Fantastic CG trailer, no idea what the game is going to be like though.

Trailer is seriously depressing. As art it is without a doubt a top notch effort and possibly the best trailer I've seen in years. But man, that trailer will lose it as many audience as it gains, its too bleak for entertainment.

That was really touching, one of the finest trailers I've seen.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. Thanks for the video.

Oh fuck is that the main character??? On man if that is the main character and this is the start of the game then that is seriously messed up.

Whats with the samurai girl in the first picture O_0 definitely NOT what i had in mind >_<

The graphics looks nice tho...... but that last picture is just creepy.

Wow, wasn't expecting that. That was quite moving... for a zombie game. 

Looking forward to more info. I'm hoping it'll be a simple story of one mans struggle to keep his family alive ... though judging by the video and one of the images, it seems like he fails fairly quickly into the game XD. 

waw this is really touching, is this an XBLA game or retail?

That was a very interesting trailer.  I have been waiting for this game for years.  I noticed it didn't reveal its publisher nor the platforms...  Initially it was supposed to be 360 and PC only.  I wonder if that has changed at all?
