I completely agree with many of the commentators of this blog. 28 days or weeks later will make such a great game...ala HALO, etc. I am Legend, I believe can be spectacularly be made as a SURVIVAL video game, if you remember how the story goes from the Novel or at least the movies LAST MAN ON EARTH (W/ LEGEND VINCENT PRICE) and OMEGA MAN (w/ charlton heston), William Matheson novel that also inspired George A. Romero (as he has stated many many times), canhave you set in a city w/ the ability to move around such as GRAND THEFT AUTO, and practicly do anything, but during the day and the risks it involves at night. Obviously with a goal to survive the horror fest, save the fewuninfectedinhabitants that can start helping you in tasks, and grow a bond with them, such as Resident Evil instead of so many games where you save a guy or girl and she dissapears. Manage a small amount of people 10 or20 (also ala DEAD RISING canfit well),save them, and you might need to provide the cure for the infected. Manage a barricade when you get stucked in a roomor building at night.
Anyways, now that I think about it, this can be made as a nice beautifulSURVIVAL ZOMBIES game!!!! NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD REVISTED. Have you in a small town, fictitiousif you want, toPensylvania, havecertain features of the Movie,where youneed first to scape the CEMENTARY,walk or run a road inDAWN, throught out the woods INTO A CABIN, have different cabinsdependingon the direction you decide to run (FREESTYLE, a la GRAND THEFT AUTO), and while in the cabin there you might find different people (of course one that has exactly the same scenario as the original movie or the 1990), MANAGE TO BARRICADE find all that can help you as a BARRICADE AND fix it in, close windows, deal with the trouble -pressure with the other persons. Watch the tv. or listen to radio news, even leave them on and hear the news as you are working on barricading or solving puzzles inside the house, and get clues from those news. Achieve goals in every cabin, some might get or need to escape to another one depending on the choices you made. And of course, the ultimate, ESCAPE ALIVE from the cabin with the most SURVIVORS.
Of course that is a superficial story, but you this is not the place to cover the full game...opps did I say FULL GAME? is it in pre-production already? who knows, only future can tell!! Interested companies????
