing

I don't even care about Sony and its games at all, just stop being such flaming fanboys and continously giving me the devil's advocate role

Post by: AdmiralViscen on May 27, 2008, 01:08:00 AM: He's right though, just cuz R1 has weak screens doesn't mean this game doesn't look 2004y

Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on May 27, 2008, 02:04:24 AM: Is the multiplayer only co-op, or is there some competitive modes as well? Still down to get this, just curious.

Both. Some people play as special types of zombies and other people play as the human survivors.
