| CGI-Quality said: So now I ask you: how do you feel about the game (what's known so far, that is)? |
I'm hopeful that it'll be something interesting and not just another shooter since they seemed to be so happy about finding a handful of bullets. The idea of a survival game that forces you to kill not only the monsters around you but also other survivors seems like it could have some interesting moral issues that the story could present (if you're running out of food do you kill off a family of 3 that haven't done anything to provoke you or do you move on and hope you can find some less vulgar means to ensure your survival), and they could turn that into something you have a choice about, or just present it as a problem the characters deal with and show how that affects them.
So there's a lot of promise, the only thing I need to see is if guns aren't going to be your main means of dispatching people/infected what will you be doing instead? Will they make you use the envionment like a puzzle in order to get around/kill things in your way similar to how Amy looks or will they just substitute gunplay for melee like Dead Island. I'm hopeful that they'll go more of an Amy type approach as that's better for a suspenseful game. Dead Island is fun but it is very rarely scary because you have such a sense of empowerment.
