    I've said it before and I'll say it again. The trailer might have had everbody in a huffah (why, I could never fanthom), but this game will be a 7/10. At best.

    If this game turns out anything other than a generic survival horror game I'll eat my hat. There are games much more worthy of media coverage.

    i like the look of the gameplay footage, the RPG zombie style/open world looked very interesting. Personally i havn't played a zombie game thats open world before, so i will be watching this closely to see how it turns out :)

    I thought this game looked really really good.

  • Xardan #8 12 months ago

    This is probably DLC included in new copies of the game after its released too. And since i only buy new games its perfectly fine with me.

    Damn DLC.

  • reeferchief #10 12 months ago

    This game looks good looking forward to a demo and reviews, I'm a little miffed that they're already working on dlc when the game isn't finished or released however, surely that could have just been part of the game in any case, considering it's not released until Sept.

    "Pre-order the game and you get a bonus: the full game. If you don't pre-order it we will block part of the game and then charge you $10 (£10 to you lucky Brits!) for the privilege of being able to download a 100kb code to unlock the full game. We value our customers."

    But its not a generic survival horror, its a survival horror rpg, and i dont know if that has been done before. I seen the interview with the game creator on XBL. It does not mean it will be good, but its not a straight forward survival horror
